Worse service ever! I've been waiting for more then 2 HOURS for my food! The customer service on the phone is the WORST! Very rude, gave me extreme attitude. Was yelling at me for asking where my food was after 2 hours! I asked to speak to the manager and she kept hanging up the phone 3 times! I asked to speak to someone above her and she hung up on me. The lady on the phone made me feel horrible and not trying to help me the customer. I will NEVER order from here again. WORSE SERVICE EVER! read more

Restaurant is clean. Food is great and prices are very reasonable. Service is a bit slow but overall good experience and will go back read more

The steak is amazing. I usually eat it however it is cooked and hasn't failed me yet. Their "fried" beans are delicious as well. Wendy is our favorite waitress and always delivers quickly with a smile. Even if you forget your order she already knows what you are in for. During lunch hours parking is severely limited. So beware. Many people don't know how to park correctly. read more

We just landed and desperately needed something to eat and we came across this heavenly place First off it was packed which indicated to me that food was gonna be bomb AND IT WAS omg y'all we got steak and pork chops both with rice n beans and a humongous chicken caesar salad spent about 40 bucks waited for about 45 mins for the food and it was worth the wait everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. If you see this place stop by but parking is limited and the wait maybe a while but ITS WORTH IT read more

I love this place, I've been coming here for years. Their food is tasty every time I go and the staff is pretty friendly as well. This place is tiny so the only downside is their parking situation because they only have a few spots to park in. read more

A friend of mine invited me to go to one of his favorite places which he considers a specialty Salvadoran restaurant. Since I am not familiar with this type of food, I was open to his suggestions. We started off with "Pupusas" . This is a soft white corn type tortilla grilled and filled with delicious mouth watering ingredients such as cheese, beans, meat... We had one of each - cheese & 1 with beans & meat. $2.75 cheese one - $2.50 w/meat & beans Served warm with a side of raw cabbage salad. Delicious flavor. As a meal he ordered "Super Antojots Atlakat" - $12.50 - this is a nice size to share platter but it is not for those counting calories! It is a delightful serving of varies fried items, such as Fried Cheese squares (fried to a beautiful golden crunch!), fried pork rins (crispy as can be!) fried yuca, tostones, tacitos, nacho chips with melted cheese, a small platter of re-fried beans topped with fresh sour cream, delicious grilled flank steak pieces, pico de gallo, avocado and raw cabbage with carrot salad. Everything was mouth watering delicious! Unable to figure out what i liked best! this is a very small place packing lots of flavor. read more

Delicious Salvadoran food, they have improved a lot now, the restaurant now looks newer and cleaner. And the customer service has gotten better. I love their breakfast, their food never disappoints me. I miss this restaurant so much so happy I was able to enjoy it as much as I can can't wait to go back and get fat in there! read more

