“un servicio incomparable“

“Great fish tacos and the carryout margaritas were awesome and very reasonable priced“

“I'm going to give them 5 Stars but in reality I give them 3. I don't want their score on Google to go down... but if I want to leave them a message with the best intentions, whenever I call to order it's not on time, when I enter the restaurant it seems that They are notified that I have already arrived for my order and until then they begin to do it, the pick-up time that they tell me on the phone is the same as what I do when I arrive and I sit down to wait. Delicious pupusas, tamales... the pastries... super clean and super friendly. I like to go to their restaurant a lot.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Salvadoran food in Charlotte, El Pulgarcito De America on Central Ave is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming—simple, cozy, and focused on what really matters: great food and friendly service. It’s flavorful, affordable, and consistently satisfying.

The menu is packed with traditional favorites, but the standout dishes are definitely the pupusas—thick, handmade, and loaded with flavor. Whether you go for pork and cheese or try a combination plate with tamales and empanadas, everything is made fresh and comes in generous portions. The flan is also a must-try—rich, creamy, and the perfect way to end your meal.

The service is known for being kind and attentive, making you feel right at home whether it’s your first visit or your tenth.

Overall, El Pulgarcito De America is one of those places that might look modest from the outside but delivers big on taste and authenticity. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Central Ave area.“

“Eric was the nicest, efficient and helpful waiter during the FIFA WORLD CUP. The appetizer we ordered was fantastic. The staff for the whole restaurant was personable. I will be back soon. This was my first time at this restaurant. I really enjoyed how everyone was family. Thank you for a great experience for dinner and the soccer game.“

“This is one of those places where you know the food is going to be bomb. They usually have two individuals working the grill and taking orders. I have not had their tacos, but the burrito I had was delicious. Its a super convenient location (inside gas station), so you can fill up your gas tank, and have a wide variety of drinks to choose from.

I noticed they do not have their full menu online, so I snapped some shots of their current menu to share with all of society!

TL;DR Great place to fill up your gas tank and stomach!“

“Very nice place, and good service“

“The owners of this place is freaking awesome I love them!! Really good people and their TACOS!!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!“

“The food truck is located in the N. Charlotte Lowe's parking lot. 1100 Chancellor Park Dr 28213.The food is authentic and off the charts with a subtle intertwining of awesome deliciousness.You can not go wrong with anything that you order. Every single order is prepared fresh, right in front of you.The house sauces are all scratchmade, and Chef Rey is phenomenal behind that grill and a fantastic person as well. Both outgoing and gregarious.My personal favorite is the Cubano tortas. And it's served with some very nicely done French fries.So, if you're in the area, or even if you're not, take a drive, and give your taste buds a treat.If you took the time to read this review, please take a 1/2 second and click like. Thank you.“

It feels like a family feast. The attendants were amazing and friendly. I recommend the experience, and I'm definitely coming back here.🥰🥰👌👌👌👍👍👍“

“Been eating since 2015 at least, first time Employe told me if you don’t speak Spanish don’t come back.. this is not English restaurant! should be addressed. We eat there all the time but this will not cut it“

“good food and good price“

“Let me tell you about the best server ever.
I lost my phone in Charlotte and and Uber driver that didn’t speak English found it walking down the road. Since he only spoke Spanish I went to the bar and Nohemi not only talked to him she negotiated the return of my phone. NOT ONLY THAT. She came out side in the 22 degree weather to help me translate with the guy!
If you come here ask for her, take care of her ,
My faith in humanity is restored!!!!
Thank you Nohemi!!!“

“The food was so good!! The people who worked here were fabulous! We’ll be back!“

“I had heard great things about this place and visiting for the first time confirmed why! I went with a friend for a girls night, we ordered the tasting menu. Everything was amazing, plus they went out of their way to accommodate a no red meat option for us. Drinks were fabulous and atmosphere delivered. 100% recommend.“

“THE FREAKING FOOD GETS 10 STARS!! The Yuca was perfect the rice was perfect and the steak was so perfect I did not even need to add salt. I ate here twice in 1 day I was sooo happy. Downside it was a little hot in there but I will go back again I think the a/c was being repaired“
