El Carbonero Restaurant Y Pupuseria — Restaurant in Amarillo

A friend suggested this place, so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered a jalapeno and queso pupusa and Salvadorian fajitas with corn tortillas.

The pupusa was surprisingly big and filling, loaded with jalapeno and cheese. It was soft and absolutely delicious!

The fajitas were a combination of shrimp, chicken, steak, pork chop, and sausage, with LOTS of veggies. The meat was wonderfully flavored and tender. I was pleasantly surprised by the tortillas, as they were thick corn tortillas...they were a little on the dry side, so not so great to fold, but still had excellent flavor.

The salsa was on the wimpy side. But you can ask for "mas picante" and they will bring you out a sauce that is pretty much pure Chile.

The prices were a bit on the higher end. The pupusa were $3.50 each, which isn't bad. But the fajitas were over $20 for one person. However, I managed to make three meals out of it!

HIGHLY...

I went to eat to this place this evening, my order was a Mariscado Salvadoreńa (coconut soup) and as everyone can see is missing the most notable thing on the plate as you can see in the menu picture, besides that, there was no taste to coconut whatsoever and only came with 2 shrimps 1 small piece of fish and 2 oysters. I did ate all 5 pieces but nothing esle. I explained to the waitress and they offered me another soup but I didn't want to waist more time for something so miserable like that soup. So I paid for it and took off never to come back to this...
