El Cuzcatlan — Restaurant in Houston

This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant offering the freshest and best tasting variety of Central American cuisine.

The place is well kept and clean and the seating has been adjusted for appropriate social distancing. The service is excellent with the staff being very helpful in explaining dishes and making recommendations.

The food takes a little longer to reach your table as it is cooked fresh at the time you order. The seasonings and flavors are just right and warmly embrace the palate. The meats are well prepared for texture and taste. There is a large selection of meat dishes, soups, salads, papusas, huevos plates and Mexican dishes from which to choose.

Then you can easily share a cornucopia of tastes around the table and each have enough left over for a tasty take home meal.

The prices are very reasonable and there is an excellent assortment of freshly made beverages to satiate your thirst and...

Hubby and I were looking desperately for a good place to eat some good pupusas (being in my week 14 of pregnancy this has become a little hard lately 😮‍💨😅) and we found this place on Maps.

A little advice to the owner or whoever managing their page and comments from reviews?

Just thank them and bye bye 👋 I’m sure you know you have a good team and a good service and good food of course! such as good loyal customers as well 😊 focus on that first 😉 rather than ONLY reply...

I'm giving an extra star for the nice waitress. But my cheese and loroco pupusa was crispy on the outside and the cheese inside didn't stretch. It wasn't melted. While it was a good size, that's not how a pupusa should be presented. I ordered a fruit salad drink. There was barely any chopped fruit. That's not what an "ensalada de fruta" drink should taste like. The music they play is salsa and somewhat loud for a restaurant. There is a full bar. The menu also has Honduran and Peruvian dishes. This is definitely not the place to have pupusas. There are plenty of other options in...
