Parking available right beside the restaurant ( for customers only). single-person gender nuetral bathroom. Friend got the Horchata and liked it. They did say it was dairy free. We each got 1 pupusa and loved it. Served smoking hot. Great texture and flavor 11/10. We both Loved loved the curtido (cabbage slaw) on the side. Added a great spicy/salty/sour texture. HIGHLY recommend a couple of these. Friend got the Tacos $16, was able to try 3 different ones. Didn't like the grilled stead one. Only filling was meat and onion and Cilantro. I got the Pescado Frito - guess I missed the "tilapia whole" note as it was an entire FISH! I can see some people not liking this as it looked very much like a fish And I had to pull it apart and worry about bones. Was easier than I thought to get meat with no bones but for those who fear fish bones this is not a good one for you. 9.5/10 great experience, fish was cooked perfectly, but needed more tortillas to go with it! If given more tortillas if would have been a great dish to share with someone. Tried the "cheesecake bread" dessert they had pre-wrapped at the till. 6/10. Was interesteding but very dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. Overall very surprised with ow much I liked the food. Would love to come back!

First time dining at this restaurant. And it was really good! I've had many Papusas and I got to say , these ones here are pretty amazing! Freshly made!! And the Sopa de Pata was to die for! I will definitely be coming back here!

Horchata
Vilma R.

AUTHENTIC!!! I have been coming here for YEARS with my very good friend. We always get the pupusas revueltas (mix pupusas). This time we went, the prices had gone up, $4 per pupusa (mixed ones). However I still feel they are a good deal for the price. We always ask for the avocado sauce as well to add on. And the Horchata is a bit sweet but delicious! They were cleaning constantly while we were there which is very comforting as they have a lot of pick up orders. The service is friendly and they make everything fresh so it may take a bit longer than most places.

Tortilla soup.

My all time favorite dish to order here are the pupusas!! I love the cheese pupusas. You can also order pupusas with a combination of cheese, bean and pork inside. The interesting part is that it doesn't cost extra to have all three ingredients. The tortilla soup is so yummy!! The chicken broth is warm and comforting. The soup is served with shredded corn tortilla chips on top. I like the extra bit of crunch mixed with the pieces of chicken, avocado and feta cheese. Sooo good! Definitely come here for authentic Mexican and Salvadoran food! The food is great and the prices are reasonable. Usually the service is pretty quick here. They can get busy during peak hours, but the food is worth the wait!

fajitas

I went on the weekend and the food was amazing , the prices are so reasonable for what they give you and the horchata was the best part. Our server spoke Spanish to us and knew what was on all the dishes. The pupusas are amazing and a good size for $5 each, the tamales were made mexican style which i love. Los huevos rancheros were the best part the fajitas were my moms favourite , they were also so filling.

This place is family run, provides great service, is clean, and the price is right! I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally eat here! Best experience at an authentic Latin American restaurant so far in Edmonton!!! Get the pupusas!!! You can get any mix of pork, bean, and/or cheese. My personal favorites are pork&cheese and pork&cheese&beans but just cheese is a classic. I love that you get a whole jar of the cabbage slaw and a squeeze bottle of the red vinegar sauce. They'd give you more if you want too. I like it with their hot sauce. This hot sauce has some serious heat to it so use it sparingly unless you like the burn! It goes well with the cheese pupusa cuz the dairy offsets the heat. I also really like the tamales. The chicken is probably the most popular but there's a corn one that is sweet enough to be a dessert. Worth trying for sure. I'm a really big fan of Acajutla. The family that owns and manages the restaurant is friendly, accomodating, and makes authentic Latin cuisine. The service is timely and professional while warm and inviting. Acajutla is my new standard in Edmonton... Long may their reign!

Some of Edmonton's tastiest bites hail from random tiny, divey, ethnic abodes scattered all around (and outside of ) the inner city. Acajutla is a homey family-run restaurant offering delicious Latin cuisine. The tortilla chicken soup was delicious and comforting as if it gave me a hug. And the lengua tacos were very tender and well-seasoned however the ceviche was the best dish that I enjoyed. If you're looking for a nice and cozy place with unpretentious service and incredible food, Acajutla hits the spot.

Chicken flautas!
Nicole M.

Finally got to try this place out yesterday for lunch with my mom and we both loved it! After Latinos shut down we thought we should give the restaurant a try and I'm so glad we did. Around 2:00pm on a Friday we were the only ones there so it doesn't seem too busy. Theyre on skip the dishes I believe so I'm assuming most of their costumers are through that. The waitress was attentive and helped us out with choices. We started with chicken flautas which were a perfect appetizer size for two. Crispy, warm - just really quite good. I ended up ordering the beef soup and my mom ordered their tacos. The soup was awesome and I would definitely recommend it. I'm never one to get soup at a restaurant but it fills you up and tastes like something from home - it actually reminded me of a Croatian stew. Afterwards we tried the horchatas and their fried plantains. The horchatas were different than any others I've had - they were far less sweet and thick but really good regardless. The fried plantains, also different from some I've had was also just as good and had me scraping at anything left in the bowl. Overall good experience and great authentic salvadorian/mexican food!

Came here during vacation, outside of El Salvador, these pupusas are among the best I've had. The pupusas are gluten free, The green Salsa adds a nice quick of spice to the curtido and house salsa. The price is quite reasonable and the cute Salvadorian girl was extremely helpful. #imaddicted can't wait to be back and refresh my pallet
