Service was great. Food was even better. We all had Pescado Frito and the fish was delicious. Side of rice, refried beans, and yucca fries were bomb. Also had a pupusa that was good. Definitely our to go spot when craving fried fish read more

Pupuseria Y Restaurante Platano - Pescado Frito - Salvadoran Near Me - Berkeley, California

Terrible experience. The service was awful from start to finish. They seemed to be in a huge rush, yet still made us wait about 40 minutes for our order. To make matters worse, the bag was completely sealed, so we couldn't check the food until we got home. When we opened it, the food was completely tossed around, just like in the photo. If there were a rating lower than one star, I'd give it. This is by far the worst Hispanic restaurant I've been to in this area. I don't recommend it at all. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Pupuseria Y Restaurante Platano - Mar y Tierra - Salvadoran Near Me - Berkeley, California

22 Feb 2025. 3.7 stars. 12:56 pm Hello! Make sure you check their hours. Some days they are only open from 11am to 3pm. On our first 20 mile drive to visit, they blocked us at the inside of the unlocked front door at 3:12pm. Street parking can be difficult but a short drive\walk distance about a block away is a $3 an hour parking garage. The place looks clean and not too busy. We sit and our waitress Yanira M was perfect. Very nice, patient and attentive. We three shared two carne asada dinners with rice and refried red beans, two coffees, a coke and three pupusas. $101.36 before tip. The menu was confusing to us. First, the use of the menu words "red refried beans" confused us as refried beans have never been red in our lifetimes and these were pretty standard brown pinto bean looking and tasting. Maybe less confusion if they were called refried red beans. Then, we thought dinners came with pupusas. No. They came with two each thick tortillas (same as half pupusas with no filling as I could tell.) I enjoyed these thick homemade tortillas. The steak was not bad but I wish it had been served with its sizzle in tact. Salsa and coleslaw came as condiments though they might have been introduced with different names by Yanira. The coleslaw was a nice touch-served in a small jar with serving tongs. The salsa was tasting a bit like the V8 vegetable juice that you had as a kid or teen if you are a boomer. This meal could have really used some homemade spice sauce to add some kick to it. The main negatives today were the high music level at the back where we sat. That, and a busser man dragging some screeching and protesting chairs across the floor - to set up for a large party I believe. Real ear busters. The best part of the meal was the piping hot pupusas and our coffee. I would go back for those. read more

I have eaten Platanos food several times and each time it has been a delivery order. Today's delivery was delicious. There were vegan options, cheese and loroco, bean-cheese and pork, chicken and cheese...I tried 3 different ones and they were all great. The order came with curtido and salsa. I will order from them again, the food was such a hit, per usual! read more

Headline: Delicious Salvadoran with quality ingredients but quite pricey! Service is great, we were immediately greeted and seated. Ambiance was very Salvadoran, felt like we were sitting in a family members kitchen with the music & beautiful decor. The area itself is spacious! As for the food. We ordered a lunch special and appetizer to share: Lunch Special -- # 3 with two pupusas (revuelta con frijoles) Appetizer -- Yucca con chicharron I ate this meal at 11:27 AM. It is now 7:52 PM and we are both still SO full from this meal. The pupusas were great, my boyfriend, a Salvadoran-pupusa expert was disappointed that he couldn't taste the pork in the pupusa but we still finished our entire meal. The yucca and chicharron was fried to perfection, Yucca was crispy and not oily. Chicharron was juicy in the center, not overcooked. Although their prices are quite high, the meal was delicious and held us down for several hours. I'd recommend this place to others and would come back to try their other pupusas. read more

I will say that this food tastes best when you eat it right away! I tried eating my leftovers and it was not good at all (but this goes for a lot of restaurants). Service was amazing! No wait, very friendly hostess. I ordered a lot of food because I was so hungry and everything was so yummy. I ordered Yuca frita, casamiento, tamales de elote, and of course some pupusas. Everything was yummy but the casamiento was pretty dry. I would come back! read more

Riquísimo!!!! First time coming here and it was great!! I got 2 revuelta and it was amazing. This is the place to get such a comforting meal.

