Review by Kendrick Kirlin

El Cuscatleco Restaurant is a gem in Alexandria! 🌟 The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal or a casual get-together with friends. I highly recommend their pupusas; they are absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with a side of curtido! The fast service made our lunchtime visit seamless, and we enjoyed some live music that added to the cozy vibe. Plus, the outdoor seating option was a lovely bonus. Don’t forget to try their happy hour drinks! A must-visit for Salvadoran comfort food. 🍽️✨
