Salvadoran Restaurants near East Boston, MA

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“The food is very good and the waitresses' attention is excellent, we will return on our next bike to Boston.

Parking: On weekends you can park at the school, which is in front and there is no problem, or while the children are on vacation you can also park there.“

“Cabana lounge (second floor) is truly a hidden gem in East Boston. We definitely needed something like this around. The drinks were amazing, taste delicious & super pretty- thank you Kevin for crafting those amazing cocktails! The pupusas are also some of the best around. I can’t wait to be back already. My new go to lounge.“

“i've been ordering from here for about 6 months. the food is unmatched. everything made to order. my usual order: pupusas, gorditas, chincharron. the pupusas are HOT, to the point where you cant even pick it up, it's sooo fresh, light, delicious. 10/10
the gorditas are very generous, nice and hot 10/10
chincharron is always nice and crispy you can tell they just fried it. 10/10
and today i just ordered the sopa de camarones, i was thinking it was a small bowl and its a WHOLE big container, i'd say it's enough for 3 people if you pair it with the rice that it comes with (and 2 tortillas).
you CANT BEAT THIS PLACE!!!!!! the price is super fair, amazing portions, good service, amazing food. i've definitely ordered over 15 times, and it's always great. THANK YOU!!!!“

“I am not the person to be writing or giving an opinion on anything in any store but they never arrive. I write this not to offend or anything. I write it in a way so that they are aware and do not steal. For you, .15 cents is nothing, nor for me, but for someone else it may mean something.

My experience and what is happening with this business. They cook very delicious, I am clear about that, the flavor in the food is very good. The problem is that the first time I asked for the receipt and with itemized prices and I see that they charge me .15 for the bag, I said, that's fine because I need it and in some places they charge it. Today I'm going to pick up an order and I tell him I don't have a bag so he doesn't charge me for it and I ask for a receipt with the prices broken down, a girl tells me "take it because it was charged anyway" I tell her that it was charged if I said that I didn't love her.

They started telling me that the system charges it automatically, that the city hall charges taxes etc etc etc, a lot of excuses. I know they buy the bags but if I don't want it however I want they keep it, I don't steal it, and if I had to buy it I would buy it, that is not my regret. Gentlemen, the client has and should have the option to decide if he wants to pay the damned bag or not, not that they say that the system charges it automatically, it is a scam and a theft from the client. Because I know that .15 cents is nothing, but we have to be honest with customers and ask if they want the bag or not and that there is an additional cost even if it is an additional cent. A lady got angry and took out .15 to give me them and I didn't want them, I grabbed the bag and told her I'll take it because they charged for it anyway. That's not how you struggle. If they are going to charge for something, they should tell the client and let the person decide if they want it or not. Not just charge them and that's it. I come back and repeat, they cook very delicious, I recommend it but in that hidden charge that they don't say it is where I see the difference, without offending. And they will say, if you want to buy here, you should buy and if not go somewhere else, but we are talking about honesty above all. Something that they are failing a little.

Ahhh and about the service, one of them must learn to be a little more friendly and have good manners, because you as a representative within the establishment should be more friendly and attentive. In general, I recommend the food and its flavors are very delicious.“

“Warm hospitality you’d expect from a Cheers-like neighborhood bar where the staff knows your name & greets you with a smile Kudos to Jonathan for his kindness & recommending the Torta“

“The best in the Wakefield area!!“

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“Sabor Especial certainly hits the spot! It was a cozy place to stop in on a Sunday evening and enjoy some traditional Salvadoreño food & drink. 4 ’s revueltas, atol ? & freshly made horchata ?!Right under the bridge, plenty of parking. Easy access for those headed into Boston or North.Great place to try if your bored at the casino I must mention. It’s good to step out of your comfort zone. A lot of takeout being prepared here but feel free to eat inside and gather the whole experience hot fresh off the press.Follow @CH3BZ for more legendary reviews!“

“This place has the best pupusas in all of the Everett area. Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed. Everything on their specialties is really tasty. I have tried several of their menu items and all is well made, has good portion and feels homemade. A little jewel in a busy street, there's not many options for parking but they do take out, on demand. A great choice for anyone.“

“The food here is excellent. I always go with my family and I love it. It's a little further away today since I left East Boston but I always try to go. I love roast beef and pupusas. The service is always the most attentive and the atmosphere is excellent.“

“We ate here in June of 2024 and our kids are still talking about how great it was 8 months later. Eating there was their favorite thing we did in Boston.

Vegetarian options: The bean and cheese pupusas were fantastic!

Dietary restrictions: They were very friendly and willing to alter a plate to accommodate dairy-free for me.

Kid-friendliness: We brought 4 kids. They were really sweet to them.“

They Play such a big role in our community keeping our culture alive with authentic Latin American food . no matter what day /time/ or dish you order it will be worth it !!

“I don't speak Spanish and I'm very allergic to avocados. So generally when I try to order food in East Boston I'm a little nervous. But that won't stop me from having yummy food!The staff didn't speak English but I was able to order just fine.I got the shrimp burrito and 2 bean pupusas which were amazing. Perfect amount of spice. The staff followed my order and didn't include avocados. I'm alive and I got to have awesome food. Win win.“

“This place always been warm and welcoming they treat every customer as a family members. From the cook to service staff they are always amazing. The owner always come by always say hi to me even when he busy doing deliveries and doing takeout.the service is more like 10 out of 10 across the board. For people who think that delivery is part service it’s not. What does some uber eat person or DoorDash person have to with restaurant experience they are just person who does delivery so if they are late it’s on DoorDash or Uber eats. I been coming here for almost 7 years it’s been best place ever. Food is amazing. It taste good as it looks.“

“The pupusas are out of this world. I highly recommend this place to anyone who craves quality El Salvadorian cuisine.“
