First let me say I have had no experience with El salvador food, but have heard good reviews about it. It may be that it is just not my taste. I want to just base it on preparations and quality of the food. I had the pupusas which is the signature dish I was told in their country. To be honest, it seems like a quesadilla to me except the tortilla is different in texture, mine was a little grainy almost like corn meal. I ordered chicken, beef and just cheese. The chicken and beef had very little chicken or beef and mostly you taste the beans and cheese. Really had no flavor to them except the cheese. The cheese pupusas was exactly like a cheese quesadilla because had no beans in it and except for the texture, It would be a quesadilla. The salsa is very thin and a liquid like water. It really had no strong taste like a regular salsa. the topping of cabbage was okay, like a slaw of some sort. The sides were rice and beans which was really bland and I only had a couple of bites of it.
The other item I tried was the pastelitos with steak. The outside was so greasy, I could not even swallowed it. I dried them off with 5 to 6 napkins before I could take another bite and it was so bland and dry, no seasoning at all and just tasted the oil and probably old oil at that .
I don't think I would go here again, but maybe I will try the food maybe another dish or dishes, but again maybe it is just not my cup of tea but the quality of the food seems pretty plain or subpar.
