Restaurant and Bakery Salvadorena

Located in a shopping center on WT Harris, gas station close by is a little sketchy at night but never had a problem when I go there. Inside you'll find a bunch of Salvadoran baked goods, snacks and even some soccer jerseys. There are 2 entrances to the location, one mainly for dining in and the other to pick up orders. I've tried their pupusas and they are amazing. I've tried a few places in Charlotte and this is the one that has kept my business. Their pupusas revueltas are made with Chicharon, cheese and beans, most places I've been to don't add beans but that adds something to it. They mostly speak Spanish but I think anyone can go and get what they want. A must try.

The Aesthetic: No-frills Salvadoran family-style restaurant with a bakery inside and goods for sale. Terrible smelling bathrooms. The service has bad reviews, but they treated us kindly. My 2 stars are going to the workers only, everything else was bad. The Price: It was affordable, the chicken tamale I tried was less than $2 and most menu items were similarly priced, but you get what you pay for. The Parking: It's a small plaza so I can imagine that parking can get tight at busy hours. We went during lunch and there was plentiful parking. My Order: I had an unfortunate experience here, and I won't be back. My family is Salvadoran, so we love trying all the restaurants in town. I ordered a tamale, pupusas, and an assortment of baked goods to bring home. When I was eating my tamale I kept noticing crunchy bits in the chicken, and I pulled multiple bones out of my mouth in the first few bites. I found 4 bones inside my tamale that I could have choked on. This restaurant needs quality control immediately or they're going to go out of business. The rest of the food was dry and nothing to write home about. The Conclusion: Be careful, I don't recommend it.

Stumbled across this place while in the area just for a quick bite to eat. I figured I'd give it a try and maybe even get some bakery goods afterwards.The waitress kindly met me at the door, she barely spoke any English but that's ok. I spoke *un poquito espanol*. I ordered pupusas stuffed with pork and cheese, beef tacos and tamales elote w/ crema. When I tell you this food was AMAZING... the tamales were my favorite part! My boyfriend loved his tacos. They served us a side of pickled cabbage, consumme/soup and green Chile. Their counter filled with baked goods was right beside us. Highly recommend ! :)

The service is super bad and they have a lot of discrimination but I recommend it and the food is bad but I give it a 5 out of 5 stars

Service is really bad and it took more than 45 minutes to get our food and the waitress never went to our table to explain why the food was taking so long, we decide to leave after that that time and the food still was not served but the funny thing is they want to charge us for the food that we didnt even saw in the table smh, we tried to explain to the manager or owner the situation and she was so mean and dont about nothing but to get the money for our order. We never return to that palce again

Best Pupusas I've had around Charlotte. Very consistent and the price is good. Definitely love it here. I know NOTHING about their other items lol but Pupusas are a must here.

Well this restaurant has one of the best baleadas and pupusas in Charlotte. The food is really great and I have dined here many times before. Another great point is that the prices are reasonable and won't hurt your wallet. An advantage and complement to this restaurant is that they have a bakery as well which is also good. I didn't dine in this time but usually the service is mediocre. Nevertheless try this place out and order a pupusa revuelta which is a corn cake stuffed with meat and cheese. Another must try item is the baleada de asada which is also a corn based cake with beans,eggs, avocado, and steak.

‼FIRE THE RED FRIED HAIR SERVER‼ A few months back I went here for a family dinner, we saw our server, noticed he was very young, bright fried red hair and big black squarey glasses. He quickly stood out as a amateur. He was overall very awkward, he pushed my child out of his high chair and he didn't even bother apologizing or helping out. He then started taking our orders with a very annoyed look on his face. After he was done we were left there waiting for 45 minutes. During this time waiting we noticed the owner having major attitude and giving us looks. Mean looks. It was giving DISCRIMINATION. The server had come back with our food, after placing everything down we noticed he had messed up our orders, My drink I had ordered a coke and came back with a sprite!?? My grandmother had ordered soupa de camarón but the soup had come back with only TWO pieces of shrimp. As we all witnessed what was happening we saw the server smirking. THE LEVEL OF DISRESPECT ASTOUNDS ME. HOW COULD YOU RAISE A CHILD LIKE THAT. And last but certainly not least I had found a good chunk of his fried red hair in my carne asada. After I noticed this I demanded for a new plate of food but he refused to take it back to the kitchen. After we had our food we were all left dissatisfied. 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ‼NEVER COMING BACK‼ IF I COULD GIVE THIS 0 STARS I WOULD

Made my BF pick us up dinner since its on his way home. Staff speaks limited English, but they tried their best to accommodate him. I'm not exactly sure what pupusas are suppose to taste like, but I like them from here. Served with the pickled cabbage to put on top and I added diced onions on top. Yum. Tamales are pretty good too, just some hot sauce for me and I was good to go. Craving satisfied.

Was expecting more waited a whole hour for 2 orders of tacos and a drink and was disappointed this is so small most restaurants would give tortillas that were bigger these were max 4-5 inches and had more onion and cilantro than meat also poor service do not recommend
