Enjoying delicious Pupusas Revueltas from our friends at La Ceiba Restaurant on S. Fulton St. You might think of these as soft, corn tortillas stuffed with cheese and additional fillings of your choice. I prefer the pork, bean and cheese option but other meats and a veggie option are also available. These are paired with a lightly pickled cabbage slaw. We also had the beef Pastelitos. This crunchy, flaky pastry is stuffed with meat and cheese and is paired with pico de gallo, lettuce and cotija cheese. Delicious handmade sopes and the chicken soup are also a must try. If you want to try some authentic Salvadorian cuisine, La Ceiba is a must try. Don't forget they are cash only. P.S. A brand new Panaderia is opening soon right next door offering a variety of Latin desserts! Watch out S Fulton! read more

See all

The food is hit or miss, sometimes it seems like someone forgot to season the food entirely. When the seasoning is right it tastes amazing, but else it's very bland. My biggest problem is pricing from their menu never matches what you end up paying. There's no itemized receipt either and they often end up forgetting items you ordered, but without an itemized receipt you never know if they added the charge without providing the item or not. The ambiguous nature of menu prices lends itself to discriminatory pricing. Unfortunately for that reason I will not be back. Based on the more recent reviews it seems they have chosen to continue this practice of discriminatory pricing. Also, it's cash only so that adds to the headache of how much cash to bring. There's no reason why the owner can't just take a marker or white out and update their pricing, leading me to believe this is intentional. read more

La Ceiba is one of the best hole in the wall gems in Salisbury. We've been going for years... they've moved around a bit but are now in the Fulton Heights area, right on Fulton Road. Everything is delicious. I love hearing the slapping of fresh tortillas and pupusas happening in the kitchen. I'm from Central America and this food is legit and authentic. And CHEAP!!! For the amount of food you receive, the price point is one of greatness. There can be a bit of a wait sometimes but it's worth it. For under $10, you can have a taco, a sope, and revuelta plus it brings slaw and mild or hot salsa. Chef kiss goodness! read more

La Ceiba - Tacos de carne asada, sope de pollo, pupusa revuelta, cole. - Latin American Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

The food was okay, the pupusas were good but the prices are way incorrect. Its a big inconvenience especially since they only take cash, the prices are almost $10 more than whats the listed on the menu. We asked them if we couldve switched out the drink that we did not drink for something different n still got charged for extra drink. N when pointed out were stared out like were delusional. The ppl are nice but def a big inconvenience n couldnt even fix or acknowledge the problem with them. read more

Disappointing food and service. Restaurant needs updated and bathrooms were not clean. Papusas were good but the baleadas, yuca and chicarrones did not have any seasoning or flavor. Prices at register ALOT higher than on menu. There is a sign saying prices will be higher but you don't know how much anything costs until it's rang up. My husband left his food uneaten and still had to pay for it. Actually had to go elsewhere and feed him after just spending $40 on lunch here. read more

Tasty food but we were charged considerably more than menu price. Managements explanation was the posted prices were outdated.

This address is wrong. La Ceiba moved to another location here's the address 1024 S Fulton .St Salisbury NC 28144 the real la Ceiba is wonderful and tasty with great service and cheap food read more

VERY SLOW SERVICE!!! Although the service is slow, the food is very delicious but maybe not worth a 90 minute wait, you be the judge. read more

I was really pleased by this restaurant. It is a rather normal atmosphere, nearly full with hispanic customers all speaking Spanish. All the staff seems happy and is conversing in Spanish. But, despite complaints I saw about this, I had no problem communicating in English. The waiter was extremely helpful and wellspoken. He gave me samples, since I was unfmiliar with many Latin American dishes and how they differ from what we call Mexican in the USA. The orders came reasonably quickly. All made fresh. The papusas, their specialty, are amazing. But, the fajitas are perfect. Burritos, etc. None are really Mexican. Special cuisine of their place, El Salvador. One person complained they don't take credit card. Well, that reviewer is a dunce. There's a huge sign that says in English and Spanish that they only take cash and to pay at the counter. He should change his review and number of stars. They were very welcoming and kind. Packed place, because the food is super and the cost is more than reasonable. I will return whenever I'm in town. read more

I have been to several Latin American restaurants throughout the Piedmont area and this is by far my favorite! The tortillas are hand made, as is almost every order. The pupusas are a must try! If you're in a hurry but still want to dine-in, you can call ahead to have the food ready by the time you arrive. There is a sign when you walk in the door (next to cash register) that explicitly says they only accept cash. read more

Love this place. The reason your food takes forever to come out is because it's always made fresh! And the reason why everyone else comes out before yours is because they placed their order before getting there so ORDER BEFORE YOU GO! food is A++ read more

Good food, but seems fraudulent to list one price on the menu and charge a higher price when paying (25% increase). When asked why different, employees stated the owner changed it. All the menus have older lesser prices apparently and receipt is not itemized so looks like more deception. It's a shame, cause the food is good, but won't honor listed prices. read more

This is one of the best Mexican/Central American restaurants around Salisbury, NC. I have to admit I was skeptical to try this restaurant, as the outside appearance is not what you would think of a restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by the good service, good food, and cleanliness of the restaurant. I highly recommend this place as you can tell they use fresh food and ingredients. It's also more traditional Mexican than the American version a lot of the other Mexican restaurants have. Definitely a must try. read more

Food was decent but on my one and only visit I was with a group that had all been before and raved about it. My food came last and much later than the rest. It took 90 minutes to get my food and I was hungry. Everyone else was nearly finished when my food came out. Food was decent but I couldn't get past such slow service. read more

Very good Latin food. Even though they don't have food from all Latin countries (how that would be possible is ridiculous), the Honduran and Salvadorian items are delicious. Everything is freshly made. The Popusas can't be found anywhere else in the area. The corn tortillas are amazing. Love the salsas. The staff is very nice. I love going here. read more

Very good Honduran food. The pupusas de Chicharron y queso are excellent. Also love all the tropical drinks like maranon, horchata, and flor de jamaica. No frills but Service friendly and attentive. I lived in Central America for 9 years, this is the real deal. read more

Food very bland, accommodations very simplistic. The concept supposed to be Latin Food but when you inspect the menu most of the food is either Mexican or Honduranean. To make matters worse the waitress failed to let is know that they do not accept credit cards. Result: 1/2 hr drive to pay the bill. Not returning read more

My wife and I just had lunch there. Absolutely great food. We asked the waiter to suggest things so we had an assortment (too much) but everything was perfect. Obviously all made there with fresh ingredients and not spicy (although you had dipping sauces to add some burn if you wanted it). Read about them in Yelp and had to try it. Already planing another trip to do it again. read more
