She is the type of server any restaurant would be fortunate to have. I ordered the Ham & Cheese omelette with pancakes. I also ordered a Biscuit and Gravy. The Ham and Cheese Omelette was kind of flat and not fluffy at all for my tastes. The Pancakes were just pretty standard, nothing special at all. The Biscuit was good, but the gravy kind of failed for me if I am being honest.

Service was kind of awkward bc I didn't know what to do, they thought I was delivery person and not a walk in customer. However, I've been to them at their old location this was my first visit at their new location. It's really nice and clean. The pupusas were ok I just ordered the cheese and beans. I had plenty leftover so maybe just order one or two max. I would come back again when I'm in the mood for pupusa only as I didn't see that they offered any other foods. It's a small business so I always love supporting small businesses! If you haven't been here give it a try.

Also, be warned, if you order the fried tilapia expecting a nice filet, you'll be surprised. They serve the entire fish. OK, I get it, that's how it's done.

Also not a fan of waiting in line to order and then waiting in line, again, to pay.

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, delicious food that is really reasonably priced, especially if you get one of their daily specials. Where else can you get two pupusas of your choice, a side of rice and beans for 10 bucks! And this is a filling meal. Rice and beans are always fresh as are the pupusas. They even throw in chips and salsa. But beyond their Salvadoran cuisine they offer some killer steaks and unique killer cocktails, which is why I always sit at the bar.

My husband's plate was hot to the touch, mine was cold. I politely brought it to our server's attention, but the service wasn't very attentive, and the only resolution offered was a 10% discount on my entrée. Since I couldn't eat the meal, that didn't feel like an appropriate response. We understand that every restaurant can have an off day, but between the cold food, lackluster service, and the way the issue was handled, it was a disappointing experience. Sadly, our first visit will also be our last. We won't be back.

Music was loud enough to where I could hear my husband across the table but not anyone else around me. We could still hear the comforting sound of the fountain and fans that blew a cooling mist too! We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer and it came out in literally 60 seconds. Bread didn't taste like pretzels, but it was tasty and the sauces yummy. Like, I could order the bites and some beers and be perfectly content. But I was here for the fish n chips and I was so happy! I'd have preferred a full filet of fish, but the batter was so crispy and salty (I love salt!). Fries were okay and basic but not bad with malt vinegar (I can literally drink that stuff!). Husband got the elite brisket flatbread. It was huge and honestly we'll probably just split this next time we come. It was delicious and back of the throat spicy, but the toppings were outstanding and brisket was tender!! Service was soooo quick and easy and the waitress has the decency to look away as you tip. I was so impressed with this experience! I'm an introvert and hate trying to new things, but this may be my favorite spot now! We were there 7/11/26 at 12 pm.

We ordered the Boss Hog flatbread, chips and queso, and two margaritas the Skinny Bear on the rocks and the Caddy frozen margarita. We definitely enjoyed the happy hour discounts, which made the visit even better. We started with our drinks, and both margaritas were mixed very well. The Skinny Bear did seem a little stronger, but both had great flavor and were easy to enjoy. For appetizers, we ordered the chips and queso. The chips were thin, crispy, and had a nice dash of seasoning on them, but we do wish they had been served hot. The queso was warm, but not piping hot, and the texture was a little gritty, almost powder-like. We were expecting a creamier cheese, so it was good, but not our favorite part of the meal. Now, the star of the show was definitely the Boss Hog flatbread. It was cooked to perfection, baked really well, and had that nice crispy texture. The toppings were generous, and every bite had great flavor. I would absolutely order it again. The ambiance was also amazing. We loved being able to see the brewery, and the dim lighting set a cool, relaxed tone. The employees were nice, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. I would definitely come back to try more menu items, and I recommend Union Bear for a cute date night, happy hour, or a laid back evening with good drinks and food.

The strawberry puree had larger chunks of strawberry which was tasty but you need the larger boba straw for it. The kimchi fried rice was probably some of the best I've had. So flavorful, not too spicy and the bulgogi added the perfect sweetness. To add the bulgogi was +$6 which I thought was a little steep and I wasn't given a lot. But even for that high price tag, I'd order again. The breakfast hash had a very flavorful brown sauce that was addicting. But wouldn't order again. Service is minimal but good. And the girl helping us at the register was sweet and patient. There were enough tables and it was cute and relaxed inside. Would come again for that kimchi rice but I do feel like overall, a pretty expensive experience.

We started with the Guacamole de la Mesa, prepared fresh tableside, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and you could really taste the difference. Watching it being made right in front of us added a fun touch to the experience, and the flavor was spot-on; fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. For my entrée, I ordered the chimichanga with creamy jalapeño sauce, and it was phenomenal. The chimichanga was crispy on the outside while remaining flavorful and tender inside. The creamy jalapeño sauce was the star of the dish, adding just the right amount of richness and a subtle kick without overpowering the other flavors. Every bite was delicious. My girlfriend ordered the quesabirria tacos, and they were equally impressive. The tacos were packed with flavorful, tender meat and perfectly crisped tortillas loaded with melted cheese. The consommé on the side brought everything together and made each bite even more satisfying. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food came out promptly, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. It's clear that El Norte takes pride in both quality and presentation.
