    Panes de Pollo
    Dan R.

    My favorite food stand inside the Reno Public Market, from the excellent pupusas to panes de pollo to two fresh fruit drinks daily.

    Flautas Salvadorenas.
    Raquel F.

    One of my favorite items on los Cipote's menu is Flautas Salvadorenas. They are so authentic and delicious. The revueltas pupusas are also flavorful and one of my local favorites.

    Great service from these ladies last week. My daughter loves their pupusas and will eat all three. She said she wasn't that hungry so I ordered one with chiccaron so I could have a bite. You order and they text you to pick up from the window. My kids were able to get there agua frescas fixes in from here as well. Thank you for your great service here. Next time we're at Public Market; we'll make sure to stop back by for another pupusa. Tip: Pay with cash here to avoid their ridiculous card fees. Make sure they're not adding gratuity to your order as well!

    Located in a spot where you have many diverse food choices and pupusas are always a good idea! These babies were stuffed with all the goodies and so flavorful. If you haven't tried a pupusa, go for the reveulta which is a combo of meat, beans and cheese.

    #8 Churrasco
    Kevin C.

    Great underrated lunch/dinner spot with fantastic authentic Salvadorean food. I got a #8 churrasco plate and it was perfectly cooked and delicious delicious. It was ready in only 10 minutes which is lightning fast for the Reno Public Market, and this place is certainly the quiet unassuming star of the show! Don't miss out!

    My children recommended that we come here. As a mixed culture family, they love good food, and they always look for Salvadoran things to go to. We came and we enjoyed pupusas and Pasteles at this place tonight. I was chastised by the grandma for using cutlery on my pupusa, I laughed, but I guess it's one of those Salvadoran things. They had good food in this restaurant, and they were kind and friendly. If you enjoy a very busy place for the laughter and enjoyment, you should come here. They have good food. You can buy beer from one of the local vendors, and enjoy the nice atmosphere here.

    My mom and I decided to try this Salvadorian location on a Sunday afternoon. Reno public market was packed but thankfully we didn't have to wait too long after we placed our order here. We opted for the bean and cheese, cheese and zucchini, and revuelta pupusas. Overall it was pretty good! I do wish there was a little more flavor in each but the sauce and curtido did help! I do wish it was teeny bit more affordable since they are the only place in town that doesn't use lard in their masa. A major plus! Everything looked clean and organized. The staff were friendly and I really appreciated the text message alert for when my food was ready.

    Came here on a sunny Saturday, it was busy of course but exciting and a lot to do besides eat. They have multiple dining cultures as well located inside. I'm a LA native and love El Salvadoran food, unfortunately Reno doesn't have a big market for it so I was very excited when I seen one located inside the Public Market. I ordered from Los Cipotes. Very nice people working and cooking the food, definitely authentic. I ordered the Flautas ($7) and the Pastelitos De Carne (4x$10), also came with a side of Curtido (pickled cabbage). I felt like I was back at home eating my best friend's abuelita's cooking. It was flavorful and comforting. The plan was to share it with my fiancé but I couldn't bring myself to share. If you're ever looking for good, flavorful and authentic Salvadoran food. Please visit them in the Reno Public Market. You won't be disappointed.

    Salvadoran enchiladas
    Paige B.

    Upon visiting Reno Public Market for the first time, we were a tad overwhelmed with the food choices. Not sure how we decided to order here, zero regrets! The gal who took our order was friendly and helpful with food descriptions. She took my name and phone # - you receive a text when your food is ready for pick up. So convenient in a space that could potentially be hard to hear or see when your order is ready. The pastelitas come in a tray of four, with a tangy pickled slaw, salsa. The dough fries up so crispy on the outside but tender inside. The filling was savory, juicy and makes for a delightful mouthful. Four is easily a meal, or would be perfect for sharing. The Salvadoran enchiladas are quite like a tostada not on a tortilla. The base is think, crunchy, chewy, and full of flavor. We ordered the carne: tasty, tender, juicy. It is topped again with the slaw, salsa and spices slices of hard boiled eggs. Definitely recommend this spot as a strong choice in the market.

    Tried the classic El Salvadoran dish called pupusa. These are filled with cheeses and meats. This spot makes them super hot and delicious. I tried the pork, chorizo, and cheese. It's a bargain at 3 for $10. Many places charge $4-5 for one. Every pupusa had awesome seasoning and spice, soft and pillowy, hot and delicious 8.5/10. Overall, I'll be back, want to try their other dishes, and it's conveniently located inside the Public Market. They made them fresh and quick, Many place take a while to get their pupusas cooked. My only slight complaint was the girl who took my order. She could have been a little more friendly and enthusiastic. She did not seem happy.