This place is great! Came on a Sunday night, and it was very empty, with a few take out orders coming in and maybe 3 or 4 tables including myself. Nice and clean with pictures on the wall. Food was very good -- like the pupusa and the chicken tamale. I wish the pupusa was more greasy, and the chicken was a bit too dry because it seemed like it was chicken breast. Plantains were great. That being said, I enjoyed it a lot, and definitely would come back if I lived nearby. Passion fruit drink (maracuyá) was good with some seeds in it to provide texture ... read more

Came here to try pupusas for the first time, and it definitely won't be my last! I love that they serve their lunch specials all day so that you're able to try a little bit of everything. Service was super friendly. Our waiter explained the proper way to eat a pupusa with their curtido and salsa. We asked for their house made spicy salsa as well, and I think that's a pro move. I ordered the lunch special that came with one pupusa, plantains, and a salad with avocado, beans, tomato, cheese, and tortilla strips. I got a pollo pupusa that was lightly griddled but perfectly warm and satisfying. The filling was honestly nothing special, but the crisped masa is craveable and their curtido slaw was the best accompaniment. I could eat the whole jar and take another home to-go. Everything else was solid but nothing crazy. read more

Platano has been my favorite restaurant for the last 10 years. It was the one restaurant I trusted to have the best pupusas! The prices were elevated but worth it considering the quality and portions you would get. My last couple of visits have been nothing but disappointing. The quality of the food has significantly decreased while the prices dramatically increased. Eating at platano is now a hit or a miss, sadly most of the times it has been a miss. The pupusas have been bare with very little filling and too much masa, the plantains are dry, stale and tough to eat. Additionally, half of the times we DoorDash we are missing something from our order. I'll give platano a chance and hope things get better but if things continue as they are I'll have to start looking for a new Pupuseria. read more

Las pupusas are very delicious. Friendly bilingual staff. Totally recommend it. Their orchata is also very authentic and delicious.

A fan favorite for Berkeley students in the mood for pupusas, I got the chance to meet with a friend for lunch here. We ordered their combo specials & I got 2 pupusas (1 pork & cheese, 1 loroco) a chicken tamale and casamiento (beans & rice). They brought out the jar of curtido and I was in heaven. Everything was a solid portion and so flavorful in each bite. I was especially surprised by the casamiento which I've never tasted before. The service is friendly and they have a lot of seating indoors. The ambience is pretty casual so you could go here for all occasions from family dinner to a date. They also do amazing catering so if you're looking for someone to prepare food for your event, Platano is always a hit! read more

Pupuseria Y Restaurante Platano - #4. Two Pupusas and Chicken Tamale Lunch Special - Salvadoran Near Me - Berkeley, California

The place was packed when we got there. We went their during lunchtime, so we tried their lunch specials #3, #4, and #9. Lunch special #3 comes with 2 pupusas, plantains, casamiento, and sour cream. Lunch special #4 comes with 2 pupusas, casamiento, and chicken tamale. Lunch special #9 comes with 2 pupusas and a small tropical salad. We also tried their horchata, atol de elote, fried yucca, and chicharrones. Pupusas were good but needed a little bit more flavor, so we all pretty much used up an entire bottle of the sauce they provided us. Plantains were cooked really well. Chicharrones was delicious, too. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

