Yelp led us here for a pre-theater meal, and I couldn't have enjoyed my meal more. The owner greeted us like long lost friends despite being our first time dining here. The black beans, chips & salsa were a tasty start to the meal. All three plates were huge and came with rice, beans and salad. The grilled shrimp was perfectly cooked with Salvadorian seasoning and laid on top of the sweetest grilled onions ever. The Salvadorian grill was enough food to feed a small village. The star of the table was the steak cooked in tomatoes with the masa tortillas that are cooked to order. The restaurant felt like visiting friends and is now high on our list of places to visit again. Loved the music playing, too. read more

This place close by and have always seen traffic going in and out. I decided to try it it out. I ordered through phone and live let lady assisted. I ordered the Salvador parrillada, and some popusas mixtas. Everything was delicious, the beef and the shrimp on the parrillada were delicious. The popusas were very good as well. Overall, I recommend and will be doing back. read more

Tried the Jamaica drink that was too sweet I couldn't drink it so I ordered a coke. Hot coke. Food was ok until I got food poisoning. Spent 30$ just to throw up... please don't eat here!!!! First and last time. read more

I ordered a dozen for $21.00 on the uber app for my lunch. I am really disappointed in this restaurant because the reviews were great and so I trusted everything would've turned out good. I was very much wrong...the and flavors of the pupusas, salsa & curtido were non existent. No flavor in the chicharrón parts of the revuelta pupusas and the only thing that did have flavor only were the beans and cheese inside. Very disappointed in the pork nonexistent flavor. The salsa only tasted like tomato sauce with no flavor or salt. Just bland tomato sauce. The curtido was soaked in watered down vinegar and the curtido was just soggy and wet with no flavor. No salt again not even a single taste or oregano and I did see a little but of red paper flakes and no flavors were coming through at all. For authentic restaurants like these especially Hispanic restaurants I expect real flavors and this place is just not giving that at all ! I'm so disappointed in my people and this restaurant. You need to be better and raise those standards of authentic cuisine. No flavors. read more

I got their Plato Típico, the portions were a good size and it's a great option for sharing. The pupusas and cortido were fantastic and hands down the best part of the meal, savory and busting with flavor. The chicken tamal was pretty good but could've used a bit more chicken and there was a big chunk of potato in it and the corn tamal should be offered as a dessert with a sweet sauce. It was kind of dry and a little boring on it's own. Overall the food was still very good, the restaurant is super clean and the staff is great. read more

La comida estaba deliciosa y fresca. Bien hecho a quien la cocino porque como Salvadoreña, si estuve satisfecha con los sabores de mi país. Ordené el plato típico y estuve encantada no solo con el sabor de la comida, pero también con la cantidad que te dan. Definitivamente regresaré para disfrutar más del menú! The food was delicious and fresh. Good job to whomever cooked because as a Salvadoran, I was very satisfied with the rich flavors of my country/culture. I ordered the Tipical Plate and aside from enjoying the flavors, I also enjoyed the portion served. Definitely will be coming back to try more of their menu! read more

¡Me encantó nuestra experiencia con la cocina salvadoreña! Las pupusas mixtas fueron increíbles: sabrosas y llenas de la combinación perfecta de ingredientes. La mezcla de repollo y zanahoria encima fue lo mejor, añadiendo el toque perfecto de crujiente y acidez para complementar la riqueza de las pupusas. Nuestro camarero fue muy amable y atento, lo que hizo nuestra comida aún más placentera. ¡Recomiendo muchísimo este lugar a cualquiera que quiera probar sabores auténticos de El Salvador! Sin duda, volveremos. read more

It's so hard to find a great papusa place and I am so thankful I found this one. Every time I've ordered, the papusas are hot, fresh and freakin delicious. Coudnt recommend this place enough. read more

The chips and sauce is great, but the last time I went, the rice was so salty that I couldn't eat it. Their food is usually good, and that was my second visit. Customer service has improved a bit, but they still have issues with dirty utensils. They need to ensure that the utensils are completely clean. read more

