    Carne Asada Plate
    Trevor H.

    I grubbed at Waffle Stop and Authentic Salvadorean Cafe for a professional lunch today, and our party of nine was seated immediately thanks to the restaurant's spacious, spotless dining area. Parking was a breeze, which is always a win during the lunch rush. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and the Carne Asada Plate, and both were excellent--the meat was thinly sliced with a flavorful marinade, and the homemade tortillas were thick, warm, and absolutely delicious. Their pico really stood out with its fun mix of cucumbers, radishes, onions, and tomatoes, adding a refreshing crunch to every bite. Our server kept drinks full and service smooth, even with a large group. Everyone at the table loved their entrées, and I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for hearty, flavorful food in a clean and welcoming setting. I'll definitely be back!

    Breakfast Burrito with Steak.
    ronald m.

    Just stopped into this evening to have breakfast for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I'd get the same olde boring breakfast but this was fantastic. The waiter/cashier was super friendly and bounced around helping multiple tables. I ordered the breakfast burrito with steak. It was so good with the sauce. I couldn't stop eating. I also had a Berry Berry waffle. The waffle was so moist with fresh fruit on top and whipped cream. Simply beautiful!!! I'm gonna make this my go to breakfast spot for when I'm in Utah.

    The ambience as soon as you step into the restaurant is amazing. Before we made it to the counter, we were greeted by the server, Leo. He handed us menus and gave us the option to sit wherever we would like. Brought us water as soon as we sat down, we placed our order and the food was out to the table quickly. Everything was fresh and flavorful especially the horchata!! I've never tasted horchata that was this fresh and good! Definitely an Authentic Salvadoran Restaurant. We're making this our new Saturday morning spot!

    Love supporting local small businesses! Love seeing how busy this place was. I've always seen this place but have never stopped into try it until today! Just be aware Yelp has not updated the business new location. I followed the Yelp address and it took me to the business old location which was north of the new location. The service was great! Seems to be family owned/serviced. The restaurant was very cleaned. The menu had lots of options, but the only meat options for the breakfast is just bacon and sausage, no turkey or vegetarian option. Their coffee was different than your ordinary coffee! Was very smooth and aromatic. There were 5 gals in our group and everything we ordered was great! Will definitely be returning!

    Receipt with ACTUAL prices, not the ones printed on the menu

    I'm quite conflicted on how to rate this review. On the one hand, the food was great and service was acceptable. On the other hand, I feel like I got duped. Let me explain. Our party of 4 got kids pancakes, french toast delight, cookie butter crepe, and huevos rancheros. All were very good. Cookie butter crepes are out of this world good. I got the huevos rancheros and it came with fresh, warm, house made tortillas. The bad. Prices on the menu were $5.99, $10.99, $10.99 and $9.99 respectively. When I went to check out, the bill seemed higher than expected ($45.82 when I was expecting high 30s). I asked to see a breakdown and noticed the prices charged were higher. I opted not to fight or question it there, but I should have. As an example, the french toast delight was supposed to be $10.99 as shown on the menu, but I was charged $13.51 (before tax). See receipt photo attached. All items were ordered were priced higher! Additionally, I was charged a $1.25 "checkout fee". What the heck is a checkout fee?! When we finished our meal I was excited to bring friends and family back to try it out, but now I feel slighted. The least they could do is note on the menu that prices have changed and to ask a server for current prices or something. Annoyed.

    First, I have to rave about the vibe in this place. Soooo warm and inviting. The employees are kind and they speak Spanish, which is great as well! I ordered 6 pupusas- pork and revueltas, some tamales de elote (corn tamales), platanos fritos dish, and a kids waffle meal to go. We went on a bit late, it was 7pm on a Friday night, they close at 8. Our order took a speedy 20 mins. I think you can also call in your order for pick up. When we left, the bags felt light, I know this sounds like an odd thing to say, but being an avid pupusa eater and Salvadoran, this stood out ime immediately. I know I'm not trippin when I say that because even my mom made the comment when I was simply thinking it! The curtido (coleslaw) is my favorite thing, and I would rate this one at a 5/10. It was good, but something a bit off about it. I'm guessing they don't pummel you with loads of it to take home because maybe most customers aren't into it?, I dunno but every time I get pupusas there is a hefty amt of curtido because cmon, whats a pupusa without its curtido. The red sauce though, PERFECTION. the pupusas themselves were ok. The masa didn't have the authentic taste, and there wasn't enough cheese, this was my family's consensus. They were edible, but nothing to write home about, ya know. They cost $3.75 each, they had gourmet ones as well I think those were $4.75, I would like to try a loroco I don't see why they are gourmet, but I will try it next time! Next is the plantains, I'm a sucker for plantains. They came w refried pinto beans and some type of sour cream- didn't taste quite Salvadoran, it was white and not yellow like Salvadoran so I'm not too sure. It was tasty nonetheless. It seems like the meal comes w ONE plantain bc there were about 4-5 slices, they were delicious. Moving on to the tamales de elote, I give them a solid 4/10 for effort. A bit dry, the masa fell apart, SALTY, and def not enough corn in it. I even ate the tamal w sour cream bc it was so salty.The size of it was great though! Last but certainly not least, the waffles. Perfect. They were tasty, fluffy, and portion size on point! I do want to mention that I wanted to try the atole de elote. It's a cold February night in Utah, this hot drink would go so well with the season we are in. They didn't have any. I asked if it's bc I came in too late, and they ran out, but she says they only make it if it's been in high demand. Otherwise, the drink goes to waste. It's totally understandable, but in that case maybe make it a seasonal drink that's not typically on the menu, or have it on sale for certain weeks/weekends. I was devastated that they don't carry it often. Overall, I liked the feel of this place and the employees. I've had better Salvadoran food, I wouldn't say this is authentic, but if you're not used to eating them all your life, you may not notice the difference. I will def give this place a try again and if I'm in the mood for waffles, I know just where to go!

