“ Really great food. Had the Pupusas de Chicharron and a Garden Salad for lunch, left full and satisfied. I even had extra salad to take home for later. Their drink options are great too, even offering Jamaica and Horchata drinks along with your meal. Definitely give this place a go if you're with friends or family, or just in the area. ”
“ Clean, kind waitress, good Salvadoran food! Just pastelitos should have been ground beef instead but that’s just preference. Everything was delicious, the place was clean and service was great. I appreciated the atmosphere too with good cumbias playing in background felt very much at home! ”
“ All of the times we've eaten at Azucena Restaurant, we've enjoyed the experience. The food has a wonderful home cooked taste. Very delicious. The presentation is almost like the menu photo, and the portions are generous. Dont let the outward appearance fool you. Don't judge this book by its cover. ”
“ We enjoyed our first visit and we're already planning the next. The carne asada plate with rice and refried beans and pico de gallo and a fiery hot grilled jalapeno, the plate came with two of the best tortillas i've ever had. My wife got one chicken tamale, it melted in our mouths. Next visit i'll try some pupusas and maybe breakfast. ”
“ Absolutely loved the papusas! They were big, cheesy and perfectly cooked! (Even better re-heated on the pan at home!) The pasteles de pollo were crunchy and flavorful! We got the chicken and potatoes- and the best chortido I’ve had yet! Kudos to this restaurant! ”
