Customer service was great. I am not a Hispanic speaker but they treated me well. The food was worth the wait. It was cheesy and the beans was seasoned well. The environment was clean and they offered a lot of other goods like pan dulce, fruits, beverages. It was beautiful with El Salvadoran pictures and paintings. The curtido was phenomenal. I enjoyed my pupusas!! read more

The tacos mixtos were delicious. I would have loved my pupusas to be fried a little more as I love crunch, however the flavor profiles were all there. The service was quick and friendly. I shall return. read more

El Salvador Restaurant - Pupusas revueltas - Seafood Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

El Salvador has been around awhile and right in my neighborhood so I thought some good central American cooking would be just the trick on a non cooking night. I called for delivery and here the problems began. Beyond some slight hiccups with language barrier, the guy on the phone takes my order and tallies up the amount to over $10 of what I thought it would be. I go back tally up everything on my end and call back. Again he says that's the amount, actually $0.25 more this time. So I ask what gives? I ordered off the website. He replies "oh the prices have increased on some of the things." He tries to go through what has gone up, along the way Naming things that aren't even on my order. I have to correct him and get that straightened out. My main issues with this is of course, update your website to reflect price increases, and 2 I could've canceled the order but I didn't over this, you could throw me a dessert or something for my troubles? The food comes after another hiccup from the driver being a bit confused and passing the building. I don't get a receipt because I wanted to review what exactly costed what. The delivery lady won't let me keep the copy she has. So there's that. *Exhale* so the food... It was alright. Not the best of an authentic level place like this. The pupusas were good and would consider again but they didn't live up to the hype I thought they would. The Lomo de cerdo asado (pork loin) was waaaaay overdone and all dried up. Rice and beans were fine though as were the salads Included with the entrees. Chicharrones was ok as was the yuca frita. Then there was this red sauce that was packaged in a coffee cup and tasted like that $0.88 store brand pasta sauce. Very watery. Not good. Overall I wasn't really impressed by the service and food. Maybe dining in is the way to go here. read more

Don't go here I called to place an order the lady hung up in my face, she was rude this was my first time trying to try their food and will never try it read more

We had lunch here today, a Saturday. There was an open table and during our meal, tables opened and filled in the relatively small space, but no one was waiting. The food was excellent. The complimentary chips and sauce was very good. We had an appetizer of plaintains with crema ("sour cream") and fried beans which was excellent and large. The plantains were sweet-ish and the beans were excellent. We had 4 different pupusas and all were very tasty, with the one filled with mozarella being relatively bland, as expected. We had chicken tacos (a plate of three) that were quite good-tasty and of a generous size. We asked for water as our drink and were given bottled water, and charged for it. The total bill for a large amount of food (ie. too much food!) was $33 pre tip. The lunch patrons today were mostly families ranging in size from 3 to 6 people. There were some who appeared to be workers on lunch hour. They were doing a fair amount of takeout business also. When we were not sure what an item was, a helpful patron told us. The only downside was the music that was too loud for my taste and there was a TV on tuned to a soccer game. (I prefer no TVs while I am eating). We highly recommend this informal restaurant. read more

Went today for some pupusas to go. Service was horrible. They did not even bother to seperate/ label the pupusas. We weren't even sure which was which since it was a big order. The women working there were very unwelcoming and unfriendly. The pupusas were terrible too. They barely had any filling. In the second photo is all of the extra tortilla that had nothing in it. They were more like plain tortillas than pupusas. They were hard too you could tell they were not fresh at all. I used to come here a few years ago, used to love it, but they have really gone downhill since. Their pupusas got a lot smaller too. Will not be returning. Waste of money. read more

Tasty.Fresh. Delicious. What more can you ask for?! Had a yearning for authentic Salvadoran pupusas and tamales... Perfect! The food is prepared fresh to order so be prepared to wait, but oh so worth it! Prices are very reasonable, portions are decent. I might have to make this my go-to spot for this type of food. read more

This is my favorite place for pupusas in the area (I tried La Galera nearby and it was too salty and I didn't like their curtido as much). I always get the same thing: pupusas revueltas (pork and cheese), sweet plantains, and I love their curtido (cabbage slaw). read more

El Salvador Restaurant - a plate of food with the caption puplusa my last one - Seafood Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

I usually go to Salvadorian restaurants for pupusas - I usually get the revueltas which have refried beans , cheese, and pork - They're delicious but I didn't care for them much at this - they were small in other restaurants they're made huge but in my opinion it was kind of tasteless and barley had anything in them ... They also sell fresh mango with lime juice and salt but I could do that home - will not be back .. read more

This place is great! I came here for lunch back in October and it was an awesome experience. I had never had food from El Salvador before so I got a variety plate and I was very, very glad i did; the plantains, papusas, steak, rice, and eggs were amazing and so very flavorful. The food is also ridiculously filling and you get so much food for the price. Everyone in my group was in a food coma afterwards and we loved coming here! read more

El Salvador Restaurant - Variety plate, sooooo good! - Seafood Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

So my daughter just discovered pupusas and has been craving these delicious El Salvadorian specialty. As I always rely on Yelp, we drove 35 minutes away to this place. I heard the wait sucks so we called up for pick up. When we got home, the pupusas were still warm. We loved it! Almost as good as homemade, she said. The "Pupusas con todo" is definitely our first choice followed by the "revuelta". Hearty and filling. Their Tacos de lengua is so good, but the bistec is tough and dry. I always get horchata when I see one, anywhere. Next time, we will eat at the place and try their cashew drink. read more

