Amazing! Just like the others, I stopped in one afternoon finally giving in to my craving for some good pupusas. I got my order to go-- The pupusas were made to order so they were hot and fresh and worth the wait (maybe 10 mins?). We were given traditional curtido and salsa sides, both of which complimented the taste of the pupusas. While I waited, I noticed that the restaurant was clean. They also have a TV to watch soccer and other games while you're there. Since I moved back to Sacramento from Reno, I struggled to find a good Honduran/Salvadoran restaurant. I was so excited to try this place, so much so that I told the cashier that. He said, "You're gonna love them" and he was right! I am so glad El Boritracho opened near me!! I'm sure we will be coming back frequently and I can't wait to try some other dishes as well. read more

Authentic Honduran & Salvadoran food. Very tasty and definitely recommend if you're looking for something different. read more

The food is very bland. The service is OK. The ambience is amazing, but the food was not up to par to be a Caribbean when you cook with love and passion you cook amazing food. This place is not that everybody was bragging about it because they were saying that it was Caribbean food with whatever, but it was in whatever category They need to do some really highly seasoning of their food, especially their meats. You can have something that seasoned on the outside and not seasoned on the inside because all you getting is just blonde meat. read more

We have been looking for good, authentic, Puerto Rican food in this area & when we saw the menu we knew we were at the right place!! The food was delicious the service, was great, very friendly. They have great music playing on a large screen. We didn't need the screen but the music is very uplifting. When he saw my husbands military hat, he right away told us we would be receiving a Military Discount We will be putting El Boritracho on our regular places to enjoy a wonderful meal. read more

I went here last year and I am Puerto Rican I know my food flavors and condiments... The food didn't taste anything like the islands..but it was okay...The only thing I really enjoyed was my India Malta. I had mofongo con camarones, it was salty. read more

Nice to see this restaurant here since the cuisine they serve isn't very easy to find in Sacramento. They are a Puerto Rican, Salvadorian and Honduran fusion. I'm familiar with Puerto Rican food because it is the food I cook and grew up eating. I had never had Honduran or Salvadorian food. When ordering I made sure it was something that sounded familiar to me because I mainly went in for the Puerto Rican food. I ordered the mofongo with shrimp and while it tasted a bit different than what I'm used to, it was delicious. The mixed rice was a bit different for me but it was good too. My kids had the fried fish, the pastelon which is like lasagna but instead of using pasta, sweet plantains are used to make the layers and one had a beef dish I had never heard of but everyone was very happy with what they ordered and ate everything on their plate. As a kid I remember not liking Coco Rico at all. This is a coconut water beverage. I was offered one so I tried it again after not having it for years and I'm not sure if my taste buds changed but I LOVED IT! The service: This alone is 5 stars. The food takes a little while because they make it right then and there. That usually isn't a problem because besides going out for the food, we go out to have a good time together, talk and enjoy each other's company and the wait time allowed us to do just that. Ray was our server. In my reviews I often mention having a son in the autism spectrum because outings are determined by what he can handle, how he is treated, how we are treated and because I know there are many other parents in similar situations and I love letting them know where they will feel welcome. Ray was fabulous. When he asked my son what he wanted to order, I had to step in and say, my son is non verbal but to my pleasant surprise although I placed the order for my son, Ray looked at my son as if he was the one ordering as if to let him know he saw him. I LOVED THAT! When Ray was bringing the food to the table he gave my son his food first while talking to him very naturally, without infantilizing him which people, including "professionals" do all the time even though he is 22. I really appreciated the way Ray interacted with my son. I'm sure that like many new places and depending on what you are looking for, it'll be a hit or miss but I rate places by my experience and whether or not I enjoyed the food that was on my plate. I wish this new place the best and hope to see them prosper. read more

Papooses are super good I'd recommend you try them great spot with good staff and a enjoyable place to eat

Great family ran restaurant! We try to get at least one new thing each time we go. The pupusas are great! Everything we have had has been good. Give them a try. It's a small spot, don't come in there expecting fine dining. Temper your expectations on ambience, it's no frills good food. I hope to be able to come back for years to come. read more

Was excited to see a nearby Salvadoran spot! Originally saw it on DoorDash and had to look it up and saw how close it was. We ordered pupusas and a tamale Togo. The food was wrapped up as if it came from someone's home. Just feels like you went to your abuelitas house for food. The food did not disappoint! We got pork and cheese pupusas and they were nice and stuffed! Super cheesy and not skimpy on the filling at all. It comes with the salsa and curtido and all of it was delicious. I ordered a tamale and they mentioned it was a Honduran tamal which I've never tried but was willing to. I got the chicken one and they are nice and soft wrapped in banana leaves similar to a Salvadorian tamal. Very tasty and we will be back. We found our new pupusa place. read more

