El Calentano Restaurant offers superb, fresh, made-to-order food in a welcoming and homely atmosphere. The staff is kind, beyond nice, and very friendly. The Chile Relleno is highly recommended, with a hearty, homestyle sauce. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and perfect for a pleasant dining experience. Customers have enjoyed a variety of dishes, including menudo served midweek, which was flavorful and delicious, surprising many who expected it only on weekends. The menu features traditional plates, Salvadoran specialties such as pupusas, platanos fritos, yuca frita con chicharron, and other tasty options like parrilladas and molcajetes. The Calentano plate, with carne asada, pollo, camarones, arroz, frijoles, and ensalada verde, is very filling and affordable. Pupusas served with curtido and red salsa are popular favorites. The restaurant is open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with indoor and outdoor seating and easy parking. The establishment also has a small parking lot in front. The decor includes a hat from the tierra caliente region in Mexico, reflecting their cultural roots. Overall, El Calentano Restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere.
