This place is AMAZING!!! All the food was delicious with lots of flavor. Fried plantains - soooooo good!!!! We shared a pupusa - spinach & cheese. Served with a cabbage/carrot "salsa" that really added wonderful flavor. Grilled chicken had wonderful seasoning and was moist. Small hole in the wall, but don't pass it up. You will enjoy all the delicious flavors. Waiter was kind and helpful with choices. Great recommendations. Would definitely dine here again, but we're from Texas... 1,000 miles from home. read more

First time ever eating authentic salvadorean cuisine and I wasnt disappointed. Thank You CaMiCha for the experience here. The food had its own taste and flavor. The decor of the plates were top notch. The atmosphere as a small restaurant was pretty private and cozy. I truly enjoyed myself there. Awesome Establishment, Awesome Cuisine! read more

The food is really good and the service was great too. Everyone was friendly and everything was good. The only problem is the heat inside. It feels like hell in there. They really need to fix the A/C because it's hard to enjoy your meal when it's that hot. read more

I have eaten here several times but can't get past their pupusas. They are delicious and different. Staff and service excellent. read more

I'll start off on what was good. If you love papusas this is your place. They were the best ones I've had in a while. Full of flavor. I do wish they had an in between for their sauce that goes on top. Their hot is way too hot for me, but their regular sauce could have a little kick. But still good. The rest of the meal I could live without. I ordered the the pollo con crème based on reviews and found it very bland. Cooked well but plain to me. And then the worst of it all was yucca and chicharon. They were right before being burnt. It was overcooked. We didn't finish it. I will only be ordered from here for the Papusas. read more

Cabanas Salvadorean Restaurant - Pollo con crema with handmade tortillas - Caribbean Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Food is amazing! Im just traveling around the area and I did not expect to find a very delicious Latin restaurant! Food delicious!

We have been on the search for some good pupusas in the area (sadly, not too many options in CSRA) and happened to stumble upon this restaurant in Aiken. Ordered the beans and cheese, pork and cheese, and pork/beans/cheese - all were fantastic! Tasted homemade and fresh. We always like to order yucca as a side and the yucca here is perfectly fried and crispy! Will definitely be coming back whenever we get pupusa cravings! read more

Came in for lunch from all the great reviews. I was greeted with a big smile and seated promptly. The menu has so many choices, it all sounded so good and had a hard time choosing. Another yelper recommended the pollo con crema and I ordered it. It came out hot and fresh and everything from the perfectly seasoned brands and rice to the tender juicy grilled seasoned chicken breast. I drooled, ate, drooled and ate... portions are big ... so Lunch the next day was gonna be amazing. And it truly was. Come check them out, you will not be disappointed!! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. It's authentic El Salvador food. Excellent food, everyone loves the pupusas but I am not a fan of corn tortillas so I get the flour tortillas veggie breakfast. It's so good, fresh and the same each time. The service is great, very friendly and fast. My husband and his friends go regularly for lunch, I go when I can! The ambiance feels like you are transported back to El Salvador! read more

Oh my oh my... I usually get my pupusa fix at the Latin Street festival, but due to COVID-19 all the festivals were canceled. Enter Cabañas Salvadorean Restaurant. I went in today and ordered two of every vegetarian pupusa on the menu. I took the order to go with two Jarritos. Oh my.. they were all delicious. My favorites were the queso y frijol and queso y espinaca. The salsa and curtido were also delicious...I could just snack on that anytime! I will definitely be stopping here often. So yum! So, I came back and got the mofongo with veggies. I had a craving... It was not on the menu but the owner and I talked it out and created it. The mofongo (smashed plantain) was a little different than what you get at many Puerto Rican places. It was more firm. However the flavors were on point! Perfectlt sautéed veggies. It was great! read more

Carne Asada was decent, it came only with tosdones, made different. $14.99 . Hubby order fish soup but it had talapia , 1 shrimp, small tiny crab leg. Not a fan of talapia, the stew was good, good flavor. It came with rice. Tortillas. One thing to remember is it's a New owner so what we went for they did not have the on line menu wrong. It's only Salvadoran food. Waiter was good not great our meal took very long more than 45 min. The extra side food took longer. Music is loud and lots of kids. Only American beer no craft. Won't go back there's nothing I really cared for and to long to eat they cook it fresh. I guess? read more

Went here with a friend for lunch some time back and, having never had Salvadorean food, was very pleasantly surprised. Delicious and great service. read more

This is a must try spot for breakfast. I've been consistently disappointed by the breakfast options in Aiken so far, but I loved the breakfast here. I had the Salvadoreno and my husband had the Katracho. Both meals were very flavorful and filling. I will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I like to try out lesser known places from time to time. We had passed Cabanas several times and thought we should try it. I looked it up on Yelp and found it had high rating, so we had to check it out. Looking at it from the outside isn't impress at first, but then a closer look revealed a nice out door eating area. The inside is pretty much set up to serve food. No frills, pretty pictures or travel posters. Seating and tables are solid but comfortable. Our server was a nice, we'll groomed young man. He was very patient with two retired gringos who needed a lot of explanations. The food was really good. I had the pollo con creme with Rice and refried beans. Everything was seasoned. Nothing bland on the plate. The creme sauce was seasoned but not hot. It had just a little kick at the end and there was plenty of it. My wife ordered shrimp and fried plantains. That was her first time for plantains. She loved it all. By the height of lunchtime, the place was full. Prices are very reasonable. I know we will be going back, and encourage you to try it if you haven't already. read more

