El Pulgarcito de America #2 — Restaurant in Abilene

This is an authentic place that has the best aroma of spices in the air I have ever had the pleasure of walking into created by awesome Wait staff that make you feel right at home. They are attentive and make sure that food is to your liking and exactly how you want it. This is a quaint place that is not overcrowded and not noisy. I have enjoyed A little bit of everything from each section of the menu of the times that I have been there. Be prepared to have consistent, well seasoned and healthy portions. You definitely want to start off with they're perfectly paired appetizer plates while you relax and enjoy good conversation with friends and family. The all the plates are amazing, tasty and very filling reminding me of my granny and how she used to make sure I had plenty and that I was full. A place with great perfectly cooked foods, Loroco Flower was divine. T h e Salvadorian cream pairs exquisitely with the plantains and has a special place in my heart. I always need a to-go box because the plates are so well portioned that I always make it a snack for later, reliving the experience all over again. The whole place is clean and sanitized making this a cozy hidden gem and a place to get away from overcrowding and noise leaving you to enjoy yourselves...

Please see edit below, this original was a year ago. The carne guisada burrito was very tender and flavor was spot on, salsa was also so delicious, and nice and hot. Gave them a 4 originally.

Edit from a year ago. The carne guisada burrito meat tasted like it had turned, was sour and the gravy was not flavored well, only ate one bite because I couldn't stomach it. Tortillas were really good though, barbacoa was good. Salsa tasted like they used canned tomatoes, not what I remember from last time. Pupusa was hard and dry outside and not what we ordered inside (was bean and cheese instead of pork and cheese). Plantains were good, tamales on the combination plate were acceptable. Everything else (rice, beans) was just like all the other so so restaurans in town. Was a little disappointed that I took my mother there from out of town. She is the best cook when it comes to Hispanic dishes and this was no where near her level. Service was very slow considering we were the only ones there that had ordered. Dining room...

el pulgarcito de america #2 It was our first time going there and our experience was professional at all, they took bout 30 minutes to take our drink order, then another 15-30 minutes to take our order.. the hamburger came with queso sauce not slice cheese they put mayo on which wasn't on the menu or details of the burger when ask to replace the burger because i have a person allergic to mayo she got an attitude and said next time we need say something if on the menu it dont say it comes with mayo all they did was replaced the buns n veggies make us take the patty out the other burger didnt even give the bacon.. they never came to refill our drinks or really check on us.. rushed us out with to go boxes.. very upsetting!!!
