Friendly staff. Great food at great prices. Definitely coming back here for more pupusas!!!

This was not only an El Salvadoran place but an Honduran place! Which i was so excited as I rarely see Honduran places and am always looking for specific dishes from my home country. We got a mix of a few items from pupusas (5/5) baleadas (5/5) and pollo frito con tajadas (5/5). The service was great. The waiter came up to us and let us take our time deciding. The place wasn't crazy busy but it was full which shows how great the food is there. If you are ever in this area I recommend stopping by. I know i will if i ever come back here. read more

Part of the food was good bad service wrong order they did nothing to fixed not coming back

I pass this place every Wednesday and yesterday I decided to try it. It was overpriced for the food quality is not the best, you can get a lot better tasting food if you do it yourself for a lot less, the cashier also charged me more than what I ordered unless a canned coke is $8, I didn't say anything cause that was about what I was gonna tip but made it clear that they taking advantage of people. Anyway this place deserves a one star or less for that read more

Amazing pupusas!! We came here with my native Salvadoran mother in law and she approved! She said these were the best pupusas she's had in the states! They are huge and full of fillings. The service was very quick and attentive, one of the servers even saw us struggling to take a family selfie with our piles of pupusas and offered to take the photo for us. I've never had a pupusa con queso y ayote and it was DELISH. The salsa and curtido were excellent as well. So happy we discovered this gem not too far from home!! read more

I went inside with only one couple inside which usually is not good sign about the food. The waitress were polite . I have never eat salvadorian food so decision was more harder.., so the only concern for me it was pork-free dish. I end taking carne asada..(grilled) So thanks to yelper before me to guude me to this place, the food really good , by the c time I left , the place was half full (thursday night). So I guess the place has solid reputation with local. My carne asada was 14.00 which .s is really good compre to the flavor. read more

Amazing restaurant! Authentic, delicious, cozy and warm. Try the pupusas, and get an horchata to drink. A little background for comparison: I'm from a Salvadorian family - I have 6 aunts and uncles, about 30 cousins, and we've been to every Salvadorian restaurant we can find in the state. I've been to and lived in El Salvador, and had home cooked and professionally cooked meals there. This is one of the best. The pupusas were delicious; they tasted like healthier versions of the ones you get on the street in El Salvador. I tried them with three different fillings, and they were all fantastic. The curtido was the best I've ever had, and had diced jalapeños to give it some extra flavor. The carne asada was exactly what I was expecting and was incredibly flavorful. It came traditionally with beans, rice, and a salad. The refried beans deserve a round of applause, they tasted just like home. The yuca con chicharrón was one of the best appetizers, and was fun to eat! They had multiple types of horchata - rice or morro, and I tried both, you should too. It's sweet without being too sweet, and complements any and every dish. To top it all off, we ordered quesadilla for desert. If you're not familiar with Salvadorian quesadilla, it's a sweet bread served with sesame seeds - nothing like Mexican ones. Everything was great! Service was fast, and we were treated like family. One thing I do want to mention - we were a party of 40. And still, the food came out flawlessly, quickly, and didn't sacrifice flavor or completeness. 10/10, will go back. Thanks, Maribel! read more

The BEST place for pupusas in NORWALK CT. The food is fresh made to order and absolutely DELICIOUS! Me encanta comer aquí! You will enjoy this hidden gem. Buen provecho! read more

*** for their food! ********** for their service!!!! Their service is beyond OUTSTANDING! Some may find it overbearing and maybe even confusing because you technically have 3-4 waitress waiting on you BUT we didn't feel uncomfortable at all. We actually felt like we were in great hands! As far as far as the food, it was tasty. I'm a Pupusa snob and I have to admit that I've been on the hunt to find Pupusas that taste the same or better than my fav place in Brooklyn! Unfortunately, I am still on the hunt. The Pupusas here were tasty but a little dry and the incurtido (cole slaw) wasn't really good. It was all spicy. I was also turned off about the fact that I couldn't order my Pupusas how I wanted them (chicharrón, frijol y queso) because it wasn't part of their menu. It's surprising to me how they cannot be accommodating if they are made on the spot. We also tried a Baleada and it was good but served a little after it was made and the tortilla wasn't as warm as it should have been. Had a Elote tamal and that was also just ok. Dry and not as sweet and soft as it should be. I will return and give them another chance based on the great service and since they are closer to home than Brooklyn. read more

