    I have been dying to eat at Lempira. I had stopped in there one night to pick up take out for a friend and when I saw the severs going by with their plates I almost passed out. I haven't stopped thinking about eating there since. This was a couple weeks ago. I finally got some time to go. I got there late afternoon, around 4:00, not the busiest time in the restaurant business so I got seated right away. I was so excited to be here I couldn't wait to see the menu. And it was amazing. lempira serves Mexican, Salvadoran and Honduran dishes. I love ethnic, cultural food and any time I get a chance to eat authentic cultural cuisine I am in heaven. My waitress came to attend and I rather exuberantly attempted to convey my unbridled excitement at what I expected to be an experience I would not soon forget. She, however looked at me a bit quizzically and said uno momento. While she was gone, I gleefully pressed my nose into the enormous menu that was broken down into the three cultural cuisines they serve. She was gone a good bit. When she came back she was a little stressed out as she tried to explain to me that there was no one there that spoke English. Now I got even more excited. My head was screaming Jackpot!!! This is what authenticity is all about!!!! Fortunately the menu was in both English and Spanish. Now the drink menu.....not so much. So I picked a drink called Jarrito using the point to the pretty picture method. She completely understood. Jarrito as google reported to me is a Mexican Soda. This drink had Tequila in it, so I am assuming it was a Mexican Soda with Tequila. It was good. For my dinner I had the Parillada Mexicana. Which I just found out means Mexican Barbecue. It was amazing. It was a tender and delicious grilled steak (flat iron), Devil Shrimp, Chicken Quesadilla, and a salad. All extremely generous portions. I cant eat any south of the border food without including Tostones, so of course I ordered a side of them. It was a very large portion as well, but I can assure there was no lamenting over the overabundance of food. My only concern was not eating the leftovers in the car on the way home. I really wanted to relive this experience tomorrow. Everyone should eat here! It is some of the best food I have had, made in a humble atmosphere by people that do what they know and that is to prepare and serve the food they know..... and I cant think of a better thing!!!

    Food was delicious and authentic. The place was packed for lunch . I got a sope with carne asada on top , it was so good ! I can't stop thinking about it . I'm ready to go back . The staff was nice and the prices were reasonable . If you go be patient they were short staff .

    Seafood Quesadilla!

    Soooo I will say this place has amazing food , it's absolutely delicious however the place was NASTY the booth was dirty the floor was dirty the bathrooms was horrible. Not to mention the FLYS !!!! The staff doesn't speak English when you really need them to ( trying to bring attention to the dirty) We got our food and left it was just too dirty . We did go in a Sat night not sure if that makes a difference but it still wasn't clean

    This place might be challenging to really enjoy if you don't speak a little bit of Spanish. While the menu is in English and Spanish, I did a lot of translating between the waitress and my gringo boyfriend. ;) Food here is fairly authentic and so, so cheap. It's hard to believe the amount of food you get for the price. Papusas & tamales for $2, huaraches for $4, tacos for $6... Incredible! Quality is pretty inconsistent -- some dishes are great and others below average. The same dish might even be great on one visit and not good the next. Overall, worth a visit though, especially if you catch them on a good day! So, grab yourself a Spanish speaking friend and head to Lempira! I prefer weekend lunch when the place is full.

    This place was awesome as soon as i walked in, i was greeted. I chose a booth and a quiet spot with no one around. In the corner My server was on point. Food was so delicious great flavor and taste...Trust i will be back in time. Food came back fast and it is really not that expensive..

    Definitely our new favorite restaurant!! I'm not sure if any of the servers speak English, but the menu is extensive with pictures and descriptions in Spanish and English so worst case scenario you could just point at what you want! I speak Spanish so it was fine. Everything we had was delicious. Mexican coke, pork and cheese pupusas, enchiladas, flautas, a baleada...it was to die for. And reasonably priced too! Service was fast and friendly! Can't wait to come back!!

    Restaurant and Bakery Salvadorena - Food was amazing ! Number 6 and Baleadas

    Located in a shopping center on WT Harris, gas station close by is a little sketchy at night but…read morenever had a problem when I go there. Inside you'll find a bunch of Salvadoran baked goods, snacks and even some soccer jerseys. There are 2 entrances to the location, one mainly for dining in and the other to pick up orders. I've tried their pupusas and they are amazing. I've tried a few places in Charlotte and this is the one that has kept my business. Their pupusas revueltas are made with Chicharon, cheese and beans, most places I've been to don't add beans but that adds something to it. They mostly speak Spanish but I think anyone can go and get what they want. A must try.

    Primera vez probando este restaurante y quedé gratamente impresionada! La comida estaba increíble…read more Pedimos el número 6, que viene con huevos, frijoles, crema, plátanos, carne asada y chicharrón. Fue el mejor desayuno que he tenido en mucho tiempo. También pedimos las baleadas con huevo, crema, frijoles y aguacate, también deliciosas y eran enormes. El agua de melón fue la mejor de las tres que probamos. Definitivamente volvería y recomiendo que lo prueben también. Está medio despacio el servicio pero es porque se llena y están haciendo todo a la orden. Imagino que los dueños son cristianos porque tenían música religiosa jugado . Todo bien amables y atentos .
