La Placita Salvadorean Cocina — Restaurant in Sherman

My husband and I absolutely adore this little spot. It is truly a hidden gem. Let me start by saying this loud and clear: this is authentic Salvadoran food, and no, it is not Mexican food. Please know the difference y’all. Every dish carries the heart and heritage of El Salvador, and you can taste the tradition in every bite.

The moment we walked in, we felt at home. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, yet full of character. It feels like you have been welcomed to someone’s table rather than just a restaurant. There is a vibrancy to the space and an authenticity that you cannot fake.

And the food? Incredible. From the pupusas to the sides, every flavor was rich, comforting, and unforgettable. This is the kind of food that does not just fill your stomach but wraps you in a memory. We left feeling nourished in both body and soul.

La Placita is the kind of place that reminds you why food matters. It is culture, it is family, it is beauty on a plate. If you want real Salvadoran food in Sherman, this is it. A...

I came to visit because the majority of the reviews were great and I love Salvadorian food!...I was disappointed with the food. (I ordered 4 different variety of Pupusas: cheese, beans & cheese, cheese & spinach, and chicharron, can you tell I LOVE cheese..🤭😝) The waitress that took my order was super friendly, but the waitress that delivered my food was sort of snooty and asked if I wanted cabbage. I replied that I did and she walked away to another table😳... to which she greeted with a smile and showed GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE to. Ummm, hello? I am a customer too😩...that's ok, maybe because I wasn't a regular is the reason why she was a bit aloof with me?🤔 sigh but the original waitress came by after couple of minutes and I asked for the cabbage. She apologized and brought it to me minutes later. I don't live in the Sherman,TX area, but I do pass by there on my way to Dallas. Maybe I expected more because of the great reviews, but was not very impressed with my...

Casual dining within a small grocery store. The absolute best food! I'm pretty sure I'm addicted at this point. Seriously, delicious food! Black bean dip, guacamole, so fresh. The chicken tamale has potato and green bean inside and is wrapped in a banana leaf and is so moist, tastes like chicken pot pie. My husband goes bonkers for the corn tamale, kind of like jiffy cornbread but way better, dip it in crema. They serve chips with a matinated cabbage slaw on the side with this amazing green and red sauce. The veggie papusa is so good, even better when you top it with that slaw and red sauce. Chicken quesadillas are shredded chicken, and it's LOADED full. So good! And I love to eat the fried plantains for desert dipped in the fresh creme. Perfect! Oh, and they have a coffee machine with different flavors, way better than the gas station types. My favorite is the Mokalita. It's coffee with a cinnamon and chocolate flare. Eyes rolled in the back of my head,...
