This was my first time trying pupusas and I really liked them! You get a generous amount of food no matter what you order from the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio was nice and shaded and comfortable, even in summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service seemed a bit disorganized because there were two servers checking on us and sometimes no one would come by for a while, but nothing too bad. I would eat here again. read more

Salvadoreno Restaurant - Forgive me for the pic but I was actually eating this lol.Love Love Love!This is the green tamale! - Salvadoran Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Holy Moly! This I believe is their seventh location - they must be doing a lot right! If you're a fan of Salvadoran food and know that it is not just Pupusas they're known for, this is the place for you. Salvadoran food is much more diverse than the array of Pupusa styles offered, they have various other dishes that make El Salvador so distinct and different than other surrounding Central American countries and Latin food perceptions in general. Their flavors are distinct and very distinctive to the overall convictions of what one's opinion of Latin foods are like. We are so glad they opened a location nearer to our home. Previously we had a long way to get our Pupusas on - now we can have them more frequently! Besides offering extraordinarily prepared and flavorful Pupusas, their extensive menu gives patrons an enormous selection of Salvadoran and Central American culinary delights! From Lengua de Res Guisado or Sopa de Chipillin, to Mondongo or Mariscos, you're bound to find new faves never tried before. My wife loved her selection of the Pupusa Combo with harina de maiz, delicious frijoles and an amazingly big and sweet plátano frito (fried plantain). My selection was an exquisitely prepared and seasoned Bistec Encebollado (Sauteed Onion Flank Steak) surrounded by a cheese Pupusa, their yellow vegetable smattered rice and not to mention the Salvadoran-style coleslaw which embellishes almost every dish. Salvadoran Cuisine lovers and novices alike will enjoy this new location of tested true authentic family restaurant. read more

We are always searching for a pupusa spot and we always end up at el salvadoreño all their locations. The pupusas are good but I feel like they aren't consistent with flavor but nothing a little salt, salsa or curtido can't help with. I love getting the queso con loroco! Those are my fave. We aren't fans of the chicharrón, I'm not sure how they make it there so I'll just stick to making those at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do love all the decor with the salvi flag and art reminds me of the tias houses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And service is always great! read more

My daughter is in town, and she helps me try new ethnic foods! Tonight was Salvadoran food! We had the food delivered, so can't attest to ambiance. We chose the 3 Pupusas Combo with 2 sides. Love the fact we could choose the 3 Pupusas of our choice. As a vegetarian, my daughter chose spinach and a Flor De Calabaza for her eats, and I had a bean and cheese. I look forward to trying a meat variety another time. The outer cornmeal cake could be dense and heavy- this was not- and the flavor of the cornmeal came through. Stuffings were tasty as expected. The pupusas were filling enough that I had a quarter of the bean/cheese left over and my daughter had some of hers left over that we heated and enjoyed the next day for lunch. Our two sides were black beans and rice mixture, and a plaintain that we split. Again, all very tasty. We also ordered 2 sides of curtido (a spicy fermented cabbage slaw with carrots) that was outstanding! Crunchy, no overpowering vinegar taste. Enough left over as well. Must tell about the salsa- a special kind I have not had until last night. It is purposefully more watery than one would expect of a salsa, yet delicious poured onto the pupusas. My only negative statement: would love the establishment to use a more eco-friendly container for the food- arrived in styrofoam. I look forward to having their food again and thinking fondly about my daughter! read more

Went in on a late Sunday morning. We were greeted in Spanish when we came in.. responded with smiles but we only speak English. The young lady that took our order was pleasant enough. Ordered the "guacamole" as an appetizer, A 2 pupoosa plate and the fajitas. The puppoosa were great, no complaints there. The fajitas consisted of the proteins served on a bed of lettuce, cucumber, and radish. The proteins were cooked well enough, but as a whole it lacked flavor. I walked up to the bar to request salsa. (Interesting note: two groups we saw come in after us exchanged pleasantries in Spanish ... and they were brought salsas and slaw with their drinks. ) The menu picture of the fajitas also had a picture of rice on the plate. When i asked our waitress why my order had not included the rice, she said it wasn't rice...it was ... direct quote ..."corn or something"... when I mentioned that it still wasn't on the plate.. she just smiled and said "sorry". about 10 minutes after receiving our entree they brought out the "guacamole " ... a sliced avocado with a boiled egg sliced with it. I'm not commenting on the quality of the guac... but no apology was rendered about the timing...they said something about the egg having to be boiled correctly... but never proffered a simple apology about the botched timing. On tbe whole, it was a weird experience... we were really looking forward to trying this place... but we won't be returning. Obviously the best service is reserved for others. YMMV... especially... as we observed .. if you speak Spanish. read more
