Cafe Platano 2

Don't let the location for you. Some of the best pupusas I've ever had (and I have had my fair share). Cooked to having a soft center. The masa (corn flour) complements the other flavors without overpowering them. I am not a big believer in perfection, but the way these were cooked came damn close. And this was just the main dish. The cabbage salad, (curtido) that accompanied it was solid as well. Crisp, fresh with the proper acidity.I will be back.

Awesome pupusas!! Price is reasonable and I love doing take out for the whole family. Great for potlucks too

I ordered for pickup and the food was ready so quick (~15min)! Customer service was on point and the food was great. I prefer pupusas that aren't overly greasy and these were not, AND all the ingredients had so much flavor. I got revueltas and queso lorocos and they were perfect, super authentic. I also got platanos and those were super sweet and a little greasy, but that's the way I like them. Overall super authentic and a great price, can't wait to try the other salvi classics here

Fast service and good food. I ordered a plate of plátanos and replaced the beans with casamiento for a reminder of El Salvador . It tasted like they may have used Mexican crema instead of Salvadoran (so the taste there was missing) but overall the plátano plate was good. I also ordered 6 pupusas. They don't have rice flour but the pupusas tasted good overall. What really made everything for me is that my entire order was only $25 and some change! That's for 6 pupusas and a plátano plate! Super affordable, especially when compared to pupuserias in Berkeley or San Francisco. I'll def be coming back soon

I first heard of Platano restaurant in Berkeley so when I saw this location I knew I had to stop by.The woman were extremely kind!! I ordered some pupusas de queso y frijoles, yum!Not only did they make them then and there on the spot but they were so delicious!I didn't notice that I had walked in and sat at the table about 10 minutes before closing but they did not mind. I ate my food and they kindly allowed me to stay until I finished.I look forward to visiting again!

Pupusasssss. Beware, if you stay in to wait, you will exit smelling like pupusas and all the food.I got the cheese/bean pupusa. The salad was delicious (curtido) and the red sauce was also sooo yummy. This was a HEARTY pupusa. I just was in love and so happy I tried one of these as a snack. Very delicious and filling!

It's been a while since I reviewed but I will for pupusas! You know the pupusas must be amazing when the entire menu is in Spanish. I was super craving pupusas when I picked up my husband from the airport and am so glad we drove out here. I had the bean and cheese and cheese and vegetables ones while my hubby had the pork ones. Sooo tasty, they're made so fresh too. And couldn't get enough of the fresh slaw and sauce. The mango jugo were real tasty too. You can tell that was fresh as well.Its a small hole in the wall, unpretentious shop so you can easily miss it when you're driving by. And it closes early at 7 pm so get here early for dinner!

I love this place. I used to go to the one in Berkeley because I was working in the city, but due to shelter in place this one is closer to me. I wanted pupusas and platanos con crema y frijoles and this place did NOT disappoint! They are the friendliest people first of all, which is so wonderful especially in times like this where often times it feels we are so divided. Their pupusas are so, so good. My favorite is the revueltas con frijoles, but honestly I am sure you can't go wrong no matter which you get. Their platanos con crema y frijoles are to die for. My mouth waters every time I think of it. To top it off, their prices are extremely fair and I got more than I could eat for less than $30. I will definitely keep coming here to support local business, and to get delicious food!FYI, currently they seem to be closing around 5:30pm rather than 7pm. When I was there the other day they said they close around 5:30 now.

Muy mal servicio, yo ordene mi comida 30min antes y no estaba lista cuando llegue a recogerlo. Además, los chorizos q ordene estaban crudos . Incluso, pedi una salsa picante igual no me la dieron a tiempo. Ellos se tardan mucho a atender la gente y el restaurante estaba vacío. no la recomiendo... Si quieren q su negocio progresa, atienden bien la gente.!!!!!!

Finally found a pupusa spot I love outside of SF!Pupusas were super flavorful with just the right amount of masa and filling. They give you an actual cup full of curtido and salsa instead of those little twist bags like other places which is nice.Platanos were perfectly cooked and the staff was really nice, I'd come back again.
