Lunch Special #1 is my go-to. I get the pork, beans, & cheese + veggie & cheese pupusas :) comes with beans, plantains, and sour cream (which I usually omit.). ASK FOR EXTRA CURTIDO - thank me later! I always enjoy extraaa curtido (and extra salsa!)
The plantains are nicely caramelized and are soft to the touch, yet still manages to be firm enough to keep its' shape and is my fav thing ever! Mmm, I'm already thinking...read full review

Open during pandemic.
Street parking available.
Ordered food online and order was ready promptly.
Tried the #1 lunch special which includes 2 pupusas and bananas.
I've haven't eaten Salvadoran food much so it's a new experience.

Loved loved loved my camarones a la diabla plate! So much flavor with a kick of heat! And the sweet crispy and soft plantains, I dream about. I swear, I'm not being dramatic! So happy I tried Platano while I was visiting the Bay area. Excellent customer service. You also have the option to dine indoors or outdoors safely. Such a lovely meal! Highly recommend!
