“I stumbled upon this place randomly. My dad is Salvadoran and although my mom has learned to cook all of his favorite Salvadoran meals, he also sometimes likes to eat out and find a really good pupuseria! (Place where they sell pupusas). One day we were in the area and got lucky enough to find Plátano! This was one of our favorite local Salvadoran spots for a very long time. We went back to eat there more than a few times and although we haven't visited the area recently, I've been wanting to go back just to eat here! Their food tastes so authentic and delicious. Their drinks are rich and flavorful as well and my favorite dessert was of course the empanadas de plátano! (Plantain empanada). I wish there was more Salvadoran restaurants available, I also wish I lived closer to plátano to satisfy some cravings here and there. If you're in the area give them a visit. Expect friendly and attentive service, a clean restaurant, and the best darn Salvadoran food you'll try in Berkeley!“
“This was the cutest little spot! I believe this is a family owned business, and both the ladies working were SO sweet! I got chicken pupusas and they were sooo good!! Probably the best I've had! Not to mention, the prices were reasonable. This is 100% my go to pupuseria now. They even had this back from lg“
“Precious, authentic experience. Each dish is lovingly built using traditional recipes. We were just in El Salvador and the food at Popoca was better than anything we had there. The layers of flavors and textures were incredible and so was the presentation. Our server was kind and helpful. Bless this place and the people working there. It’s a labor of love.“
“Very tasty food, the attention being a small place is special, I feel at home, I am addicted to a good breakfast with Gallo pinto and plantains, this place makes it exquisite, the menu is simple, the place and especially the kitchen is very clean and the price of the food excellent.Just go you will not be disappointed.“
“Great restaurant (Fonda). The restaurant staff are very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. We order the pupusas with yucca and plantains. The pupisas were freshly made and delicious. Looking forward to try other dishes in my next visit. Highly recommended.“
“If you’re looking for a meal that feels like “homemade”, this is a great place to satisfy your craving. Staff seems energetic, polite and respectful, and they even ask if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients on the food you ask for which is not very common, that way they put your health first. Prices are reasonable and the taste is great. When you’re done eating your main meal, you can get some pastries right there as well and they’re worth it.“
“I love these pupusas!!! The cabbage slaw "Curtido" is divine, and the salsa just the same. I look forward to this treat every time it's brought to our work!! You can tell The owner Miguel, puts his heart into these dishes. Best pupusa in town!!“
“I found this cosy fusion salvadorean/ mexican restaurant on San Pablo avenue, they went the extra mile for a small mistake such as the wrong meat in the super burrito that my wife ordered, very tasty but the way, they gave the right order to go to my wife, this action see it on hotel or fancy restaurants, I tell you that They just impressed us, definitely we decided to go back to try out other items from the manu that already coughed our interests before they enhanced our experience.“
“Love this place!!!! The food is excellent. I've been here several times, and they did not disappoint. The Chica Chica Mirada, Mar y Terra ? it's excellent. I've dine-in, delivery, and take out - never disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
