El Quetzal Restaurant & Bakery — Restaurant in Carthage

First time there and didn't know where I was supposed to order. Lady at the counter wasn't very friendly, maybe it was the language barrier, but I got the feeling she really didn't care if I ate there or not. I sat down in the restaurant area and after no one came to take my order I went to the front counter and told them what I wanted, the lady picks up the phone and calls the back. I ordered the Garnachas with asada, as I wanted to try something different. Its basically nachos on miniature corn tortillas. The asada was over cooked and some pieces were tough.

The waitress/host/cashier, was very nice. Now, the selection of odds and ends its great, their bread section is not good for my diet. Great selection of bread. Will definitely come back but will be ordering...

I love this place. The food is so delicious. The atmosphere is not so great...bright green walls and you walk through the grocery store/bakery to get to the restaurant but I could care less...the food is soooo good. I love the pupusas and the fried plantains served with cream and beans. The green hot sauce is delicious and quite spicy. You can also order to take out...which I do but can barely get home with the food...it smells devine. So so much better than any of the so called Mexican restaurants around here. They serve Salvadoran and Mexican food. This is...
