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. Their horchata was super tasty too - smooth, sweet, and refreshing. They take credit/debit cards, which is always appreciated. 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.

There's 8 food carts outside, inside there are a cute little bar, a handcrafted churros, a Xocotl, mini market. On site parking for about 15 cars, then street parking at a very busy intersection so look at all directions before you walk or cross anywhere. I would definitely come back to check out the rest of the food carts when I get really hungry. For today's quick brunch while having out with a few friends, my orders were okay with the exception of fried sweet plantains. You just can't go wrong with fried sweet plantains, right? From the La Carreta Pura Vida, Costa Rican cart, I wanted the fish ceviche since I love and prefer the lime based for fish ceviche style. The cashier said they was out. She convinced me to get the Grilled Tilapia Fillet because it came with side salad, black bean, rice, and you guessed it, sweet fried plantains! I also got the watermelon with lemon. My total at this cart was $21.50. The tilapia was about 3-5 oz and salty with no flavor, salad and black been were typical, but the fried sweet plantains saved the day. The drink was okay, and not much taste of either watermelon or lemon. To got rid of the salty dish taste, I ordered plain churros mini for $5.00 from Don Bigote. They were supper busy! It took almost half an hour for my order. They do have a big menu. The churros were made fresh to order. Their sign shows handcrafted churros! I like the churros but didn't care for the artificial strawberries jelly sauce. Xocotl looked good with all the fresh fruits only so I ordered the Diablito for $7.99 since it supposed to have tamarind fruit which I love. I asked to make sure the fruit was actual tamarind and the staff said there's about 3 oz of tamarind. It was rather disappointed with slushy watery iced with some flavor tamarind.

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!

Upon entering the restaurant I really enjoyed the decor and atmosphere. Although it was small and busy it felt very comfortable and laid back. I ordered the Canchánchara cocktail and was very impressed with the taste of the drink. Along with that I ordered the Vaca Frita with plantanos. The shredded beef was so delicious and the salad was probably my favorite part of the dish. Combine the salad with the beef and it was the perfect combination. Unfortunately they were out of empanadas so next time I'm in the area I would love to give those a try!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating and we arrived around 9 pm and were sat down immediately even though the restaurant seemed busy. Luckily we were there during happy hour. Waitress was polite even though they were super busy! I would also say prices were average. We ordered a bacan de pollo, camarones al ajillo con setas, ropa vieja, chocolate, canchanchara, passion fruit limonade, flan and pudin. I absolutely loved the avocado salad in the camarones of ajillo. My boyfriend said the ropa vieja plate was solid. I wasn't the biggest fan of the bacan. I just feel the flavors weren't there compared to the other plates. The highlight of the night for me personally were chocolate drink and pudin. I cannot speak on the flan as I did not taste it. Pudin was absolutely yummy, not too sweet and the chantilly was sweet and creamy. The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious and I loved the mint twist in it. I don't know when we will be in Portland again but I can't wait to try their empanadas and their other desserts!

You could get something fancy and…read morealright that's a little small from Mestizo, ORRRR... you could get a huge four dollar empanada here. Get a few. I like the colombianita A LOT. It is basically a shepherds pie. But I also LOOVE their veggie empanadas. Their cheese empanada is as close as it gets to a GOOD grilled cheese here if you have celiac. (Please don't go to Harlowe for this.) And their arepas. They use this flower, right? Like an actual flower for flavor in some arepas and sauces. It's one of those IYKYK things, but please I'm begging you to find out. WORTH IT. These were available when I went, but they may no longer be due to being seasonal, but the guava empanada is a fantastic desert, and the Hawaiian empanada is so good it isn't fair having to choose between getting just one plus another flavor or getting two. Reliable hours, friendly server, and easy to get a hold of on the phone. (Plus there are usually dogs around when you sit nearby so that's always a fantastic experience)
