“ Best Salvadorian restaurant in Contra Costa County. Aside from their pupusas, their soups and entrees are absolutely amazing. Our go-to place whenever we're craving something that feels like home ”

“ It's a hidden gem with a spacious dining area and a laid-back vibe. Just walk in, grab a menu, and find a seat. Their menu has a lot of variety; I tried the queso con chicharrón, and yuca fries with chicharrón, and a Sprite. ”

“ I haven't eaten there lately just take out food, but their pupusas are the bomb and their curtido is on point. Take this from a native Salvadoran who knows about pupusas. Hope you visit soon and try them out! ”

“ Restaurante El Salvador has been here nearly 2 decades. Small dining area, sparse decor. 2 flatscreens showing soccer. Order at counter, pay, food brought to table. Same in 15ish minutes. Obviously made to order. Offerings: mariscos, domestic/imported beers, carne, pollo, sopas, appetizers, breakfast, pupusas, Sodas... Bites: plato tipico (17) "national plate" combo plate -big rice pupusas with revulta (mixed): queso, pork, beans fillings. Curtido slaw vinegary. Cutted with a knife. Yummy but messy. Pupusa fell apart. -big tamal with smooth masa, potato & chicken filling. Placed some curtido on top. Deliz. -plantains smooth texture slightly sweet fried banane -pastelito (baked puff pastry) flaky, sweet tasty -yuca con chiccarones: deep fried pork pieces-very dry, jerky quality. 4.5 stars nice combo to try many items. Steady flow of to go orders. Small parking lot. National Hispanic Heritage Month: 9/15-10/15/2024 ”

“ First time trying this place as delivery, and couldn't believe the low rating here on yelp :-( This is gorgeous food! I have no idea what it's like to dine-in, but my delivery experience was great. The pupusas are so yummy, great texture and a large variety of filling options (love loroco and cheese). The crema is awesome, perfect flavor and consistency, and so is the red sauce that goes with the pupusas. The plain corn tamales are also very good, slightly sweet, and w/ the red sauce and crema even better. The real surprise, though, were the plantains stuffed with beans, OMG, what a flavor combo. The cabbage side dish was plentiful and just right. I love how you can order a side of eggs, too. I hope they sort out whatever kinks caused them to have such a low rating, because the food is divine! ”

“ As a picky Salvi girl, I'm signing off on this place. I first tried their food at Concord's weekly summer market (they had a booth set up), and it was fantastic. We ordered 2 pupusas - one bean and cheese and another revuelta, pastelitos and empanadas de leche. The beans in the pupusas were super flavorful, and they had the right amount of toasting as. If you are familiar with pupusas, you know what I'm talking about. The empanadas were also great. The milk custard inside was the right thickness and the right sweetness. They didn't have sugar on the outside, but they didn't even need it. The pastelitos were also dope. I enjoyed my meal so much that I came back the next morning for breakfast. We got huevos con loroco and an order of platanos. Again, the refried beans were bangers and they actually use Salvadoran sour cream, so that's a huge plus. They also carry a good selection of Salvi beer and drinks, including horchata and cola champagne. ”
