La Salvadorena, an authentic Salvadoran eatery on S McDonald St, has quickly become a cherished spot among locals and visitors alike. Known for its flavorful pupusas—decidedly the star of the menu—it offers comforting dishes that showcase traditional flavors without breaking the bank. While some diners have noted sanitation issues, the welcoming atmosphere and kind service seem to shine through. Casual and cozy, this hidden gem is perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Plus, the coffee here is simply fantastic!
La Salvadorena is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Salvadoran flavors! 🌟 I dropped by for a quick bite and ordered the Cheese and Chicharon pupusas - absolutely divine and cheesy, though I wished for a bit more chicharon.
The atmosphere is cozy, albeit a bit compact, and there's something charming about the simplicity. While the Salvadorean breakfast had its ups and downs - the homemade tortillas were delightful - the creamy beans missed the mark for me.
Overall, the prices are unbeatable, the service was friendly, and the coffee is definitely worth a mention! If you find yourself in McKinney, don’t miss the chance to try those pupusas! 💕
