El Salvadoreno offers great customer service, good food, and a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant has a small parking area, and there may be an extra charge for curtido. It is very clean, including the bathrooms, and the waiters are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, making it a popular spot for repeat visits. Guests often enjoy drinks like the chocolate horchata, and the tamal Salvadoreno with beef is noted for its delicious spices. The homemade salsa is highly praised. Food preparation can be slow during peak hours, with wait times up to 45 minutes, but many believe it’s worth the wait. A pupusa is a must every time, with popular fillings including pork, cheese, and bean. Other recommended dishes are casamiento, bistec encebollado, salpicón, yucca frita y chicharrón, and bistec ranchero. Overall, El Salvadoreno is a place that customers enjoy and look forward to returning to.
