Salvadoran Restaurants near El Mirage, AZ

“Stopped in at Salvadoreño in El Mirage and it was an excellent experience. The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in.

We ordered pupusas and they were delicious — one with asada, one with chicharrón, and one revuelta (pork, cheese, and beans). Each one was perfectly cooked with a nice crisp on the outside and plenty of flavorful filling inside. They came with curtido (slaw) and salsa that took the flavors to another level, plus fried plantains and cream on the side. Everything tasted homemade and authentic.

The restaurant itself has a cozy, colorful atmosphere with papel picado banners, flags, and Salvadoran artwork that give it a festive feel. It’s a simple, casual spot but feels very inviting and family-friendly.“

“Never disappointed with the food and service“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! I don’t ever order Pupusas from anywhere else. They are a little slow so what I do is call ahead and place my order through the phone. They are cash only which is a bummer but that doesn’t stop me from ordering. My family and I can eat Pupusas every day and not get tired. Truly recommend!“

“If you're looking for a good bite this is the place to go. I had the opportunity to try Encina here and it was amazing. Back to the pupusas be patient as everything is made fresh. I ordered three beans and cheese a carne asada quesadilla and a taco sorry no pic of the taco. I will definitely be back. Sorry about the picture of pupusas my girl was digging in.“

“Our 1st visit here and the food was very filling and delicious. 😋 It was definitely worth the money. I had ordered 3 pupusas filled with chicarron con queso (pork with cheese) it's paired with their slaw. Which is cabbage & carrots, onion lime. It was refreshing & fresh.“

“I have been coming here for a few months for dinner about once a week. Great Papusas, great service on Thomas Street. I will return if I'm back to Phoenix. Thanks for the memories Ladies and Gentlemen.“
