Got there around 12 and was easily sat. They have karaoke going which added a nice vibe to enjoy. Maybe it was our booth but it wasnt too comfortable, next time would opt for a table . Has a nice variety to try. Shared a pupusa Revulta and cheese was delicious and gooey. Also served salsa ,chips and beans w cheese to start while perusing the menu. I went with the camarones al mojo de ajo and also got the Cena de Bahia. I really enjoyed th e shrimp flavor . The rice was a little lumpy. Tortillas were great. The Cena had a alot to offer flavor wise. They do run a special monday -fri 4 pupusas -get 1 free pastelito. Would def return to try more and enjoy a cocktail .

Cafe Guanico solved my papusa & Salvadorian horchata craving…read more My go-to papusas are the loroco/cheese and zucchini/cheese. Both of the papusas I got were fresh, had a good amount cheese, and the veggies were delicious. They do include the salad and tomato sauce on the side. The horchata isn't just a regular rice and water drink. There's a bunch of seeds and toasted rice blended together so you get a real nutty and almost smoke flavour. This is my 2nd favorite kind of Horchata. I've never had chapulines and a family member wanted to try them so I got a side of those as well. They didn't taste like much, mostly salty, sour, crunchy and a toasted flavor. I only ate a few because I started having flashbacks to insect videos on YouTube which have permanently ruined my eyesight. I'll definitely come back when I'm in town.

Well, the soup alone is a meal and a hearty one. The broth was delicious and included large chunks of carrots, like two whole potatoes, two pieces of chicken (wasn't my fav part but oh well), and delicious rice on the side.... and two tortillas. The papusas were hot and delicious and extremely filling. The cabbage slaw topping and salsas and everything in general was clearly fresh. Whatever you order will definitely satisfy your appetite. And for anyone wondering about what a Tlaytudas is we didn't order the dish but it looked like an El Salvadoran pizza. Def a meal for two.

Hot and ready to be devoured with their salsa and slaw. Pork and cheese is my favorite, but honestly I haven't had any that I did not enjoy. Service is consistent, polite. I know some don't speak English at all or well enough to converse, but they always have went to get someone that does speak both English and Spanish so that's no problem here. Lobby seemed clean.

TAKE OUT ORDER I ordered takeout for lunch here Saturday…read more The place looked Lively and there was about 10 customers, some eating and some waiting for takeout orders. My order was platano frito with refried bean and sour cream. The platano with a little under cooked for my liking and not ripe enough for it to be sweet. That was a bummer. The refried red beans were really yummy, flavor and texture. The other part of my order was pupusas. I tried Revueltas (a mix of pork, beans, and cheese) Nepal y quest (cactus and cheese) and Jalapeño and cheese. The Revueltas were soft very warm and yummy. The Nopal one was cheesy and surprisingly delicious. The jalapeño was chopped finely but lacked flavor. If you know pupusas they are accompanied by Curtido (cabbage pickled slaw) and a red tomato sauce that is drizzled over them. The Curtido and salsa de tomaté at Pupuseria Villanueva are on the spicier side. Jalapeños are added to the Curtido and the tomato sauce is spicy. I recommend a taste test if your not unto spicy food. For takeout it was pretty good but I was not impressed. I will return to sit down and try other food items because I did enjoy the Nopal pupusas and the Curtido.

We had a fairly large group and nearly everyone loved their food. (One person was underwhelmed by the fish tacos, but I think that's because it was swordfish, and that's maybe a little unexpected in a fish taco. ) The mole sauces, I believe, are their specialty, and there are a number of choices, and all the ones we tried were very good. I will definitely keep them on my "to do" list next time I visit Salt Lake.
