We got the mini-pupusas platter and the ratio of ingredients were perfect. Curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and Salsa was on point. Beyond pupusas we love their creamy chicken entree (Pollo A La Crema) and breakfast Salvadoran style. Inside the restaurant is cozy and lightly dim. I noticed solo diners, couples on dates, and multiple families dining in having a good time. Welcoming environment. I love this restaurant. El Salvadoran cuisine is so underrated and not talked about enough. Amazing food and service!

From the moment our aguas frescas came out, we knew this place was different. The lemonade was freshly made, and honestly, who does that anymore? They do. Since it was our first visit, I asked our server to surprise me with her favorite dish. She recommended the Casorio, and wow. The presentation was beautiful, and it tasted even better. I can't gatekeep this place anymore. We moved to the area about two years ago and have been searching for a family-friendly restaurant with consistently great food. I think we finally found it. Our girls love pupusas, and they were a huge hit. We also ordered the fried yuca, which was delicious, and they had a new torta-style sandwich that wasn't even on the menu yet. It reminded me of a Salvadoran pan con pavo, and it was incredible. I have a feeling we're going to become regulars. Great food, friendly service, and a place we're excited to come back to. Highly recommend!

They set up in the outdoor area, which was perfect for a small event. The staff even made special menus for the party, which I thought was a really nice touch. I got to try the queso fundido with chorizo, chicken empanada, pupusa revuelta, and the ceviche tostada plate. The queso fundido was cheesy and rich, and the salty chorizo paired perfectly with the chips. The chicken empanada was crispy on the outside with a moist and flavorful filling. The handmade pupusa was one of my favorites it was soft, cheesy, and packed with flavor. You could really taste that it was freshly made. The ceviche tostada plate was super fresh and refreshing, a great balance to all the richer dishes. Everything we had was delicious, and our server Melissa was awesome. She made sure everyone at the party was well taken care of and kept things running smoothly.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Great Salvadoran and Mexican eats with friendly service…read more The hubby and I were going to see a show at the Permanent Records Roadhouse and decided to try this eatery right next door. We couldn't remember what had been there before, but I believe this was an improvement. There was a small reception area that led to a larger dining room. Not fancy by any means, but clean and the food was great. I got the mixed seafood tostada, which was very fresh, with good portions. We also shared a bean and cheese and a loroco and cheese pupusas, which were delicious. The hubby liked his horchata as well. Permanent Records Roadhouse specializes in loud rock, so you can definitely hear the music from inside the restaurant. We were able to listen to the opening band--a hardcore punk outfit--while eating dinner, lol. If the music isn't your jam, you can always get the food to go. The prices were reasonable in addition to the friendly service; I believe this will be our go-to before other future shows at the Roadhouse.

Very upsetting because you are expecting the same Wet burrito as you have always received and to get this mess is crazy and unappetizing. I have included a photo of how it has always been served and how we received it today. Tried eating it and it is bathing in so much sauce that it doesn't even taste right.

It took 20+ minutes during lunch rush but it was worth the wait! Bring your dirty car for a $30 hand wash while you wait for your food. For something this authentic, the menu was surprisingly posted also in English and the questions about the menu were answered in English and Spanish. The asada/cheese and spinach/cheese were fresh gooey and crispy on the edges. The cabbage slaw and red & green salsas were a perfect accompanyment to the rich pupusa. The asada tortas are also great choice with chopped asada on press grilled fresh rolls press grilled and slathered in fresh guacamole, black bean and lettuce/tomato.