Cabanas Salvadorean Restaurant - Pollo Con Creme with rice and beans. Everything was delicious. Try this one. - Caribbean Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

This is a hole-in-the-wall AUTHENTIC Salvadorian restaurant. I cannot explain the level of food quality but I will try. I husband and I ordered enough food for four people so that we could try a variety of things. We had the Pollo con crema, yucca and chicharon, pupusas, rice, and Platanos maduros. Everything was cooked just right whether it be the juicy chicken and chicharon or the sweet, crisp outer layer of the platanos with the sweet mushy center. For beverages, we got the Agua Fresca in piña and marañon (cashew apple). Both were great! Try the marañon! I will 100% return to and recommend this place! read more

Cabanas Salvadorean Restaurant - a table full of food - Caribbean Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS. CLOSEST TO THE REAL DEAL I PROMISE YOU! FOOD: The Salvadoreño breakfast dish is just mmmmph! So good. Transports me to a little diner in El Salvador. The cheese is also made fresh daily at the restaurant. Every piece of this dish was perfection. The Cuban sandwich is soooooo good. The meat is tender and juicy. Bread is nice and toasty. The pickle is the cherry on top. I feel like this sandwich is underrated but it's definitely a MUST TRY. DRINKS: I ordered the ensalada de fruta and the horchata drinks. Their drinks are made fresh at the restaurant. They also sell beer (including Pilsner imported from El Salvador), American soda, and Jarritos! SECRET MENU ALERT: empanadas puertorriqueñas (puerto rican). Sooooooo good. These were super crispy. Packed with shredded chicken. PRO TIP: If you want a quick on-the-go meal, try the Cuban sandwich. SERVICE: Their service was stellar and the reason why I'm putting a lot of effort into this review. The waiters are very attentive and nice, to the point where one waiter opened the door for me as I left. The owner is also very very nice. You'll find him also waiting on tables, checking in with customers, taking phone calls and greeting everyone. I was impressed by their drive and their work ethic. AMBIANCE: I loved the feel of this place. Felt very Latin American. Even though they haven't been open for more than a year, it's already such a cute Latin American restaurant. OVERALL: I am glad we have an AUTHENTIC Latin American restaurant with KILLER FOOD and KIND STAFF. Will be coming here again. read more

This food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and the family who owns it is hands down some of the nicest people I have ever met. We have known the owner for a very long time from a different restaurant in town and we are so thrilled that Benito has had the amazing opportunity to own and open his own restaurant. The food and the service is impeccable. We have eaten at a LOT of different restaurants and when we got take out from Cabanas for the very first time my husband said that he thinks that this is the best food we've ever eaten. Go see for yourself. It will be love at first bite! read more

Cabanas Salvadorean Restaurant - I had the grilled chicken plate . Pollo Asado Entree - Caribbean Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Very new restaurant to Aiken. I had the Pollo con Crema. Basically chicken with cheese, rice and beans. It was also served with 2 homemade tortillas. My husband had Mofungo Rellano. It was a fried mashed plantain dish with chicken added. His also had a sauce that complimented the plantains. The chicken dish was good, but refried beans extremely salty, as well as the cheese on the grilled chicken. Husband said his dish was good. Lunch with 2 drinks and tip was $28. Maybe a little more pricey than other places in town. The restaurant clean, everyone masked. A little more AC would have felt good. read more

3 years after moving here from AZ in 2020, my wife & I found Cabanas and have fell in love with everything we have tried. Our love for Salvadorian food started in Phoenix, AZ when found a couple that ran a food truck in the area. When moved out east we felt a loss of authentic Hispanic inspired cuisine. That was until we stumbled upon Cabanas and their food, service, and atmosphere does not disappoint. We have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered. In fact I'm ordering from them tonight. read more

A hidden gem!! I had never had papusas until today but they sounded like their sister, arepas, to which I've had and enjoyed many times! I think papusas are even better than arepas! Papusas are naturally gluten free since they're made with masa (corn) flour. I ordered the bean and cheese papusa and the zucchini and cheese. Both were delicious. Staff was friendly. If add a pic but I ate it all before I had a chance!! read more

We were wanting to try this food so we made a special trip to Aiken to eat here, we wanted Cuban Sandwiches and they are no longer on the menu; we were very disappointed in the food we ordered. My husband's fried chicken was so over fried it was more like chicken jerky than fried chicken. One piece out of three was inedible and the other two were barely edible. The pupusas were just okay, nothing special and the fried yucca was tasty but the portion was small for the price. The beans lacked flavor but were cooked properly. I wonder if the food was better before the new owners took over, otherwise I can't see how the reviews are accurate. read more

Cabanas Salvadorean Restaurant - Awesome thanks - Caribbean Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

The restaurant is located in/near several abandoned shops, so it is off-the-beaten path. The menu is varied as to types of red meat and chicken prepared in traditional Salvadorean methods. The atmosphere is very low key, read: no frills. We went so early in their business life that they had no liquor license. We are willing to try it again to see if there are some cocktails or beers to compliment the food. read more
