La Casita Salvadoreña - pequeño lugar, SABOR GIGANTE…read more Si crees que el tamaño importa... este lugar viene a desmentirte con un plato en la mano. La Casita Salvadoreña, ubicada en Commercial Boulevard, es el clásico hole in the wall que parece discreto por fuera, pero por dentro te da una bofetada de sabor (con cariño ). Las porciones son absurdamente buenas. No sales lleno... sales derrotado. Y lo mejor: no solo sirven comida de El Salvador, sino que también hay sabores de Nicaragua, así que básicamente hice turismo gastronómico sin comprar boleto de avión. La comida sabe tan auténtica que por un momento pensé que mi celular iba a cambiar de roaming. Me sentí como si estuviera en otro país, sentado en una mesa humilde, comiendo comida casera hecha con amor y cero miedo a servirte bastante. El personal es tremendamente amable, súper servicial y con esa energía de "siéntate, come y disfruta, que aquí estás en casa". Nada de poses raras, nada fancy... solo buena vibra y mejor comida. Conclusión: Un lugar pequeño, con el sabor de un gigante, precios justos, porciones serias y una experiencia que te hace sonreír mientras te aflojas el cinturón. No te olvides de las Pupusas. Si no has ido, ve. Si ya fuiste, sabes que digo la verdad. Y si sales con hambre... hiciste algo mal.

I was debating in that or the nica breakfast. I got the nica breakfast which was ok with scrambled eggs, , fried cheese, sweet plantains, fried cheese, casamiento which is rice and beans and steak. The steak was a bit dry, the casamiento was a bit soggy. Overall ok not sure if I'll have it there again. I also had a pupusa mixta which wasn't too fresh. When my bill came the waitress already added her tip to my bill when she gave it to me so it came a bit pricey. Not sure if I'll come back here in a long time.

Instead of the usual cheese stuffed poblano pepper I opted for steak + cheese, which also had some veggies in it. Very tasty. El G is a charming place and the servers are nice and efficient. We arrived at 1 pm which we found out was the perfect time. It got very busy later. Can't wait to go back with others.

We were trying to find a restaurant on the Dine Out Lauderdale list when we came across this El Salvadoran hidden gem! The only ways to truly know where is it located is to know the area, or happen to see the tall Jenaritos sign by the sidewalk. We walked right past it. Even when we returned, we weren't certain that was it because it, as well as the other shared businesses next to it were labeled. The true reveal was the sign. The sign was the sign! Be prepared to be able to speak a minimum of Spanish when ordering. We were greeted warmly, and started our order. If you don't use it, you lose it. Our Spanish was good enough to complete the order. We apologized for it afterward, but were assured it was good. There is nothing fancy going on inside. Order and pickup at the counter. A large menu is posted in plain view behind it. There is enough seating for a few groups of people. And Latin food items available for purchase just like at a bodega. If you order pupusas, which we did, we must inform you that you NEVER eat a pupusa with a utensil! You must ALWAYS eat a pupusa by hand. It is an insult bordering on blasphemy to natives, if you eat one using a fork. https://www.instagram.com/panchitaspupuseria/reel/C4T54qevpEb/ https://www.instagram.com/panchitaspupuseria/p/C3-4tdTOE0K/ We used our hands, but still did it wrong. Those IG posts show how do it correctly. Our order didn't take long, and we were ecstatic with the taste! La Molienda was our go to for pupusas until it closed after 2020. Jenaritos not only replaced it in our hearts, but also in our stomachs! It was the first time we were able to eat pupusa with curtido. Usually, the curtido is overly crisp or too pickled. Jenaritos make curtido just right! Going back to the start, YELP really should consider that category. Small businesses make up over 80 percent of businesses in the country. And small, family-owned restaurant that occupy small or obscure spaces are often among the best. There are hits as well as misses. It's the hits we want to know about! Jenaritos is our new go to for El Salvadoran fare. Hope it will be yours too!

So excited to have found this place!…read more Driving around in the area we ran into Jenaritos. As a salvadoreña I'm always looking for places with authentic salvadorean food, we noticed a lot of people coming in and out of this place and figured it was a good spot to try. We visited today for breakfast and ordered pupusas. I was so happy to know they offer "rice" pupusas! I hadn't had rice pupusas in years!! They're usually sold only in one area of the country itself in El Salvador so I was surprised to find them here! What a treat! Absolutely delicious! I also tried their regular corn based pupusas and were excellent as well. This is no fancy place, but its authenticity makes it charming and welcoming. Being at Jenaritos brings me back to my time growing up in El Salvador and visiting "Pupuserias." I would totally recommend this place and will be coming back over and over again.

The baleada had mayo that squirted out when bitten into. I did like the fresh tortilla. The steak quesadilla was filled with quality meat. It came with a side of Mayo, rice and what should have been beans, but was only bean sauce. They were no beans in the ramekin. Not sure why it was served with Mayo. It didn't taste or look like Crema. The steak taco was excellent. The tortillas was thicker than usual but tasted fresh. The fried corn tamale is not what I'm used to. It had a crispy shell to it and was sweet. I'm used to more of a tamale texture with corn cornels. It too was served with Mayo. We parked on a side street a block away and walked. We weren't sure where their parking lot was located. Overall, it was good. but I prefer other Salvadoran restaurants better.

