    Pupusa, queso con loroco
    Anita N.

    I loved the ambience of this place and the fun atmosphere. Definitely not a place I would've noticed if it weren't for yelp because it's sort of hidden behind a Valero. I went on a cold evening and seeing the blazing neon blue lights from the parking lot definitely was welcoming! The El Salvadorean/Honduran pride was ubiquitous and equally charming! I was welcomed by a very sweet lady who greeted my roommate and I in Spanish! Thankfully the both of us speak it so it really wasn't a problem for us :) Now for the food. The pupusas were every bit as amazing as how others have described them!!!! I got the one that was "queso con loroco". Definitely something I'll be coming back for regularly!!!! The horchata was great too and definitely different from the Spanish or Mexican variety in the sense that it was less milk and more cinnamon and sugar. Unfortunately, my barbacoa torta was not what I had hoped for. The size was great but it lacked meat and flavor. I don't know whether that's how this specific variety is made but it just was not something I particularly enjoyed. My roommate ordered chicken flautas and described them as "average". She also mentioned that she wished that it came with a slice of avocado or two and spicier salsa. As I said before the ambience is fun and the pupusas are off the chain :) I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    Pollo

    Siempre he ido a comer allí, pero esta vez se pasaron, los plátanos todos quemados, y negros, como que los pusieron a freír en el mismo aceite del pollo! I've always gone to eat there, but this time they went overboard, the bananas all burned, and black, like they were fried in the same oil as the chicken!!!!

    Pollo Guisada Plate

    We were in Arlington to watch A&M BTHO Arkansas...again. Needed breakfast tacos and found this gem. No tacos (Salvadoran food) but their huge breakfast burritos did the job and were delicious. We walked back to eat after the game. I had their Tipico Salvadoran specialty plate and my wife had the Pollo Guisada. Wow!!! We're tex-mex lovers from San Antonio. It's different but very good. There were a few people in there but that place should have been packed with people waiting for traffic to ease up.

    Burrito was 2.99 on menu but charged 3.99

    Ok food but when it came to the check they added a dollar for each plate. When we asked why it was different from the menu the waitress said that they have there own price. Coffee was supposed to be free since we were there before 11 but since the waitress didn't give us the check till after 11 we had to pay.

    Nice find! Friendly staff. Clean. Good food for a good price! They have not only Mexican but Salvadoran and Honduran foods on the menu!

    The pupusas are the best in town. If you have never tried a pupusa, I recommend it, they are doughy cheesy goodness top if off with the pickled cabbage and it is the bomb!!!

    Steak torta to go!

    Bread is always so stale and pork tamales never have any meat in them. It's just masa and they are barely fully cooked

The chips are good and the bean dip and salsa are excellent. Today we split chicken and skirt steak fajitas. They were excellent! The biggest problem with steak fajitas is when the meat is tough or chewy, making it difficult to eat without pulling the meat out of the tortilla. The meat today was delicious and tender. Service was fantastic. Our server, Oscar was fast and attentive enough to make sure we were enjoying the meal, not too intrusive. The atmosphere feels more authentic than many larger chains. There are a lot of tables and it is not quiet, but not really noisy either. It was easy to carry on a quiet conversation. Would highly recommend. I have no idea why their Yelp rating isn't higher.

We requested patio seating, only to be told it was closed, despite seeing another couple already seated and being served outside. No explanation was offered, which was disappointing and confusing.This isn't the first time we've visited and noticed a pattern: long waits for us, while guests who appear to share the same background as the hostess are seated immediately. It's hard to overlook when it happens repeatedly.We're generous tippers and consistent customers, but this visit made it clear that it's time for us to move on. We'll be dining in Las Colinas from now on.

We called them and told them there are no rice and beans and they literally argued with my dad. Saying they did pack it. They didn't believe us! We were just calling to inform them of this, we told them we can send a picture, face time, and even told them to check their cameras, but they proceeded to argue with us. We've been there a million times but never going back again after that. So ridiculous to sit there and argue with us over rice and beans not being in the bag. We didn't even call them upset we called them to say they didn't pack it then they got attitude with us, refused to refund it, and said we were lying. Worst customer service I have come across in YEARS

The server was rude. she took our order and told us gorditas came with beans. We asked for no tomato, it came out with tomatoes and no beans. She got an attitude and stated I didn't mention anything about beans when she was the one that said it came with beans. She brought the plate back and said they told her it doesn't come with beans. Fine Won't be returning, this was our 1st visit and we were excited to try it.

I appreciated it having English & Spanish descriptions. There were two of us, two menus they brought, and only one water. Had to ask for the 2nd one after we realized it really wasn't coming. They bring you chips & salsa. That salsa is good but it is spicy! Proceed with caution & ensure beverage readily available. We got a bean & cheese papusa just to try. It was decent. I actually don't remember if it had cheese i'd order again with different filling. I enjoyed my chicken quesadillas. They were stuffed with meat and the side portion of rice and beans was large and good. The cheese to meat ratio wasn't right for a quesadilla - some ate more like a soft taco than quesadilla) but my arteries are probably in a better place with less cheese. The beans could benefit from a tad of flavor. I was supposed to get pico but believe we may have had a communication issue as my Mom asked for no pico (on hers). Not a biggie though. My Mom enjoyed the nachos. Chips are different than what we're used to. We were both disappointed in the consistency, taste & flavor of the guacamole. It was not good, seemed to come from a tube, near revolting. The prices are a little on the high end. We both brought half our meals home so not so bad when divided out that way. Unfortunately I'm not fluent in spanish so there was a minor language barrier but all the staff were smiling, welcoming, and we did well enough! I would like to go back to try more.
