    Empanadas

    This is our first time to try Salvadorean cuisine, and I'm glad we picked this place. Everything tasted fresh, the salad, the shrimp, the meats, even the tortillas. We ordered Churrasco Salvadoreno and Mar Y Tierra for our main courses. The steaks were tender and delicious, and the shrimp was seasoned perfectly. The chicken was pretty standard, but the sausage was perfect. It reminds me a little of Lucban Longganiza, if you're familiar with that. And of course, the dessert was surprisingly good. It's called empanada, but it's probably not the empanadas you are thinking about right now. They're made of plantains, with milk cream inside. It's not very sweet. The plantains do the job. Of course you can dip them in fine sugar if you want a bit more sweetness. All in all, a welcome surprise, and would definitely recommend a stop if you're in the vicinity.

    Food is great. Absolutely great. Kisses to the chef. Staff is nice/inviting. Music is good. We attempted to watch World Series game 1 but unfortunately they did not have the channel. Otherwise 10/10.

    Amazing! This place gives a run for its money to SolFood! Ceviche was excellent, as was the seafood and steak.

    They make your pupusas fresh and over-sized within 10 minutes! I chose cheese, spinach, zucchini,…read moreand pork. Very tender and savory inside. The outside was grilled to perfection--well done... *not* undercooked like some pupuserias. Lively Latin music played at a nice volume where you can talk with your companions. Merengue and more. You give your order and are given a number. You pick your own seat. Signs are bilingual--mostly Latin patrons, which is my usual litmus test that usually means the food has authentic flavor, which I love and look for from ethnic dining experiences. It's very clean and looks freshly painted. I was here just before noon and there was a steady stream of patrons.

    Placed an order online for 8 pupusas, an order of nuegados and a pastelito de plátano. I got…read moreconfirmation saying my order would be ready at 12:56, I got there at 1:05. The lady at the front told me 5more minutes for my order, I waited 10mins and nothing. When I went to ask again she told me my order had just come through their system? Make that make sense! And on top of that there were other orders just sitting on the counter getting cold and the lady at the front cares more about peeling mangos with her back to the front door then handing out the orders to the customers that are waiting! The manager talk to me and was able to get me my order but guess what? They gave me the wrong order. We tried the pupusas we were given, they were dry and barely any filling inside. So not even the food is good. Bad customer service which is very sad because i drove from Santa Rosa to give this location a try. Will not be coming back.

    Whew! What a treat! If I was closer I'd be here A LOT. I've been going to Casa Manana for over 25…read moreyears and it still hits solid every time. I'm a creature of habit and usually get the mole plantain enchiladas but I veered off track since it's been so long and I'm glad we did. The chili with walnut sauce was light and deliciously packed with flavor. The potato flauta was exceptional! Service super friendly, it was quiet on a Sunday afternoon but that's what also made it so nice. This place is a gem and we are lucky to still have them as part of our community.

    My friends from Phoenix recommended Casa Manana in San Rafael and told me it was Salvadorean food…read more We just went to lunch there, Oh My God, it was sooo good. They have wonderful food quality and excellent plating (see pic), proportion of starch to meat, flavor of dressings and salsa, chips not greasy, salad that was not just lip service to a need for veggies - it was really really good. The beans were good too! I usually am iffy with the beans - could take them or leave them, but these were tasty! I ordered the Chile En Nogada Con Walnut Sauce. I had it with ground beef. The sauce was very good. Parking is easy, and it's a bit hidden - hard to see from the street. Service is wonderful, I felt welcome and it's clear that a lot of their customers are old-timers that have been coming for decades. They are going to be seeing a lot more of me! Highly recommended.

    Let me start by saying that I am not an expert in pupusas. This was only the second time I have…read moretried them. I found Pupuseria Blankita online, and we decided to give it a try. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it has plenty of parking. Once you walk in, you'll find a very clean and well-maintained dining area with about a dozen tables. You order your food, take a seat, and your meal is brought to your table when it's ready. I must warn you that, because the food is made to order, it might take a while to arrive at your table. The place is family-owned, and the owners are extremely nice and friendly. We ordered a few pupusas. I had two: one Spinach & cheese and one Carrot, Zucchini & cheese. They came with coleslaw and sauce that were just perfect. We also shared an order of sweet plantains. I ordered a Jamaica (hibiscus tea) to wash down the food. The service was great, and the food was high-quality. The pupusas were made to order, and you could tell everything was fresh. I liked the combination of vegetables and cheese in my two pupusas, but I must say that I am still not a pupusa fan! With that said, while I give Pupuseria Blankita a four-star rating for the quality of service, freshness of their food, and cleanliness of their restaurant, I would be happy to hear more from all you pupusa experts out there to educate me on what makes a perfect pupusa! I would surely appreciate learning more about all things pupusa!

    Came here by chance with a hunger inside me. Discovered a little gem! Looks iffy from the outside…read more It inside it clean, sunny, and smells warm and delicious. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. It's like a cute little burger shop but for pupusas. The vibes are great. Clearly a lot of regulars here, stones throw from Marin Civic Center. Side-note -- you can freely roam around inside the civic center which is one of the most mind-bendingly beautiful public buildings, a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece that inspired a George Lucas for Star Wars. But anyhow, yes, the smell, the happy chatter, the bright windows, lots of little tables, very clean, it just feels right. I don't know Blankita but I can tell she's great. I got three pupusas, cheese and bean, revueltas, and cheese and loroco made with rice flour instead of corn. All were excellent, 5-6 bucks a piece. There are not many places like this in Marin, that feel they could be in the Mission. It's definitely going to be a tempting exit on my way home from work.
