Tae Guk Gi Comida Coreana — Restaurant in San Salvador

As a seasoned traveler and connoisseur of fine dining, I had high hopes for Brutto, billed as a luxury restaurant in San Salvador. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations.

Let's start with the price tag. Brutto's menu boasts exorbitant prices that simply cannot be justified by the quality of the food. As someone who has dined at acclaimed establishments across Europe, the United States, and beyond, I can confidently say that Brutto's offerings pale in comparison.

The flavors of the dishes were lackluster at best, leaving me wondering if the chef had ever tasted true culinary excellence. It was reminiscent of the infamous Salt Bae phenomenon – all flash and flair with little substance or flavor to back it up.

While the ambiance of Brutto is pleasant enough and offers a decent view of the city, it does little to salvage the overall experience. Nice decor can only mask subpar cuisine...

The onigiri were absolutely delicious and the egg rolls as well. Service was excellent and we got our food quite fast and the place looks nice enough.

We wanted a light drink so we ordered lemonade with yerbabuena and it was awful, I'm pretty sure it was basically water, sugar, a little bit of lemon and old yerbabuena mashed in. The main dishes we got were Miso Soup and Udon Soup, these two dishes were terrible. The eggs in the Miso Soup were cold, probably cooked earlier in the day or more, the noodles felt mushy and old, the meat was OK though. The Udon soup was terrible and the noodles did not feel like they were fresh and it had a tangy, old fish taste to it.

I may be unfamiliar with the vibe of the place but the constant k-pop blasting on the TV was a bit annoying. I want to give it another try but and I will ask for what's...

Food 4/5 Speed 2/5 Service 3/5 Price 3/5 Probably arrived about 45 minutes to an hour before closing and there wasn't many people. Menu was a bit hard to find since you have to go to their Facebook Page without any help. At the moment of ordering, it seemed they have pretty much run out of a lot of items, so we had to change some items we originally wanted. Food took about 20 to 30 minutes to get to the table. Prices feel a bit high but not unbearable. Overall, we were not impressed by this place. Food variety is good and it has a good beverage selection, which would have been enjoyable if they had pretty much not ran out of...
