    Restaurante Salvadoreno la Familia is a small no-frills type restaurant that despite the business…read morename, they seem to be having a personality crisis as to whether they want to offer Salvadoran food or classic American diner food. Next to pupusas, soup and other Salvadoran foods, they have sandwiches, breakfasts and other menu items that would be more at home on a diner menu than a Salvadoran restaurant menu. Since I am pretty much obsessed with pupusas, I went with three pupusas. They were fairly priced at three dollars a piece. The ordering process is relatively straightforward. You go to the counter and place your order. When it is ready, they bring it to your table. My pupusas were brought to me with the expected slaw and sauce. I find that the best pupusas that I have had here in this country were in Nashville, Tennessee and I found some great pupusas at a flea market on Orange Blossom Trail here in Orlando, Florida, but comparing it to other pupusas that I have tried here in Orlando (other than the ones at the OBT Flea Market), they were good. Not great, not the type that would haunt my dreams, but good. If you are looking for a local place, this place is not a bad place. Not great, but overall decent. Overall, I will give it four stars.

Al revisar mi recibo, noté que me cobraron $1.98 por una botella de agua que no pedí. Cuando pregunté al respecto, el cajero, José, primero dijo que era por el hielo. Cuando mi esposa pidió una aclaración, cambió su respuesta y dijo que era por el agua del grifo filtrada--$1.00 por el agua y $0.98 por impuestos. La comida es excelente, pero asegúrate de revisar tu cuenta antes de pagar. Lamentablemente, parece que cobrar de más a los clientes es algo aceptable aquí. I really enjoy the food here, and the prices are great, so it's disappointing to leave this rating. I've been here a few times, but this visit left a bad impression. When I checked my receipt, I noticed I was charged $1.98 for a bottled water I didn't order. When I asked about it, the cashier, Jose, first said it was for ice. When my wife asked for clarification, he changed his answer, saying it was for filtered tap water--$1.00 for the water and $0.98 for tax. The food is excellent, but be sure to check your bill before paying. Unfortunately, it seems like overcharging customers is acceptable here.

I will never go back to this location and the owner Miguel is the worse ,giving an excuse for his employees stupidity and not caring that i live an hour away and will not be able to get back and deal with the issue .

    Driving along Highway 1 in Vero Beach, Florida, I saw the sign as I flew by. The sign simply said…read more"pupusas," but that one word was enough for me to make a u-turn and head back. If you are unfamiliar with pupusas, they are a Salvadoran culinary delight. Think of them as a glorious meat pancake and you will only get to about halfway to the glory of what a pupusa can be. Pulling into a shopping plaza that has definitely seen better days. Parking was a bit limited, but not too much of an ordeal. El Paraiso Latino is certainly a very humble place, the kind of establishment that you would not look at twice, but missing this place would indeed be your loss. It is usually at these hole-in-the-wall type places that you will find some great food and here was no exception. I ordered two pupusas and a steak taco. The steak taco was a bit small, however it was tasty. The pupusas were decently sized and were also tasty. Prices were a little higher than what I normally pay, but not by much. This lunch was a bit over twelve dollars and I walked out feeling stuffed and contented.

This is a small family operated shop everyone was friendly and our server kindly answered our questions. There are a few tables to dine in, with plates and flatware; not paper and plastic. I had cheese pupusas, cabbage salad and plantains. For those who don't know I would describe pupusa as a hot sandwich it looks similar to a pita bread but is made of corn flour. It's filled with choices of meat, beans, and cheese. I will be back with non vegetarian family to try more options. The cheese pupusa was hot and Delicias as promised! cabbage salad was basically a creamy coleslaw. Some pickled cabbage also came with the pupusa. Both were very good. Plantains were sliced thin and fried, sweet and ripe, they were served with a rich cream sauce. Pickled onions were also offered we they were very good but I don't eat onions. My SO had a breakfast of eggs, corn tortilla, large slice of white cheese, refried beans and plantains. He ate all the beans and made an egg sandwich with the rest. This might not be the traditional way to eat a Salvadoran breakfast but he enjoyed it. He also had a house salad which he said was very fresh. I will be telling others to try this spot!

I got 3 different pupusas, the pastelitos, and a Jamaica agua fresca, and everything was as good as I remember. My friend's mom used to make me pupusas, salsa and curtido, and these were just as good. I'm telling all my friends to give them a try and enjoy. Sadly, they're closed on Sunday and Monday.

I've had pupusas a few times, but it's been a while so I was really excited to come to Pupusas & Burritos Grill. When I saw they did a unique take on pizza as well I decided I had to get both options to see how they were. It turns out, both were awesome! The pizza was a bit like a typical "Florida Pizza" so to speak in that it wasn't super thin, it wasn't crispy, it wasn't wood oven, etc - it had a fluffy dough and a good amount of sauce and cheese. But what set it apart was the huge flavor! The sauce was really tasty, the dough was tasty and the cheese was good quality and stretchy without being oily. The added pesto all over the pizza was like someone just pureed fresh basil - it was SO good. The best "margarita" style pizza I've had in a long time! The Pupusas were exactly what you'd expect. A nice dough with a cheesy bean mixture inside which was both really tasty and made you want to eat it all in seconds. The side salad / coleslaw was surprisingly good as well, with a great oil and vinegar type dressing that made me eat it all up when I often leave coleslaw uneaten. Overall I loved everything - the girl who took the order was really nice and the food came out fast. Will definitely go back.

Plus you can see their selection baked goods. I looked at the menu prior and had a sense of what I wanted. I started with the Pastelito de Pina. First time ever hearing about this. It's solid. The crust was sugar coated and unique. The pineapple filling was smooth with a sweet texture. I mainly came to get the pupusas and try Salvadorian tamales. I got a bean & cheese pupusa and chicken tamale. When I open up my pupusa, instant cheese pull. And it was pretty good. They provide some kind of slaw on the side. I put the slaw and some hot sauce on top...creating the PERFECT bite. I tried some of my sisters shrimp pupusa. Personally I wouldn't order that but it was tasty and flavorful. I've never had a proper tamale so the chicken tamale was my first. The texture is really smooth and light. With seasoned shredded chicken all through out. For my first tamale, it was good. I also tried the fried tamale and it was a whole different story. The exterior was crispy and dark in color. Inside it was sweet with a corn taste. I was like wow. They paired it with a white sauce that was really good. Making me think of sour cream and cream cheese in one. We brought back a tres leches and flan home. The Tres leches was really good. It wasn't soggy and held up well. The flan cake was good but the sugar juices on the bottom tasted burnt. Which was distasteful. Service was okay. I felt like it could've been better. They weren't disrespectful or anything. If our server was new or having a bad day my apologies.