    The service is wonderful and friendly. Pay in cash and you get a discount. My third time ordering and always hot and delicious. This time we ordered jalapeño, spinach, and the native flower. The native flower was new and recommended by the lady who served us.:.. it will be a new staple! 10/10 recommend!!

    Flautas
    Julie S.

    Pupusas- we tried chicken, chicharron, and chorizo. Chicken was the fave! The red sauce they serve these with it is absolutely delicious (just the perfect balance of vinegar and spice). Flautas- absolutely perfect. These were filled with a meat combo and topped with beans and fresh chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, light cheese and onions. I wouldn't change anything about these. Hot dog- very saucy! It was tasty but pretty impossible to eat as a hot dog. Overall, an affordable and fresh option for dinner. Will be back for those pupusas again! Super value of 3 for $10, fresh, can't be beat.

    Good staff and good food! Get your pupusas and elote loco! Whether you're looking for a quick bite or just to try something new, located at the Reno Public Market, Los Cipotes have a little bit of everything for you to try from Salvadorian food. Can't go wrong with pupusas, especially queso con loroco, if you like corn on the cub with some cheese and condiments, you won't be disappointed because they serve you with plenty of that. Or go with the most traditional pan con Pollo. Their sweet corn tamales were good too. It's a good option for dessert

I can't wait to come back again for some more pupusas and eventually try other things on their menu!

They do have other options but something about simplicity is what I love. The gorditas also have beans and the choice of meat you want. I get something different every time.

The sopes were perfectly cooked, and the rice and beans were just right -- the rice was moist and well-seasoned, not dry at all. I also noticed that the old menu posted on Yelp lists soups as being available only on weekends, but the updated menu now offers them daily -- a nice improvement to note. Overall, this Salvadoran/Mexican restaurant has quickly become one of my new favorites. Español: Esta fue la primera vez que visité este restaurante, e inmediatamente me impresionó el amable personal y la espaciosa zona de comedor: tienen dos secciones separadas disponibles para que los clientes disfruten de sus comidas. Me decepcionó un poco saber que ya no sirven tamales, pero cualquier decepción se desvaneció rápidamente una vez que probé la comida. Pedí el plato combinado de sopas, que venía con arroz y frijoles, junto con una pequeña agua de Jamaica. La bebida era sabrosa y a un precio razonable, y toda la comida fue excelente. Los sopes estaban perfectamente cocinados, y el arroz y los frijoles estaban perfectos: el arroz estaba húmedo y bien sazonado, no seco en absoluto. También me di cuenta de que el antiguo menú publicado en Yelp enumera las sopas como disponibles solo los fines de semana, pero el menú actualizado ahora las ofrece diariamente, una buena mejora a tener en cuenta. En general, este restaurante salvadoreño/mexicano se ha convertido rápidamente en uno de mis nuevos favoritos.

There are colored paper signs all over the windows indicating specials in what can only be described as perhaps elementary school posters. The interior is pretty sparse with a small TV playing Latin shows. They have beer here including two El Salvadoran beers. In case you were wondering, this restaurant is the sister to El Salvador Restaurant in Reno, and yes, "Restaurant" is part of their business name. I'm not too fond of the one in Reno, however, I haven't been there in several years. I ordered the steak and eggs breakfast, en empanada, a pastelito de carne, a pupusa, and fried plantain and it all came with a salad and what is like Latin cole slaw. I'm a bit of a pupusas and empanadas fiend. The way I like empanadas are Dominican style or at least Washington Heights style which is deep-fried, flakey, and crispy. The empanadas here are a bit small and soft and they had some gooey jelly inside. I like pastelitos too, but here it was a bit more like jalapeno popper crust instead of a more pie crust. The pupusa is pretty decent. The steak was a thin slice which is how a lot of Latin restaurants make them, sometimes called bistec or carne asada. The best empanadas in Reno are at Cantina at GSR. They also have pupusas there. I used to list all the places in Reno/Sparks you could get pupusas, but I think for whatever reason, there are enough El Salvadoran restaurants around that you can get them at lots of places. Oh what the hey, here's the list: Bistro Habanero, Cantina, Mi Querido Pulgarcito (SPX), Asi Es Mi Tierra, Speedy Burrito, Restaurante Yesenia, El Rincon, and Los Cuatro Vientos.
