As a Salvadoran I am ashame of this restaurant. The pupusas were not good at all. Specially the curtido and salsa, they use tomato can soup nasty. They charged me $1 for tap water had i know I would had just paid for the refill of horchata lastly they added gratuity for a party of 2 people needless to say never eating here again.

Found this lovely new restaurant by accident. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners who are also the cooks, receptionist , servers etc etc. This is a family owned business.i learned a little bit about the history on opening the restaurant and found out the owners chose not to sell alcohol for the safety of their guests, customers ; however , the (wife) wanted the look of bar so people could still have the freedom of seating at the bar, to chat with others while waiting for a non alcoholic beverage, an amazing shake or perhaps just eat at the bar like I did without drinking alcohol. I found this concept brave as they know their sells would not be the same without selling alcohol. The family works here, daughter and son, husband and wife. When I visited, the place was opened for about 3 months. I really enjoyed my soups and my shake. This place would also be perfect for small gatherings and events. It is a very large space. I wishA wonderful success to Emely’s restaurant and the entire family for offering Latin/Spanish food in beautiful Durham.

When I entering I'm like....Nice!( The ambience was very well put together)?Then a young gentleman came to the host desk. I informed him this was my first time here and attempted to ask him what various items were on the menu (most items are in Spanish) on which he could not explain and it seems like he was annoyed that I asked two questions. (Mine you... the two things that I wanted the gentleman stated "no one ever orders that" so he couldn't tell me how it tasted). So I ask what's their popular dish....he pointed put the pupusas. Another lady comes up to assist, she didn't speak to me she just said "is that it". I'm like yes... although I wanted to try more, their attitudes where a bit weird.... not welcoming at all. I waited over 30 minutes for a small to-go order and end up having to ask for a refund because when I asked how much longer would it be, they told me they "didn't know". They ended up only having 1 of 3 items I ordered ready which were the "pupusas". When I arrived home the pupusas were super basic....the presentation was wack! I feel that "to-go" orders still should be packaged nicely.... it shows that you care about the presentation of your food items...even for To-Go customers. The employees demeanor and knowledge of menu options for non-spanish speaking customers needs to improve. I was excited to see a new restaurant in that area but left disappointed. I'm all of second chances because maybe today was just a bad day for them.... so I'll try back again in a month or two.... hopefully management will get these glitches resolved.

The food has no flavor. My soupa de mariscos had no marisco, just crab and shrimp. My husband got the pollo con tajadas and it barely had pollo and it had no flavor and had like 4 pieces of pollo and the rest was tajadas. So disappointed.
