This is our favorite salvi restaurant in the east bay. We've been here multiple times. The food is…read moregood. The pupusas, chicharron con queso and loroco are my favorite. This time l also had their atol de elote. The ambiance, this holiday season there was Xmas decoration and table covers. Lots of seating even for large groups. I love the added booth seating. It does get busy. Service was great too. The waitress was attentive and smiley aside being busy.

Pan con pollo I ordered twice, first time was shocked that they threw everything into the bread and…read morethrew me a drumstick and thigh with the bone still!! But it did taste good after I had to shred the chicken by hand to enjoy the sandwich. Second time I called and asked them to shred it for me or give me chicken breast. But nope same thing. And it was super soggy this time and the taste was completely off

If you like garlic, you have to order the Papusa Ajo (garlic). It was made fresh and was so hot…read morethat I was torn between eating and t and burning my mouth. So good! I also had the Carne Guisada (beef stew) which reminded me of grandma's pot roast but with El Salvadoran flavors. The nice folks put up with my limited Spanish and I went away stuffed.

So listen. I did an online order at 6:08. Said it'll be ready by 6:35. Get here the place is…read morepacked! Waited in line for about 7 minutes to let them know I was there to pick up my order. They thought I called in. Told them it was an online order. The man proceeded to tell me they just got it. I said you did not. It was placed at 6:08. Then he said oh. Right then I got a text saying it should be ready for pick up. It was not. He took the order straight to the kitchen. It's currently 7:18 and I still have no food. Never again. What happened in reality they never checked the online queue for orders. How idk. The machine is right next to the phone and cash register.

Couldn't ask for anything better than a 24 hour taqueria after ending a late night at the arcade…read more We were looking for somewhere to satisfy our munchies before heading home and found this 24 hour hole in the wall. The menu was huge, there's definitely something for everyone. Hot dogs, pupusas, burritos, soup, and even ceviche. I also really loved the free chips and salsa bar! The loroco pupusa had a generous amount of loroco in it. Most places I've been to are pretty stingy with that part. The nacho fries were so big, could easily feed 3 people. The staff were super busy in the kitchen so they were fairly hands off other than taking your order. There's a pretty small seating area so if you want a table, be prepared to wait. Especially if it's busy!

This is one of those moments where Yelp completely steered me in the wrong direction…read more My dad is currently staying at the VA Hospital in Martinez and was craving some crispy shell tacos and a burrito. After searching around, we landed on Taqueria Los Gallos Express #2. Looking back, I wish I could go back in time and pick somewhere else. I ordered two burritos and two crispy tacos, and the total came out to a whopping $51. At that price, I figured the food had to be amazing. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered a carne asada burrito, and I swear they must have used beef jerky instead of carne asada because the meat was incredibly dry. Every bite felt overcooked and lacking flavor. My dad wasn't impressed with his crispy tacos either and said they just weren't very good. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but between the high price and disappointing food, this place was a huge miss for us. Martinez and the surrounding area continue to be a challenge when it comes to finding good Mexican food. Sadly, this is one meal I'd like a refund on--and one Yelp recommendation I won't be trusting again

The pupusas were the best I've had in the area. 9.5/10 The service was good considering it is New Year's Day and there was only one lady helping everyone. When we arrived only a couple of tables were seated, by the time we left a lot more people had arrived and a gentleman from the back came out to check on the tables. It's a great value, good food for great prices, we will definitely be coming back!

They're sizable, crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. You've got your choices of filling - pork, chicken, bean and cheese, or pork with bean and cheese. The pickled cabbage slaw and salsa make a great addition to the meal. They also make great tamales wrapped in banana leaves. They've got a stand on Telegraph during Oakland's First Friday Art Murmur. Check them out!

I love the whole menu. It has everything I need here! The pupusa hamburger was phenomenal!!!…read moreDefinitely one of the best burger I ever had in my life!! But I did felt like it was missing something.. which was the Curtido(pickled cabbages). I'm going to have to try it again with the curtido in the pupusa hamburger. I also had the Salvadorian Torta sandwich , super DELICIOUS flat, crispy, flavorful, meaty, cheesy. And the Birria is super duper delicious as well, Very crispy, juicy, meaty and cheesy and had a side of chili oil. Love it!!! Definitely going back for the PUPUSA HAMBURGER!
