I would give them 3 1/2 stars, not quite 4. Those who read my reviews have probably noticed I'm…read morestingy with my startage (is that even a word?... Don't answer that!) This is a cramped little place full of Latin goodness. I came in to try those tacos my hubby had been raving about for days, and they didn't disappoint. I think I tried almost all of them, at $1.59 each how can you pass them up? The chorizo one was hands down my favorite! This is no restaurant by any means, they just have a section with a kitchen and a few tables where you can get some grub while you do your grocery shopping, or if you work in the area (lots of car shops and the such) you can have a tasty inexpensive lunch. It's out of the way for me, but I wanted to try it. Service of course isn't out of this world, as you pretty much order at the counter, but the ladies who run the kitchen are nice. You can't eat here and expect five star (or even four star) service, just take it for what it is, the quintessential hole on the wall. And I liked it! Me, who is in search of the best taco, was surprisingly pleased. Meanwhile, on the other side of the store, they have a plethora of Latin cuisine ingredients I haven't even heard of, all so cheap!! I spent quite a bit of time exploring. I bought meat at the butcher case and I loved the fact that you can get it marinated and the same stuff they use for the tacos in the kitchen. Makes my job easier when cooking. This too, may be a little bit of a turn off to some, as the store is old and may look a little worse for wear. If you aren't intimidated by this, come give them a try, if anything, it may open your eyes to different cultures and how they operate. This is a very Hispanic market. I shall be back!

In fact, some workers were sitting down to their feast for one! The facilities is clean, the ladies who work both in the open kitchen as well as the one who checked me out were delightful. I ordered my caldo de gallina (hen soup) which comes with complimentary white rice and a plain pupusa (Salvadoran-style handmade tortilla). They also include a bag with minced onions, cilantro and a slice of jalapeño. I hope I can return soon and peruse through all of the Latin American products they carry. It was a great first experience!

We were trying to find a restaurant on the Dine Out Lauderdale list when we came across this El Salvadoran hidden gem! The only ways to truly know where is it located is to know the area, or happen to see the tall Jenaritos sign by the sidewalk. We walked right past it. Even when we returned, we weren't certain that was it because it, as well as the other shared businesses next to it were labeled. The true reveal was the sign. The sign was the sign! Be prepared to be able to speak a minimum of Spanish when ordering. We were greeted warmly, and started our order. If you don't use it, you lose it. Our Spanish was good enough to complete the order. We apologized for it afterward, but were assured it was good. There is nothing fancy going on inside. Order and pickup at the counter. A large menu is posted in plain view behind it. There is enough seating for a few groups of people. And Latin food items available for purchase just like at a bodega. If you order pupusas, which we did, we must inform you that you NEVER eat a pupusa with a utensil! You must ALWAYS eat a pupusa by hand. It is an insult bordering on blasphemy to natives, if you eat one using a fork. https://www.instagram.com/panchitaspupuseria/reel/C4T54qevpEb/ https://www.instagram.com/panchitaspupuseria/p/C3-4tdTOE0K/ We used our hands, but still did it wrong. Those IG posts show how do it correctly. Our order didn't take long, and we were ecstatic with the taste! La Molienda was our go to for pupusas until it closed after 2020. Jenaritos not only replaced it in our hearts, but also in our stomachs! It was the first time we were able to eat pupusa with curtido. Usually, the curtido is overly crisp or too pickled. Jenaritos make curtido just right! Going back to the start, YELP really should consider that category. Small businesses make up over 80 percent of businesses in the country. And small, family-owned restaurant that occupy small or obscure spaces are often among the best. There are hits as well as misses. It's the hits we want to know about! Jenaritos is our new go to for El Salvadoran fare. Hope it will be yours too!

So excited to have found this place!…read more Driving around in the area we ran into Jenaritos. As a salvadoreña I'm always looking for places with authentic salvadorean food, we noticed a lot of people coming in and out of this place and figured it was a good spot to try. We visited today for breakfast and ordered pupusas. I was so happy to know they offer "rice" pupusas! I hadn't had rice pupusas in years!! They're usually sold only in one area of the country itself in El Salvador so I was surprised to find them here! What a treat! Absolutely delicious! I also tried their regular corn based pupusas and were excellent as well. This is no fancy place, but its authenticity makes it charming and welcoming. Being at Jenaritos brings me back to my time growing up in El Salvador and visiting "Pupuserias." I would totally recommend this place and will be coming back over and over again.

The baleada had mayo that squirted out when bitten into. I did like the fresh tortilla. The steak quesadilla was filled with quality meat. It came with a side of Mayo, rice and what should have been beans, but was only bean sauce. They were no beans in the ramekin. Not sure why it was served with Mayo. It didn't taste or look like Crema. The steak taco was excellent. The tortillas was thicker than usual but tasted fresh. The fried corn tamale is not what I'm used to. It had a crispy shell to it and was sweet. I'm used to more of a tamale texture with corn cornels. It too was served with Mayo. We parked on a side street a block away and walked. We weren't sure where their parking lot was located. Overall, it was good. but I prefer other Salvadoran restaurants better.
