We are a family owned restaurant specializing in home-style cooking from El Salvador and Central America. Our recipes trace back to our homeland of El Salvador where “Niña Martha” became known by her community for her delicious chicken tamales, fresh green corn tamales and various other homemade meals that she would send her daughter Miriam to deliver to the workers at the “fincas”, the fields of coffee beans and corn. After relocating to Arizona, in 2002, the family opened up their first location in Mesa, AZ. Fast forward to 2021, the business has grown to 2 locations in Phoenix, 2 in Mesa, 1 in El Mirage, 1 in California and a new location opening in 2022. So anywhere you are in The Valley, you are sure to find that authentic cooking from El Salvador and our famous pupusas!
Honestly the food was great! But the sad part is how Loooong they take. No one is really available to take your order for one and then once you place your order it’s about a 30 minute wait. Then on top of that I ordered some things for take out and that was an additional 30 minutes. It’s sad because if they were any quicker this place would have some potential!!
Friendly environment and food was delicious
Steam table has a fully loaded fried rice that is to die for. I loved everything and management aims to please
Delicious!!😋we try popusas and sopa de mariscos, that have a lot seafood and very good prices 👌 👍
EL SALVADOR 🇸🇻
Excerpt from Eat the World NYC:
Quietly over the past decade or so, in addition to a few restaurants here and there, Central American-owned businesses have popped up offering money transfers and other services, and almost every Mexican grocery made sure to stock the goods that Guatemalans and Salvadorans were looking for to fill their homes.As Industry City attempts to mine the neighborhood for profit and give nothing in return except to those already privileged, Sunset Park's thriving communities continue to say no and show there is another way. EL SALVADORin is not only a bustling restaurant with an expansive menu, it stocks products from the country and coffees from the region.
A vegetarian's dream!!! They have nearly a dozen vegetarian popusas and nearly as many vegan options!
My husband and I both ordered the three popusas combo with a side of platanos y beans/rice[also vegan]. The popusas are HUGE! We both took at least one home with us.
The only thing I'll add, and this is by no means a negative critique. If you like spicy salsas/hot sauce, you might want to bring a bottle of it with you. Salvadorian cooking is generally not known for being spicy. Next trip, we'll probably bring a bottle of Red & Green Tobasco with us.
We are vegetarian foodies. If you're vegetarian or vegan you know how difficult it is to be one. We both whole heartedly recommended Salvadoreño Restaurant - 5!
