Salvadoreño #5 - El Mirage

3 Pupusa Combo is absolutely delicious! It arrived nice and hot! And they gave me plenty of salsa and cabbage and the pupusas were nice and cheesy. I will definitely order from here again.

Nachos had a tablespoon of meat the rest was just plain corn chips with wisps of cheese on it. I feel insulted, didnt even include salsa

The chicharrones were nearly burned and overcooked, making them so hard that they were inedible. It felt like a waste of money, so we ended up throwing them away! They should know better! My father, who is from San Salvador, felt it was a disgrace to serve food like this. Additionally, the frijoles were overly salty, making them hard to enjoy. The Chicharrón or Revuelta pupusa also didn't match the recipe he remembers from his home country.

The pupusas with bean and cheese, as well as the chicharrón and cheese, are consistently excellent. I always get an extra side of curtido because it's so refreshing. The chipilín and cheese tamale was incredibly tender and fluffy. I really enjoy the tamales wrapped in banana leaves here, as they impart a unique green, earthy flavor to the masa. This place definitely satisfies my cravings for pupusas and chipilín tamales. I've visited a few of their locations, and the food is always served hot and delicious!

The meats were well-seasoned, and the dessert, Plantain Empanadas with Manjar Blanco, was fantastic, along with the fried plantains. I tried three different pupusas: carne asada, chicken, and vegetarian, all of which were delicious. However, the sauce was disappointing – it lacked flavor and was overly watered down. The slaw was decent but needed more salt, and the tortillas were quite dry and crumbly. I would definitely return just for the plantain empanadas.
