    Curtido with tostadas
    N A.

    Delicious curtido and friendly staff. The decoration makes you believe you are in a little restaurant in El Salvador.

    Authentic & delicious food! Service was great! Such kind people helping us decide on what to order and then making sure everything was to our liking.

    If you are familiar with Salvadoran food then review is not for you, but if the is a new cuisine for you, maybe my review will I treat you. Great food and always friendly service. I Really love this restaurant for Salvadoran food. I am not of any Hispanic heritage, so fortunately their online menus (in added photos) do a great job of giving a basic translation of primary ingredient for each dish, and a quick online search can add some more details.. Though this is a newer cuisine type to me, I did recognize "some" similarities to part of the Cuban & Caribbean styles, including sides of plantains, yucca, a differing takes on horchatas, empanadas, and tamales, but all delicious in new styles to me. Not familiar with food from El Salvador? Well this a great place to get Pupusas (stuffed flatbread [think thick fresh tortillas]). So stop by and give it a try l. A new family favorite for lunch or dinner favorite now, dine in or take out. RECOMMENDATIONS: Any combo with 2 Pupusas and favorite sides is perfect, such as #2, #4, or #5, and if you are thinking Combo 4 or 5 (#5 with Revueltas Pupusas is my favorite) you better be hungry as you might find yourself with than you can eat, if you can really put a big meal away consider getting one extra Pupusas, and a side order of Casamiento; a side of both smooth fried beans & Salvadoran style rice (mild yellow rice), that can be mixed together (casamiento) , or not. For Pupusas if you have never had before I highly recommend starting with the following 3 types: * Revueltas (stuffed with finely shredded pork, smooth fried beans and cheese [queso Fresca?]). It is my personal favorite. * Queso con frijoles (stuffed with smooth fried beans & cheese [firm melted white cheese; queso fresca?] * Queso con loroco y frijole (cheese & loroco* [vine tips]). * loroco is a Central American vine thats tips are used in this case like a sautéed mild green vegetable with a very pleasant taste, very complimentary with the cheese or cheese and bean stuffed Pupusas. Curtidos is a must have side condiment too! (a slightly fermented cabbage salad I can only describe as a blend between fresh cole slaw and Kimchi), it is delicious as condiment to Pupusas and several other hot (as in physical temperature) entrees. It become a very craivable addition to the fresh off the grill Pupusas to me. My family really loves the tamales (mild chicken and potato), they are just kind of too bland or mild for my taste. I also love their empanadas de plantano (fried sweet plantain stuffed with a firm cream filling) as well as the [sweet/ripe & fried] plantano that comes with several of combinations. Salvadoran horchata is DIFFERENT than the Mexican style you are use too, not as 'milky' and stringer spicing in my opinion but a makes a wonderful became to have your meal. Another drink; ensalada if an extremely refreshing tropical Juice type drink with tropical and apple flavors that includes finely chopped apple and a little chopped cilantro (I think?) that is also very good, don't be afraid to try it if you like tropica fruit agua frescas or apple type flavors.

    Driving between Monterey and Los Angeles, I was recommended Las Comadres for authentic El Salvadorian food specializing in pupusas. There are options for a la carte or combos. I opted for Combo #1 consisting of 2 pupusas, plantains, and an El Salvadorian style tamale for about $11 to $12. The waitress suggested I try 1 pupusa with some type of "flower" and the other with meat/beans/cheese. I enjoyed both. The plantains were cooked just right. My favorite part of this combo was the El Salvadorian style tamale, fluffy and light. For beverages, I highly recommend the ensalada (tropical fruit juice). It was so refreshing, even on a cold winter night! The drink wasn't too sweet and there were bits of fruit within. Service was fantastic, complimentary chips & salsa, clean restrooms, and ample free street parking nearby. If I'm passing through Santa Maria again, I'll be sure to stop by Las Camadres! #34/2019

    Food is great and extremely affordable! We got 2 pupusas for about $8. Where else can you get a clean meal for $8?! The ingredients are simple and fresh. Service is great! They mainly speak Spanish, which I love. The restaurant is clean, open and pays homage to El Salvador. I definitely recommend coming to this hole in the wall in North Santa Maria

    #15 - very filling and super delish
    Eva L.