Best Lomo Saltado I've had. Rich flavors from fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. I was just passing through town but wish I lived closer so could explore more of their menu. read more

I used a credit card today 2/1/17. Master card or visa only I believe. No Amex Papusa's and beans and rice fantastic. Fairly large portions. Covered lunch and dinner. Store front misleading doesn't look that nice but the interior was nice. Look forward to sharing with my younger kids all of who cook very well and love good food. Plus it's way cheaper than feeding them pho or sushi. read more

Simply tasty, home-like food. The pupusas are the best, they're my favorite with tamarindo juice. It's a nice place that makes you feel like you're in El Salvador. read more

El Savor Salvadoreno - Salvadoran Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

For good wholesome Salvadorean food....it doesn't get better. Their guac is always fresh, the sauces are awesome and the whole staff always has a smile. I love this place for a quick meal or a hot bowl of soup read more

Great pupusas and tres leches! The head waitress (maybe she was the manager or owner not sure) was incredibly nice. I went for pickup and unfortunately they couldn't make a pupusa without cheese (someone in our party is allergic to diary) but they had other dairy free options. Looking forward to trying out more of their menu! read more

My roommate in college was Salvadoran, and I have been to El Salvador... save yourself a plane ticket... this culinary hotspot is the real thing!!! We tried six different dishes our first time there and were blown away... could eat here every day and never get tired... WOW!!! read more

If you're looking for a place to go for seriously authentic Salvadorian (and Central American) food, this is your place. I spent a week in El Salvador a few months ago and fell in love with papusas. Round, thin, corn flour tortillas stuffed with chicken or beans that are sealed and grilled. Why does every culture offer flour-based dough with delicious fillings? Because it's a great idea. They deliver on real, honest papusas here. At $2 each, three is enough for a small meal. Add on plantains and you'll be more than satisfied. The other meals looked just as good. Have honest expectations; cilantro rice and fancy-ass tacos don't exist in Central America. You get the basics. They have everything you'd expect on a typical menu. The menu is in Spanish first with an English translation. You're best bet is to speak Spanish (the server didn't speak English when I was there). You could get by with pointing and smiling. Don't get scared off by this. This hurdle is worth it for authentic food. Be a little uncomfortable and enjoy the experience. read more

Very clean. Nice staff. Great prices. CASH ONLY. Great food. Will definitely go back. read more

Awesome pupusas everytime I come and very family friendly. The food is always good and the servers are very polite. One of my go to spots in sono!!!! read more

This Salvadorean restaurant is very good. The food is authentic, the place is clean, service is friendly and the prices very reasonable. While the place is not flashy- give it a try as you will not be disappointed. We found it by chance on one of our trips by Connecticut. Now we make a stop when ever we drive thru Norwalk CT. As for what is good - breakfast: huevos con chorizo, great coffee. Main dishes: pupusas and soups. read more

What a great find! This place is authentic and delicious! Needed to kill time before my train and stumbled upon this gem! It's a nice small clean place with a great menu. Def comfort food for me. I had the yuca and fried pork belly for app and chuletas for my meal- it was great- a nice portion size with a side of rice and beans. Had the horchata which was good but a bit sweet for my taste- I'm used to the Mexican horchata which is more cinnamon-y. It's cash only but they have an ATM inside. Def coming back! read more

My wife and I went here last Monday for lunch. It helps if you speak a little Spanish. The food is unreal. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend it. read more

As one whose second country is El Salvador, I was delighted to find this restaurant, which serves wonderful pupusas in six flavours. I happily ordered a bunch to take home with me and they were delicious (so was the curtido with a little bit of zip to it). While I waited for them to be prepared, I ate a serving of carne asada, which was moist and nicely seasoned. It was accompanied with rice, beans, salad and tortilla and made me imagine I was back in San Salvador at my comedor típico. Sadly, I am losing my home base in the next town over. I wish I had discovered this restaurant sooner, but for the time being, I will be back and will send friends here as well. read more
