I drove by here and was so excited to see a pupusa shop! The store is small, only about 50 seats…read more It was very busy when I went there for a weekend night to get take out. I should have ordered ahead as it appeared many people did. None the less I am very happy with the wait! The service was great and they were very helpful with recommendations. I feel like pupusas are meant to be kept simple and they mean a lot to me. They are made to order and you can tell by the quality. The Revuelta has a lot of delicious fat and salt from the pork. It's a grounded pork. It combines really well with the beans and cheese. It has a very unique flavor profile. I can see why it's so popular. The Frijol and Queso was my absolute favorite. SO creamy!! I love the thickness of the maiz. And it wasn't too oily! My favorite part was the cabbage salad. It is slightly fermented. It kind of resembles a very very mild kimchi or sauerkraut. Super flavorful and bright. I thought the bag of red sauce would be spicy but it's actually quite sweet. It pairs perfectly with the pupusas. It is tomato based. I always feel very healthy after eating El Salvadoran food. I especially felt great after eating here. The quality and balance is all there.

Their huevos rancheros are another favorite of mine and are always satisfying. I've brought several friends and family members here over the years, and every one of them has enjoyed the food. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful pupusas, this is definitely the place to visit. Just keep in mind that the food is made fresh, so there can be a bit of a wait. In my opinion, it's absolutely worth it. The owners are also warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which makes the experience even better.

San Salvador has been one of my places to go for breakfast. Breakfast has usually been delicious…read more That being said , their tortillas usually aren't as good. Today , 11-9-25, I order 3 pupusas to go, 2 chicharrón con queso ( 99% queso , 1% chicharrón) that's if they even put chicharrón in it. It was horrible. It's like if I had order just queso. This normally happens with their pupusas. I wanted to see if they modified it for the better yet and nope. Pupusa wasn't bad, taste wise. 7/10. But that's if I would of had requested a cheese pupusa. The environment and service inside the restaurant is good. I enjoy that about the place. Just the pupusas and their tortillas throw me off. Try to avoid these dishes here and you'll have a better time.

The pupusas are HUGE, very cheesy and the ratio of filling to masa is perfect. The salsa and curtido could use a bit more salt, but I still find them to be very traditional and tasty. The pastelitos are full of juicy chicken, and I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered the plátanos plate and saw how full of plátanos it was. Overall this is definitely my new pupusa place; I'd like to continue trying more of my Salvi favorites and make my way through the menu! Will be back for sure.

A nice and welcoming restaurant with great takeout options. The service was great, the food took a bit- but it was 100% worth the wait. These are some filled pupusas with two different salsas. Amazing quality and will definitely be back to have more and try something new. Ps. Take out was packed so well our food was still nice and hot by the time we got home!

Nancy's is unassuming, a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I can't believe it took a long time to…read morevisit. I've dropped in a couple of times already and enjoyed my meals. They have a local feel when you walk inside. There is a little bit of a wait, and I think they make the food to order, so it's hot and fresh when you receive it. I recommend that if you plan to take out, call ahead to place your order to save time. They are known for their pupusas, which I got on my first visit. I was curious after reading some of the positive reviews. I ordered the revuelta and chicken with cheese. Both had great flavors and would consider getting them again. The flavorful, crispy empanadas were among my favorites. I got the carne (beef) and spinach with cheese empanadas and loved them. The perfectly fried shell and flavorful filling. Their Salvadoran tamales are prepared in the traditional style, with a flavorful filling and soft, moist masa, wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. I love Mexican-style tamales (especially homemade), so this was a new experience trying Salvadoran-style tamales. I think most people will order takeout, but there's a moderately sized dining area with tables. It has a local feel and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was kind and provided great service. The prices are fair for the quality of the food. I still can't believe I waited this long to visit Nancy's. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Note: There is a little charge for using credit cards, so cash would be better if you want to avoid the CC charge.

Gracious service and yummy food…read more We were very pleased with the tasty queso birria tacos, mojarra frita, revuelta pupusas, agua de piña (pineapple) & pepino limón (cucumber & lime juice). Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Their salsa was just the right amount heat with flavor. We enjoyed the music that enhanced the authentic food. We'll be back to try other items like campechana (shrimp cocktail), plátanos fritos (fried banana) & menudo.

The pickled veg + hot sauce that came with our pupusas were just *chef's kiss* so delish. My friend has been coming to El Chinaco for the past decade or so, and I can see why he keeps coming back. Also, I ordered some more pupusas to go as well as 4 carne asada tacos. These were not street tacos - these were giant tacos! Glad I found a yummy pupusas place close to home. Will def be back for more!

El Sabor de El Salvador is the definition of a hidden hole-in-the-wall, and I mean that in the best…read morepossible way. I only found this place because I specifically went looking for local Salvadoran restaurants. Even after we arrived, I had a moment where I wondered if we were in the right place because the sign above the restaurant appeared to belong to a previous business. Thankfully, we trusted the address and went inside because this ended up being one of those places you're genuinely excited to discover. The dining area is small and pretty sparse, and it seems like they do quite a bit of takeout business. Up front, though, there's also a small market with imported Salvadoran foods. I came with my wife and mother-in-law, who are both native Salvadorans, and seeing how impressed they were with the selection immediately had me excited about what we were going to eat. Service was incredibly friendly and it appeared to be a mother-and-son operation when we visited. Knowing some Spanish will definitely help here. I'll also give one heads-up: the food took a little while to come out. Come prepared to be patient because, at least for us, it was absolutely worth the wait. Now the important part: the food. I started with a Kolashampan, my first time trying this Salvadoran soda, and absolutely loved it. For my meal, I went with a sampler that came with a pupusa, plátanos, an empanada, fried yuca, and chicharrón. The entire plate was fantastic. The pupusa was delicious, the plátanos and empanada hit the spot, and the chicharrón was great, but the fried yuca was the absolute standout for me. I absolutely demolished the plate. What made the experience even better was hearing my wife and mother-in-law say the food tasted pretty authentic to what they know from El Salvador. I obviously can't make that comparison myself, but I can tell you that everything I ate was delicious. El Sabor de El Salvador is exactly the kind of restaurant I love finding: unassuming, easy to overlook, and serving food good enough that you immediately start telling other people about it. I've already been recommending this place nonstop, and I genuinely can't wait to come back and work my way through more of the menu. Don't let the outside fool you, and don't be scared off by a little wait. This is a hidden gem worth seeking out.

So the guy told me they were cook in the morning and I was there like 7:30 p.m so I told them that please give me another order or nuegados cause those taste fresh and he told me that the plantain where in the order so I have to pay them . I ask the guy where is a manager or owner and he act like didn't heard me . I told him I will pay them but I don't want them , then the guys was happy about it ? But this is sad to pay for a food that it tastes like old bananas or plantain. it was a really sad experience . They don't want to be responsible for a bad food they sale ? Is our money , our hard work , and if we desire to try something that you don't cook at home , it should be worth your money right ? I feel very disappointed and sad . I think I will never go back to that place ! My apologies to the owners of this place but the guys that works there don't care about making people feel happy about your food . They don't care about clients , they just want to make their hours and leave . I hope they make it better one day . We are Salvadorian and we should be more kind to people . We are human beings you know ! So sorry for saying all this but it has to be said . Thank you
