Personal attention to the service has to improve. The interaction with the waitress feels like they are in the rash, and the connection get los for tip. Even so, I left tip by conscience for a good or bad service. Thank you for the offer to the community and be open for better success. God bless El pulgarcito restaurants

I completely recommend this place, it's famous for its pupusas. I like the beans and cheese and cheese with loroco, those are my favorites. The rest of the menu is really good too. Gris was our server, she greeted us the moment we can in, she was super nice and polite! Great Service and Food!!! More

The food is amazing! The price is even better. The salsa is homemade, and it has a nice friendly atmosphere. However, the waitresses not so much. Could use more training on customer service and being more friendly. This is why I only order to go and eat at home lol, but overall, amazing food.

Sad to say that it is not a place I would go back to. First the girl that took our order was very rude, unprofessional. Second as we were waiting for our order one of the other girls dropped lids from the little plastic containers that are

We went on Sunday night, it was packed compared to during the week. 1 poor waitress working really hard to get to all of the tables, she was wonderful. The food was incredible and our waitress was really nice and forgiving. They need more

I saw the blue building driving to work every day and decided to give it a try. The service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean so the only real test was the food itself. I wasn't disappointed. Their tamales are some of the best

The BEST Salvadoran food we have ever had outside of El Salvador! My grandparents and I live in Washington, D.C., (where there are tons of pupusa places), but we're from San Vicente. These were the best pupusas we've ever had. El queso,

Sunday is not the day to go here. The food is delicious but the service was horrible, since there was only 1 waitress for the whole restaurant. I've been here several times during the day and week nights, but I highly do not recommend

I'm making a note just so we can find this restaurant again. I'm not going to post any photos, because we ate all of it and we were too hungry to stop and photograph things.

  • Susan Carter

Delicious authentic El Salvadorian food. Quick service. Best papusas in town. The tamales were excellent also. The platanos were a little greasy and mushy but tasted great.

  • Ron Patch

We bombarded this little restaurant with over 50 cyclists on a Sunday afternoon. The food was terrific and the hospitality was fabulous! Thanks for hosting us! More

Service could be better. Food is ok, pupusas are delicious. Prices are a bit high. But they only put Mexican Banda and rancheras. Not very salvadoran. More

I came in to see a friend & she brought me here. The pupusas were so good along with the Carne asada I never tried this version and I'm glad I did.