Having already tried some [homemade] Central American food I was eager to try some more! Thus, Ashley took me to this little hole in the wall of a restaurant called El Atlakat. Now, whatever you do, don't judge a book by its cover...or in El Atlakat's case, don't judge their food by their service, outdoor and indoor appearance. The fact that everything was really unassuming made me feel like this place was one of those rare foodie finds. But of course, being in Miami, most people will probably have known about this place for years. But hey, I JUST DISCOVERED it, k? As hinted previously, not much can be said about the service. Most of the waitresses had their eyes glued to the two flat screens showing the latest cheesy 'novella'. Their interior needed work too, and hey what do you know, they were drilling and hammering as we ate! But I digress...this review is really about their food. And oh what little Salvadorian treasures I never knew existed. First was their tamale de elote. A sweet corn tamale boiled and served with a sort of sour cream dollop on the side. Now, let me tell you a little something about me and sweet corn. Sweet corn and I are in love. It started off from that canned variety my mom would heat up with some butter, then with the sweet corn arepas they would serve at carnivals and street fairs [calle ocho], and now this...ah, it was heaven. The next appetizer was their pupusa de queso con loroco and pupusa revueltas. Pupusas are a kind of thick, hand-made corn torilla that is stuffed. Think calzone but flatter. I was quite partial to the pupusa revueltas whereas Ashley liked the pupusas stuffed with cheese better. However, both were really quite good. Honestly, I was quite satiated at this point of the meal but hey, I'm a foodie and I never say no to more food....on to the entrée! We were initially going to go with their whole fried fish, a meal that's eluded me for quite some time. Every now and then when I go to a Latin American restaurant I would look at their fried fish, knowing that its probably really delicious. Then I usually end up ordering something else and then regret it later when I see the fried fish, in all its glory at someone else's table. This was not to be the case here until the waitress told us they did not have any more fish. So we went with the next best thing, their mariscada con leche de coco. We ordered it and said we would like to split it but when it was brought out to us, it looked like the waitress wasn't paying attention because she brought out what looked like two separate orders of the fish soup. Ashley and I weren't sure what to do, but we were up to the challenge and dug right in. Oh, it was like eating the entire cast of The Little Mermaid! It had EVERYTHING in there; fish, mussels, clams, crab, shrimp or prawn (not quite sure) all swimming in a delicious coconut milk based broth. When we received our check we were surprised to find that the waitress did indeed split the soup for us. This got me thinking, who can possibly finish that soup by themselves?! Another thing I noticed was that the check was only 38 dollares, jackpot! read more

We came here for breakfast but two of us had lunch instead. Sure glad we did! We had fried pork chunks, skirt steak, grilled shrimp, with sides of plantains, yucca, and more. Highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic meal with more than reasonable prices and good service. read more

This was my first interaction with Salvadoran food, my husband has family in El Salvador and was craving pupupas and beans to cure a hangover after tailgating and pooly partying the day before. I can't speak for dinner, we just went for breakfast, but I can only imagine this is as authentic as it gets. We both ordered pupusas and huevos rancheros, and everything was great. The plates come with avocado, beans, queso fresco, sauce and pupusa bread. This is a casual counter / diner situation, nothing fancy, just locals wearing scrunchies and showing bra straps in racerback tank tops while they take down "comida tipica" ....perfect for those mornings when you're up for something new, cheap, and filling but don't really want to break the bank or change out of your pajamas. read more

Just as Terrance said, do not miss this spot! As soon as you walk in the door, it's like you're in El Salvador. The wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. They do speak Spanish, but they are so nice I feel like you wouldn't have any problems not knowing the language. The food is very fresh and made to order. Portions are great and prices are more than fair. My boyfriend and I ordered 2 pupusas, a medium sized bowl of the seafood soup with coconut milk and 2 fresh glasses of juice for $23 and it was more than enough food for us. The carrot juice that is pressed just after you order it is also wonderful if you're sleep deprived or slightly hungover ;) Can't wait to go back to this spot next time I'm in Miami. read more

Men the best Salvadoran food by my house and I have eaten in all of them and there all good

Will never again go to this "El Atlakat" on 7th st. The service is not bad but the food is. I ordered the "mariscada" and it was nothing like the picture. There was absolutely no taste in the broth and by broth I mean colored water. I has to add salt, lemon, and hot sauce... Which by the way didn't make a big difference. The shrimp was over cooked and was not cleaned before cooking. The fish was as well over cooked and didn't taste like anything. The banana milkshake was given to me in a foam cup and sent me to the bathroom (both my sister and I) instantly. My mother had fried fish. The only ingredient seemed to be oil. The rice and tortillas we fine but over all, the food was below average and the is putting it nice. I have been to other Atlakats but I have never had such a BAD experience. read more

El Atlakat - Not at all like the picture from the menu. Mariscada ewwwwww - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Good taste, clean, and it seems like Is an affordable place to eat. I haven't finish eating neither haven't pay.

