I asked the cashier and they said they have their breakfast menu but people order soup or a real meal for breakfast too. I did the pupusa and the carne asada meal and it was good. The coleslaw that came with the pupusa has a cucumber taste to it and if you don't like cucumber like me you won't like it. My husband did though. We had a great first time experience. Some customers ordered soup and I want to try that next.

And as a treat I always always order a large side of the fried plantainswith creamA. I don't understand the one star reviews. The food is honest to goodness feel good El Salvadoran comfort food. The prices also cant be beat. The place is no less than the other strip mall restaurant and the servers are ulta friendly and are always willing to explain the different menu offerings. And to top it off, the prices are not that bad. It actually so much better than what you would pay for at a fast food place. So if you are craving Salvadoran comfort food give Antojito Salvadoran Isabel a try !

As a local business owner with over 20 years of experience serving customers, I understand how…read moreimportant customer service is. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at La Brasa have been very disappointing. The biggest issue has been the customer service. The person answering the phone has been consistently rude, has taken our orders incorrectly multiple times, and instead of trying to resolve mistakes professionally, argues with customers. That is simply not the level of respect or professionalism I expect from a business that has been part of the community for so many years. I have also noticed that the food quality has declined compared to what it used to be. It's disappointing because this restaurant once had an excellent reputation. I sincerely hope management addresses these concerns by improving customer service, training staff to communicate respectfully, and restoring the quality that made so many people loyal customers. I'd be happy to update my review if I see meaningful improvements.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over six years, and after today's experience, I will…read morenever return. I called in an order for carne asada and a grilled chicken burrito. When my husband brought the food home, we realized we had been given a shredded beef burrito instead of grilled chicken. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with the same employee who took my order. She repeated what I had originally ordered and admitted that she entered it incorrectly in the system. She apologized and told me they would remake the correct burrito and that it would be ready for pickup in 15 minutes. My husband drove back to the restaurant, only to be told by the owner that they would not give him the replacement burrito unless he returned the incorrect one. That would have been completely understandable had we been told that before he made a second trip to the restaurant. When I called to address the situation, the owner explained that when an employee makes a mistake, the employee has to pay for the food and takes the incorrect food home. He was concerned about replacing the burrito without getting the original back because someone had to pay for it. Respectfully, how the restaurant chooses to handle employee mistakes internally has nothing to do with me as a paying customer. The restaurant admitted the mistake was theirs, and I simply expected them to correct it. Instead of trying to resolve a very simple issue, the owner became extremely rude and dismissive and told me to bring all of the food back and he would refund my entire order. When I arrived at the restaurant, the interaction became even worse. He again acknowledged that the employee had entered my order incorrectly but continued arguing with me over a mistake I did not make. He then accused me of "always having issues" when I come to his restaurant, which is simply untrue. In more than six years of patronizing this business, I have never returned a meal. I have even found a hair in my food in the past, brought it to their attention, and STILL paid for my meal without making an issue of it. What bothered me most was the complete lack of respect. I told him directly that I felt like I was being treated like sh** in front of an entire restaurant full of people, despite being a longtime customer and despite his own employee admitting that the restaurant made the mistake. His response was essentially to take the food back and refund everything rather than simply correct the order. I have the entire encounter recorded, so there is no confusion about how this situation was handled. Mistakes happen. I was never upset that the wrong burrito was made. The problem was how the owner chose to handle a simple mistake after it was acknowledged. A loyal customer should not be argued with, embarrassed, or treated disrespectfully because of an error made by the restaurant. After more than six years and hundreds of visits, I never expected to be treated this way. Unfortunately, this experience has completely changed how I view this establishment, and I will not be returning.

I have been to El Andariego before, but this time I was blown away by the food and the service…read more The pupusas were delightful! I got the bean and cheese for my appetizer. The portion sized was so generous I could only eat one. The beans were well seasoned, and the cheese was not to overwhelming. The main course though? Oh boy! The Special Quesadilla with chicken was phenomenal! The chicken actually had flavor which was a pleasant surprise compared to other restaurants that will remain nameless. The ratio of meat to cheese was just right, and even with having the large amount of chicken, it did not make for a messy eat. But what brought it all together was the amazing service. My party had arrive 10 minutes before me, and the waitress was there to welcome me right away. My order was taken almost immediately. And my appetizer came out at the same time as everybody else's. My water was always refilled without asking and I was given a box for my leftovers because she had observed that I was full. If you are ever in Ashton, make sure to visit-you wont be disappointed!

So glad we got to experience it. The moment we sat down, the server provided complimentary chips with salsa. Delicious. Some of the many items we ordered were: Guacamole - great. tacos : shrimp, carne asada and lengua. Highly recommend the lengua tacos. Tacos themselves looked and tasted handmade. Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

The restaurant is located inside the back of a liquor store. I got 3 pupusas: cheese ($2.75), chicken ($2.75), and revuelta ($2.75) which has pork, beans, and cheese. The pupusas came with a type of coleslaw and a sauce. As a first timer I can say that the pupusas were solid. If I was ranking the pupusas I tried I'd say: 1- revuelta, 2-chicken, and 3-cheese. All in all, this is a solid location that serves decent pupusas. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other items like the steak n cheese with fries.
