La Campiña Salvadoreña Restaurant

Came in for a pickup order midday on a Saturday and upon first entrance the interior has a very clean "shoppe" vibe with nice looking booths and tables. I'm a sucker for chicharrones, fried yuca, empanadas, pupusas, and the curtido to go with.
This place had it all. The curtido had a surprising punch...and as my first bite it set a fantastic bar. The yuca portion with the cheech-n-yuca dish was surprisingly healthy.
It's entree sized, for sure. Then the empanadas...another star of the show.
And more spicy slaw (curtido)...that put a smile on my face. Everything came with a salsa Roja that was very mild in heat but super flavorful. The chicharron was the most decadent thing I've ever tasted.
I had to stop and take a prayer after every bite because it was so sinfully amazing.
It's one of those bites that stops time, IYKYK. The pupusa will be desert later.

It was pretty good.
For my first time it was delicious!

Blink and you’d miss this place.
Cozily appointed inside.
The waitress was kind and accommodating as we communicated through broken Spanish and smiles. I was hungry for Salvadoran.
The menu is varied but I couldn’t find an option that hit all my cravings.
If I spoke Spanish I could have been better advised.
The super pupsusa is more than a stomach duo but would have liked some protein and loroco. The curtido is certainly house made and quite tasty.
Horchata is good. As for bakery items, Latin baked goods are a hard sell for me — too dry.
But a good meal with plenty of leftovers? $17 = score!! A friendly neighborhood place filled with hard working, hospitable folks.
