what is this? is it normal for the bone to be inside the pan con pollo? nah.

service was good and it was clean. However, the food was OK. The pupusa was amazing but the Pan con Pollo had a whole bone in there.? nah .

El Garrobero crafts dishes with textures and flavors that authentically represent Central American cuisine. Their Nuegados Solos are crispy yet tender, while the Pupusa Revuelta offers a satisfying blend of savory fillings wrapped in soft masa. Yummy and definitely coming back for more.

Baleada w beans, cheese, egg, and sour cream.

Good food and very friendly service. I love that they have both Salvi and Honduran food. The tortilla for the baleada was so soft and delicious, a meal in itself that cost less than $5! They have rice and flour pupusas, Salvi horchata, and sweet breads for sale. I'll be back!

Only thing good here

AVOID THIS PLACE! First time coming here, and it will be my last. We wait over 25 minutes just for drinks, and when the food FINALLY arrived it was so disappointing. The atmosphere was even worse. With so many screaming babies I just couldn't.

Baleada
Jean Luc M.

Went here hoping for some traditional Honduran food. Food took over 45 minutes even though all we ordered were simple baleadas and pupusas. People who arrived later than we did got served quicker. VERY DISSATISFIED. Will not be returning regardless of the food flavor. Horrible services.

Nasty tamale with french fry
Lina M.

Save yourself and don't order the tamales. Not their best work. They have no flavor and literally breakdown once you unwrap. Definitely not made with love. Pure laziness to just throw in a French fries versus cutting a potato. Plus tamales don't have potatoes this long in them. El Salvador would be ashamed & claim this place for tamales. Looks exactly how it tastes...nasty

Desayuno Tipico #2

This was our first time coming here...we happened to be in the area and were craving Salvadorian breakfast. We were a bit concerned due to the reviews touting poor customer service, but we didn't experience any (there was only one guy working, but it hadn't gotten busy yet). The food was flavorful and plentiful, without being greasy. Pupusas revueltas can be dry, in my experience, but these were juicy. The casamiento was a bit dry, though. Price was good to average for most items. We plan on returning to try more of their pupusas.

Thought El Garrobero next to Taco Nazo on Valley Blvd near the 605 freeway was pretty good. Taco Nazo opens later now, but I had to be someplace ASAP. So here I am trying out this place and it's pretty clean. So I get this little fishy plate and the little fishy comes out with his brains baked to smithereens. Why else is his eyeballs busting out staring at me. Sorry I don't like eyeballs just staring at me while I eat. Especially when there's no conversation between us. So I put a napkin over his little head RIP. I started pulling nice strips of peeling fish from all the nice skinny little bones. Tasty and add a little house sauce on it for a good kick. That salad was nice and fresh. Toss the tomatoes cause I don't like em. Service good and a nice strong of coffee was good to hit the road with.

I love getting pupusas from here! I usually call in an order and they are ready within twenty…read moreminutes. I like to get their loroco and cheese, beans and cheese, spinach and cheese, and zucchini and cheese. The pupusas are great in size and very flavorful. I love their salsa and their curtido always tastes fresh. Other items that I've had that are also delicious is their avocado toast, french toast, and eggs. The inside has several tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. It's decorated so nicely and welcoming. I love all the butterflies in the restaurant. Overall, the staff is friendly and food is delicious.

Nice little small restaurant. We went there around 12:00 and it was not busy at all. Staff is very…read moreattentive and the added fruit and lemon in the water was just delightful. I could be speaking from absolute hanger but my plate was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure what it is called, but the menu is small so it won't be hard to find. They served a side a bread and we had to ask for butter which is no big deal. Unfortunately the staff doesn't really speak a lot of English but pointing at what we wanted worked really well. One thing I am not too happy about was the use of plastic utensils. Now I'm not one to judge bc it could be maybe they do not have enough staff and it is completely understandable, but I mean I'm cutting into a steak so maybe a plastic knife isn't the way to go? Overall it was great place and it was nice and cool inside.
