El Norteno is a friendly and affordable restaurant that serves delicious and authentic El Salvadorean food. The chicken tacos and tamales are particularly praised for their moisture and flavor. The pupusas, made to order, are described as hot and delicious with the right proportion of masa to filling. The desayunos tipicos, served with a highly-raved-about crema, and the carne asada, which is flavorful even without sauce, are also popular choices. The staff is noted for their helpfulness, speed, and attentiveness, even while handling other tasks. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere and clean bathrooms. While it may not compare to a five-star restaurant or Los primos in laurel, it excels in providing authentic El Salvadorean food that is flavorful and delicious, making it worth repeat visits.
