We had a craving for Salvadorian food, and this restaurant delivered! We shared a few dishes, starting with the Empanadas de Plátanos con Frijoles and Yuca con Todo. It was my first time trying the empanadas, and while they were tasty, I think I'd prefer them with poliada instead of beans next time. I opted for the Gallina India sopa since I was feeling a bit under the weather. It came with a generous bowl of soup, chicken, handmade tortillas, rice, and a side of veggies. The soup was packed with veggies and it hit the spot, though the chicken was on the dry side. I also tried some of my boyfriend's pupusas, and they were fantastic - perfectly sized and delicious!
During a vacation in Northern California, I was craving pupusas and was recommended this spot. I must say, for the price, this place is awesome! I had previously purchased pupusas elsewhere for $5 each, and they were small. Here, I ordered three pupusas, and they filled me up completely. I know I will be back. I ordered Loroco and Revueltas pupusas, and they were fantastic. The horchata was delicious as well.
First time here, I came here to try the corn atole, not disappointed although they brought it after our food even though it was the first thing we ordered it was delicious; however the pupusas weren't that good, I had much better in other restaurants. Customer service was ok, the restaurant is clean and there's parking in the back. They have a huge selection of food if you don't like pupusas.
Excelente Salvadori and food the best in the area in Clayton California. The service absolutely delicious and the chicken empanadas they're out of this world. I totally recommend it
I totally recommend this place tilapia it's crispy and juicy and the empanadas are so delicious
Before trying this spot, I've heard that the best Salvadoran food that one could get in the Bay Area is in San Francisco. At first, I had concerns about the quality of Salvadoran food in Concord, however, I'm glad that I took the chance. On a Tuesday morning, my girl friend and I dined in. As I walked in, I noticed the homey atmosphere of the restaurant. During our visit, the server was a young gentleman. Before ordering the food, we were asked about our drink orders. For our drinks, my girl friend and I opted for horchatas. What sets El Salvador's horchata apart from Mexico's is that Salvadoran horchata contains morro seeds. So, this drink resembled chocolate milk but I was surprised by its natural flavor. Furthermore, we ordered appetizers to share such as Tamal de Elote con Crema and Pasteles with carne. Although the Tamal de Elote aka sweet corn tamales are usually served steamed, I requested "frito" (fried style), and it didn't disappoint! I also loved the pasteles, which are these mini fried meat pies. Next, I ordered Pupusas Revueltas that consisted of pork, beans, and cheese. I loved how the exterior was crispy and not doughy. Additionally, my friend was a fan of the crispy cheese on the edge of the pupusas. Then, the server brought out the last dish which was the Bistec Encebollado. I think the stars of this plate were the meat and the beans. But, I wished the onions were more caramelized since some onion pieces were too overpowering. Besides that, I was pleased with my brunch. Thus, I would return to this spot when I'm in the mood for pupusas and I'm also open to trying the Salvadoran style breakfast on a future visit.
I frequently order pupusas with various stuffing.. cheese only, pork only, pork and cheese etc. the portions are big and tasty. Since Covid I strictly order for pick up with food being ready in 20 to 30 minutes. It's close to home and beats driving all the way to San Francisco.
Service is always good for us. We talk with all staff. They are nice. Ambiance is salvi, table chair sitting. They have salvi merch on sale. Food is the best so many salvi choices. We come every time we can. I love their chicharron con queso pupusas, their chorizo with homemade tortillas are a must to go.
I come here for the pupusas! I give this place a 5/5 for its delicious pupusas. I usually order cheese or beans and cheese and they always taste amazing. The pupusas are a good size and not as expensive as other places. I've also had their Atol de Elote during winter and it is always good! My only problem here is that they sometimes don't answer the home. I have to call several times before someone answers and sometimes they don't pick up. Other than that once I place an order, the food is ready fast, the staff is friendly and the location has a private parking lot in the back.
