I tried being patient and polite, but then she yelled at me so all the customers could hear, not professional at all. After waiting almost an hour I finally got my food.

La peor experiencia que he tenido en un restaurante. Me tomaron la orden mal dos veces, tuve que…read moreesperar bastante tiempo y aun así nunca me trajeron lo que realmente pedí. Cuando finalmente me dieron algo "parecido", me dijeron que igual me lo iban a cobrar, así que me tocó comerlo aunque no era lo que quería. El lugar además huele mal y se siente sucio. Honestamente, no me sorprende que esté vacío. No lo recomiendo para nada. Ahorra tu dinero y evita este lugar. La comida no save bien. Worst experience I've had at a restaurant. They got my order wrong twice, I had to wait a long time, and I still never got what I actually ordered. When they finally brought something "close," they told me they were going to charge me anyway, so I had to eat it even though it wasn't what I wanted. The place also smells bad and feels dirty. Honestly, it makes sense why it's empty. Do not recommend at all. Save your money and go somewhere else. Food tastes bad.

They were not busy, and it was not very welcoming. I am hoping this was just an off day because service typically tends to be top tier at Salvadoran restaurants. The environment was a bit unsettling. Anyways, I ordered three pupusas one revuelta, one frijol y queso, and one queso y loroco. The food was amazing, it was very delicious, and the flavors were well integrated. Is it worth a 40 minute wait? Absolutely not. I'd recommend ordering ahead over the phone if your time is limited. The Jamaica was too sweet for my liking, it doesn't have the tart flavor I normally appreciate but if you are indifferent to sugar, I can see it being good. Give them a try, you may have a better experience than I did.

If you're craving authentic Salvadoran comfort food made with love -- this is the spot!…read more The pupusas were perfection -- handmade, and stuffed generously with rich, savory fillings. I got the beans one, soooo good! Crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside... chef's kiss. Paired with the fresh cabbage salad and salsa, every bite was full of flavor. The pan con pollo was just as amazing -- tender, well-seasoned chicken with fresh veggies and bread that soaked up all the goodness. So hearty and satisfying! And don't skip the atole -- warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It felt like a hug in a cup You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every dish. Portions are generous, prices are great, and the overall vibe is welcoming and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal away from home. 10/10 Highly recommend if you love flavorful, authentic Salvadoran food.

I am not sure if the waitress was having a bad day but she quite literally made it her life's objective to make my experience, my aunt experience and my daughters experience the most terrible experience ever.

Needless to say, we left, empty stomached, dumbfounded and incredibly upset. And from the look of other reviews, its a common occurrence.

The Classic Beef empanada was my favorite of the two. Appears like ground beef, and very juicy and flavorful. Has caramelized onions, diced veggies, potato and seasoning. The Beef Tinga empanada has more of a shredded beef consistency, with chipotles, onions, tomatoes, apple cider vinegar and seasonings. I was given the option for 1/2 french fries and 1/2 salad, and I'm glad I did because it was a generous amount of french fries for even half. The balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing surprised me with how delicious it is. Added a lot of flavor to the greens.

John, the owner, couldn't be nicer. You get the feeling he genuinely appreciates everyone who walks through the door. It's easy to see why so many of the customers seem like longtime regulars. They've been in business for 20+ years, and you understand why once you visit. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and feels fresh. Even during the COVID pandemic, they stayed busy with orders, which says a lot about how loyal their customers are and how good the food is. Great food, great people, and a local business worth supporting. Johnny Pacific is a Winnetka gem.
