Salvadoran Restaurants near Burien, WA

“One of our favorite places to eat ever!! After trying many, many, many Pupusas elsewhere, we keep coming back here. The spinach Pupusas are my favorite, the melted cheese crust is the best! The server Luis is the best, so fast, nice and remembers you by name.“

“I can't wait to come back for another meal at Salva Mex! We had a really great experience. They serve dishes from Mexico and El Salvador for dine-in and takeout. There are familiar dishes like tacos and burritos but we went for their signature, pupusas, we ordered two of each kind! They were served with a cortido, a pickled slaw with a zesty flavor that perfectly compliments a pupusa. I LOVE the cortido here, wow! We ordered a plate of rice and beans to go along with them and of course and a plate of fried plantains which added the perfect sweetness to the meal. I like the beans in the style of El Salvador, they're almost like a flavorful puree. We washed it all down with a cold horchata and walked out with leftovers that kept well. We decided to dine in because the service and vibes were good and there was this row of big cozy booths in front of the floor to ceiling windows off Ambaum.(Note: There used to be two restaurants in Burien named Salva Mex, both on Ambaum but the one by Dairy Queen has closed(It is now Tacos El Hass). This Salva Mex was open on Friday night when we went and it is next door to Elmer's Bar & Grill/Burien C.A.R.E.S.)“

“El callejón is a hidden gem! The food is incredible, packed with authentic Latin flavors that will leave your taste buds craving more.From the tender churrasco and the best empanadas to the refreshing ceviche,every dish is a culinary masterpiece. My fav is the Chaufa rice. ?? ❤️As night falls, El Callejón transforms into a lively Latin bar, filled with salsa and reggaeton beats. Whether you're craving delicious food or a night of dancing, it's the perfect spot for an unforgettable experience!Me encanta es mi spot favorito sin duda ❤️“

“Visiting Seattle for the first time , this restaurant was only 4 minutes away from our hotel. La comida excellente, Los tamales estaban tan deliciosos y tambien las pupusas ??? definitely recommend if you're looking for some comfort Latin “

“I’ve lived down the street from this spot for 10 years. When they first popped up I was so excited! Their food is incredible. I have their number saved in my phone as well as their Pupusa menu. My favorite is the pork cheese and bean! The people who leave bad reviews is because they order at the truck. They’re always busy and usually a 15-25 minute wait. I always call ahead and pick em up right when I get there. They’re busy because their food is so good! I’ve recommended to so many people and show friends this spot who haven’t had Pupusas before! Their other food is bomb too!“

“I ordered 4 pupusas, let me tell you that they were so delicious. I will go back and order again. First time ordering from here and by far they are the best I have had. Thank you. Sorry I did not take a picture but I ordered the cheese and pork.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so friendly.“

“I love this place! The food never disappoints. The tres leches cake are so good. I don't like cake, but theirs is the only cake I will eat. The pupusas taste home made. This isn't fast food, and they are made to order, so there is a wait time. You can pass the time by ordering from their pastry case to snack on. Lots to choose from. If in a hurry, I suggest ordering ahead online. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is friendly. Cheers!“
