El Salvador Restaurant

So I dined and last week and again, I am happy. I did only order appetizers because that is what I love and I wasn't being very adventurous but they filled me up.

Two horchatas later and the excitement from seeing others order the stuff lobster and disappointment I hadn't, left me extremely satisfied. The other ladies who joined me were happy with their meals as well and couldn't believe how such a small place on the outside had such amazing flavor and great food on the inside.

I promise, the next time I go back I will order something different. Not saying I still won't get my pupusas and tamales to go but I will definitely order a different dish. Maybe even entree

compré 12 Ostiones y solo me dan 2 limones es muy caro y no dan nada con que acompañarlo, pedí 2 sopas de Res y solo me dan una tortilla de harina no me parece que valga la pena sin ningun sabor de más pero no me dieron ni sal

Great food
I will definitely be back. After I ate the food in my car and I ate the rest when I got home.

TLDR: delicious casual Salvadoran food! This spot deserves more love in Baltimore.

FOOD
I've never had any major complaints about the food. Honestly, not sure about the authenticity but to me, it tastes pretty legit.

My go tos:
-Yucca con chicharron: honestly, sometimes the chicharron is slightly dry but I still get it every single time. I just love it that much (plus, where else will you get it in Baltimore). This dish is definitely better fresh in store though as the yucca can get soggy when taken out.

-Platos Tipicos: The steak is also sometimes slightly dry but I usually expect that from places. Overall, great way to sample the different foods and I usually leave with leftovers. The corn tamale is my absolute favorite as a fellow corn lover.

PARKING: usually plenty of street parking. The outside might look a little rundown to some, but I've never had any problems.

SERVICE: Everyone's always so nice! Most staff are definitely more comfortable in Spanish but you'll have no problems if you can't speak Spanish. They also basically let you sit anywhere.

The staff was attentive and super friendly. It's a cute restaurant with great tasting food. If you're reading this, YOU MUST TRY!

The food is okay. I had pupusas and they taste alright although I had better ones. The service is okay as well. It took a while to get our food and the bill but staff is nice.

This isn't like some fancy restaurant. This is a nice, homemade food type of place. As in, this taste like something from your abuelas house. Which I personally enjoy but perhaps others would not!
Portions: Medium - Large
Dishes: Chicken Tamales and Pupusa

The best Latino food in Baltimore City without a doubt. Very homey and comfortable atmosphere and services, awesome delicious food at large amount with good (almost on the cheap side) price. Salsa that came with the complimentary chip sets the right start to what's coming up. Chicken soup is hearty and has large amount of vegetables and meat (1 whole breast & 1 whole wing). Plate combo has greatness of everything: perfectly fried plantain and corn bread, soft chewy steamed tamale fully stuffed with bean and pork, super tasty aide rice and beans, warm and fluffy tortilla, and the most tasty beef. Rice pudding is just the right finish to all the great flavors. I left the hat on the seat and the staff ran out and gave it to me before we drove away, I am very thankful for that kindness!

Delicious! The staff were all wonderful and seemed to be very happy - smiling, laughing. It was a great experience. :)

Excellent service and tasty food. The are plenty of tables and it was clean. It is not very crowded which I loved.
