El Pulgarcito Restaurant is a true gem for Salvadoran cuisine! 🌟 I visited for a casual lunch and was impressed by the speedy service. I indulged in the pupusas, which were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Their coffee is worth trying, too - rich and aromatic! The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot for solo dining or groups. Plus, there's ample parking, which is a huge bonus. I can't wait to return for breakfast - they have a fantastic kid's menu as well! Definitely recommend! 😊.