The bar area seating did not appeal to me- and we ordered at the bar, which is also something that doesn't appeal to me- but perhaps it would appeal to others.

I ordered the grilled steak quesadillas which came with crema, pico and chips and salsa. It was ready in no time and absolutely delicious. Definitely worth the $15. You can eat in their dining room but it was a beautiful day out so I enjoyed their spacious outdoor patio. Zipitos was a great find in Industry Alley.

Inside the restaurant is very spare and basic. You order and pay at the counter, and they bring your food to you at the table you've chosen. There's a lot of Spanish being spoken. We decided to share their sampler which was a choice of three tacos along with a side. We each chose one of for us alone and one to share. He got the lamb chorizo one. It was ground lamb with onion, mint, and cilantro. I got their grilled shrimp. It also had shredded cabbage, , guacamole, and cilantro. I chose to have the chipotle aioli on the side. I really liked my taco. To share, we went with the birria. This was very tender shredded beef, cheese, onion, and cilantro. It was a bit messy and drippy, but very good. I never even needed to dip it in the side "sauce" that it came with. The side was esquite salad. A pasta salad with corn and other veggies like small pieces of green and red peppers. There was more pasta than anything else. This was just okay. They had a number of Mexican sodas to drinks in various flavors, agua fresca, and horchata. They had a bar there also on the side of the room with "adult" beverages, but it didn't open until the evening. My favorite of the things we had? My shrimp taco. Prices were fairly reasonable. And food came out pretty fast considering that they were very busy.

The cuisine is Guatemalan, and I encourage everyone to try it because Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, etc. are all different cuisines and should all be experienced. I used to avoid such places because I was afraid that the staff wouldn't speak English. If that's what you think, I encourage you to go anyway because you will make it work and it will be worth the effort and you will have a new experience. The people here are very nice and the food is very good. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. And we tried new things we never had before. For example, one of their beverages is called nance, which is a sweet yellow cherry. They have tacos and pupusas, but I recommend you try the doblas--somewhere between a tacos dorados and a chalupa. Thank you Delicias Chapinas for allowing us to visit Guatemala without leaving Fort Lauderdale!

My last visit to my favorite pupuseria was not up to par, unfortunately. The plates were visibly…read moredamaged, with melted burned plastic visible, and no wrapper in between the food and the plate. The cheese on the pupusas was visibly not melted, despite dining in. The slaw also looked less than appealing- it seemed like a different combo than I am used to here- but also just looked old. On the upside, my son loved trying his first pupusa (without slaw). Service was wonderful, and I love supporting local businesses. I can see from my previous photos that the plates were ceramic. Maybe it was an off night?

After reading an updated review from Sr. CM West Palm, Melodie M, we just had to come here for…read morelunch to try their pupusas while in the area. In fact, I'd never had a pupusa when some time back I read another review from Melodie and decided to try them. We found a Pompano Beach restaurant near our other residence that we frequent with Salvadorean food and have now visited often. When we came in, I guess they could tell we were "gringos", so they switched servers to one with better English. But we usually can get by with our school Spanish okay. Most people dining here were Spanish speaking, but you should be comfortable if you don't know the language. My husband decided to have a pupusa with beef and cheese along with a salad. The salad came out first. It was a plate of lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers and some ranch dressing. His pupusa came with coleslaw. And they put a container of thin red sauce on the table for us to share. He said he thought the pupusa was good. He also got a passion fruit drink, medium size, to have with his meal. I had to try the "squash flower" one (per Melodie's review) so I ordered the loroco pupusa. I looked this up to see what these flower buds looked like. As mentioned online, this unique green vegetable was a bit crunchy and reminded me of a broccoli stalk or asparagus spear. But it is unique to El Salvador and used in Salvadorean cooking in many different ways. There was more cheese than loroco in the pupusa. It was fine. I'm glad I tried it. But I also ordered a "mixed" pupusa (revueltas) of pork, beans, and cheese and this one was the better tasting of the two, I thought. Of course, I put the slaw on top of the pupusa and sauce on top of that (as I'd learned from Melodie) and that really makes the whole experience in one delicious bite. I didn't realize how large the pupusas would be, so I'd also ordered a coctail de camarones. Not to be confused with an American shrimp cocktail, I'd had these when they've been made like shrimp ceviche or like the one I had here. The cooked shrimp was mixed in a remoulade dressing (mayo based) and topped with pico de gallo and avocado pieces. It was very good. It was served in a sundae glass. And came with a package of crackers, as well. Now that we've come here to try their pupusas, I'd also like to try one of their signature soups and other meal specials. Prices are quite reasonable. Please note: This isn't fast food as everything is cooked to order, so just be prepared if you're really hungry for a short wait.

I ordered pupusas "revueltas." For those who might not know, a pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from thick corn tortilla stuffed with a mixture of ingredients. "Revueltas" or "mixed/scrambled" which I ordered is a combo of beans, cheese and pork mixture which is blended and filled inside the pupusa. It's served with a type of cabbage salad and tomato sauce. So good. I also ordered a tamale which was delicious as well. This is my go-to place when I'm looking for Salvadoran. Try it!
