    I was craving some pupusas and tamales and dragged my mom here while I was in town. It was late…read moreafternoon on a weekend and the place was PACKED and carry out was also really busy, so I knew we were in the right place. We placed an order easily for some pupusas and tamales to go and waited about 15-20 minutes. Additionally, the prices can't be beat for such great food. It's bright and lively inside and full of lots of staff keeping up with the demand. On to the food, these tamales were the best I've ever had. The masa was so light and fluffy and the chicken and sauce was savory and delicious. My mouth is watering just typing this, I could eat them every day. The pupusas were griddled to perfection, packed with melted cheese and pork, served with a fresh side of flavorful curtido full of oregano and that tasty red salsa. We only got two and the cashier was surprised and I discovered why-- two is not enough. They are so good. Highly recommend this spot if you're in need of some authentic Salvadoran food.

Being so busy it was a little loud but pleasurable. Overall a great spot for large or small groups. Plenty of menu options, both Salvadorean and Mexican. Great customer service as well. Thanks you!!

I wish I would have gotten more over the shrimp tacos however the tacos weren't bad but didn't live up to other things. The shrimp were pretty big and grilled. Hands down going back for papusas. Best meal I've had locally in a min. The restaurant is very relaxed but it was also lunch time. No one greeted me. Had to walk to the bar for service and seat myself. Aside from the that the server was really nice. It's just an old school hole in the wall joint.

    Amazing Latin American restaurant! Walking in you could feel the love radiating from every corner…read more It felt like the staff really cared for customers greeting everyone and making sure our food was good, even offering recommendations we wouldn't think of. My partner and I both got their steak offerings with myself getting a steak chimichanga and him getting a steak burrito. They were both oozing with flavor, we both made audible "yum" sounds as we took our first bites and then laughed at how this food made us have a cartoon moment. The fries and beans sides were also good although the fries were our favorite, the menu doesn't offer this as a side for meals but our server was able to make the substitution. We left feeling super lucky that lovely family restaurants like this exist and that we got to experience their food. Can't reccomend this spot enough, they truly care about what they are putting out and it shows. If thats not enough to convince you they also give you free chips and salsa!

    Authentic EL Salvadoran food…read more.. Was in the neighborhood and wanted to try something different.. Lucita's had a lot of positive reviews, so I had to try it out... I was not disappointed. Ordered the chicken and jalapeño pupusa and a horchata drink. The pupusas were great especially with the hot sauce that gave them that extra kick of flavor.. it came with a side of pickles cabbage that was just okay. The Horchata tasted great as well.. A traditional Central America drink made with rice, milk, cinnamon, and other goodies. Definitely recommended to check out. Note: the prices on the menu photos are out of date.. prices are a little bit higher now.

The owner was friendly, he answered all my questions. I ordered the al pastor fries, chips and salsa and cream stuffed churros. The fries were good, but a little bland. Just a little seasoning or sazon would definitely elevate them. But they did look good!! It's a $3 upcharge to add chips, salsa, and a drink to your meal. I enjoyed the churro. It was hot, crispy, and fresh. I'd get the churros again. It would be even better if they had a dipping sauce to go with them. They're dry, so caramel, chocolate, or vanilla would make them pop!! My friend got the beef tacos. She was a little disappointed because they were soggy and the beef didn't taste seasoned. She also couldn't get just one taco or mix and match. 3 tacos was the only option. The wait time was about 5-7 minutes which was a reasonable amount of time considering the line. I've had their pupusa's before also, which are good and come with a slaw on the side and sauces. The foods ok and they have good customer service. Check them out!! (Their food truck is at the Dam Neck Farmers Market on the weekends)

    The name of this market has been changed to: Cielito Lindo, which is a popular Spanish song and…read moreroughly translated means "Lovely Sweet One" although "cielo" means heaven and "lindo" means pretty - combined this phrase is typically a term of endearment. This tidy little Latino market carries many Hispanic, Mexican and South American products. Being of Cuban descent, I frequently head to this site for Goya products, including rice, black beans, plantains, Adobo spices, coffee, Maria cookies, fresh fruits and veggies, tomato items, empanada shells and my "never be without" Mojo Criollo Goya marinade. This marinade truly is the spice of life and I use it in many of my recipes! You will also find baked goods, household items, and sundries at this store. There's a deli/butcher in the back and a frozen food section. There's also a small restaurant and pupuseria serving Latin fare, from Cuban sandwiches to tacos to tostones to tamales to yucca to soups/sides and more. They serve Cuban coffee, horchata, Latin sodas, and other drinks and some tempting desserts, like flan and tres leches cake. For an inexpensive, quick bite in a casual, no nonsense eatery with lots of festive atmosphere, you've gotta try Cielito Lindo, it really is "a slice of heaven". And not to worry if you don't speak Spanish, some of the folks there speak English. ¡Provecho!