I'm not well-versed in Central American food by any stretch of the imagination, but even a simpleton like me can recognize the iconic pupusa. I've been meaning to try this dish for the longest time, and I finally had the pleasure to at Platano. I have an obsession for restaurants with less imposing interiors, because you'll often find the best food in such hole-in-the-wall establishments. I can say this phenomena still holds true after my visit to Platano. The lunch specials are a bit pricey (you'll spend around 20 bucks including tax and tip) but very worth it. The pupusas come out piping hot and made-to-order. And, if you're lucky, some of the cheese will seep out the sides, resulting in a crispy, salty skirt around your pupusa. I ordered the Revuelta (Crispy and Tender Fried Pork with Cheese) and the Queso con Loroco (Cheese and Salvadoran Flower). Though the Revuelta Pupusa is the most popular, the Queso con Loroco was my favorite. The flowers added a great, leafy contrast to the decadent cheese, while the other pupusa's pork was just pedestrian and a bit dry. The portions here are quite large; the side salads could almost serve as an entree even! The food was incredible overall, and our waiter was very attentive throughout our whole visit. Honestly, I don't understand Berkeley Social's foot traffic when the better food is just next door. read more

I enjoyed a late lunch/early dinner here today. We arrived at 5. There were about five to eight other tables occupied. The ambience was cheerful and it wasn't too loud. We were greeted immediately and permitted to choose our table, since it wasn't too crowded. My daughter had a lunch special that included two pupusas, a tamale and casamiento (rice and black beans cooked together). She chose the queso and the carne pupusas. The casamiento was a new dish for us; my daughter didn't particularly enjoy it, but she isn't fond of beans. I ordered a revuelita (cheese and pork) and a cheese with loroco pupusa. We shared some fried yucca and she had a sangria. The pupusas were really fresh and flavorful and the fried yucca was delicious...perfectly fried with a light and crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. I definitely recommend Platano if you're seeking good Salvadoran food in Berkeley! read more

I stumbled upon this place randomly. My dad is Salvadoran and although my mom has learned to cook all of his favorite Salvadoran meals, he also sometimes likes to eat out and find a really good pupuseria! (Place where they sell pupusas). One day we were in the area and got lucky enough to find Plátano! This was one of our favorite local Salvadoran spots for a very long time. We went back to eat there more than a few times and although we haven't visited the area recently, I've been wanting to go back just to eat here! Their food tastes so authentic and delicious. Their drinks are rich and flavorful as well and my favorite dessert was of course the empanadas de plátano! (Plantain empanada). I wish there was more Salvadoran restaurants available, I also wish I lived closer to plátano to satisfy some cravings here and there. If you're in the area give them a visit. Expect friendly and attentive service, a clean restaurant, and the best darn Salvadoran food you'll try in Berkeley! read more

100/10 stars. One of the best places I have ever eaten in my entire life. Their little jar of curtido that sits on your table I could literally eat three. Prices are reasonable and I love the location. Must try when visiting Berkeley read more

**3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars** I've always wanted to try this place because I've never had a pupusa before! We came on a Saturday night and were able to be seated immediately. Service is friendly and pretty quick. We had the Pastelitos ($9.25), which are corn masa stuffed with chicken, carrots, green beans, and potato. These were my favorite because they were fried so they had a crispy outside and fluffy, flavorful inside. I would definitely recommend these. Lunch specials are now served all day, so we got #4 ($16), which comes with 2 pupusas, casamiento (rice and beans), and a chicken tamale. For the pupusas, we got revuelta con frijoles and the queso y loroco. Both were good, but the flavors were light and we used a lot of the salsa at the table to eat it with. They also have Salvadoran horchata, which tastes different from regular horchata. This was one was pretty sweet, so I actually prefer the regular one, but it was still fun to try. Overall, solid place to get some pupusas if you're ever craving! read more

Was super yummy and filling! There's not too many other if any other El Salvadorian restaurants in Berkeley, so super fortunate to discover new cuisines with Platano in town :) My friend comes here a bunch, and recommended it! The restaurant is cute and family owned, but I feel like it's definitely hidden behind the other restaurants on the street. Don't miss out and visit Platano! Ordered the #6 lunch special because I love plantains, and got a balanced plate of all the foods I love! Everything was fresh and warm and melted in my mouth. Yummy and loved the side toppings they gave too. We also got the milk empanada which tasted like plantain bread pudding. Great casual spot and can't wait to come back read more

