Salvadoreño #5 - Carte

I am from Seattle and I love pupusas! This restaurant has the best papusas I’ve ever had! Wowwwwww, speechless!

Nachos had a tablespoon of meat the rest was just plain corn chips with wisps of cheese on it. I feel insulted, didnt even include salsa

3 Pupusa Combo is absolutely delicious! It arrived nice and hot! And they gave me plenty of salsa and cabbage and the pupusas were nice and cheesy. I will definitely order from here again. Voir le carte

The vegan options are always fantastic, and the vegetarian choices are great as well! The service is friendly and prompt, plus they offer a wide variety of bottled cane sugar sodas, which are the best!

I really enjoy eating pupusas, although I don't get to have them often, which I consider a positive thing. This restaurant is a bit inconsistent when it comes to their pupusas. On some days, they're made nice and plump with plenty of tasty fillings, while on other days, they're flat and lacking in ingredients. On my latest visit, they were on the flatter side—still delicious, but just not enough filling.

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. The food was quite good. I ordered chicken pupusas, and my husband had carne asada, although the carne asada didn't have the flavors we expected. The wait time from ordering to receiving our food was decent. I also ordered rice in bean sauce, but that never arrived. As for the horchata, it wasn't to my liking; it had a chocolate or coffee flavor that just didn't appeal to me. Voir le carte

The chicharrones were nearly burned and overcooked, making them so hard that they were inedible. It felt like a waste of money, so we ended up throwing them away! They should know better! My father, who is from San Salvador, felt it was a disgrace to serve food like this. Additionally, the frijoles were overly salty, making them hard to enjoy. The Chicharrón or Revuelta pupusa also didn't match the recipe he remembers from his home country.

The meats were well-seasoned, and the dessert, Plantain Empanadas with Manjar Blanco, was fantastic, along with the fried plantains. I tried three different pupusas: carne asada, chicken, and vegetarian, all of which were delicious. However, the sauce was disappointing – it lacked flavor and was overly watered down. The slaw was decent but needed more salt, and the tortillas were quite dry and crumbly. I would definitely return just for the plantain empanadas.

The pupusas with bean and cheese, as well as the chicharrón and cheese, are consistently excellent. I always get an extra side of curtido because it's so refreshing. The chipilín and cheese tamale was incredibly tender and fluffy. I really enjoy the tamales wrapped in banana leaves here, as they impart a unique green, earthy flavor to the masa. This place definitely satisfies my cravings for pupusas and chipilín tamales. I've visited a few of their locations, and the food is always served hot and delicious! Voir le carte
