Ilopango Salvadorean Grill — Restaurant in Nevada

I’m salvadorian and when I saw the menu items I was overjoyed as I don’t get to eat Salvadorian food regularly as I did in my childhood. We’ve been here twice. The first time, I will say the service took around 25 minutes.

The shrimp cocktail is super good. I like how generous they are with the shrimp. Both times I’ve gotten like 8-9 pieces. The second time they did tell me they were out of avocados but sadly they didn’t put the shrimp on top like they did the first time.

The pupusas are good. Not as good as the ones from El Salvador but honestly, haven’t come across any in the valley that compare. I like how they aren’t greasy and outrageously huge. The first time it was less doughy than the second. You’ll have to keep asking for curtido if you like a lot of it. I find they don’t give you enough. We ordered like 4. Always happy to see queso con loroco on the menu. It’s my favorite.

Chicken tacos. According to husband good.

Breakfast plate. He wasn’t a fan. The picture on the menu pictures 3 eggs. He only got 2. He did not want to eat the crema.

Ok the meats. It’s a hard pass. The salpicon is hard but the rice is perfect. So freaking good!!

The meat special plate. She recommended it over the fish filet plate. Should have gone with the fish. The meat was hard and mostly fat. The plátanos were too mushy and greasy. The cheese was ok. The casamiento was not good. The rice and beans were hard and over fried/cooked.

Overall the service was really good. They gave us beans and nachos for our baby to eat while we waited. They would stop several times to ask if we needed anything.

One last call out I had that bothered me was that the server gave my husband my pupusa on his plate. He got like 2 big bites out of it. She came and was like. “Darn I messed up. Gave him yours. But he only got One bite and he is your husband right?” Honestly I should have spoken up and gotten a new one and they should have let us kept the one they messed up on and still given my husband his.

The place is kind of empty for the most part. They play salvadorian oldies...

Food was okay. Waitress was extremely rude. I am white and my husband is Mexican.waitress refused to speak to me. Always directed questions to my husband only. I speak and understand Spanish and would answer when she would direct questions to my husband but every time she would completely ignore me. it was a Saturday evening and we were the only customers in there. If you expect to make it in the restaurant business, you might want to give better service. Not once did she come around and ask us if the food was OK she only came at the end when she knew it was time to give us the check to ask if the food was OK. But she passed by our table several times without saying a word. I asked for a to go box which she gave me and I was gonna take the rest of the cabbage and some sauce for my pupusa, but she picked up both items and took them to the back. I did not want to leave her a tip, but my husband insisted we should. There’s plenty of other places in town that serve this type of food and we will happily give our money to another restaurant that is interested in keeping their customers. There’s plenty of restaurants in Vegas And lots of competition. Don’t assume because somebody is white that they don’t understand Spanish. You can speak to both the husband & wife at a table. You don’t direct all questions and eye contact to only the husband.Very quick way to loose business and your tip. We will...

My first experience with Salvadoran food and I enjoyed it. Ilopango is somwhat hidden from Flamingo and you dont see it until you actually get into the parking lot. The restaurant js in a strip mall and while the dining room is plain and somewhat bland, the food was wholesome, presented well, with exceptional flavor, and served with a smile. The meal is extensive and both breakfast and lunch/dinner options are available. Sadly, I was by myself for this meal and was unable to explore the menu further. I had the Salpicon, a beef dish. Very tasty served with rice and a salad. Aside from lacking a dressing, the meal was first rate with pupusas on the side. They also offer pupusas for .99 to go most of the day. I'll definitely be...
