First day, I ordered the Arepa Reina Pepiada (avocado, mayo, and chicken-get it fried!) and cheese and chicken empanadas for about $20, including tip. The arepa was so delicious and filling that I couldn't even eat the empanadas until the next day. I was in a hotel and had to microwave them, but they were so good (even microwaved!!) that I knew I needed to go back and eat them fresh to experience their full glory. I did just that, and fresh out the fryer they were amazing! The green sauce in unreal. If I ever find myself back in Lynchburg again, I'm heading here right away!

Can't wait to keep going!

I'm going to try to make this short. My boyfriend and I met in college. When I first came to…read moreLynchburg he took me to "the best restaurant in town," La Carreta. Being Mexican myself and being raised in Northern Virginia (cultural hub) I was heavily disappointed. No shame in Mexican food chains but he said "the best." I was expecting authentic. In our almost three years of dating every time I visit I try to find an authentic Hispanic food restaurant in Lynchburg. Because we don't have many in our college town and it's nice to discover what all the small city of Lynchburg holds. This story is already getting long... I stumbled upon this gem on yelp while visiting him. He was at work and I asked his roommate if he ever had pupusas (Salvadorian dish) and the roommate said no but he was down to try it. Later that afternoon we made a point to go to this restaurant and pick up some pupusas. This is authentic Salvadorian food. I guarantee it will satisfy your South American food needs. If you've never tried Salvadorian food I encourage you to expand your palate. It is a little hole in the wall, but definitely worth it. I was surprised at how many country folks were there! They know what's good. P.S Try the rice. It's one of my favorites, I personally like it just as much as Mexican red rice. Also, there are three kinds of pupusas. I recommend the mixed pupusa (mesclada).

Between the people hacking away weeds with machetes outside in the crowded parking lot and the indoor space that had no AC and industrial strength fans blowing just to keep people from melting in the summer, and the takeout container they seemed to have burned some holes in, it was on the sketchy side. The food I took was a vegetarian platter. A corn tamale was tasty, but I kind of wished I'd just gotten pupusas and hopefully been able to get some variety. It's a cuisine worth trying, and there is another similarly named outlet in the area so perhaps I might see if that one is in better shape.

They are a masa dough cakes (cornmeal flour) that is mixed with water to make a corn masa mixture; thick griddle cake or flatbread They are usually stuffed with delicious things like refried beans, shredded pork, or cheese. Pupusas are traditionally served with curtido, a pickled cabbage slaw, and salsa roja, a tomato-based sauce. Pupuseria is the restaurant that specializes in making and selling pupusas. Just as Taqueria specializes in making and selling tacos. But also can have other items in the menu. Today a friend of mine and myself decided to go try them out for the first time at the Pupuseria Las Delicias in Roanoke, Virginia. This restaurant is housed in a white one storage building with the top painted light blue and white, the colors of the El Salvador flag. In front of the building they have a cozy cemetery outdoor dining area to use in good weather. As we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted by a young Salvadorian lady who took us to our table and handed us copies of their menu. It was short but with enough items for an opportunity to taste and enjoy Salvadorian food and some non-alcoholic drinks as well. We both ordered an Horchata cold drink and as our main course the Chicharron con Queso (Pork with Cheese) Pupusas. They were served 3 on a plate, accompanied by a jar of curtido mentioned earlier here. I liked the thick texture and the corn, cheese, and pork flavors. The curtido was the perfect side item. And what impressed me most was how filling they were. Since there were no dessert listed on the menu, I already had planned to go elsewhere for dessert. It was a nice first experience having this national dish from El Salvador and I recommend all those reading my review to visit this restaurant and try them out, as well as some of the other items on the menu. You will certainly come out satisfied.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to find a Latin American Restaurant and Market this good in…read morethis Star City of Roanoke, Virginia. Yet during the first half of Hispanic Heritage Month this year, I so happened to discover this hidden gem of a restaurant and Roanoke's Best Kept Secret! After being awarded the Triad Yelp Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And the Super Amanecer Restaurant in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. It's interesting what led me to this restaurant in the first place. I was talking with a Salvadorian young lady who's very kind and hardworking mother raised 7 children of her own in this country; and she told me that whenever she wants to treat her mother out to eat and asks her where she would like to go, her answer is always: "Al Super Amanecer." Located in Town Square Shopping Mall, a strip mall in Northwest Roanoke, Virginia, featuring a variety of shops, restaurants and other establishments, the Gran Amanecer II Restaurant and Market offers a diverse selection of Latin America comfort foods in a casual and relaxing environment. It has an ample parking lot, where many Hispanics gather in the late afternoon to socialize with their families and friends after work while enjoying some comfort food like pupusas or tamales, or tropical flavor ice-creams in or around their cars. Inside the Restaurant / Market is like another world. They are separated by an entryway and both the restaurant and market have the largest variety of Latin American food than any other place in Roanoke, Virginia. When I entered the restaurant, I was greatly impressed with its cleanliness, simple decor, cozy ambiance, and extensive menu. A friendly young lady greated me at the Host's station and after finding out that I spoke Spanish, asked me where I wanted to sit. I sat at a booth next to the window and then moved to a table because the sun was getting in my eyes. The menu had a great variety of Latin American dishes from places like Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina, and Honduras, among other places. To drink I ordered a Maracuya (Passion Fruit) drink. And as my main entrée I order their Parrillada. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its food. This dish included chicken, steak, shrimps, 2 chorizos, lime, avocado, roasted jalapeño, rice, refried beans, and pico de gallo. All the meats were quality and cooked to perfection in such a way that it brought out their flavor. For the Grand Finale of this exquisite meal I had Churros with a scoop of ice-cream. They were amazingly delicious though a bit overcooked, thus too crunchy, and lacked the sugar on top, but were decorated so amazingly well, with chocolate and caramel syrup and a cherry, that I enjoyed eating them. Afterwards I went to visit their Supermarket and it too was the greatest thing I've ever seen in Latin American Markets. It had hard to find product at your fingertips, and others you didn't even know they existed. In the back they even had their very own meat department with the meats in the display cases looking tender and fresh In conclusion I highly recommend this restaurant and market for their variety of quality food and products cooked extremely well, and served by friendly staff providing excellent customer service, and an extraordinary dining experience.

Point, providing no street visibility, and a rough parking lot! The inside mirrors the outside, worn but clean and with a decent amount of seating - booths and tables, functional if not comfortable!

I ordered the aforementioned Pupusas - 4 Cheese and Pork for $11.50 with Crudito included! These were good, not great, Pupusa - under-seasoned for my tastes (added a Rick Bayless (you must know who he is) measure of salt) and it was were I needed it to be - but still weak! Unfortunately the Crudito was very weak, barely fermented - a great side when done right, not the case here! This was not bad food, but there is better available, even as close as Los Primos, only several miles away! The combination of under-seasoning, lack of pork, and uneven grilling makes this more than a bit off the charts for best of show!
