Food is delicious! Lots of variety. Steaks in the platter was very tender and well seasoned. The Tripe/Mondongo soup was was very authentic for Central America served with vegetables, rice and tortillas, not spicy or strong gamey taste. So the Tripe is washed properly and cooked for a milder flavor. Family Friendly. Small Bar area. Decor, bathrooms and eating area was very nice and clean.

My friends introduced me to this wonderful restaurant in Gainesville , GA. I wanted to try one of everything on the menu. I will have to return many times until I do. For starters I ordered an ice cold Modelo Especial on draft beer (or draught beer) and a Columbian shredded beef empanada. The empanada is deep fried to perfection and is stuffed with tender shredded beef. You definitely have to eat this with your hands. The beef empanada has become my favorite. I also tried a pupusa with pork and cheese. Don't forget to add the slaw and tomato sauce on top. My friend had the shredded chicken pastelito and we split a carne asada entree and still had leftovers. It comes with flavorful meat that is so tender you can cut it easily with your fork. Rice with veggies (Don't forget to add the bean p

I stopped by to check out El Salvador yesterday and I’m glad I did! The pupusas are fantastic, pickled cabbage, habanero, tomato & savory green sauce, carne asada, chicken & chicharon! Tried all 3 & highly recommend checking them out, they have a breakfast menu as well! Disfrute de su comida!

First time trying it, and definitely going to be a repeat customer! I had "The taste of El Salvador" It was absolutely delicious. The "slaw" that they bring out for the pupusas, is absolutely delicious. 5 stars all the way! Come check this place out! ❤️ 🤤

Where to begin? I have eaten here over 100 times already, no joke. This place is in my top three favorite spots to eat at. The food is out of this world good. Close your eyes and point to anything on the menu- it'll be great. Along with the cool environment, the people who work there and run this place is what makes it special. Photo is their "Taste of El Salvador" Go eat here! Really!
