There are Salvadoran spots all over the city, but I'm semi-convinced that one of the best is right here in Stafford. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but upon entering the doors, one will find a spacious restaurant with a TV or two with plenty of seating. The service is prompt and kind. There is no pretension here, which is my favorite kind of vibe. Aside from the desayuno (breakfast) special, which comes with a tamal, plantains, chorizo, eggs, with cream and queso at $14, there is nothing on the breakfast menu that exceeds $10. I'm sure prices were friendlier before, but this place really does an excellent job in stretching the value for most food. The main dishes (plato fuertes) are all around $13, unless one wants the parrillada (meat platter) for two, which comes at a cool $30. After ordering a handful of different pupusas, a couple of tamales, and a couple of drinks, my bill was $14 flat. The pupusas themselves are excellent. They're wonderfully grilled with just the right amount of char and filling. The runaway winners are the mixtas, which are filled with beans and pork and are excellent with the accompanying slaw and spicy vinegar. While the corn tamale was a bit too dry for my taste, the addition of crema was huge. I thought the chicken tamal was significantly better, and was texturally an excellent antojito (#2). I would highly recommend folks give their pastelitos a shot, as well as tostadas and baleadas during breakfast. Pro tip: come for their happy hour, which is on Sundays between 4 PM and 7 PM where pupusas are $1.80 each. There is a max of 15 per person. ____________ (#1) The OG: https://www.yelp.com/biz/lazo-1-pupuseria-y-restaurante-houston (#2) A snack.

To be fair, they have quite a few reviews on Google so I will relay and support some of the things seen from there. Sazón Garífuna is a pit stop for many Houstonians that are part of the Garífuna community and others alike. The ladies taking orders cared for each order as if it was their own family eating it. I said I'd just get a 'little snack' and maybe have 'leftovers for tomorrow', but alas, not a bite remained after the night was done. The pastelitos come with 2 per order, some repollo (cabbage), pickled onions and diced veggies resembling pico de gallo. Then, you get two sauces: a tomato based sauce and a creamier slightly tart sauce. The filling options for the pastelitos are carne molida (ground beef), pollo (chicken), and pescado (fish) but select meats are only available on a given day. Today, they were out of the pollo but had the other two options. We opted for the carne molida. The fried outer shell of the pastelitos retained their crunch all the way home!! The creamy sauce paired so well with it and the pickled veggies cut the grease to even it out, preventing it from being overly heavy. The caracol and camarón (shrimp) dish however was super unique and definitely stole the show. The camarón was lightly fried with a taste of coconut and along with the caracol were seasoned with some... for lack of a better word, sazón! On the side, there were plantain chips which I always love. The cabbage and veggies were less in this dish but still had the creamy sauce on top. Finally, you get a side of rice and beans too. Not sure if it was intended to be like this but I also used some of the creamy sauce from my pastelitos for the meat for some extra cream. I would DEFINITELY come back to try the other dishes - it's a smaller menu but I would want to try it all! Note that they are cash only but also accept Zelle. Consider trying this amazing small business next time you are in the area! :)
