Roots Food Artisans — Restaurant in San Salvador

This place was so satisfying. We were super hungry and looking for a healthier option and couldn’t have chosen a better spot for a quick lunch.

We had the quinoa bowl and the salmon sandwich. The grain/salad bowl was not tossed, dressing was served on the side, and I initially was disappointed but it was quick and easy to do it myself since they served it in the right type of large bowl that allowed for proper mixing and I was able to control how much dressing I wanted so it was a good thing in the end. The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy and very tasty. The dressing was tasty as well and they served plenty, more than I needed. The salad greens were fresh and the grape tomatoes were very tasty. The smoked salmon sandwich was good too, the bread was rustic and super fresh. I also had a white sangria, which could have been better for the price but overall we left very satisfied.

The waiter was very friendly and attentive. He gave us great information on where to park for our afternoon sightseeing.

They have a full menu and I haven’t eaten a bad plate yet. For a place with a wide spread menu, it’s rare to see that they hit the mark with everything from burgers/ pasta to bowls and steaks. Haven’t tried desserts yet.

There are two minor issues depending on who you are. The service is slow but the staff always have a great attitude and are very friendly. The other is the parking because spots are few and doubled up.

Still…....

I ordered a tuna poquebowl, I was expecting to get a fresh tuna but instead I got old tuna fish. Also the dish was quite expensive for the amount of tune I got, it didn't have that natural red color that tuna fish must have instead It was grey and burn because of the cold of the freezer with and old flavor. Very disappointed, I also ask for the wi fi and he told me ok I will come back, he...
