Our first time here, and we’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent with generous portions, and the service went above and beyond. The place is beautifully decorated. I especially loved the mural and the fun message boards throughout. It wasn’t loud, which made it perfect for great conversation during dinner.
We also picked up some bakery items to go, and they were absolutely delicious. We came on a Saturday night as a group of six and didn’t have to wait long at all. Overall, a fantastic experience!

I went to have dinner at Restaurante Salvadoreño Las Canastillas. I usually order the pupusa de chicharrón, but this time I had the steak with white rice, which was cooked well-done and very tasty. My boyfriend ordered the breaded chicken with white rice and beans, and he enjoyed his meal too. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes it a great place for a date it’s not too loud, and there’s a lot of fun, colorful art on the walls that adds to the experience.

I stopped for dining to try some authentic Salvadoran food. The restaurant stands out with its colorful murals and Salvadoran sayings inside and outside, giving it a cultural and welcoming vibe.

Parking is a bit limited, but if you’re lucky you’ll find a spot. When I visited, the place was full always a good sign.

I tried four pupusas: cheese, loroco with cheese, chipilín with cheese, and jalapeño with cheese. The loroco pupusa was my favorite, the cheese was delicious, and the jalapeño had a mild spice that was enjoyable. The chipilín was new for me not my favorite flavor, but I appreciated trying something authentic.

The cashew (Marañón ) drink was refreshing and not too sweet, and I finished with a nice cup of coffee.

The atmosphere was a highlight: soft music in the background makes it perfect for conversation, and on Fridays after 7 PM, they host live shows that bring more energy to the space. Service was excellent the waitress was friendly, attentive, and patient while explaining dishes information of the restaurant.

Overall, a spot I’d recommend for anyone looking for authentic Salvadoran flavors in a cultural and family-friendly setting. I’ll definitely be back to try the soups next time.

Tuve la oportunidad de visitar este restaurante y debo decir que fue una experiencia excepcional de principio a fin. Desde el ambiente acogedor hasta la atención impecable del personal, todo contribuyó a una velada memorable. La calidad de la comida fue simplemente espectacular. Probé platos como el ceviche, sopa de gallina y las ricas pupusas de FQ y ambos estaban perfectamente sazonados, frescos y presentados con un toque artístico. Se nota el cuidado en la selección de ingredientes y el respeto por los sabores auténticos. El servicio fue atento y cordial, siempre dispuestos a recomendar opciones según nuestros gustos y a asegurarse de que todo estuviera a nuestro gusto. Recomiendo este lugar sin dudarlo, tanto para una salida casual como para una ocasión especial. Es de esos sitios a los que uno quiere volver, no solo por lo bien que se come, sino por la experiencia completa que ofrece.