It's pretty easy to miss this establishment but so happy I didn't. The food was well seasoned and really enjoyed every bite. The pupusa was fresh, super cheesy, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. There's ton of parking and the thing I loved the most about this restaurant was the great service that was received. read more

Wish I could give zero stars... had stopped buying from this place because they don't care for their customers. The girls who work their don't care and have an ugly attitude. Was hung up multiple times had to curse one of them out once. Yesterday I decided I'd give them another shot to see if they improved. NOPE. Girl on the phone was a total ass. She kept yawning & asking me to repeat my order because she "couldn't hear" told her off and she was just then quite. Last time ever. OH AND don't even go in person even worse. read more

The Pupusas are very tasty and the tamales. The food is good and the sopa de rez. I like the food and do take out for my family.

Pupusas were not oily, a plus. I liked the curtido, a hint of spicy flavor. The beets gives it a nice pink color. The frijol con Queso pupusas was flavorful. No son las mejores que he probado pero son lo suficiente buenas para ordenar otra vez! Parking available. The room seemed too packed with tables for eating in (this will feel too crowded for me). read more

Excellent!! Jesus this place is delicious. I came on my lunch break and we got three orders of stesk, tostones, rice and beans and it came in less then 30 mins. The waitress was very quick and pleasant while taking our order. With the short notice of our order and how fast it came, I was amazed on how great it all turned out. Well done. read more

This place is awesome! My family and I have been coming here to eat for years. The Pupusas are tooooo delicious, and their "Churrasco Especial" is always warm and juicy right on a skillet. I would recommend this place to anyone in the mood for some good Central American food! The prices are good too! The staff are always pleasant and nice.. definitely try the fruit juice and shakes from here... read more

I live in East Orange and they delivered to my house. Usually, restaurants in Orange don't deliver to my house since it's so far (border of Bloomfield and E.O; so I was really happy they did. I got the rice and beans with fried chicken breast and leg while my boyfriend got the fried shrimp which was on a bed of salad. This was my first time eating Salvadoran food and I was satisfied. The food was really good, so good that my boyfriend and I ordered from them 3 days in a row lol. The only problem I had with the delivery was that we had to do it on this app called door dash which is similar to uber eats. Never used either so that messed it up a little for me since the delivery guy called me twice regarding what I wanted. Other than that, great food. read more

Amazing food, doesn't matter what you order! Beef soup is delicious, skirt steak is insanely tasty... It's called Churasco tradicional. The fried yuca is great too. The wait sucks but well worth it. read more

Very good food and friendly staff despite the Spanish language barrier. Try the traditional Salvadoran pupusas. All varieties were delicious​. The small corn husk tamales with sour cream were also wonderful. If you're a tongue aficionado, the beef tongue tacos were tender and very tasty. Our table also sampled the fried whole tilapia, which was a bit dry, but picked clean to the bone by the end of the meal. In short, everything was good. Plastic tablecloths and somewhat crowded, but given the quality of the food and bargain prices who can complain. read more

Hands down one of my favorite Salvadorian restaurants. I have a huge family and we always come here for birthdays, graduations, etc. Everything on the menu is great. My personal favorite is the pupusas revueltas ! The skirt steak is also very good as well as the taco dorados. Prices are decent and we had a party of 13 people and we basically all had entrees sodas appetizers and the bill came out to less than $250! All the dishes were amazing and no one left hungry. Oh & FYI you can BYOB :) read more

Food is okay. But Being Salvadoran their pupusas are trash. Their filling looks like it comes out of a tube. It's more tortilla than the filling if anything. Terrible service I once tried calling and this bitch hung up on me. Then I called ordered she wasn't answering so I hung up, then I called again and they passed to some mean old hag who was making fun of my voice. This was the second encounter I had with their service. All I wanted some food. First time the waitresses kept walking past us after we nicely called them and they were ignoring other people too. After that I told my cousin and she said they found a cockroach in their pupusa. Which made sense cause they suck. Never again. read more

Food it's decent, service it's not so well. Tortillas are aged and not fresh at all, we got sick a few times. La comida es decente, el servicio no es tan bueno. Las tortillas están agrias y tienen un sabor a cómo si fueran de varios días. Recientemente mi esposa se enfermó con esta comida. read more

Great authentic food at reasonable prices. Pupusas are very good. I recommend the ones "con todo" beans,pork and cheese. Delicious!!! I traveled 30 minutes to get here. Well worth the drive. I have found my go to spot outside of El Salvador itself. read more

Very attentive staff who always take time to explain the Salvadorian authentic cuisine options. I always invite friends whom I want to show traditional cooking from my country of origin. Highly recommend to them the popular pupusas, which is a Salvadoran original thick round flour tortilla filled with pork, beans, a mixture etc. For natives, you will find semita, cheeses, and mango to take home after dinner. read more

I've tried to like this place repeatedly as the food is good but the service is consistently HORRIBLE. Waitresses are indifferent all the time. Most recent incident was being left on hold for over 30 mins to place an order. Just can't do it anymore read more
