Came here first time today as I happened to notice the restaurant. Im very picky with burritos and never order them anywhere because of quality, but this was one of the best burritos I've ever had. Very large was full with half, and came with some nice fresh veg on side and avocado. Ordered an appetizer also that was great. They have a lot of unique menu items, including drinks (ask them about that). Service was really nice and owner was very sweet. Will happily come again.

First time trying Calentado, pupusas, and I forget what the appetizer was called (pork belly, plantain, with guacamole) and it was 👍 👌 👍. Thank you Gladys for taking the time to go thru the menu with us, and making us feel at home. Visit El Palacio if you want to support local family business, fresh ingredients and caring service. I will have to come back for Saturday karaoke and nachos!

The place is so clean , the bathroom ,the counter, the table , the floor, everything! The service was great the people are kind and even though they are busy they don t leave you waiting, the food also doesn t take too long , and even if it did it s always worth the wait! There s a great variety on the menu and everything seems tasty. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Kindly, María victoria ( I m on the wrong account) my grandma recommended the place !

You walk in and there s a white piano, so you know it s going to be a good vibe. The owner is very kind, with some very nice conversations and good recommendations for places to dance in the city. The food: best empanadas I ve had in the city, the ceviche is also amazing, the pupusas too! I heard that s there s open karaoke and dance Saturday nights starting around 9pm, so I ll have to stop by again!

Best pupusas Salvadoreñas in town. Excellent service, fresh food.

December 23, 2022

I do not recommend this place if you have children since the lady who serves starts to complain that she has to clean up afterward because the children make a mess and that is uncomfortable. I better recommend the Mexican restaurant that is almost next door to Mi Pueblo. Mexican food is delicious, everything is delicious and they serve you very well.

★★
December 23, 2021

the food is ok, but im confused whether this is a family restaurant or a drinking pub. the waitress dress attire makes it look more like a massage parlour. a family restaurant where families with children come to dine in, would not have to be misleading and should be warm and cozy with great food, at least that is what you would expect for the food prices you pay!!

Excellent food

December 23, 2020

The food is okay. We went there today to have Pupusas and as soon as we sat down, we were told that last call for food and drinks was in less than 5 minutes. Granted it was 20:55... but they still had one hour until they officially closed. We ordered 8 Pupusas in total and the waitress brought two small containers to the table ( one for salsa the other for the coleslaw) . We asked the waitress if we could get more slaw and salsa and her answer was that she will have to charge us for it. We asked if she was being serious, and she mentioned that the amount of slaw and salsa we had was enough for 10 Pupusas. It was clear that she had already stored the condiments and didn t want to be bothered bringing them out again. When you pay $5.00 per Pupusa, and you have the audacity to try to charge for cheap sides... you will lose customers. Service has never been the best... but it s not as bad as La Pupusa Loka on Wilson . This restaurant is transitioning from amanecer salvadoreño to el palacio del sabor, but they are already being cheap on little things now, we will definitely go back to the location on islington and never frequent this new restaurant. Pupusas at the islington go for $ 3.50 and at this location the same item goes for $5.00 .

Lovely restaurant. I went to the one on islington and albion and enjoyed it. When I heard they had another location, i knew i had to visit it. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and is nice and clean. The food is amazing. For me, its hard to find a good salavadorian restaurant. The horchata and cevada are deliciouse and people there are friendly. Will definitely be coming back for sure.

The waitress was very friendly but the atmosphere was not familiar at all, there was a group of people drinking too much and shouting, saying bad words and insulting each other, they were already very drunk. We went for the rice pupusas but they didnt have them and the corn pupusas were not what we expected. Being there with my children waiting for the pupusas and listening uncomfortably to that group of people who didnt let us talk because they were singing and insulting each other... maybe they believed that the restaurant was just for them. Im not saying that they dont sell beer but maybe they should sell 3 maximum per person or at least not pretend that it is a family restaurant if they are going to have that atmosphere. Personally, I will not return to this place.
