Pupusería & Restaurant El Águila is a restaurant located near a school, known for its pupusas that are said to come close to homemade ones. The restaurant also offers after-hours entertainment. To-go orders are accurately prepared and properly packaged in environmentally friendly cartons. The interior appears to transform into a nightclub setting with a disco ball, and it is kept clean. The pupusas are large, but may contain a high proportion of beans. A plato mixto with two pupusas, rice, beans, and plantains costs around $17, and cookies are also available. Customers praise the delicious pupusas, including the chicharron, domino, and cheese only varieties, which are not greasy and just right. The selection of classic Salvadorean dishes, such as platanos, frijoles, and siete mares soup, is great, with many finding everything tasty. Some customers mention that the pupusas taste close to homemade, and the restaurant has a nice, atmospheric interior. While most staff are helpful and smiling, there was a report of a waitress with butterfly tattoos having a bad attitude. The restaurant also offers yuca fries and other sides, with to-go orders carefully packed and environmentally friendly. Some reviews note that the curtido can be too strong with vinegar, but overall, visitors enjoy the food and atmosphere.
