I opted for the special which consist of a grilled chicken breast, carne asada, 2 big fantail shrimp, congri and steamed veggies ( my choice), a tortilla and a mix of tomatoes onions and peppers. Everything was beyond delicious. Service was fantastic. The outside doesn't look like much but inside is nice and roomy. And dare I say, the bathroom was spacious and very clean (sign of a good place imo). Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place. But first and foremost the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

The ambiance immediately stood out--warm, welcoming, and well put together without feeling overdone. The staff was excellent from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. They took the time to explain different options and made thoughtful recommendations, which we really appreciated. The food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. You can tell there's authenticity behind the dishes. The drinks were just as good and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, this was a great experience across the board--service, atmosphere, food, and drinks all on point. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving this place a try.

Each pupusa was a little over $5 - great value! I had frijol y queso + loroco and thoroughly enjoyed both. They were filling and delicious.

Also cute inside with assorted central American snacks and souvenirs. Recommend!

We drove by this place many times without stopping in because it does not look like a restaurant…read morefrom the outside. Now that we have tried it, we keep going back. The cuisine is Guatemalan, and I encourage everyone to try it because Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, etc. are all different cuisines and should all be experienced. I used to avoid such places because I was afraid that the staff wouldn't speak English. If that's what you think, I encourage you to go anyway because you will make it work and it will be worth the effort and you will have a new experience. The people here are very nice and the food is very good. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. And we tried new things we never had before. For example, one of their beverages is called nance, which is a sweet yellow cherry. They have tacos and pupusas, but I recommend you try the doblas--somewhere between a tacos dorados and a chalupa. Thank you Delicias Chapinas for allowing us to visit Guatemala without leaving Fort Lauderdale!

We went on a Sunday night for dinner service and were seated right away. There was an obnoxious…read morecustomer listening to a video on his phone at max volume, but thankfully he left shortly after we arrived. I did think it was weird none of the staff asked him to turn it down even though everyone was visibly annoyed by him. Another strange thing is the menu didn't include the side options so you had to ask for that. The tables are definitely in need of a refresh, with visible peeling on them. The food itself was fairly good, I especially liked the yuca frita and the churrasco. The service was below average, our waiter only came to our table to take the order and give us the check. 18% is automatically added to your bill as a "service charge", which I didn't think was appropriate considering the lack of actual service we received.

Great food for a great price! I discovered this El…read moreSalvadorian restaurant by accident. Starving after a day in the sun, we popped in to check it out. From the outside, the building looks a little run down but once inside you could never tell. We ordered the Super Antojitos Atlakat. This is a loaded plate with carne asada, refried beans, chicharrones, tostones, yuca, and cheese. Each item was filled with bold, comforting flavors with a touch of what felt like home cooking. My friends complimented the crispness of the pork belly. The meal was filling for 3 of us with left overs. Seems like they have a great lunch menu and the prices are very reasonable.

I grew up eating Salvadoran food so when I find a gem that reminds me of childhood, I scream about…read moreit from the rooftops (or Yelp). When I arrived, I was surprised they had more tables than I was expecting. There wasn't a wait, but it was full. They also have counter seating with a tv if you're into that. I ordered pupusas "revueltas." For those who might not know, a pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from thick corn tortilla stuffed with a mixture of ingredients. "Revueltas" or "mixed/scrambled" which I ordered is a combo of beans, cheese and pork mixture which is blended and filled inside the pupusa. It's served with a type of cabbage salad and tomato sauce. So good. I also ordered a tamale which was delicious as well. This is my go-to place when I'm looking for Salvadoran. Try it!

How can something this simple hit this hard?…read more At Pupusa Time, I'm genuinely at a loss for words--and that doesn't happen often. The space? No frills. The menu? Straightforward. But the food? Completely out of this world. Let's talk pupusas. At their core, it's just a corn tortilla stuffed with cheese. That's it. And yet somehow, it delivers more satisfaction than dishes ten times as complicated. Yes, they offer the classics--beans, chicharrón, the revuelta--but don't overthink it. The roasted garlic (ajo asado) pupusa is the move. Full stop. My first visit lined up with the Artemis mission, and honestly, that feels appropriate. The cheese pull stretches like it's trying to reach the moon, and I'm not convinced that cheese was made on this planet. It's rich, perfectly melted, and borderline absurd in the best way. And then there's the curtido--that bright, tangy slaw that cuts through everything with just enough funk and crunch to keep you grounded... or maybe not. Because paired with that pupusa, you're floating. There are very few handheld foods on Earth that can compete with this. Make the trip. Order the roasted garlic. Thank me when you land back on Earth.

This is a small, family-owned restaurant on 441 in Hollywood. I first tried pupusas while visiting…read moreBelize and really liked them, so I was happy to come across this place and give it a try. The restaurant is small but clean, and it wasn't very busy when I went. I ordered the chicken tacos, chicken tamales, and two different pupusas--steak and chicken. There was a little bit of a wait, but everything is made fresh to order, so that's understandable. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. I'd probably come back and try some other things on the menu to get a better idea of things

Here they serve Salvadoran food and if you've never tried it it's definitely worth going. I've been going for many years and anything I ever try on the menu, I absolutely love. It's definitely Hispanic comfort food. All the staff at the restaurant are always very nice to me whether it be for a sit down meal or just pick up. Rest assure that you're going to have a great meal just don't expect some fancy restaurant. This is a very local spot and I'm pretty sure most of the people that come here are regulars. Make sure to stop by and give this spot a try, you will not be disappointed.