This is by far my favorite Salvadoran restaurant. You can't get any more authentic than this. I came here just to have 3 pupusas and every bite was worth it. The pupusas comes with two salsas and the cabbage dish (I'm not sure what its name is in Spanish). But all that is delicious! The bean and cheese is by far my favorite but the pork and cheese and plain cheese are good as well. This restaurant is located in a busy shopping plaza so it may be easy to miss. There is plenty of parking and customer service is excellent. It is a small restuarant and I noticed a lot of people ordered take out which is okay but the restaurant it self is very clean and orderly. I will always come back here for delicious Salvadoran food!!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Without question the best pupusas I've ever had. With the slaw and the green sauce, it was perfectly balanced with the creamy cheese and the crispy pork. Also, don't sleep on the beans and salsa with chips. Super fast service and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend! read more

Damn good pupusas. Everything you would want with ordering a pupusa right here. The pork cheese and bean were the best ones! Thick, cheesy, with plenty of flavor. I should have asked for salsa rojo or verde but definitely next time. Although its just filler, I really enjoyed the black beans from here (especially the cheese added on top). The shirmp in garlic sauce is not bad by any means, but mostly not worth it due to the price point. They give you a GIANT box of rice with about 7 shrimp. The shrimp taste as expected, but theres nothing special about them. They arent charcoal grilled, coconut breaded, blackened, fried, or even seared. Just regular ol' shrimp for 13 bucks. I'll have to try more things from the menu but for now its definitely worth checking out. read more

My review is based off of what I have eaten so far. I got the passion fruit drink it was so refreshing. I actually got full off of the complimentary chips salsa and bean dip so by the time my sampler plate arrived I had no room for the puposa or chicken tamales but the sweet corn tamal and cream was delicious. The sweet plantain were caramelized with a little crispness around the sides and creamy on the inside very good. I have to come back later and give a proper review. read more

Amazing is all I have to say. Went in on a whim yesterday with one of my besties who is half El Salvadoran. We both agree this spot is amazing! We tried all the pupusas on the menu and got a chicken tamal as well. Salsa on point as was the pickled cabbage. We will be back for sure! read more

This "easy to miss" restaurant is located in a plaza that doesn't have much going on. The restaurant has two seating areas. One of the areas looks like it is used for events. The tables in this area had linens on it and the chairs were decorated. It looked like a baby shower was taking place in that room while I was there. I believe they also use this room as an overflow room for the main part of the restaurant. The customer service was great. Despite the language barrier between my party and some of the waiters, we were still accommodated and felt comfortable during our visit. The food was delicious and the portions are huge. There only con was lack of cleanliness. It wasn't dirty but it wasn't clean...you know what I mean. Otherwise, I would recommend this place. It was my first time trying El Salvadorian food and I'm officially a fan until further notice. read more

Came to Texas for a conference and saw good reviews for this restaurant so we tried it out. In short, one of the best home-y feeling and authentic meals my partner and I have ever had. We're pescatarian and had plenty of options. Everything was fantastic - papusas, plantains (holy), tamales, fried fish (so flavorful). Met an older physician who had been coming for years and thinks this is the most authentic place. The service was also super friendly, got mega topups for our horchata. Definitely 5 stars for delicious food and friendly service in an non-pretentious environment. Wish we could have this in Canada. read more

Piece of glass found inside pupusas. Luckily I was not hurt or that a child found it. It was the size of a nickel with three sharp ends. The pupusas themselves had very little filling and not enough salsa was given for 23 pupusas. read more

Ordered the Tipico Plate: cheese and bean pupusa with coleslaw on the side for topping, one chicken Tamal, one corn tamale, fried plantain and fried cassava (think non-potato fries). All washed down with a giant cup of horchata. Dang I'm full: all of it was delicious. Wait staff are friendly and helpful, if a bit slow. read more

This was my first time trying Salvadoran cuisine! I got the combination appetizer for lunch, which was a mix of all the most well-known Salvadoran dishes like pupusa, tamales, plantains, and fried yucca. I did not know what pupusas were and was excited to try it. It was like flat bread with pork, beans, and cheese stuffed inside. Though the pupusa was quite good, it came out cold. Out of everything on my plate, I liked the meat tamale the most as it was most tasty. The only other complaint I have is the slow service. It took forever for us to get our food and even longer to receive the check. However, we were part of a large group, so it's a bit understandable. Just keep this in mind if you ever come in a large group. read more

