Went towards the end of the market (around 12:40ish). Service was fast, but there were a couple of…read morethings that caught me off guard. I was anticipating a hand-sized pupusa, and what was on the flat top were pupusas about the size of my head. Not necessarily a problem, but even a Salvadoran friend of mine was put off by how big the pupusas were when I sent him a picture. The second was the price. I get inflation and yadda yadda, but I looked at the menu picture on here for the pork pupusa ($7) and when I got there in person it was actually $10. Now, I get that the menu picture was 3 years ago, but yeesh. Again, the Salvadoran friend was blown away by the price. The pupusa itself was rather greasy, and had a very strong masa flavor. It was less a pocket of meat rather a flat pancake with meat throughout. Once I got towards the center, the flavor was a lot better. The curtido and the hot sauce made the pupusa much better. Over all, say it was pretty decent, but I would not get it again considering the price. If you like very large portions, you'll have no problem with these pupusas. It just wasn't for me. Pupusa: 7.0/10 With curtido and hot sauce: 7.6/10 Total: $10

There is plenty of sitting space, less wait, and more good eating! The only mystery here is that they stopped serving COFFEE. WHY????? A good breakfast is not complete without coffee.

When and if you bring coffee and milk back, I will change my rating to 5 stars... until then, you get 4 because coffee or not, the food is still great.

They have a really nice setup. We enjoyed some of their delicious beverages. I had the guanábana (soursop) juice and I tried my date's mint lemonade and both were delicious. I couldn't pass up on the sancocho. I went with the smaller portion and it was DELICIOUS. Absolute perfection. I also had their lunch special which was pork, rice, and salad. It was excellent. My companion had the lunch steak and it was wonderful as well. The food and drinks are appropriately priced. The staff are friendly and make you feel right at home. We even got a cup of their Colombian coffee to go. This restaurant is a total gem. Check it out!

The Service was outstanding, Ny was very pleasant and helpful for our party of 9. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. They have a full bar with plenty of bar seating in addition to the table seating throughout the restaurant.

The name "La Vinotinto" is inspired by the Venezuelan national soccer team, whose official uniform is famously known as "La Vinotinto" (The Burgundy). There is plenty of parking in a shared shopping center lot.

Pollo Loko - North Charleston, SC…read more The wife and I stopped into Pollo Loko for a quick lunch, not expecting much... and wow, what a surprise this place turned out to be. First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel appreciated from the moment we walked in. You don't always get that kind of attention these days, so it really stood out. The restaurant itself was spotless, well-kept, and had a great vibe. You can tell they take pride in the place. Now let's talk about the food -- because this is where they really shine. We started with the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our main, we ordered the Peruvian chicken, served with fries and rice, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired incredibly well with their signature sauces -- seriously, those sauces take everything to another level. Even the salad was fresh and tasty, which says a lot because that's usually an afterthought at most places. On top of that, they've got a great selection of sodas and other drinks, making it a perfect stop for a casual lunch. Bottom line: An unexpected gem with amazing food, top-tier service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. **Highly recommend -- 5 stars, 3 thumbs up from us.

This is a fast casual style restaurant and not a real fancy place. My picky colleague who's never had peruvian ordered the ribs. Quesadiladas - you get 2 in an order and these are different than Mexican ones since they have grilled bell peppers and onions. A bit pricy too...the rice and beans that come with this are just average. They only had 2 salsas for the table, a green ranch like one and a red spicy one similar to a spicy Mexican red sauce. I'm still looking for a peruvian restaurant that has the spicy green sauce that most all peruvian restaurants have in California.

My only complaint would be that the sweet tea was more of a northern sweet tea where they probably poured sugar in after the tea is already cooled.

Presentation was beautiful, food was delicious, and $17 for all of this food?!? you literally can't beat it! Also ordered the House margarita, $8 during happy hour, delicious and strong! Tons of outdoor seating, very nice inside layout (although it's a bit smaller inside) - plenty of parking - staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Please come check out Tierra Al Mar for Happy Hour - I promise you will be super impressed! One thing to keep in mind, happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 PM so plan ahead and get here early, but super cool that they also offer the happy hour on Saturday and Sunday from 4 to 5.
