My recent dining experience at Restaurante El Salvador left me with a blend of disappointment and concern, primarily stemming from the combination of average food quality, high pricing, and noticeable cleanliness issues. The nuances of this experience prompted a reflection on both the aspects that were lacking and those that may have potential for improvement.Beginning with the culinary aspect, the food at Restaurante El Salvador was, at best, average. While it showcased traditional flavors, the execution and presentation did not reach the level of distinction that one might expect, especially considering the pricing. The menu, while offering a range of Salvadoran dishes, lacked the depth of flavor and culinary finesse that could justify the relatively high costs associated with the dining experience.Speaking of which, the pricing at Restaurante El Salvador was notably on the higher side. The value proposition, when considering the quality of the food, left much to be desired. Patrons may rightfully expect a correlation between the cost of their dining experience and the quality of the culinary offerings, and in this case, the balance appeared skewed.One of the most significant concerns was the cleanliness of the establishment. The overall tidiness of the restaurant, including the dining area and tables, fell notably short of expectations. However, the most concerning aspect was the state of the restroom facilities. Clean and well-maintained restrooms are imperative for a positive dining experience, and in this instance, the visible lapses in cleanliness not only impacted the overall ambiance but also raised questions about the hygiene standards of the restaurant.Despite these challenges, it is important to acknowledge the friendly demeanor of the staff, which added a positive dimension to the visit. Their customer service approach created a somewhat welcoming atmosphere despite the cleanliness concerns.In conclusion, Restaurante El Salvador presented a dining experience marked by average food quality, high pricing, and notable cleanliness issues. Addressing these concerns, particularly in terms of improving the culinary offerings and maintaining higher cleanliness standards, would be pivotal for the restaurant to enhance its overall appeal and provide a more satisfying dining experience for patrons. The potential for improvement is evident, and with strategic enhancements, Restaurante El Salvador could transform into a more competitive player in the dining landscape.

I'm giving one star because I can't do less. The worst place I've been, the pupusas are raw, the waitress is very rude, my husband's roast beef was raw, it takes a long time to serve the food and the dishes are incomplete, in short, bad service.

I do not recommend this place I bought 3 scrambled pupusas and when I was eating them I found two hairs in the middle of the pupusa and the poorly made pupusas They should hire someone who can make pupusas and I could not return to complain because I live far from there!!

They are scammers, they charge you even for the music, the horchatas are small and they are very expensive, we ordered and we ordered 13 pupusas and 7 horchatas and they charged them 103 dollars very expensive, don't go there

The food was not good, I ordered a beef soup and it tasted like pure water. We also waited an hour for the food and the lady who served is a little heavy, I don't recommend it! The price is not worth it for the food! I couldn't eat the food, it was very bad. The lady is very terrible and you ask her something and she comes out pedantic, I really don't recommend her, the rice was heated, the beans were also bad, terrible service!I don't recommend this restaurant the food didn't taste good I order a soup and it taste like water the waitress was rude and we waited almost an hour for the food!
