So this place looks divey inside and out but the food is delicious. I've been craving papusas and…read moredecided to try them. I got the chicken, pork and cheese, plain cheese and the loroco. They're served with a cabbage slaw, tomato sauce and some spicy pickled jalapeños and carrots. The slaw gives it a nice crunch and the tomato sauce is nice and sweet to counter the saltiness of the cheese. My favorite is probably the loroco, which reminds me of broccoli and cheese but different. The corn dough outside is nicely charred but soft on the inside. It's not dry at all, even with the chicken filling. I paid 6 bucks for all of that. I probably will definitely order take out again. It was very fast and the girl spoke fluent English. The prices on the steak plates seem reasonable so I may try that the next time. The decor is sort of sad but the food is bomb.

What a Deal Another…read moregem on Chalkstone Ave. Rincon is a typical Latino market that has a small kitchen in the back. It's someone's mom or grandmother cooking for you in the back. These are usually the best places. The place looks ruined down, but don't let it detract you. This place is good. The order was a typical carne asarda platter with a salad rice refried beans. I have to tell you it was delicious and for 9 bucks it could feed two, but I found myself eating the entire plate. Top it off with a nice passion fruit fresh juice and this was a great meal. If your in the mood for a home cooked meal for a great price give this joint a try. Thanks

Honestly the food wasn't that great, kinda mediocre. Ordered a chicken quesadilla and tres leches;…read morethey used steak and didn't even put the tres leches in there.

I could've sworn I'd written a prior review and added this business -- but maybe I've finally…read morecracked. Places like this Salvadorean mini market make my heart go pitter patter. It's an island on an island, stocked with a taste of home for many. There's loroco in jars, loroco frozen, baked goods, fresh avocados, many kinds of fresh quesos, masa, dried beans, guanabana drinks, candy, health food products / medication, lottery tickets and cigarettes. The store can help you wire money to loved ones far away and really seems to serve as a community hub in so many ways. I go every year for my pupusa fix. You'll want to call ahead for them since they make them to order and they take about 20 minutes. Or you can get them from the freezer case to make at home (about $10 for a four pack). I picked up a daily special of carne asada on a recent visit, which came with white rice; a whole pickled jalapeno; two thick, Salvadoran style tortillas; black beans; grilled scallions; and iceberg lettuce / tomato / cucumber / lime. The carne was reasonably tender, but definitely not something one should try to attack with a plastic knife and fork. It's the kind of place that makes me feel embarrassed that I speak Spanish on a Sesame Street level since everyone is a native speaker -- but folks are awfully nice nonetheless. Service runs on island time, or even a bit slower, but no one seems to get upset. This place is such a treasure.

Went there for lunch and got several snacks/small plates. Here's my review:…read more Enchilada de res - very good. Similar to a crispy tostada with lots of nice beef chunks, vegetables, cheese and tomato. Comes with salsa on top. Tacos duros - very good. Similar to Mexican flautas, but thicker with lots of real chicken inside. Tamal salvadoreño - good. Nice corn dough enrobed nice pieces of chicken and vegetables. Pupusa de chicharrrón - good. Not my favorite of the dishes I got. Kind of a mashed filling inside the pupusa. Most of these come with a cabbage slaw that was not my cup of tea, but ok. Overall. Nice service. Nice private parking lot. They take credit cards. Full bar with beer, wine and cocktails.

Also tried a few pupusas (jalepeno and cheese and revueltas). Tacos were great - light, easy to hold, soft but not soggy, meats were tender and seasoned well, and garnishes were fresh and finely chopped. Pupusas were a tad oilier than I hoped, but generally really good. I also ordered horchata. Probably wouldn't get again. The drink was too sweet and had chocolate plus another flavor (tasted like peanut butter) mixed in, which took away from the typical flavor. Dinner for 3 came out to ~$60 inclusive of tip. Would definitely recommend and I will be back!

They came on a platter with a pile of cabbage slaw and some spicy fresh salsa and a bowl of tomato sauce. We're not sure what was in all of them. One was cheese and spinach, one was bean, one was bean and cheese, one was cheese only, one was chicken and we don't really know what was in the last one, but they were all tasty. A pupusas is similar to an arepas. It's cornmeal cakes grilled with different fillings. The restaurant is nothing fancy. They do a swift take out business. Everyone is friendly. It is very autentico. They close early, 8pm and they are cash only.
