“I missed my train and needed to grab a bite to eat near Amtrak. This is one of the most incredible things I've ever eaten. It's right across the street. Staff was super friendly. I had a pork and a chicken pupusa and they were fantastic. Hope I miss my train again soon.“
“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.“
“This a great restaurant except the service! They just need more waitresses, we are literally waiting a while, when the food arrives it arrives at different times meanwhile mine is there the plate for my husband takes 15mins to arrive after! It’s just not polite to eat without my husband. I had to cancel my toddler order because we had finished eating and his plate was still coming. Overall good is delicious they just need to step it up with the service.“
“If you are looking for great authentic Salvadorian food like the kind you had from your auntie/Tia's house or your Mama who learned from your Grandmother's cooking skills, this is it; they have plenty of antojitos/ cravings to choose from. The food is always tasty; it's cooked to order; it usually takes about 20-30 minutes for the Ladies/cooks to prepare it for you, so call ahead or be patient. I like to order their soups chicken, beef, or sopa de Pata soup depending on what I'm craving; their portions are enough to share with three handmade corn tortillas pint of rice. Its location is not the best; however, if the food is excellent, I am there regardless of its location I'll add more pictures later“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Returned a second time and it was well worth it. The food is spot on. I really enjoyed the beef soup that was delightful! And our server was outstanding. Our food came out in a very good time. She returned several times to make sure everything was going well. Kudos to the food and service!“
“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.“
