Review by Tia Ziemann

September 28, 2024

El Pulgarcito Tipico Restaurante is a cozy gem for Salvadoran comfort food! I went for a casual brunch and loved the pupusas stuffed with savory cheese and beans - just divine! πŸ˜‹ The chicken soup was hearty and flavorful, perfect for a chill day.

While the coffee was excellent, I was taken aback by the $2.50 charge for tap water without prior notice.

Service was quick but slightly busy during peak hours. Overall, it’s a nice spot to indulge in some authentic flavors. Can't wait to go back... 🌟
