El Pulgarcito De America

Wow. In an area with many Latin American restaurants, this is the best I’ve found. Had a tamal, pupusa, and plantain empanada. Homemade tortillas. Everything was fresh and perfect. Great service. Clean. 5 stars across the board. My only regret is that I’ve been driving past this place for years and waited this long to try it.

Great first time experience We ordered the chicken enchiladas, corn tamales and camarones AL Cilantro and everything looked like the pictures and tasted delicious! Ambiance was casual, & the temperature was perfect! Our waitresses were very nice and Checked on us regularly. Looking forward to my next visit

Definitely a hidden gem in the Central Ave area as the service was friendly and always came with a smile and the server seemed genuinely excited to find out it was our first time, as she gave multiple recommendations as to what we should try since we had never eaten Salvadoran food before. From the papusas to the house specialties, she was spot on with every suggestion as the food was hot, delicious and full of flavor. So, if you are looking to try something new, I highly recommend you give El Pulgarcito a shot as you won't be disappointed!

The chicken fajita was really tatsy! It was served very hot as you can see in the pictures and it came with rice, refried beans, salad, hot flour tortillas, and pico de gallo. They don't skimp on the meat nor the veggies, and it even had 🥦 broccoli in it 😊. I only gave them ⭐⭐⭐⭐'s because it was a weird smell in there to me, and it wasn't a pleasant smell. Other than that, the food is authentic and tastes good.

I have a few things to say about this place. First, I got to be honest, I was a little bit skeptical because of the "Low key place to eat" remark in Google, but I was actually surprised as it ended up being a family friendly restaurant. Two, the service was great, thank you girls. Three, we ordered 3 plates from the menu, plus pupusas and tamales to go and paid $54, I got to say that's actually cheap! Four, they have a very good Central American food selection. A good experience overall. Please note that I went during daytime, I am not sure how the place is at night.
