If you are wanting to sample their menu, I highly recommend getting the Caballo Bayo. They have a 2 person or 4 person option and it comes with a little bit of everything! There is fried cheese, chicharrones, sausage, Churrasco steak, chicken, eggs, fried plantains, sweet plantains, and so much more. You can't forget to order the Fresco de Cacao! They import fresh cacao beans from Nicaragua and grind them up with milk to make their Fresco and it is unlike anything I've ever had.

I had the tamales which came with fresh bread and a coffee (YUM). My husband had the Cubano sandwich and said it was unlike any cuban he's ever tasted but really liked it. Just a heads up - ordering a side of fried plantains is actually plantain chips. We'll definitely return to support this local business. Maybe will try a dessert or breakfast next time!

The ambiance is 0 because this is in a gas station but I would absolutely eat here again. We got the chorizo + jalapeno pupusas and they were both phenomenally flavored, fresh and hot.

"El Mana" or "The Manna" is a small Salvadoran pupuseria locates inside the Texaco…read more For those unfamiliar with pupusas "A pupusa is a thick flatbread from El Salvador made with cornmeal or rice flour. It is usually stuffed with one or more ingredients. These may include cheese (such as quesillo or cheese with loroco buds), chicharrón, squash, or refried beans. It is typically accompanied by curtido (a spicy cabbage slaw), and tomato salsa, and is traditionally eaten by hand, without the use of utensils. The exact origin of the pupusa has not been proven." Wikipedia (You can go ahead and hit that useful vote now) The pupusa's here are made fresh the corn meal is excellent, the cheese is delicious. The cabbage slaw is very good as well. Yummy stuff my fellow Yelpers. At about $2 apiece you can't get a better lunch under $5. On every visit I see them peeling tamarinds for the Aguas Frescas here, super fresh and delicious! Everyone at El Mana is a volunteer, with proceeds going to the construction of a church. Eat Pupusas, do good! There may be a bit of a language barrier at the counter but well worth it for what your getting, and the good you're doing! You owe me.

This restaurant, being in the middle of downtown Gainesville, has some serious curb appeal! The sidewalk patio is a great option if the weather is good, but if not, the indoor seating is trendy, comfortable, and inviting. For appetizers, their guacamole is one of the best ones I've ever had...seriously. Their bowls and salads have been excellent, and I will try other dishes as time goes along. The service is top notch, and every experience has been super good. This spot has been a winner for me, and I hope it is for you. PS- I have always been seated pretty quickly, so that's a nice plus!
