Salvadorian Cuisine — Restaurant in Richardson

Me and my DFW Foodie Club ladies decided to try new cuisine once a month. And the choice was to start 2019 with Salvadorian cuisine.

Looked at the menu fornthe first time. the fried tilapia caught our attention rightaway. So did the seafood soup. We grew up in Indonesia where we were blessed with the abundance of seafoods. And spicy food. So, while the fried tilapia looks good, we asked if we can get the diablo sauce they put on the camarones. And they accomodate our request with no problem. Ehen the first sauce came out, we all agree that we need a much more kick tonit. Not hot enough for us lqdies. Requested more sauce and hotter this time. They again said no problem and acomplished to satisfied our request.

Everything were delicious. Really worth the drive for some of us. The place were not packed but it flows nonstop in and out.

We staryed with the appetizer sampler. Ee each like different pieces. The tamales in banana leaves was the one we all agreed upon. The best, it is moist, it's tasty. The pupusa, came with refried bean, crema and some coleslaw also 2 different salsas. I personally think it was a wonderful pupusas. Not bland, enough amount of seasoning, perfect texture, not dry, right amount of filling.

Now all of our entree.. Tilapia with the diablo sauce, while it was good, I like it a little more crispy. The rice was fluffy and not mushy. The seafood soup were wonderful, kind of hot and sour. We ordered without the cream and it reminded us of a seafood soup from one of the region in Indonesia.

Camarones and beef steak - bistek with diablo sauce are a nice option if you don't want to get your finger dirty. The steak was tender.

Fried chicken with rice and chicken soup. They looked like the dish our moms used to make back home.

All and all it was a great experience. Good food, wonderful service. I think they deserve a 5 stars. It's another Richardson,...

IF YOU WANT REAL GOOD SALVDORIAN FOOD GO TO ROSIS' PUPUSERIA. THEY HAVE TWO LOCATIONS. ONE IN GARLAND AND ONE IN MESQUITE. I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND THE MESQUITE LOCATION. THEIR FOOD IS AWESOME AND IT IS NOT COSTLY. THEY ARE ALL VERY NICE AND THEIR FAMOUS FOR THEIR PUPUSAS!! I WOULD GIVE SALVADORIAN CUISINE ZERO0 STARS IF I COULD.

Went to this restaurant this past weekend for the first time and I was very disappointed with their service. My family and I were going to put two tables together where there was not too many people as we are 6 and the server recommended that we get the bigger table almost in the entrance so we thought okay it'll be fine. We ordered our food and half of it was okay and the other half just didn't taste well (fried corn tamales) were so hard I couldn't even bite into them. Pupusas with chicharon con quezo and the frijoles con quezo had what it looked like only quezo. When it was time to go I asked the female server for box to go and she gave me this look like she was absolutely done with us. So rude. Now it was time to pay. Our food was over $78 dollars plus looks like they automatically add their own tip of almost $20 to the bill which is not cool at all. So basically spent almost $120 there. My husband had already left a $10 tip at the table. Turns out that they automatically charge a tip when you sit at the big table with 6 or more people. I would definitely understand if it was like 10 to 15 people. Plus I think that the server could of given a heads up about that since she suggested that we sit there.. She was not nice. I would not recommend it to anybody. Do...

Upon entering, despite making eye contact, none of the workers extended greetings or assistance. Their focus appeared to be on laughter while handling a stack of orders, creating an atmosphere of disinterest. Despite a pre-ordered stack of bags, I had to step outside to attend to my dog. Upon returning, a teen mistakenly identified me as an Uber driver, leading to further confusion. The cook efficiently located my order, underscoring the avoidable wait.

Expressing concern about the perceived bias, I inquired if such treatment was common for non-Hispanic customers, only to be met with further snickering. Payment confusion ensued, with the teen unsure of why I was telling him that I hadn't paid yet, and the chef insisted on a card. Clarifying my intent to use tap to pay, the overall in-person experience warrants a -5 stars.

My unbiased take: The culinary aspect of the visit did not salvage the encounter. The pupusas disappointed—too soft and fragile, lacking the expected crispness. Regrettably, only two pieces could be consumed before conceding defeat. this establishment left an indelible negative impression due to a series of unfortunate incidents, from misconceptions about my status as a customer to inefficient service and, ultimately, a culinary experience that fell short of expectations.

Consequently, I regrettably assert that I do not plan to revisit this establishment, citing an overall lack of quality and a disappointing...