I'm very picky about cleaning standards in a restaurant...this place is really clean. The service is excellent, our waitress Marlen was so nice and smiling all the time, always ready to help us. The food is super tasty...we order sopa de Res, pupusas and empanadas. Food delicious, serve in a very reasonable time. The price is just right as well. I will recommend this place to taste our Salvadorian cuisine. It's really good. read more

This was my first foray into Salvadorean cuisine. I was brought here by an associate of mine that really liked this particular store. Before I go any further, I must say that I have a great disdain for greasier foods and usually stay away from them. These foods were greasy, but I would still go back. My friend ordered all of the food for a group of 7 people. I have no idea what was ordered because my hearing is horrid, I was at the end of the table, and my associate spoke quick and low. Oh well, I can tell you that we had a lot of appetizers. I had never had chicharrones before coming to El Atlakat. They are little square chunks of fried fat, skin, and meat. Tasted somewhat like bacon. They were okay. There was beans. There were chips. There was steak, chicken, and salsas. It was a good time. I wish I was more familiar with what I ate. I could return, but I hope they do something about the poor parking situation. read more

I've been coming here for about 6 years now and it is by far the best Salvadorian food in Miami . My typical dish is pupusas de queso and the side order of beans, cheese, avocado , and plantains. They also specialize in soups . Don't let the idea of soup fool you , these soups are a meal in them selves. My only complaint is that parking can be tough in peak hours. Other than that of you enjoy Salvadorian food this is the place to be . Don't forget to take some of the quesadilla bread home and enjoy the next morning for breakfast with coffee. read more

This is the place for breakfast! The food is always good, the service is consistent and you can't beat the prices. If I had to improve something it would be their parking and seating. At times it just gets to busy for the amount of tables they have and fir the size of their parking lot. Besides that, I love it! read more

Today around 2pm I went from the west of Hialeah to this restaurant to buy 2 soups because I like how they make it, last week I went and everything was very good. But today it was not like that, there were 3 people attending, 2 brunettes, one long hair and the other brunette with glasses, the lady who attended me was white , hair dyed in light brown, this lady because I asked her for an extra onion for the soups she made a Problem, saying that it was forbidden and I called the one with glasses and between the two of them they made a tremendous mess for an extra onion, which I felt very embarrassed as I had come to beg and not to spend $ 30 in less than half an hour. The food there is not bad but with waitresses like the lady who attended me I see them very bad, because at least I will not get there again, and God knows how many more customers will lose for her. ========== Hoy fui a este restaurante, a eso de las 2 pm, porque me gusta la sopa que hacen, vivo algo retirado del lugar pero fui el miércoles de la semana pasada y todo de lo más bien. Estuve hoy como 30 minutos y gasté $30. Pero la atención fue PÉSIMA . Estaban atendiendo 3 personas, 2 morenas, una de pelo largo y la otra morena de anteojos, la señora que me atendió era blanquita, de pelo teñido de castaño claro, esta señora porque le pedí una cebolla extra. para las sopas hizo un Problema, diciendo que estaba prohibido y llamo a la de los lentes y entre los dos hicieron un lío tremendo por una cebolla extra, lo cual me dio mucha vergüenza porque parecía que había venido a mendigar y no a gastar $ 30 en menos de media hora. La comida allí no está mal pero con camareras como la señora que me atendió los veo muy mal, porque al menos yo no volveré a llegar, y Dios sabe cuántos clientes más perderá ese lugar por ella. read more

