Restaurante Azucena

I really appreciate the Salvadoran food here, especially the generous serving of fanned avocado slices on Gorditas, Sopes, and Hurachi corn sandwiches. The service was good and the restaurant was very clean. Highly recommended!

I loved their pupusas. I had a revuelta and a queso con loroko. The pupusa revuelta was delicious, you can actually see the meat in it not like other places that mostly give you fat. The queso con loroko was delicious also. The lady at the front desk was very nice. She let me try the aguas frescas before choosing one. I would definitely recommend, there aren't many Salvadorian restaurants with outstanding Salvadorian taste.

This place deserves your business. Try them - you won't regret it. Cooking is a little slow - but when you get your food - it often feels entirely justified! Hard working family business - delicious food - very clean and spacious if you want to dine in. The flavors are all there. Pupusas are very consistent and super delicious!

Amazing food, great music, and super fast and friendly service! Best Salvadorean restaurant I've ever been to!

Jeeeeze. As u can see I came hungry ! & left FULL AS A TICK. This place is a hidden gem, I felt like I was back in Central America the food was so AUTHENTIC fresh and delicious! The eggs were soooo yummy and the papusa was recommended by the server and didn't disappoint. Fajita, cheese and jalapeño papusa tht was out of this world. The prices were extremely reasonable and they were willing to accommodate without an up charge but even if they did charge it is well worth paying extra for this quality. I love authentic mom and pop restaurants like this so much. Everything was made to order and so fresh with the best customer service experience. Will definitely be back for breakfast as well as their non breakfast options :-)

Yall, this is my definition of a salvadoran restaurant. It's so good. Maybe it's bc the owners are from my region of Usulutan but it hit the spot. We got the seafood soup and the torogoz which had a bit of everything we love here. Everything was just amazing. Couldn't ask for more. Family ran, lovely staff. Ps. I have never been able to find the papas locas "crazy fries" in any salvadoran restaurant in Houston.

We enjoyed our first visit and we're already planning the next. The carne asada plate with rice and refried beans and pico de gallo and a fiery hot grilled jalapeno, the plate came with two of the best tortillas i've ever had. My wife got one chicken tamale, it melted in our mouths. Next visit i'll try some pupusas and maybe breakfast.

What a gem of an accidental find! Restaurant Azucena is a very spacious and delicious family run business with menu items to appease both vegans & carnivores. It is very clean and lots of room between all the tables.Plenty of parking outside also. It is literally run by a grandfather, his kid, and her kids. I see them helping out (the teenagers have been my very competent servers and a 5-6year old has eaten next at a neighboring table while the mom & grandfather cook in the back). The main teenage server told me all about Bayo beans because I kept calling them black beans. The food is not only fresh and beautiful and tasty, but it is ridiculously cheap. Side salads are $2 and come with fresh cut avocado at no extra charge! That's un-heard of in this century. I ordered pupusas, salad, bayo beans, yucca and my check total was only $12.34. I made him triple check my bill and actually told the grandfather / owner he's the cheapest restaurant around. It is all homestyle cooking, he confirmed, and told me they take a lot of precautions to not mix allergic foods, daily cut veggies, make salsas/rice/beans. They even make a delicious version of curtido Not only did this food excite my taste buds but also delighted my spirit seeing such a happy bunch of family members all working together to create some thing special. Please eat there and support them! ¡¡¡Vegetarians & Carnivores & Vegans alike!!!

Be careful with the tips they over charge you ask first what is the amount and inquiry about it first !! Cobran mucho de tips ellos adjudican lo que quieren me cobraron el 20% y gasté solamente 25 dólares!! fue mucho deben revisar su recibo antes de pagar y no permitir que le cobren lo que quieren tengan cuidado

It may look a little sketchy from the outside, but that's how you know the food is going to be bomb. I tried a few different pupusas: bean & cheese, jalapeño & cheese, and fajita & cheese. The bean & cheese was definitely my favorite. The others were good too, but the fajita was a little light on the meat. I love my pupusas drowning in salsa and loaded with curtido so I asked for extra of both. Prices are amazing here too. For 3 large pupusas and a soda it was only $8.50. You literally can't beat that!
