I came out here to try one of the "super pupusas" I'd seen somewhere on the internet…read more I ordered a super pupusa with chicken. The woman who took my order was really nice, but I don't think she should have been taking orders. Even with me being bilingual and her daughter helping translate, she had a hard time understanding what I wanted, even though I was reading it directly from their menu. The wait time was short. Everything was fresh. The pupusa dough, the veggies, the toppings-- I loved everything except the chicken, which tasted like it had been boiled or canned at some point. But that's my fault for ordering chicken from a Latino food cart, knowing they sometimes take these chicken shortcuts. The salsa and queso fresco were both bomb. 5 stars on both of those. The portion size was a decent value for the price. It was too much food for me to eat in just one sitting. If I came back again, I would order literally any meat other than chicken. I might even ask how it's cooked first, just to be sure. Overall I thought it was pretty good, and I would definitely come back again. (I just wouldn't get the chicken.)

It is also scary good. Hot, fresh tortilla chips, wild caught TODAY crab and shrimp, and fresh herbs. Everybody does ceviche a little differently but all i can say about Salvi is that they do it *right*. It goes without saying that their chicken is so good that finishing your plate is upsetting. Their sauce is incredible. Put your leftover sauce on your eggs. Put it on your baked potatoes. Try it as a crema with a little added lemon juice, drizzled over a salad. And the PUPUSAS. Peak comfort food. Somehow an incredible texture, like a warm embrace after struggling to navigate the world of gluten free restaurant flops. They absolutely deserve the price they charge, even if the price keeps us from patronizing them as often as we wish we could support them. let me be the one to say, as somebody with celiac, Salvi is an AMAZING restaurant to reserve for celebratory events. One day, i hope to pay Salvi to cater at a ceremony.

Craving pupusas?!? I was today and I was not disappointed!…read more Short order with a large menu, I only ordered two pupusas to go (one cheese/pork, one cheese/zucchini). While it seemed that several people tended to my pupusas on the grill, which seemed to be there forever - maybe due to my hunger, but they all did great. The cheese kept seeping out and they would flip the burnt cheese back on it. The wait was sooo worth it! Absolutely perfect! Still had plenty of cheese inside. I wish they gave more slaw, plenty of sauce for two. I imagine styles vary for slaw and sauce, these were good, but different from ones I have had in SF.

Service was a bit slow, but honestly, it was totally worth the wait. We also tried the quesabirrias and wow it was so cheesy, so delicious. Just ugh, I can't stop thinking about them.

The inside of the restaurant is simple, nothing fancy, but when the food is this good, that's all that matters. Can't wait to come back when I'm in Oregon.

However, I wish it was bigger considering they charged $16+. We very much enjoyed the bean and cheese pupusas that were fulfilling enough to have 1 for each person. We ordered 3 and the cabbage was enough for 2 people. I recommend ordering extra if your 3rd person wants some as well. The place appeared clean and the workers were kind. Despite the cashier accidentally charging more and the price of it being higher than other spots we have been to, I would say you pay for the quality of the food. Other items can be overcharged (i.e a small fountain drink was $7).

For only 5.95 each they were pretty large. The pupusas themselves were cheesy, satisfying, and flavorful and paired great with the tangy, fresh slaw on top. I appreciated how they provide a huge container of slaw and delicious hot sauces.

This is not the case of Sivar's.... I've been coming to this small hole in the wall, in a middle of a busy Central American mall, next to Super Mercado in Hillsboro and I am keeping it to my heart. There is this amazing strong woman who is an angel in the kitchen! I have been trying her pupusas since she opened her place.... amazingly delicious and honestly prepared, right there, in front of you. I have been drinking her Atol de Elote and I love it... no milk. Horchata is amazing, no milk, just rice cinnamon water sugar and morro fruit. I'm talking about Salvadoran horchata here, not the milk infused Mexican stuff. Please, don't get me wrong, the Mexican horchata is delicious but the milk, it kills me, especially the condensed milk. What else? Caldo de res, beef soup. Holly smokes! Do you want beef soup that you eat it with a spoon? No need to cut your beef with a knife, because the meat was so tender and deliciously blended. Her work team and her efforts are incredible; this is my secret spot when I want to eat like a human, no industrial food here!

I don't know what they do to make it so rich and creamy but it is heavenly. One time I ordered it and it was definitely burnt/overcooked but other than that, it has never missed. Onto the food, everything is delicious. I swear on my life the portions used to be a lot larger. I remember it got to the point where you felt sick if you ate your whole plate. I used to be able to eat a lot a lot and I'd always have leftovers from here, but I noticed that even though I can only eat 1/3 of what I used to, I could probably still finish my plate. I know it's likely inflation, but man, Portland has changed a lot.
