Cute restaurant on G street, I ordered to go and I placed my order they asked me for my phone…read morenumber and name and didn't give me a chance to asked how long it would take the lady hang up the phone :/ without saying anything. When I got there I waited for a while to get my order, the waitress was busy taking an order at a table. The empanada was really good although it looks burnt . I'm not impressed with the customer service, maybe next time I'll dine in. There's parking on the street.

08/10/25 @ 12 noon for Party of 2…read more Sorry not sorry - We came across Clavo & Canela IG page the evening prior deciding to cross the Antioch Bridge with $8 toll bridge just so we can support local businesses and give this place a try! We were led to believe their menu was 100% El Salvadorean dishes based on the IG reels which was not the case (sad). We were immediately seated soon after we arrived and while waiting for the service, we witnessed a few groups that came in and left soon after since they couldn't wait 15-20 mins for available tables. Based on the menu presented to us, we were told that there were a few items that weren't available and one of them was "Ube pancakes" and that's when we kinda lost it a bit, like "Ube pancakes?!! Isn't this an El Salvadorean restaurant?! Why offer Ube pancakes?!" Whatever- anyways we told the server we came to try the following: 1 pc rice pupusa with queso con loroco $5.25 1 pc regular masa pupusa with queso con loroco $4.75 1 Desayuno Salvadoreño $15.95 As stated on the menu "Delicious deep fried plantain, scrambled eggs with vegetables, CASAMIENTO (see picture), sour cream, and cheese." There was NO trace of CASAMIENTO on the plate nor were we told otherwise by the server. Moving right along to SERVICE: Understandably so, we didn't expect much when it comes to service with two young adults running the floor (taking orders & cleaning tables) - definitely needs more training! Something as simple as bringing over napkins & utensils either soon after cleaning the table, taking an order or even delivering one of the orders or whatever. We waited probably a good 7 mins before we were given teaspoons for our coffee cups and I was literally halfway done with my rice pupusa (thanks to my teaspoon!) before we were given proper utensils and a mason jar of curtido. Note to self: BYO utensils smh It's as if you're forced to only order "to-go" rather than dine-in. Both pupusas were pretty good, nevermind the experience, but as far as the plate order, we will skip it for now until they figure it out whether or not to serve it with a couple of plain tortillas and/or bread (see picture) and perhaps actually serve CASAMIENTO as stated!

Their pupusas were one of the few foods I was able to eat during the beginning of my pregnancy. It…read morewas very filling for just cheese pupusa. I wanted to try the pork, but saving it for when I no longer had food aversions since I'm not familiar with El Salvadorian food . The curtido was A-1! The pickled/vinegar veggies soothed my morning sickness, I doused each bite in it. I actually craved it twice in a week. We were greeted right away and the tables are clean and ready for you to have a great dine in experience. Even though we took ours to go, it was still piping hot after a 30 minute grocery run since it's wrapped in foil.

A plus is the hard workers there were so kind and sweet. It was nice and clean with a big screen tv Side note: In the past I tried a plain cheese pizza, yeah that was also delicious. Just go try them out! Super delicious! They're also on delivery platforms

First time pick up review let's get into it …read more If I haven't said it enough already , being from east Oakland and being spoiled by all the authentic Mexican / Salvadoran / all the ethnic food groups back home . I've had a struggle finding things in the Pitt without seeming like a spoiled brat lol . This morning i was really craving pupusas . I follow a few foodies from the area on instagram and yessys always pops up for pizza and pupusas ! So I said F it let's give them a try . Pulling up it is located inside of laraza market which is next door to the gas station . Kind of a convenient one stop shop if you ask me :) there's parking infront of the store . When you walk inside they have a few tables for eating nothing fancy . I ordered a bean and cheese and pork and cheese pupusa . They said about ten minutes which I don't mind because I know they're making it fresh right there . I went to the market side , grabbed my squirt , sat in my car , played like 2 songs and went back in . They were ready to go . I don't live too far . So when I got home they were still piping hot ! Packaged nicely ( the sauce and cortido of course was in bags but that's how I'm used to it lol ) they were yummy ! Dough wasn't too thick . The cheese pull was pretty nice and it was the perfect balance of the pork with the cheese and beans not one taking over the other . Pork had great flavor as well as the beans . Their cortido lacked a little of that tang I look for but besides that . 10/10 I think I found my pupusa spot out here . They serve more than pupusas so I'll have to come back and try their pizza I've heard they make good New York pizzas and you can order by the slice plus other items as well . Don't knock it till you try it and I'm saying come try it !
