    Especial de la Casa

    The service and attention to needs and wants from costumers is amazing. The ambiance is incredible as far as being clean and decorating. The food is spectacular! Agua frescas 10/10, baleadas 10/10, flan 10/10! My favorite was especial de la casa y agua de maracuya! Overall in 4 days this restaurant was visited 3 times by my family and I! Chefs kiss‍

    If you want to throw money away, this is the place to go. Let me start with the food, by saying that it was basic and flavorless at best. Meat with no flavor, tostones that were limped, maduras hard as a rock. Drinks were overpriced for what you get. They charged you at front for credit cards payments with no option to pay cash. They also charge for to go containers. Surprisingly, air was free. Service was slow unfriendly. I'm shocked this place is still opened for business.

    Good Food Concha's Negras Coctel  French Fries and A really Cold Heineken

    This place was pretty good. The prices are crazy good and the portions are huge. We were attended right away when we got there for lunch. There was only one table being occupied and the tables were spaced out because of covid precautions. The server (there was only one) was wearing a mask. The food came out with a reasonable amount of time, tasted fresh, and was hot. The place looked clean and I can't complain at all about the service or food. Nothing to necessarily blow you out of the water, but it's a good little hole in the wall place to have a cheap and filling meal. I'll definitely be coming back here.

    Me encanta este lugar. La comida es de buena calidad. Comida muy auténtica y el ambiente siempre bueno.

    This is their dining area. Very honey.... definitely not your 5 star appearance but the food makes up for it.

    There's something about finding a hidden gem when it come to authentic homestyle food. This little place is one of them. Ample convenient parking. Don't drive too fast, you will totally miss it. El Tipico Guanaco is best known for their Pupusas. It's a traditional Salvadoran dish of a thick corn tortilla stuffed with a savory filling, (chicharron or queso).... my favs... accompanied by (repollo) spicy coleslaw. Don't knock it until you try it. This place has great variety of shakes or batidos. Their prices are amazing and best of all their carry out allows for a quick dinner when all else fails. Skip the fast food!

    Great food for a great price! I discovered this El…read moreSalvadorian restaurant by accident. Starving after a day in the sun, we popped in to check it out. From the outside, the building looks a little run down but once inside you could never tell. We ordered the Super Antojitos Atlakat. This is a loaded plate with carne asada, refried beans, chicharrones, tostones, yuca, and cheese. Each item was filled with bold, comforting flavors with a touch of what felt like home cooking. My friends complimented the crispness of the pork belly. The meal was filling for 3 of us with left overs. Seems like they have a great lunch menu and the prices are very reasonable.

When I arrived, I was surprised they had more tables than I was expecting. There wasn't a wait, but it was full. They also have counter seating with a tv if you're into that. I ordered pupusas "revueltas." For those who might not know, a pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from thick corn tortilla stuffed with a mixture of ingredients. "Revueltas" or "mixed/scrambled" which I ordered is a combo of beans, cheese and pork mixture which is blended and filled inside the pupusa. It's served with a type of cabbage salad and tomato sauce. So good. I also ordered a tamale which was delicious as well. This is my go-to place when I'm looking for Salvadoran. Try it!

    La Casita Salvadoreña - pequeño lugar, SABOR GIGANTE…read more Si crees que el tamaño importa... este lugar viene a desmentirte con un plato en la mano. La Casita Salvadoreña, ubicada en Commercial Boulevard, es el clásico hole in the wall que parece discreto por fuera, pero por dentro te da una bofetada de sabor (con cariño ). Las porciones son absurdamente buenas. No sales lleno... sales derrotado. Y lo mejor: no solo sirven comida de El Salvador, sino que también hay sabores de Nicaragua, así que básicamente hice turismo gastronómico sin comprar boleto de avión. La comida sabe tan auténtica que por un momento pensé que mi celular iba a cambiar de roaming. Me sentí como si estuviera en otro país, sentado en una mesa humilde, comiendo comida casera hecha con amor y cero miedo a servirte bastante. El personal es tremendamente amable, súper servicial y con esa energía de "siéntate, come y disfruta, que aquí estás en casa". Nada de poses raras, nada fancy... solo buena vibra y mejor comida. Conclusión: Un lugar pequeño, con el sabor de un gigante, precios justos, porciones serias y una experiencia que te hace sonreír mientras te aflojas el cinturón. No te olvides de las Pupusas. Si no has ido, ve. Si ya fuiste, sabes que digo la verdad. Y si sales con hambre... hiciste algo mal.

    How can something this simple hit this hard?…read more At Pupusa Time, I'm genuinely at a loss for words--and that doesn't happen often. The space? No frills. The menu? Straightforward. But the food? Completely out of this world. Let's talk pupusas. At their core, it's just a corn tortilla stuffed with cheese. That's it. And yet somehow, it delivers more satisfaction than dishes ten times as complicated. Yes, they offer the classics--beans, chicharrón, the revuelta--but don't overthink it. The roasted garlic (ajo asado) pupusa is the move. Full stop. My first visit lined up with the Artemis mission, and honestly, that feels appropriate. The cheese pull stretches like it's trying to reach the moon, and I'm not convinced that cheese was made on this planet. It's rich, perfectly melted, and borderline absurd in the best way. And then there's the curtido--that bright, tangy slaw that cuts through everything with just enough funk and crunch to keep you grounded... or maybe not. Because paired with that pupusa, you're floating. There are very few handheld foods on Earth that can compete with this. Make the trip. Order the roasted garlic. Thank me when you land back on Earth.

    If you're anywhere near Hollywood, FL and your stomach whispers "pupusas"--listen to it. Pupusas…read moreTime understood the assignment and absolutely delivered. We ordered takeout and the container alone told me I was in good hands: warm, generously stuffed pupusas wrapped with care like the precious cargo they are. The masa was perfectly cooked--soft with just the right crisp on the outside--and the fillings were flavorful, melty, and comforting in that this tastes like someone's abuela made it kind of way. And let's talk about the supporting cast. The curtido? Crunchy, tangy, and refreshing. The salsa roja? Balanced, savory, and not shy about flavor. Add a little kick if you want--everything plays its role beautifully. Even the jalapeño made an appearance like, "I'm here if you're brave." This is the kind of spot where you don't need frills or fancy plating. You need good food, done right, and Pupusas Time nails it. Simple menu, big flavors, and portions that make you feel like you got hugged by your takeout bag. Highly recommend for a casual dinner, comfort-food cravings, or when you want to remind yourself why hole-in-the-wall gems are undefeated. I'll absolutely be back--hungry and unapologetic.
