It's a no-frills restaurant that makes some of the best latino food in detroit, and it is so worth the visit.

And tucked between the ordinary... a spot called El Amanecer. No frills. No neon gimmicks. Just steam rising from trays and the smell of something real. You walk up and it feels like somebody's abuela is in the back, running the whole operation with quiet authority. First up -- empanadas. The shrimp? Riquísimo. Straight up. One bite and it's that Ratatouille moment -- the world fades out, and suddenly you're somewhere warmer. Brighter. It's the best part of Puerto Rico tucked between two pieces of golden dough. Crispy outside, tender inside, seasoned like somebody actually cared. That's a 10 out of 10. No debate. The beef empanada? Juicy. Properly juicy. Little chunks of potato hiding in there like buried treasure. The kind of detail that tells you this isn't mass-produced -- this is made by hand. Balanced, comforting, confident. 9 out of 10. The chicken? Man... they made that with love. Moist, flavorful, no shortcuts. It doesn't try too hard -- it just delivers. A strong 8.8. Respectable. Solid. Then the chuleta frita. Fried pork chop, cooked all the way through -- no nonsense. Seasoned right. Crispy edges, tender inside. It's not flashy, it's dependable. 8.3 out of 10. It shows up and does its job. But the arroz con gandules? Outstanding. Perfect moisture -- not dry, not mushy. The rice carries the flavor like it's supposed to. Deep, savory, vibrant. This is the kind of rice that makes you pause mid-conversation. 9.5 out of 10. Easy. Places like this -- they don't scream for attention. They don't need to. They just sit there in neighborhoods like Ecorse, quietly feeding people food that tastes like home. And sometimes, that's the whole point.

They paying thousands each month to these Foodies for Fake Reviews and Photos. We came from Cleveland to Detroit for a concert and wanted to take the opportunity for my partner to try authentic Colombian food for the first time. For that reason, the disappointment was all the greater. We ordered three empanadas, two buñuelos, and two hot dogs. Unfortunately, the food fell far short of our expectations. The empanadas had a thick, raw dough; the buñuelos were undercooked, heavy, and tasteless; and the hot dogs were not only disappointing compared to the pictures, but also in taste, which was nothing like what one would expect. However, the most unpleasant part of the whole experience wasn't just the food, but the way our dissatisfaction was handled. We were told to call the owner, but instead of receiving a professional response or at least a willingness to listen, we were met with a defensive, offensive, and completely inappropriate attitude. We were given the impression that we were the kind of customers who just want to eat and not pay, a disrespectful and inappropriate comment, especially considering that the food was practically untouched due to its poor quality. And to be perfectly clear: the problem isn't paying $87. The real problem, in any business, is having to pay for something that was inedible because it was badly prepared. Every customer expects to receive a quality product for their money, and that simply didn't happen here. Reading other reviews and, above all, the owner's responses to negative comments, it's clear that this isn't an isolated incident, but rather a consistent pattern of unprofessional and completely uncritical behavior. As tourists, we left with a very negative impression of the place. This restaurant doesn't represent the quality or flavor of Colombian food, nor does it reflect the warmth and respect that usually characterize our people, and it definitely doesn't offer acceptable customer service. A very disappointing experience in every way.

I don't particularly care for anything mango flavored, but this had just the right amount of mango, and wasn't overly sweet, either. As for our food, we ordered fried plantains, 2 pork tamales, and 3 pupusas (flounder, chicken, and pork). The fried plantains came with beans and sour cream. The plantains were enjoyable. The beans were mashed so finely, I couldn't help but use them as a dip for the plantains. The pork tamales came in banana leaves, as Salvadoran tamales typically do. The tamales weren't as firm as I wound've liked, and could've used more pork, as well. All 3 of the pupusas included cheese. Of the 3, the pork was my favorite. The pork also included cilantro, which added a flavor the other 2 pupusas lacked. My second favorite was the chicken, which also included squash. Lastly, the flounder was my least favorite, but was still worth trying. In a nutshell, Pupusería Y Restaurante Salvadoreño was worth checking, and somewhere I can see myself returning to.

It's a pretty small place, around nine tables, four of which were occupied when we got there for a weekend lunch. We were the only customers there who didn't speak Spanish but got by without a problem. We got: Pastelitos con Carne Molida​ ($14) - This dish consisted of 3 perfectly fried pastelitos, a cabbage salad/slaw, encurtido, and a small bowl of sopa de res. The sopa de res had a good beefy and vegetable flavor, with a slight warming spice and visible green pepper bits. The encurtido was a tart and slightly spicy mix of beet, carrot, jalapeno and onion pickles. For the cabbage salad, they gave each ingredient separately that you had to mix together; a small bowl of thinly sliced cabbage, a ton of queso that had a deep milky umami flavor, some diced tomato, cucumber and onion, and a dressing that was similar to a sweet thousand island. The pastelitos had a crunchy, very well fried exterior made of masa and were filled with ground beef and potato mixture. If you order these, eat them fast - the exterior starts to lose its crunch within 10-15 minutes! Carne Molida con Tajadas ($15) - This was the same filling used in the pastelitos on a bed of crisp plantain chips. It also came with the pickles and cabbage slaw. Everything was delicious, not much else to say. We will definitely be back to try the other Honduran specialties they have.

The rice was good, the black beans were a bit on the bland side and pretty firm in texture. We liked the 2 sauces and mild and a spicy sauce. The fried plantains were good, thicker slices than I've ever had before. I would like to come back and try some other items on the menu, pupusa sounds good to me.
