I visited Los Pipiles, a Salvadoran restaurant, and had a mixed experience. If you're craving authentic Salvadoran cuisine, this is a good spot. We ordered the pupusas revueltas, which were delicious.
However, be prepared for a wait. The service was slow, and it took a while to receive our food. If you're in a hurry or extremely hungry, this might not be the best option.
On the plus side, they offer a variety of pupusas, which is great if you're a fan. Overall, Los Pipiles is a good choice for those seeking traditional Central American food, but be patient and plan for a leisurely meal.

Have been here before and returned because their food is tasty. My favorite selections are the Salvadoran plates and I do enjoy their other options as well.
Todays fave was:
Desayuno Paraíso
The dish is big, has a little bit of everything, comes with fresh hand made corn tortillas 😋. Place was packed but did not affect service, servers were nice and friendly.
Coffee was tasty too

Wait time for a to go plate was unnecessarily long. Restaurant should honestly work on a better pick up system because I waited for 40 mins to have someone call my order since I saw how busy it was and the other to go customer's order was called by his name.
After waiting for almost an hour I decided to finally ask if my order was ready and the waitress pulled it from under on their to go station and said here you go.... I asked her if they even call out the customer's name when the order is ready and she said that they do. However, l waited the entire time, and no one had called my name or even asked if I had been helped.
Then by the time I try my order (pupusas of fajita and chicharrón) it was a bigger disappointment. The pupusa literally was not filled with any meat. Cook just threw the fat of the meat inside. You'd think they chop or slice the meat but just to throw it whole and for it to be a quarter size of the fat from the fajita makes no sense..
Only positive thing of the bad customer service, time management and poorly ran restaurant was that the chicharrón con queso pupusa tasted good along with the tomato salsa and curtido other than that I wouldn't recommend this restaurant unless they improve their service. They should really take the time to read the reviews and work on improving because I'm sure they can do it. Food is not terrible but they do have areas of improvements.

Food was wonderful but the women servings us were rude and had an attitude when asking for an order to go she did not even put it in and we waited for nothing.
The guy that was serving coffee was very polite and gave us good service.

If I could give this place zero stars I would! Took more than 40min to bring out nothing!!!! Two pupusas I asked for. Walked out! Jamaica tastes bad. Never coming back. Better salvadorean food on veterans. Do not recommend.