For a party of 5 loud women... we had a fantastic birthday lunch! Food was excellent. The pastelitos, plantains, and yucca were excellent starts. Then lots of pupusas all around ( moaning and groaning happened) except me. I chose caldo res (beef soup). The broth was clear and flavorful with carrots, plantain, yucca, and beef chunks. The tortillas were thick like pupusas. Service was quick, and special requests were handled quickly. We shall be back. And I'll order a pupusa. read more

If you haven't yet tried pupusas, Platano is a great place to do it! A pupusa is the national dish of El Salvador and consists of a semi thick cornmeal crust containing various fillings. Kinda like an closed quesadilla or a tamal that's been flattened and spread thin. My favorite filling is queso with loroco, the latter of which is an edible flower that adds a little bit of herby savoriness to the cheese. Other good fillings include: - revuelta (meaning mixed) with beans, cheese, and pork - revuelta with chicharron (shredded pork in this case, NOT fried pork rinds) and cheese - chicharron by itself YUM. And, if this is going to be your first time but you want to look like a pro, be sure to add the curtido (kinda like a fresh, tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa roja (red sauce) to the top of your pupusa. Typically I'll cover it in toppings and then cut it up into triangles with a knife and fork for easier consumption. One tends to be fairly filling, but two is also good! On my most recent visit, we got a few orders of pupusas, the ensalada tropical, the ensalada fruit drink, and beans with plaintains and sour cream. Fried plaintains with sour cream are commonly eaten in Central America. This is a SAVORY food, not a sweet one. The sour cream is not like American sour cream at all. It's creamier (not quite as thick) and has a sweeter, smoother flavor. Not sweet, but sweeter than the US version. The ensalada tropical was pretty good! Would definitely order again for a fiber-rich meal. If you've never had Salvadoran cuisine or are looking for a local place to consume it, try Platano! They've got a bunch of classic dishes and the friendliest staff. read more

This place is on University and a bit hidden, but I wanted to try Salvadoran food and was glad I came here! Everything on the menu is super affordable, and for two people we paid less than $40 after tax and tip even though we ordered a drink. The amount of food in the pictures looks small, but it was honestly pretty filling! The pupusas came with fried plantains and sour cream. We ordered one with the Salvadoran flour and another with pork and black beans. Both were solid; the flower added an interesting flavor but honestly I liked it! The sour cream isn't the typical sour cream you would think of; it's more liquidy and has a yogurty taste. It's not bad but honestly the sour cream didn't add much for me. The paselitos were my favorite and I would definitely recommend trying them if you come here. The outside is not too soft or too crunchy, and the inside has a delicious mix of potato, vegetables, and chicken. The sangaria I honestly didn't like that much, but maybe that's because I'm not much of a red wine person. I don't regret trying it though. Overall glad I discovered this spot and would recommend you give it a try! read more

Platano introduced me to pupusas! This place is great, and their lunch specials (which are offered all day) are an amazing deal. I got two pupusas and a small avocado salad, but trust me, the salad is NOT small! It could be a full, light meal on its own. I struggled a bit to place my order because there are so many options. I ultimately went with the pork and chicken pupusas, but I would've sampled each one if I could. There are 10 pupusa options as of December 2022, and each one costs $4.25. Separately, I've had catered Platano and it was also delicious. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying one of the dinner options. read more

Cozy and authentic, makes you feel right at home This was my first time trying Salvadorian food and it was so delicious! I got the Lunch Special #2 which they offer all day for $17.25. While it's on the pricer end, it's very filling and tastes fresh. The avocado salad was enough to be a whole meal and it was dressed in a light but flavorful dressing. Paired with the pupusa, which was pretty heavy, it was a very well balanced meal. I enjoyed alternating between the crunchy salad and the melty pupusa. The ambiance of the place is great, it is very peaceful considering it is right in downtown. Would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back! read more