    Saturday night around closing, got a #15 to share (2 pupusas, 2 plantains, 2 potato things, a tamale, and a side of a coleslaw-like dish) Since I'm lactose, the boyf had the 2 (super filling) pupusas and I took the (deliciously moist) tamale, and split everything else (well I got 1.5 of everything else cause he was stuffed and also cause I wanted more cause everything tasted delish!!) The staff was friendly asking a few tables if it was their first time and overall striking up convs w patrons. The ambiance is v casual, w the Lorax playing in the bg when we were there, families and couples both watching, intrigued

    Pupusa de Chicarron (Feb. 2021) - ~$3.50? I put curtido and tomato sauce.
    Iliana R.

    I come here for their delicious pupusas de chicharrón(pork) and revueltas (pork, cheese, beans). They do not disappoint. These are worth the price. It can be a wait for your order, but definitely worth it. It comes with curtido(pickled cabbage and other ingredients) and homemade tomato sauce. I have come multiple times. They are definitely taking COVID-19 guidelines seriously here. Go support this local business.

    I devoured the camarones pinchos and la pop usa de frijol y queso.

    Food is amazing! Authentic, delicious, and service is al 100! En verdad una de las mejores comidas que e comido. Definitely driving an hour and a half for more.

    Live Salvadoran food? This is the place to come to. Authentic, fresh and delicious. Be prepared to wait though. Everything is individually made but very fresh. Clean and great service.

    Does anyone know if the chicharron is hard and crunchy because it is fried?

    It is perfect, crispy on the outside and soft and meaty on the inside.

    Junction brings elements of Spain to you with flavors and tapas that just hit the spot…read more The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, they allow dogs in the back and provide them with water bowls. The restaurant has romantic and has a very rustic environment. Service was amazing, Luke was absolutely amazing and great with suggestions, he was overall just an amazing person to host us. He made sure to be check on us as often as possible he could and brought out the food in great timing. The junction paella- was very delicious, the depth of flavor was amazing and the Spanish chorizo was delicious and the chicken was really good. The rice just had these amazing flavors and had some heat as well. The mushroom empanadas were just amazing, the dough was crisp and buttery, the mushroom mix was so very delicious and the sauce they gave was such a perfect complement to the dish. The patatas bravas was my favorite to be honest... it's such a simple dish but it's just so good. The sauces and crispy textures of the potato were just delicious. Me and my wife came here at the end of our roadtrip And it's about 4 hours from where we live lol... but we enjoyed it so Much we would make the trip just to eat here again.

    Off the beaten path and a great spot if you're trying to avoid the tourist crowds of the downtown…read moresquare, Junction is nestled in a train station compound. Unassuming from the outside, this hidden gem brings a blend of Latino cultures to the literal table. We've been here before and loved it, but they've since elevated their menu and added many more items. The wine list is overflowing with small-batch, boutique local wines--either Latino-owned or featuring Spanish varietals. I started with a glass of Victor Hugo Merlot, which was fantastic, but let me tell you about the Caelesta Cab/Mourvèdre. This sexxy red (shoutout to my girl Sexxy Red) was velvety, incredibly well-balanced, and perfectly complemented the paella fideuà. Junction serves fideo, or fideuà, sourced from Etto Pasta, and it's always nostalgic for me. This comforting yet stylish dish hugged me like it hadn't seen me in years. I teared up (yeah, I did...what about it?) and actually paused to consider: do I want to eat this whole dish in one sitting? Should I reconsider post-date-night plans because I might be too full? Nah--bring it on. The calories can be worked off later. The seafood paella fideuà got better with every bite. The shrimp, squid, rockfish, and mussels were cooked to perfection. I found myself clutching my linen napkin, wishing the dish would never end, hoping that my wife wouldn't notice that I'm about to make this paella my bitch, wishing I could endorse this paella to run for president and run more than two terms! Splooosh! The food and wine are the kind you'd tell your grandkids about around a campfire--meals that inspire the next generation of food lovers. But the staff were just as much the stars of the show. The space is on the smaller side but thoughtfully laid out. They were slammed--in the best way. It's the kind of place where you know whatever you order will be great, yet you worry service might slip with only two servers and no hostess. Both my wife and I have worked in service, so we appreciate a well-oiled machine--and I'm not talking about myself here. I'm talking about the legends who ran the floor that night. Too often, diners overlook the staff or don't fully understand the intensity of a Friday night rush. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen team, but may the odds forever be in favor of the front-of-house crew for flawlessly navigating the chaos. Luke Estrella was definitely getting his steps in, along with his teammate, but they always made time to pour wine, share insights, and connect with guests--all while smiling and putting out fires left and right. Bravo. 4 stars cause everyone could use room to grow.
