They offer from bandeja paisa to sancocho and ajiaco. You will find arepas and empanadas for sure. The food was great but the options on their menu are limited. Same as their drinks menu. Prices are a wee higher than the usual. In the summer, they have a nice patio at the front and back of their business. The staff is nice but they can be a bit slow. The place is small but very comfy.

After being introduced to this place by a friend who had tried this place, I immediately started…read moreresearching what I could get here. Friendly tip: they have a groupon available right now where you can get 6 empanadas and a sauce (salsa) andfor $24. But if you contact the owner beforehand, you can get the same deal without purchasing the groupon, which can help a local business save some extra fees. I called beforehand to place my order so that it would be ready by the time I got there. They have a wide variety of flavours to choose from. Their deep fried picks pertain to mozza cheese, while the oven baked ones are more meat focused. I ordered an assortment of different ones so that I could try a little bit of everything: cheese only, cheese + mushroom + green onion, cheese + chorizo, spicy ground beef, regular sliced beef, and chicken chimichurri. There is definitely a difference between the deep fried empanadas and the oven baked ones. I definitely have an unhealthy favouring of the deep fried ones, but the oven baked ones are a good alternative if you're trying to stay on the healthier side. My favourite empanada was the cheese + mushroom + green onion. They were generous with the cheese (read: cheese pull action was evident), and the mushroom had such a fragrant and strong flavour. As for the meat selection, it was so-so. I tried to be adventurous and try something different, but trying the others helped prove my initial prediction - which was that ground beef is the go-to as it is your typical empanada filling.

Loved this place! Was looking for an empanada place and this was the highest rated on yelp. The…read moreowner was very sweet and greeted us. She also had great recommendations. We ordered a variety to get a good feel including the ground beef, chicken chimichurri, shrimp and the cheese churizo. I would definetly recommend the shrimp and the churizo. Didn't really care for the chicken chimichurri. It wasn't bad but not amazing either. One thing I did not like at all was the salsa, way too much cilantro for my liking. Otherwise prices were fair and you get a free empanada for checking in. I didn't really like the location, it was in this weird industrial place but there was plenty parking. The decor wasnt bad, there's great art work however there was room for improvement.

This might just be the best Mexican and El Salvadorian food I've had in Canada. Wow. This might be…read morethe epitome of a hidden gem. Tucked away behind a small restaurant plaza, El Padrino is not shiny or flashy, but boy do they make their food dazzle. We tried the fried plantain, bean and cheese pupusa, and the chicken pozole verde. The pupusas were amazing, filled with gooey and hearty goodness, and the curtido was crunchy and refreshing. The pozole... perfect for warming up on a cold winter's day. The flavors were spot on as well. Other pozoles I've tried have been too watery or too acidic without much hominy, but this one was generous with the hominy while carrying the perfect amount of spice. The homemade tortilla chips also made a splendid accompaniment. The guy running the place was friendly and clearly cared about our food experience. When we ordered the plantain, he brought us out the plantains to check if we were okay with the ripeness. One thing to note is that sometimes they're out of specific items. I wanted to try the horchata, but they were out the day we went. The tamarind agua fresca was a solid replacement, however. Prices are also quite reasonable; I think the bill came out to about $40 for two people who left feeling absolutely stuffed. I cannot wait to go back to try their horchata and chilaquiles (and to get pictures instead of eating everything immediately)!

A delicious hidden gem located in the International Ave area. This place is slightly tucked away…read moreand not exactly on 17th Ave. When you turn on 50th it's right there. It's a small restaurant serving different Salvadorian and other Latin cuisines. They do have alot of options to choose from. I ordered combo 14 which had a bit of everything for you to try. A taco, pupusa, Taquito and 1 more item. There are different variations in their tacos and pupusa. They even have a special stew that is served only on Sunday that we need to try someday. BTW, there are tons of places in Calgary that make pupusa but I think this restaurant is the best. Great service and very welcoming. The only complaint I would have is this place does not have air condition. So can be very hot especially in the summer. Overall, delicious food and reasonably prices. Will come back and order other things next time.

I was really hoping this place would be good, for my people, unfortunately it was not. The sancocho…read morewas severely lacking in all seasoning. It included the toughest piece of cheap flank beef. The beef empanadas were filled of potato and one strand of shredded beef, if that. The salchipapas tasted like pure canola oil and including maybe half of a hot dog link. There are no fresh limes. I loved the ambiance as traditional vallenato music plays in the background. Unfortunately however I will not return as the food lacks everything.
