Stopped in for lunch with my daughter. She ordered chicken enchiladas and I had eggs with plantain, beans, sausage, avocado, cream and cheese. The server was very nice and answered all our questions. She provided excellent service throughout the meal. Our food was tasty and fresh. We will return.

You should make a trip to this gem on a row of ethnic food from everywhere! When you walk in you are struck at the cleanliness of the place, everything was neat and very organized as well. The cashier/server/host was excellent, she was very attentive and explained the menu in detail. You are able to eat in BYOB and order to go with Uber eats etc. There is a bar down the street with to go beer and a Wine and Spirit store about 10 blocks away if you prefer wine.Now for the food. This is the restaurant no matter what your preference may be as far as style of food when you can tell that the chef is an excellent cook. You could probably tell them to cook anything and it would be enjoyable to your pallet. I started off with the marinated pork it came with fried yucca, coleslaw, lettuce, tomato and cucumber. The coleslaw was surprisingly very good and the yucca was delicious. I really loved the pork it was tender and tasty especially with fresh squeezed lime. My main course of a fried whole tilapia with beans and rice was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! You get a lot of food at a very fair price.I really recommend this restaurant!

I've ordered from here a few times since the pandemic started since I can't make my frequent stops to South Philly as much. They're one of the only places with Tacos Campechanos in Delco and I have to say they're really delicious and for a good price. I've also dabbled in the horchata but I wasn't too impressed--I think it was the end of the mix so I had all of the grainy bits. But if you're not picky you get a great deal out of that too!I've also had the appetizer platanos that come with cheese and sauce--besides being a little on the ripe side, I can't recall having anything as close to what I make at home! They're seriously so good. On a bad day, I drop a $20 on a bunch of food here and wallow away. Something about tacos and other carbs makes my soul happy and I'm almost mad it took me so long to discover this place. Don't be like me! Use this pandemic to expand your horizons and try new places :)

The food was delicious and the portions very satisfying. The chile pupusa was spicy and wonderful and the bean & cheese pupusa was mild and so good too. They all come with slaw (similar to sauerkraut) which is delicious! We went specifically for Salvadorian food as we'd never had it before so the Salvadorian combo (papusa, corn tamale, fried yucca and fried plaintain) was a nice beginner choice and the Carne Asada Salvadorena was amazing. The woman who took our order was so friendly and helpful. It was a great experience.

I was looking for authentic Central American cuisine and El Cuscatleto came up as the top option in my Yelp search. I can't believe I've never discovered this restaurant before! This little gem is one of many ethnic restaurants on this block of Garrett Ave. in Upper Darby, but it outshines its neighbors. When I walked in to pick up my takeout order, a very friendly waitress greeted me and asked me for my name so she could check on my order. She said it would be maybe another 5 minutes before my order would be ready. After the waitress went back to the kitchen and a moment later she walked out with my piping hot order that was ready about 10 minutes earlier than Grubhub had promised. It smelled so good it took a lot of will power to wait the 15 minute ride home and not pull my car over to dig in to my dinner. I ordered the Carne Asada Hondureana with an order of Nachos con Frijoles y Queso for a take out order and I was blown away with how delicious every single part of my meal was. The Nachos were plentiful with a good sized serving of their delicious frijoles with a perfect amount of shredded queso. The Carne Asada Hondureña included both a small and large piece of marinated and grilled skirt steak, rice, beans, chimol, avocado, cheese and fried plantains. When I lifted up the take out container, it felt so heavy because El Cuscatleco serve such large portions...definitely not a bad thing! The steak was juicy, tender and super flavorful. The beans were so rich and flavorful that they may be one of the best sides of beans I've had from a restaurant. The rice while it may have looked plain in appearance was quite deceiving as they packed a ton of delicious flavor into what normally can be a bland side dish. The plantains were fried perfectly and did not need the tasty red and green sauces. The chimol was the perfect addition to the carne asada on El Cuscatleco's fresh homemade corn tortillas. I will most definitely be returning to El Cuscatleco again for another delicious Central American dinner!

We decided to check this place out due to all the positive reviews on Yelp.We opted for take out since it was late. Reservations are NOT needed.Located on Garrett Road right off of 69th street. Plenty of street, metered parking. I was able to easily park in front.The inside is nice and the tables/restaurant is clean.The waitress was very friendly and helpful. I told her it was my first time visiting. She mentioned that I should try the pupusas so I did.The pupusa Frijol con queso (bean and cheese) was absolutely amazing. I never tried it before and I'm glad did. The taste was unique and very good.Ordered Cheese/chicken quesadillas and it was very tasty.Platano frita con queso y carne molida. My hubby LOVED this. He said the Platano was so tasty that it did not need to be filled with the meat. The meat was bonus.Carne Asada was listed as the special so we had to pick up an order. I can see why it's popular. The steak was very good and easy to eat. The rice and beans were very tasty.We were very satisfied with our order and will definitely be back since it's close to home. Can't wait to try more items.

Went for the papusa! A little different that the first place I tried in North Jersey, but still just as good! I'd just suggest asking for them to be well done, add some extra crunch.

Don't come for the decor or ambience. Come for the food. Their Salvadoran specialties (pupusas and baleadas) are fantastic, and we also enjoyed the plaintains and tamales. You get tremendous value for the money. They have a wide range of Mexican offerings too but I've not had them recently.
