  • 3.5 stars, this is one of the rare occasions I decided to round up instead of down. After having a couple of Papusas at restaurant #3 on Central during the art walk I had been meaning to get back and try some more stuff. So today I finally decide I am willing to make the drive over from Glendale and check the website and realize this location is really much closer. I gave up the opportunity to try the buffet, which is only at the #3 location, for the convenience of the shorter drive. This location is at the end of a strip mall in a part of town where English is not necessarily spoken or understood. I walk in to the well lit and brightly painted restaurant and am greeted by the waitress, bus person, cashier. It goes like this; her:Hola Me: Hi her: Habla Espanol o Ingles? me: I don't speak Spanish her: (look of horror in her eyes as she realizes we will not communicate well) Are you taking out or eating here? (In Spanish) me: (the only word I understood was aqui) I am eating here and points to row of tables. her: Waves me to toward a row of tables, obviously inviting me to pick one. She brings me a menu and points out the Papusas and I point to one of the entrees, not having read the descriptions, on the menu and ask of those things with the entrees are also Papusas and she informs me they are tortillas. I ordered onion chicken ($9.95)and a medium Horchata ($1.75). In El Salvador Horchata is made from Morro seed rather than rice which gives it a different flavor than the more common version found in Mexican places. Let me assure you it is still a tasty drink. I thought the chicken breast was a bit tough but it was quite tasty. The meal comes with rice, beans and tortillas all of which are different than their Mexican counterparts. The tortillas are the same biscuity type used to make Papusas and are really great at sopping up the juices from the onions and sauce. I left full and happy. I never heard a word of English spoken in the building but it did not provide any barriers to ordering/eating. We each understood just enough of each others language to communicate. When I went to pay the bill there was a manager in the door way to the kitchen and it was my guess she was bi-lingual and could have translated. There was a steady usage of about 4-5 tables the whole time. While Salvadoran food is not real common in the states it certainly rates an additional choice to add to the list of ethnic restaurant options. And it is affordable. There were several items on the menu without meat. If you are gong to use an online menu the PDF version is much more accurate as to description but you will want to print it out as it is sideways on the monitor.
