| - We first found out about El Pulgarcito through a GroupOn they had a while back and since I am always on the look out for any type of Carribean/Mexican/Central/South American food I was really excited to find this delicious Salvadoran spot. When driving down Central I usually stop at Three Amigos, so if it wasn't for the GroupOn I don't think I would've ever made it far enough to find this place.
Let me just start off by saying that we had to spend $35 for the deal, and between just two people it is nearly impossible to do that at this place. What made it even more difficult is the fact that they had a whole fried fish on special for $6.99 that day and I can never say no to fried fish when it comes whole! It came with a salad, rice, refried beans, and a homemade salsa and it was TO DIE FOR! This is the type of food us immigrants seek in the U.S. because one bite and we are instantly transported to a beach somewhere back in our country (mine is Venezuela!).
I don't remember what my husband ate, but we did get several types of pupusas, tacos, empanadas and other sides as well. I felt like we were at one of those Brazilian steakhouses where the food just keeps showing up at your table because to reach $35 we had to just keep ordering A LOT! Needless to say, we both went into food comas and were completely worthless the rest of the day, but it was totally worth it.
This is a really great place to try too because it has a huge variety of offering, not just Salvadoran food, but Mexican as well. They also have pictures on the menu so if you're not familiar with a specific dish it is easy to order from the pictures. El Pulgarcito offers friendly service and delicious food at incredibly low prices, there's not much else I look for in a restaurant!