Platano is a super cute local Salvadoran business in downtown Berkeley. After my friend couldn't stop telling me about how good the food was, I decided that we had to go. There are so many options on the menu, and the inside of the restaurant is so welcoming and homely. I decided to get the lunch special that came with two pupusas and plantains. I was taken away by how big the portion size was! The worker was super friendly, and the food was quickly delivered to us. Are the ingredients tasted so fresh, especially the plantains and beans. I had enough leftover for a second meal the next day. If you're looking to support a local business I'd highly recommend visiting Plantano. It's perfect for a small group, or a nice meal with family and friends. read more

Pupuseria Y Restaurante Platano - #1. Two Pupusas and Plantains Lunch Special - Salvadoran Near Me - Berkeley, California

Back in college, I've always enjoyed the catered food from Platano. This was actually the first time I've eaten at the restaurant, and it was a good experience given the good food, music, and vibe. I got the lunch special which came with one cheese and Salvadorean flower pupusa, a side of plantains, and a small tropical salad. The pupusa was super cheesy just like how I remembered it to be, and the plantains were slightly crispy on the sides and sweet without being overbearing. It was the first time I tried the tropical salad, and wow I really liked it. There were many pieces of mango and papaya and cashews, and the salad was topped with coconut shavings, which was very unique. read more

I mean, what can I say? Damn good pupusas! Lunch Special #1 is my go-to. I get the pork, beans, & cheese + veggie & cheese pupusas :) comes with beans, plantains, and sour cream (which I usually omit.). ASK FOR EXTRA CURTIDO - thank me later! I always enjoy extraaa curtido (and extra salsa!) The plantains are nicely caramelized and are soft to the touch, yet still manages to be firm enough to keep its' shape and is my fav thing ever! Mmm, I'm already thinking about those again. I love plantains whether they are sweet or salty. Street parking isn't too bad, you can easily find a spot a few blocks away, which you may want to do anyway since you will definitely be meeting your calorie intake here! Eat them as SOON as you can. Re-heating in a microwave or on a pan can be done, but I rather just eat them in the car right away lmao. That is my new go-to "dining out" experience for the era of the Coronavirus. Keep supporting your local businesses! read more

It's always easy to get a table at this delicious and dependable Salvadoran restaurant. We go whenever we need a pupusa fix. The all-day lunch specials are now $24.99 but still a good way to try a few things on the menu at once. I like the combo with one pupusa, the green salad with avocado, and perfectly ripe plantains with sour cream. Plenty of food, quality ingredients, efficient service. I also enjoy the cinnamon-y Salvadoran style horchata. I don't know why this place isn't busier! read more

