Torogoz 43St — Restaurant in Houston

First time trying this place out and it was pleasant.

Service No one greets you when you enter and you seat yourself, which kind of typical for small Salvadorean restaurants. Place is clean and has high chairs and booster seats for kids. The ladies were a bit serious and the kind that leave you be once food is at the table. You have to get their attention if you need something.

Food The food in general is very tasty and reasonably priced for the portions. We ordered corn tamales and asked if they could be fried which they were able to do for us! Sooo good! They didn't come out oily either which was great. We ordered empanadas and they were good as well. The filling in them is different everywhere you go but it was enjoyable. We also ordered bean and cheese pupusas for my kids and they ate it up. They were good in flavor, on the bigger size, not greasy, not stingy on filling, and pretty balanced - as in not more cheese than beans or vice versa. My husband got combo number two and he liked it very much. It was surprisingly a very generous portion and was not able to finish it all. I ordered the chicken soup and a agua fresca. I loved the agua fresca! It was marañon flavor, which is the fruit that cashews grow on. I was disappointed on the soup though. It was very salty and the chicken typically is grilled and not fried. Had I paid attention that it was fried chicken I wouldn't have ordered it and opted for the beef soup.

Overall, I would definitely come back again and try out other food items. Their breakfast items are the classic Salvy meals and I would love to come...

I’ve tried their pupusas and are good, but their service sucks! They always take down orders and have been there multiple times that they don’t know who’s order is who’s. I spoke to owner directly and he hold me he would make sure my order was correct and he would pack it, since I told him this has happened before. Got there and they did not know what I was talking about and I mentioned I spoke to owner and girls mentioned he left....

Honest review, lady's in the back mean mugged me as soon as i came in and i feel like im disliked for being there. I ordered pupusas and it was nothing but dough and cheese barely any meat. Don't come here if you're looking for good pupusas, you wont find them here .

Honestamente, si quieres probar pupusas buenas, no vengas aqui. Pura masa y queso ....
