Taqueria El Carrizal is a beloved spot for delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine, offering a pleasant sit-down experience with a variety of good beverage options, including horchatas and papaya shakes. The kitchen is run by a female chef who prepares food lovingly by hand, ensuring that every dish is freshly made to order. The menu features a range of popular items, including pupusas, sweet plantains, and the Montanero, a personal favorite among customers. The pupusas are made with crunchy cheese and can be topped with red sauce and pickled cabbage. Additionally, the Salvadoran combo plate is a highlight, featuring a pupusa, tamale, and enchilada. The restaurant is known for its big portions of authentic Central American food at extremely reasonable prices. While the ambience may not be elaborate, the food is amazing, making Taqueria El Carrizal a must-visit for anyone seeking a home-cooked meal. Service is prompt, and customers have enjoyed flavorful dishes like the pork and steak tacos, leaving them eager to return and try the pupusas.