It's a great place to get home style Salvadoran and Honduran food, I was a bit hesitant because it looked closed and the sign is tiny you'll miss it but I'm sure glad I came in. All food ordered was gone before I knew it, the price is good since you'll get big portions, also they make their tortilla by hand so you know they're way better than what you get store bought. Service was great, the food came out fast and I really wanted to try more, I'll have to come back and see what else I can find that I haven't had in a long time, I'm thinking of bringing my parents over, I highly recommend this place. Update: We came back with my parents and they loved it, I got some pupusas and carne deshilada and wow!!! I think I'll try everything at least once, so far so good, I can't recommend this restaurant enough, definitely a hidden gem out here, please support this place, I hope to have them around for a long time. read more

Came here to try some Puerto Rican food because my husband was craving for some. The sweet plantains were good and the mofongo tasted authentic. My daughter liked her quesadilla. We didn't the rice as it tasted like rice pilaf. If you in the area and want to try Puerto Rican/Mexican/Honduran food, this is the place. read more

El Boritracho - Mofongo with beef and mofongo with shrimp (Bottom), quesadillas and sweet plantain (top) - Salvadoran Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

I finally had time to eat at El Boritracho today and I don't think I'll ever get "to go" ever again. The service was great especially since there was a large party there and it's just him. He's (I'm getting his name next time!) very attentive and works really hard going between bringing food out, cashing people out, and taking orders. It was nice to eat in the restaurant and eat chips and listen to music while waiting for food. It's just a friendly environment. I ordered the monfongo with shrimp and an order of tostones. The monfongo is so amazing. I wish I could describe the different layers of flavors in this dish. It's something you just have to go order and then become addicted to. I noticed a breakfast menu that I'll have to go try very soon. read more

Delicious food! I wish we had a location closer to midtown. I think they would do great on the grid! The service was amazing. You can tell that they put their heart into this business and the food. I had the Honduran tacos and they tasted just as I remember my days in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I cleaned the plate. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. They offer open seating and will take your order at the table OR you can order at the counter to go. Very good selection of authentic dishes. I will be returning!!! It's worth the drive / leaving the grid (which I don't even say about visiting my family). It's that good! read more

I saw the 4 1/2 star yelp reviews and was again misled. We drove to this restaurant, walked inside and could not see ourselves dining here. The smell alone with drive any reasonable person away. The inside smelled like wet bathroom floor and taco sauce. Just cannot. read more

My mom is from Honduras and is so happy we found this place. The food is delicious. The inside is decorated very nice with real flowers at every table. The waiter was also very kind. We didn't get any pictures of the food because we ate it all as soon as it came out... read more

Wow! Great find. Seemed like a bar when I walked in. So that caught me off guard. But this place had incredible food to feed hungry patrons too. Amazing papusas, which I always crave with lots of slaw. Red sauce was perfectly balanced too! We also ate mufungo and so much more. Can't wait to go back! By the way, I placed my order on the phone to pick up and they were sooo patient with me answering all my questions! read more

I called to find out if I could place an order to dine-in so I did not have to wait too long once I got there, and they accommodated my request. I ordered a fried fish, some pupusas and an order of french fries. Got there, and a couple of minutes later we were served. The food was piping hot. The fish fried to perfection and the pupusas were delicious. Oh, and you must try their "nance and marañon" juice, or their "tamarindo" drink. Amazing!!! I would definitely come back again and again. Prices are fair for the amount of food you are served. This is a small business, family owned and catered. read more

It is so hard to find any Puerto Rican restaurants on the west coast, let alone good ones. We recently moved to Sacramento area and am so happy that we found this amazing restaurant! The alcapurria was like PR and the meat and chicken that we ordered was not only super tender but delicious! We will definitely be back!! read more

Decided to come here for my 25th anniversary instead of using my La Provence reservation. The owners are really friendly and nice. When looking up hot and new on my computer I was not able to see the menu (but can from my phone) so I have added photos. Prices are very reasonable and food is really fresh tasting. I forgot to take a photo when the dish came out, but did as soon as I remembered. This was the 4 person platter combination plate (under the snacks section). We will be back! read more

Absolutely amazing food! Service was great and quick! We ordered a baleada, 2 different pupusas, plátanos fritos, and carne molida con tostones. Everything was fresh and full of flavor! Only downside was the small portion of plátanos fritos. But 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting authentic Honduran food! read more
