Great little spot for authentic Central American food. Friendly service, clean and tidy, reasonably priced. Delicious pupusas and the salsa has a kick.
This was a nice, different, mom and pop place in Keller. It's a relaxed setting here. No real bustle and urgency from the patrons or staff. Everyone was just there to sit and visit and enjoy. No alcohol served here, so if you're looking for a place to grab a beer or margarita with your food, this isn't it. If you're not familiar with Salvadorian food, it looks similar to Mexican food, but is also not. You'll get chips and salsa when you sit down and I'd strongly advise against eating any. There's nothing wrong with them, and I thought the salsa was good and actually had a little bite, but don't get full on a texmex staple when you're out to try Salvadorian. You're gonna see lots of Yucca and Plantain on the menu. Chicharron is also popular. Lots of seafood as well. You want a whole fried fish? Done. We ordered some "nachos"/mini tostadas for an appetizer, then ordered 6 pupusas (think a thick tortilla stuffed with whatever filling you picked) and a side plate of yucca with chicharron and a side of plantain with cream. The nachos are made on what look like a tostada shell cut in half, or just a large half moon chip. White cheese with beans and carne asada on top. There was a seasoning to it I couldn't pick out. We ordered 6 pupusas so we could try a variety of flavors. They all came out on a single plate. They look small and thin but they are not. To accompany the food you get a bowl of shredded and pickled cabbage and a bowl of cold red sauce to top it all off. The sauce is not intended to be spicy, so give it a try. One of the best parts of the meal was the drinks. They have a large menu of aguas frescas to choose from. Just bust out Google to translate everything. Just think lemonade but made with passion fruit, as an example. They also had lemonade and it was delicious. It's a great place to stop by for a meal and we'd all definitely like to go back and try more of the food. They also have a small market of Salvadorian food items to take home that you'll see when checking out.
I came during lunch today and had the bistek, not only is it affordable and flavorful but you get a decent amount. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back, my wife also enjoyed it she had the same thing.
I've been coming here for five years now, and I absolutely love their pupusas. I first discovered this place because I work nearby, and I had to introduce my husband since there aren’t many authentic and delicious pupusa spots in in Haslet. He loved them just as much as I did! I went again today, and the server was very friendly—my overall experience was awesome!
I don't leave many reviews because I'm not very wordy but I can't not leave a review after eating that. The Plato Tipico was one of the best plates of food I have had in my 48 years on this planet. Please try this place if you haven't. You'll probably even see me here cuz I'm sooo coming back for more!
What a gem! We stopped here by chance. This El Salvadorian restaurant did not disappoint. I ordered the whole fried fish and shrimp plate and my husband ordered the Bistec Ranchero. Both were delicious. The fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly. I’m always afraid to order fish at restaurants because it’s normally overcooked or undercooked. The Bistec Ranchero was a flavorful dish with an authentic taste. Chips and salsa came before the meal and were great! Not too spicy. :) They even had a little Salvadorian store at checkout if you wanted to bring something authentic home. Super cute. An added touch, that really helps customers decide, is that they had pictures of the dishes on the wall. We will be back! I want to try the lobster next.
What a gem! The food and service were awesome, simply put. They were not busy, but to be fair, we went in at 4:30. As we were finishing, others came in an to-go orders started. I encourage you all to support these small local businesses, especially restaurants, because it’s a brutal business. Anyway, I decided to get a whole tilapia (fried) as I haven’t had that in years and it was so delicious I could eat it every day. My wife had the steak tacos. I asked her how she would rate them, and she said “11”. I told her that ratings only go to 5, then she replied, “Then put in a 6.” I felt the same. The only recommendation I can give is to study the menu ahead of time because it is quite extensive. They will give you a paper menu when you leave and you will also be able to shop a small assortment of El Salvadoran groceries if you like. You won’t know what to get in a short period of time, but I’m convinced that whatever you get will be awesome!
We tried the Hen, come with a Hen soup bowl, the Hen is grilled with salad and rice. At the side hand made tortilla, central America style, everything was healty. Not spicy-hot, a perfect match of healthy and fresh made food.
