We had pupusas for lunch. The owner was watching some TV show. It would have been to have some salvadorian music as background music instead.

I don't know for the other plates, but pupusas were not good. They tasted like tortillas with almost no filling. The curtido felt like 2-3 days old & the salsa was way too liquid, like water was added in it.

Imagine going back to your hometown after a while & going to your grandparents. That is El Amigo in a nutshell

Reservation by phone. On location, not a cat. Only us & the only staff/front of house/cook/etc. Menu: extensive. Atmosphere: drama in Spanish on the TV. Decor: inside your parents house. Not wheelchair accessible. Bring your own wine/beer. Food made on order. Came pretty quick. Good portions. Tasty. Had the restaurant for ourselves until 20:00 came. Then 11 + 2 came at once. Staff overwhelmed but did his job.

Good prices.

TL;DR: come with good company, good wine or beer, & patience & enjoy the pupusas.

Came across this place when strolling around the neighborhood for food. Living in Central America for 3 years this place hit the spot & not very busy. Pupusas were really good. The carne was great. Very nice owner. Reasonable $$ will be back

Great portions for the platters ! Authentic Salvadorean meals, however i do not recommend the pupusas.... They were extremely thin & next to nothing filling ! Sad. Everything else was good.

What a gem of a place! Lacking in atmosphere but the food more than compensates. Staffed by a single elderly man who both took & prepared our order. His service was pretty satisfactory, but his cooking was great! Menu had a nice variety of dishes spread between Salvadoran & Mexican cuisine. The prices blew me away with how good they were, I ended up ordering 2 pupusas as well as an entire platter. If it wasn't so out of the way for me, I'd come here on the regular & ensure he stays in business.

J'ai récemment dîné au El Amigo, & c'était une très belle expérience ! Les pupusas étaient croustillantes à l'extérieur & moelleuses à l'intérieur, & le plat de pollo était délicieusement parfumé. Le service était excellent, & l'ambiance authentique a ajouté à l'ensemble de l'expérience. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour une délicieuse plongée dans la cuisine salvadorienne.

L’endroit est simple, mais l’ambiance est très conviviale. Les pupusas sont n°1. Pas trop de gras & avec de très bonnes dimensions. Le propriétaire est trop sympa. Parfait pour une sortie en famille ou un bon repas copieux