    This is the papusas before garnishing!!
    Mick A.

    My wife and I have driven by this restaurant several times and finally tried it. This was our first time trying papusas, and we're hooked. The staff was very friendly and it was very clean inside. We will be frequenting here now. We will definitely add this place to the rotation!!!

    Chicken and cheese pupusa

    This place is GREAT. We loved pupusas when we lived in Salt Lake (shoutout to Cafe Guanaco!) and looked for pupusas in Davis County when we moved up here. It's a bit of a drive for us but totally doable. The pupusas are great, we got one with beans and cheese and one with chicken and cheese. The pupusas come with the delicious slaw and red sauce that we've had before. We also got an order of the fried yucca with chicharronè, which comes with more red sauce, slaw, and tomatoes and cucumber on top. Everything was delicious and we are excited to take our leftovers home with us. There were several other tables full at 2:30-3 on a Friday but it was hard to tell if any were having Salvadoran food or the waffles, crepes and breakfast that they also serve. I suspect the tables with kids were having the waffles and crepes, but you should definitely go for the pupusas! We will absolutely be back!

    Birria Tacos
    Jordan I.

    Great place for good authentic crepes and their chicken and waffle dish is really good. Their waffles are great, nice and fluffy. Crepe menu satisfies a sweet tooth if you have one! Also, it's not easy finding a diversity of foods in the area. Nice spot, A+ atmosphere, and service. Highly Recommended.

    Excellent food, so many choices we all ordered something different and everyone enjoyed it. They have breakfast all day along with Salvadoran specialties and sandwitches

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Emeri V.

    So we called ahead for pickup and ordered on August 1st, 2023. We ordered quite a few things for a 5 person family. I personally ordered 3 carne asada street tacos and I was pretty hopeful since usually the street tacos I've had in the past were super good! But I had no idea if it was actually living up to my expectations. But I'm so glad I ordered them because they were THE BEST TACOS IVE EVER TASTED! Super high quality taste, flavor, ingredients! It was just incredible! Totally recommend getting those carne asada street tacos! Also just an fyi we picked out food up at ate it at home so I wasn't able to experience the place and the environment but great food!

    Camille P.

    We love this local, small business. Although the wait time for food is often too long, the end result is home cooked food that is fresh. Their waffles are thick and the oftens for toppings are endless! The carne asada is also tasty and their breakfast options like bacon, eggs, hashbrowns are also tasty. Tip: go early! And call ahead because their hours are not consistent!

    Kathee C.

    We decided to give this place another try and are so glad we did!! My daughter was craving crepes and got the banana nutella one and LOVED it! I got the strawberry one, it was delicious. My husband got the Stop Fest Breakfast and it was really good. Very generous servings. The service was so good! Very friendly and attentive.

The longer: This place is right across the street from Syracuse High School, I stopped by because I was nearby and the good reviews seemed positive. The location is a little small, but the inside was pretty cute. Service was good but it was a little slow, I will attribute it to everything being fresh though, because it didn't have that flavor or lack thereof to being stale ingredients. As for the food itself, I was massively impressed. I got the burger with the egg on top(I forgot what it was called) and I was extremely satisfied, so much so that I'd probably put it in my top 3 for burger joints in Utah. The fries were great as well, and the fry sauce was as good as you could expect. The Oreo shake was good as well but i probably should've asked for a spoon because the chunks were too big for the straw, not a complaint but just letting you be aware of what may happen. All in all, I'd definitely come back and suggest others would as well. I couldn't quite give it a five star but it's close 4.75/5

I grew up in Milwaukee, so trust me when I know a good German place when i see one. And i see one here! I wanted to try something unique from the menu so I went with the grilled swordfish.

It was absolutely delicious and loaded in ingredients.
