This is exactly the kind of place we look for any time we travel. Unassuming, little place in a shopping mall. These are the hidden gems; and this place is ample proof of that.

We had to be down in the valley for some business. And we hadn’t had Salvadorian food in close to 20 years. (Long story)

So we did some looking around and found that this place was relatively close to our hotel. So we just had to!

The restaurant...
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...
The food is great! But it is not a fast dining experience by any means. Expect 5-10 minutes from time of entry to order. Anticipate 30-minutes minimum from order to food arrival. Then, add 10-15 minutes per party ahead of you in line.

For example, if you come in for Dinner and there are two couples waiting ahead of you, I would guess 20-minutes until you’ll get to order, then 40-minutes until your food will arrive, for a total of a 1-hour wait to eat.
