I LOVED the food; genuinely the best thing I've tasted in a while. I sincerely recommend getting fried yucca and adding salt to it.
Who ever owns this restaurant really needs to look into their customer service. Pretty bad I will say , not sure if this is normal for a Salvadorian restaurant but the girls working there hate what they do. Love the pupusas though! Not to mention they take for ever to have the order ready, event if they tell you is going to be 30 min never believe them it can be more like 60 min
Unfortunately not it. My sister because of tiktok, said we should try it out. The pupusas had great flavor, but whoever made them obviously doesn't know how. They were small and very masudas, in other words the edgings were pure masa (corn flour) the filling wasn't spread as it should be. The curtido was spicy (salvador doesn't really do spicy, so what was that? La salsa, well just didn't hit as it should've) The tamel de elote was sweet. Me/my family is from San Miguel. And not just that but every tamale de elote is savory not sweet. There's was sweet, automatic turn off and they didn't even give us salvadorean cream, I asked for it and still never got it. Drove about 50 minutes out for disappointment. I could have gone to Dinora's on 1960 instead and left happy.
