    Carne Guisada plate
    Chris R.

    I decided to give this local restaurant another try. And it was again a disappointment. Came in on Friday which is apparently karaoke night. While this would have been all fine and dandy if the restaurant wasn't so small, and the DJ set up wasn't made for a huge venue. It wasn't just loud. It was painfully loud. So loud that the waitress couldn't hear me or understand my order. So many minutes later she brought out the wrong order. I had ordered Carne Guisada and she brought Carne Asada. The Asada looked burnt. So I sent it back. Didn't really get any apologies. it was obvious that the waitress spoke no English. But even pointing at the picture didn't help. When the food finally came out, was poorly made and flavored. The gravy was watery, not thick. It had vegetables in it that aren't normally associated with this dish like potatoes and green beans. It really had no seasoning. Bland. The refried beans looked like a brown soup. The rice was alright, but again, no flavor. Service was so bad that I had to go to the bar to get the attention of the wait staff which were hiding in the kitchen area.

    Came in for a business trip. Very spacious restaurant. Parking is not a problem. The food was delicious!! Very flavorful and they give you a lot for an affordable price!! Service it self was great. Server is friendly and they serve you well.. definitely will come back and I highly recommend this Salvadorian restaurant!!!!!! P.S I think they do karaoke too!!! Fun things to do during the weekend with friends!!! (I came in early morning!)

    Not the worst food but high prices and slow slow slow service. Very small portions. A decent chef but they're a rip-off. I left-0- tip and I apologized for that. But it was really bad. Too bad because someone can cook. ​

    Some friends recommend this restaurant to me, and I went today looking for pupusas, but for my surprise, they even have quesadilla and miloha sweet Salvadorean bread, so so good. We ended up ordering a Pan con pollo and a breakfast. This restaurant food is 10 out of 10 points as well the service. Everything was delicious. I will recommend this place 100% Unos amigos me recomiendaron este restaurante y hoy fui a buscar pupusas, pero para mi sorpresa, hasta tienen quesadilla y pan dulce salvadoreño ( miloja ) muy rico y Terminamos ordenando un Pan con pollo,un desayuno, Agua chiles y una Crema de Mariscos. La comida de este restaurante es 10 de 10, al igual que el servicio. Todo estuvo delicioso. Recomiendo este lugar 100%

    Jaltepeque is a hidden gem. This was one of my first times eating Salvadoran food and boy was I impressed. I ordered 2 pupusas and a tamale. The pork pupusa was my favorite, but I also had the one that came with cheese and the green flower that is local to the region (not sure what it's called). The tamale was also very good, however it was a little light on the filling to my liking. The waitress only spoke Spanish, but luckily my friend could order for us. After eating, I forgot my sunglasses on the table and had to drive back to get it. The waitress was so nice and had already taken them behind the counter to keep them safe. The portions were huge and for the price you can't go wrong!

    Chicharron con Frijol Pupusa. These are huge and delicious!

    The food is delicious. Appetizers are perfect for sharing and it is a great place for a party. We went for my father in laws birthday celebration. There was karaoke on Friday and we had a blast. Our server Jenny was amazing and very accommodating. The place is a bit small and there is limited parking but it is worth checking out.

    I'm Salvadorian. Let me make this clear, it is very difficult to find a great Salvadorian Restaurant. It looks like we finally found it. We were really not expecting it, but man the Pupusas 10/10. Horchata 10/10. Yuca con chicharron 10/10. The service was absolutely amazing. She was extremely tentative and fast, had a smile the whole time, unfortunately I forgot her name or if not i would put it on this review. We went on a Friday and they had DJ who was not only doing Karaoke, but was playing absolute hits. The vibe was a lot of fun. We even ended up singing a song. Honestly this place blew us away. We can't wait to bring our family and friends here. I just hope the quality never goes down, because if they stay consistent this place will become a big hit. Español: "Soy salvadoreño. Permíteme aclarar esto, es muy difícil encontrar un gran restaurante salvadoreño. Parece que finalmente lo encontramos. Realmente no lo esperábamos, pero las pupusas 10/10. Horchata 10/10. Yuca con chicharrón 10/10. El servicio fue absolutamente increíble. Fue extremadamente atenta y rápida, tenía una sonrisa todo el tiempo, lamentablemente olvidé su nombre, de lo contrario lo pondría en esta reseña. Fuimos un viernes y tenían un DJ que no solo hacía karaoke, sino que también ponía éxitos absolutos. El ambiente fue muy divertido. Incluso terminamos cantando una canción. Sinceramente, este lugar nos sorprendió. No podemos esperar para traer a nuestra familia y amigos aquí. Solo espero que la calidad no disminuya, porque si se mantienen consistentes, este lugar se convertirá en un gran éxito."

The vegan plate had black beans, white rice, plantains, and a side salad. The bandeja paisa had beans, a fried egg, chicharron, steak, rice, plantain, and chorizo. The meat was perfectly grilled but the chicharron was a little tough but still good. The vegan plate had much flavor -- the beans were tasty and the rice fresh. They were very generous with the plantains. The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were so fresh and delicious. The spinach empanada was a little tough - it was crispy but there was less spinach than I would have expected and the cheese in it wasn't really melted either. Overall the food was very fresh and delicious. Parking can be tricky bc their lot fits only 3 cars. We parked a couple blocks in the neighborhood. Front of the store parking also seems limited. Service was kind and efficient. Food came out in less than 5-10 minutes. Place is well decorated and has nice seemingly traditional decor inside.

There are some spots in the back, but I've found street parking easily both times I've gone. Inside, the restaurant is decorated with all sorts of nods to El Salvador, including a super iconic soccer jersey and even some Salvi beers. The workers were all friendly and accommodating. The food is GREAT!! The pupusas are good. Cortido is awesome. I really liked the pasteles, even though I've only had handmade before, so I was skeptical, but they were so good, I devoured way more than I meant to!! I really did mean to have leftovers from my order, but I only have one remaining pastele- they come with three to an order. I will continue ordering from here and hopefully I'll have a chance to eat at the restaurant next time! So good!