Delicious, Authentic Food. Homey, Lively Ambiance. Friendly Staff. Quick Service. Generous Portions for Price. Free & Paid Parking. See Below for More Info: Delicious, Authentic Food: Food is pertinent in Salvadoran culture, almost all activities center around nutrients from meeting up with friends for pan con cafecito (bread and coffee) to chat to parents feeding and over feeding their kids partners. My honest expectations were that the restaurant would be more tailored for the college and upper-class crowd. However, I could not be more far from wrong. Plátano offers delicious, authentic Salvadoran cuisine, comparable to what you can get in the motherland of El Salvador. The curtido (cabbage with onion, vinegar, lime, salt) was tasty, a nice balance of acidity and crunch. The salsa was spicy and went nicely on top of the curtido for the pupusas. The pupusas were thin (you don't want thick masa), proportionately filled with our choices of pork and cheese. The plátanos were fried and crispy, pairing nicely with the fresh refried beans and cold, milky crema. There are not many Salvadoran restaurants in the United States I would recommend but this is one of them. I am already planning my next trip to Berkeley to dine here again. Homey, Lively Ambiance: From the moment I set foot inside Plátano, I felt at home. The ambiance was lively with people chatting and laughing, which if you have ever been with Salvadorans, is what it is like. The decor was festive and colorful. Latin music plays in the background. Friendly, Attentive Staff: Plátano staff are friendly. We were warmly greeted upon our arrival and departure. Additionally, staff came by to make sure our dining experience was going great from refilling water without having to ask to providing additional curtido for our pupusas. Quick Service: Plátano is a big restaurant and busy during the lunch rush. Yet, we were able to order and get our food in fifteen minutes. Generous Portions for Price: If you are at an authentic Salvadoran restaurant in the United States then you should be able to get a pupusa for a few dollars, now under $5 due to inflation. Pupusas here are $3.98. One pupusa can suffice a small appetite, two pupusas a medium one, and three pupusas a hearty appetite. However, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try beyond the national staple of pupusas, I highly recommend the lunch special ($15), which includes 2 pupusas and your choice of tamales, plantains, and tropical salads. The portions are generous, such that even hearty appetites will have leftovers. Free & Paid Parking: Parking is free in the residential neighborhood about two blocks from the restaurant. There are paid meters along University Avenue and a paid, parking garage near the Bart station. read more

I came to Platano when I was in town for the book festival happening in Berkeley. This place came recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. I got the lunch special with 2 pupusas, which came with a side of plantains, refried beans, and sour cream as well as hot sauce and cole slaw. I also got the Platano's Sangria to drink. The pupusas - I got one Revuelta (pork with cheese) and one Queso con Vegetales (vegetables with cheese). Both were incredibly tasty and were perfectly portioned. The hot sauce and cole slaw added on top of the pupusas complemented the dish very well. I also ate the refried beans and sour cream with every bite of the pupusas - it was like a delicious explosion in my mouth! 10/10. The plantains - These were nicely caramelized and were just sweet enough to qualify as dessert. It was an excellent way to end the meal. 10/10. Platano's Sangria - This drink was a mix of fruity, sweet, and tart. This combo made the drink quite tasty and was just strong enough to make sure I had a good time. 10/10 Overall Platano's was great. I would definitely come again. read more

Hello! Cheesy pupusa goodness! Since the students are still off on winter break, I decided to venture to Platano's to try their pupusas. I have had them once before for a catered event but nothing beats the hot cheesy goodness I was served...but I'm getting ahead of myself. Arrived around 12:15 pm and was promptly seated, given a menu and a glass of water. Decided to order the first lunch special of two pupusas and the plantain with beans and sour cream. It took about 10 minutes before I received my food, but I enjoyed every bite of the pupusas with the sauce and shredded cabbage condiments they gave me. I was so full that I barely had room for the plantains so I ended up eating one and taking the rest home. The plantains were sweet (but not overly) with a slight caramelized crunch. I normally don't have sour cream but the beans were very smooth and mixed well with the plantain. I was in and out by 12:45 with my to go container of my remaining plantain. I would definitely come here more often if it wasn't such a trek and the slightly longer wait time for food before walking back up to campus. Clean and the staff are extremely friendly and efficient.

Another one I forgot to write, for over ten years I have visited this spot in Berkeley. I have even eaten at the the sister restaurant in Lathrop, and Cafe in Tracy. All excellent, with variations in the menus per location. My favorite dinner is Pollo Asado, a grilled drumstick and thigh with casamenito and black beans. A hearty dinner that never misses. Great charring flavor. Get a side of plantains, and you can skip desssert. If you want something different, try the pupusas. My favorite is the pork, black beans and cheese. Two of these plus a chicken tamale and you have Lunch special #4. Comes with the pickled cabbage and tomato sauce. Lunch is served all day! If you order the Salvadorian Horchata, it has a nice chocolate flavor to it. The fresh fruit drink are also great. A lot to explore here, give this place a try. read more
