Costa El Sol: Reviews & Ratings
Love love love their pupusas & their steak tacos and green salsa!! Pupusas are full and authentic and delicious and the tacos are very well seasoned. If you ask and if they have their agua fresas the watermelon one is 10/10 as well! 5 stars definitely will be doing to this place a lot more!
Very good and one of my favorite spots! I always get the pupusas and never been dissatisfied. The service is rough, English is not the first language and trust me that's not a big deal with authentic food. I got the enchilada and it doesn't rate next to the pupusas. Do yourself a favor and get down there and enjoy a delicious meal.
$2.50 tasty bomba pupusas (according to their menu bomba has chicharrón, cheese, & beans inside) and the fried plantains are what keeps me coming back! If you have been here before then you know you can't come time restricted, these pupusas are made with love and that takes time! Also, usually there are only one or two servers and it gets a pretty busy for lunch! That would be the only downfall but it is an easy fix, like I said, do not come when you are time restricted because the wait for the pupusas are worth it.
It's been under new management and service has improved over the last few years. The food is awesome; you come here for the pupusas, stay the caldos, and possibly leave if it's packed because the wait times are abismal. There's lots of Latin music playing in the background and it can get a bit loud on Friday and Saturday nights, which many people love. You'll get a solid Central American meal for a decent price. Try the revueltas--they're the best!
Great service, very easy to show pictures of food if there is a vocal issue, speedy service and always have good shows on in restaurant.
Never had Salvadorian food before and I am so glad we stopped here and tried it. It is delicious! Will be back again soon
The food here is a definite 5/5 stars! If you get papusa's I recommend the pork and cheese ones! Just because I am a sucker for good service and a decent ambiance is why I would give them 4/5 stars overall, because they always have TV playing really load in the background while I've been trying to talk with my husband over dinner and personally I'm not a fan of that. The restaurant is definitely not a fancy sit down place, but they do have a few tables and booths inside. Their takeout option is my favorite since I'd rather eat good food at home where it can be quiet. Normally takes 20-40 minutes for them to have your order ready for takeout and it's really easy!
Saw the reviews and thought I should give it a try. I love pupusa! They brought out fried flour tortillas chips which were fine and the salsa was very runny with a plain taste. They had a bag of yucca chips for sale and they were wonderful! The orange colored sauce for the pupusa is like a cold thin enchilada sauce and wonderful! The slaw had less vinegar than I am used to on a pupusa. It was just slaw and no liquid. The pupusa looked like it would be greasy but it wasn't and I loved the flavor. I had the pork, bean and cheese. Tamale was very good and not too dry or too mushy. I haven't seen a chicken sandwich so I thought I would give it a try too. It had way too much mayo for me. I wasn't in love with the sauce in the chicken. I would try anything else on the menu!