I ordered some pupusa and tamales for togo. I ordered all three different kinds of pupusa and the one with cheese and beans was my favorite. But I couldn't tell which one had beans, cheese and pork. And their tamale de pollo was huge. I thought they would be regular tamales size from mexican restaurant, but they were humongous and had potato in. I also ordered tamale with the sweet cream, it had very unique texture. It was more like dessert, I preferred the regular tamales. Lastly, their fresca is huge. I ordered passion fruit, but it tasted more like guava, but still good, not too sweet. Overall, they were good, specially their price ($1.99). read more

Amazing pupusas, I had the bean and cheese. They were cooked well and I could tell they made them fresh. The pickled cabbage (not sure what it's called) was plentiful and delicious. I had extra! Really good fried plantain for desert with sweet beans and a creamy desert cheese I think. Definitely authentic. Will be coming back! read more

Let me start by saying that I have never tried Salvadorian cuisine, so I can only write based off of this experience as a newbie. The cook really understood beef. It's been marinated and cooked at the perfect temperature to hold in it's juices. I've never known a skirt steak to taste so good! I got the steak and onions and the garlic shrimp. Both of the meats were cooked well, and the onions properly caramelized. This was all eaten from delivery, so I can't offer any review on the inside but the food certainly speaks for itself. read more

Salvadorian Cuisine - Salad Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Oh you guys....you guys.....you have to try this place. Seriously. There are 3 types of food I consider myself a connoisseur of. BBQ, Burgers, and Mexican food. That being said, I think Salvadorian food is kind of like a cross between Mexican food (no, not Tex-Mex....Mexican. You are in Texas, you should know the difference), and Caribbean/Puerto Rican/Cuban food. We started off with the combination appetizer, and it was huge. Fried yucca, fried plantains (the sweet kind, not like tostones), a tamale, a papusa, and a salad. I could have done with out the salad. The papusa was a bite of delishiousness inside basically a tortilla. How you stuff a tortilla, I don't know, but that is basically what it is. The yucca..yum. The fried plantians...oh, my, God. Could have been desert. The tamale...meh. The meat inside tasted spectacular, but I didn't care for the...I don't know, it would be corn masa in a mexican tamale....but this had a different texture. Almost gelatinous. I didn't care for it. But wait, there's more. We ordered the BBQ...or I believe it was called the parilldas dish. I can't remember, sue me. Forget the name...just get it. You like fajitas? I do. I would eat fajitas for every meal if I could. If these were served with flour tortillas, I would say they are the best fajitas I have ever had. but they only came with 3 corn tortillas, and I am glad, because I got to focus on the protein. Steak, chicken, s link of chorizo, grilled onions. BAM!! It is also served with a side of refried beans and rice...which we didn't even get to because there was SO MUCH FOOD!!! Seriously, I want to go back now, it was that good. This is a little hidden gem, and the people working there were so nice. Don't pass it up if you get the chance. read more

The pupusas are legit, and huge. Best tasting ones I've had in a long time. I like the "revuelta". It has everything (cheese, beans, pork), and you can taste each component. Dinner plates are huge and will leave plenty of ledtovers... unless you're like me and eat it all right then and there. The place is small and a little crowded. You can see right into the kitchen as everyone is making pupusas by hand. I will be back time and time again. read more

Hard to find in a local shopping center, but it was worth it. We each had the Plato Tipico which come with a potato/chicken tamale, a plain tamale, plantains, yuca, salad & a Papusa. We were used to that style of food but the papusa was new. The horchata was very good. The corridor slaw was great. Salsas great. The food is fresh, had to wait for our plates, but good food is not fast food. The ladies were kneading the masa right there. We were the only non Latino diners in a busy restaurant so you know it was good & authentic. Next time we'll get just 1 Plato and split an entree. The soups looked great, as did the other dishes the waiters were carrying. Only wish they had more English speaking staff who could help explain the menu. Go Saturday and see if Carlos is working the floor! read more

Pupusas were mid, i've definitely had better. They offered two different salsas which was good. They brought chips to the table without asking and they charge for it. Also the AC must of been broken it was HOT in there uncomfortably hot. I asked for my drink to be replaced because it was bitter and got charged for two. You can definitely find a better place with better food and prices. read more

I've been craving Pupusas for some time now after coming back to DFW. Found Salvadoran Cuisine in a local search being only a short 4 miles from home. Loved watching the ladies folding the dough and throwing them on the flat grill. Smells building and mouths watering. It was just me and so it was take out but boy way it great when I got home. Shared with my in-laws and now we plan to take the whole family here. Please keep it up; it was great all around. read more
