Reviewers describe Restaurant El Amigo as a cozy, homey spot with generous portions and a Salvadoran leaning menu centered on pupusas. Some meals disappoint, with pupusas described as lacking filling and the curtido days old while the salsa felt too liquid, but other dishes earn praise, including a highly regarded quesadilla and the fish soup. Portions are consistently large and meals are often cooked to order, though some items may have been frozen and reheated and not served hot in the center. Service is described as friendly and strong for groups, yet at times staff feel overwhelmed and tap water is not provided. The atmosphere feels like a family kitchen, with dated decor and a TV showing Spanish programs, offering a warm, grandparents' home vibe. Bring your own wine or beer, and reservations by phone are common; accessibility for wheelchairs is limited. Overall, Restaurant El Amigo provides hearty Salvadoran fare and a memorable dining experience, with a mix of hits and misses that diners weigh as part of the charm.

Merveilleuse soirée en amoureux. Le chef est attentif & avenant. Repas traditionnel Salvadorien. Endroit simple. Un apportez votre vin. Bon rapport qualité/prix. Bref, un trésor caché en pleine ville!

The food here brings back the memories of when i was an exchange student in the states! My host family cooked me mexican food almost everyday. When i had my first bite of the black bean, it really remind me of my host family. They cooked me the beat mexcian food that i have ever had in my life. The chef is the server too. He is really lovely & helpful.

Cuisine simple,fraicheur, bonnes proportions, & bons prix! Le chef est bienveillant.
Par contre les toilettes des femmes ( ceux des hommes, je ne sais pas) sont sales y compris les murs. La tenue des toilettes, vous donne une idée sur l'hygiène. Je n'y retournerai pas!

Bon accueil & le chef est très gentil & accueillant! Très bonne nourriture avec grandes portions. Nous avons pris 2 papousas, un plat de fajitas & un plat de quesadillas, & nous étions bien remplis à deux. Je recommande fortement!