I've been trying to find the best pupusa in Miami, and I have to say this is tied with La Pupusa Factory no. 2. However, I still haven't found anything overall as amazing as the Salvadorian/Mexican restaurant I used to go to in Athens GA, of all places (Tlaloc). The pupusas at El Atlakat are big and expertly stuffed, and they stay together while you are eating them. Nothing worse than a poorly stuffed pupusa that falls apart when you eat it. They offer queso con loroco (a small flower bud --- very good!) and pork, or beans and cheese, or pork, beans, and cheese (revueltas). They are all about $3 each. Pupusas are traditionally served with cortido, a spicy Latin American style sauerkraut (except, no restaurants actually ferment them anymore they way they are supposed to.....they are just pickled in vinegar). Cortido usually has cabbage, carrots, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Good stuff. It was decent here, but could have been spicier. They do have a salsa picante that you can use to augment the heat, so I was happy. Husband got their super antojito platter, $13 for fried cheese chunks, fried yuca, tostones, grilled beef, nachos w/cheese, bowl of refried beans with queso crema, a taquito, avocado, and chicharrones. Honestly, the two of us could have split that and been quite full. We finished it off by sharing a cafecito. They actually took the time to froth the sugar to make a very smooth, creamy coffee drink. I hate when places don't bother to froth it up. The restaurant has a parking lot out back, which is nice. From the outside, it does not look very special. Inside is a long curving counter with stools plus tables scattered around the edges of the room. The restroom was clean and well-lit and the staff were all very friendly and service was fast. I will definitely be back! But I am still going to try other places that make pupusas to see if I can find a better cortido! read more

Do not miss this El Salvadoran food gem! A bit of a language barrier, but the staff was super friendly. The pupusa was amazing. Fried pork? Killer. Sprinkle lime juice on it. You'll thank me. Ordered the #2. Came with steak, rice, beans and a corn tortilla. Just so good. If you're eating on a budget and want excellent food. Please. Do yourself a favor. Hit this place up. Oh. Unless you speak Spanish, don't bother calling. They'll hang up on you. I learned this...the hard way. Just go. read more

el salvadorean cuisine, very similar to honduran and guatemalan diner-like atmosphere, maybe a chain? several with the same name this place had the best pupusas i've had so far: chicharron and revueltas great filling the atlakat carne, pollo, camarones basically grilled (flattened) and spiced orden de chicharrones were too fried and dry horchata was perfect still busy and making nice soft moist pupusas the camarones salvadorenos sauce is very tasty and perfect for dipping those tostones. the marisco soup has a buttery coconut milk base read more

The food was really good. It was a little pricey but overall everything was good. I plan to return again in the future.

We were looking for a place with good reviews to get Pupusas. The place we normally go to is in Homestead and closed on Mondays, so this was what we found. They did not disappoint! The pupusas were great! On the large side with flavorful filling! Our 7 year old had the baby churrasco and it was enough for at least 2 meals. The fresh orange juice was a perfect accompaniment to my breakfast. We'll be back! read more

So delicious! Ate here multiple times during our visit to the Miami area. Breakfast is amazing with the eggs, cheese, crema, beans...the rice is always perfectly cooked and the Bistec Milanese is so yummy. The tortillas are thick and chewy. read more

My coworkers and I went to the Bird Road location. The food was good and it came out very quickly. Where I have a huge issue was at the end when we asked for our bill. It was painfully apparent that the server had no idea how to use the Square payment system. Three of my coworkers shared a dish because it had enough food for three people. I ordered my own meal, and my other coworker did the same. When we asked for the bill, the three that shared a meal were charged incorrectly, and for some reason the server decided to put my meal and the other meal on the same ticket. When we asked for it all be separate, instead of separating each meal, they put everything together. They wanted us to split the entire meal in five, which doesn't work as some people would wind up paying more for food they didn't even eat. It took longer to deal with the payment than it took to get our food. In the end, two of us still had to pay back two of our coworkers. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars, because the food and service has always been great. People this is a small Salvadorian restaurant in Little Havana I'm just letting you guys know of hand. The prices are great and the food portions are large. They cook to order, so you are not going to see food under heat lamps. They don't have much tables, but they do have a well spaced counter to sit. I'll give you guys an example about the food, because the picture got erased. Two pork chops with (casamiento rice) their rice and beans mixed and cooked together with a salad $8.75 you can't beat that. I also tried and love the seafood soup with coconut milk in it, you have to tell them to add the coconut milk. The whole fried fish was excellent. To my understanding is that each of their location threw out Miami cook differently and are managed by a different family member. So my review is only for this location. Check out my picture of the seafood soup. read more
