Montecristo Restaurant

Delicious Pupusas! We stopped by this past Saturday around 2 pm. Parking can be a little hard, but we found street parking about 1 block away.When we walked in there was only 1 other customer in the restaurant. We sat down and a nice young man brought us menus. They have a good variety of Salvadoran dishes to choose from including pupusas.One of the ladies working came over and took our order. I ordered 2 pupusas (rice flour) with beans and cheese. My husband ordered Bistek Salvadoreno. This comes with tortillas but he also ordered a pupusa.Our food came quick, about 10 minutes. The pupusas were delicious alonf with the curtido and salsa. The bistek was a little salty, but the beans were delicious.Also we ordered Tamarindo to drink and it was fresh not from a powder.Very good food, great service, we will definitely came backThank you ladies!

Been here twice now in the past week. The first time I had the eggs with loroco plate it was amazing and delicious. Today I had the pupusa combination plate which comes with 2 pupusa of your choosing and with rice and beans. Once again very good the pupusa are made to order so you know it's fresh. For the drink I had the Salvadorian style horchata I high recommend it. The service was great. Nice and friendly staff.

Customer service: Stopped by for lunch. Upon walking in, none of the 3 ladies working behind the counter acknowledged me. Okay, cool. I walked up behind a lady ordering to-go. Still no type of acknowledgement. I noticed the stack of menus, grabbed one, said "hello!", and seated myself. Still, no acknowledgement. I ended up ordering the camarones a la plancha to-go after having to walk up to the counter and make someone acknowledge me! Waited about 10-15 minutes for my meal.Food: My to-go container was full, fragrant, and came with some handmade tortillas. The grilled shrimp was very salty and dry. Salad was decent. Fries were perfect. Rice was bland. Haven't tried the tortillas, but they look and smell delightful.Overall: Wouldn't return *shrugs*

This place is amazing, super takeout friendly and the best pupusas I've ever had..so fresh and perfectly sized. This place is cheap and amazing you need to give it a try

Warning: gentrifiers stay out of here!!!! Not really I don't want this gem to go the same way as my beloved restaurants in the mission aka Panchitas! Anyway my Latinx community this place HITS THE SPOT!!!! Its beyond amazingly delicious!!!! Vine a comer con mi familia una tarde en martes, las típicas pupusas llenas de quesito! El caldo más concentrado y rico aparte del de mi mama! My dad devoured the caldo de mariscos! This is by far my favorite spot for Salvadoran food in The Bay!!!! Regreso mil veces más!!!

I ordered 2 pupusas de arroz (con loroco) and one combination 2 pupusas with rice and beans for pick up. I was told ready time was 15min, and was in fact ready by the time I walked in(much appreciated). Pictured is my combo plate and a small piece of the pupusa de arroz which I really enjoyed. If your wondering what pupusas de arroz are like, I'd compare it to a mochi (chewy) like texture. Good customer service and good food, I definitely recommend this place. I also took updated pictures of the current menu.

Delicious food at an affordable price, and great service! You'll be surprised by all the delicious meals that they offer.

small, vibrant, and authentic. everyone was so kind here - spoke minimal english so we did some spanglish to communicate :) the food was amazing! try the pupusas here!!

Very good chicken soup! Service is also good. This is one of your traditional Latin food. I wish that either Guatemala or El Salvador restaurant was by the water instead of El Toro. Don get me wrong, I like Mexican food too but not when it's cater gringo. The place is also clean and looks nice inside. Just don't like the location.

Put in a order for pick up and lady over the phone was rude af like if she didn't want to respond & didn't give no time on how long it take or how much it was! Terrible!!!Deff would not go back make people not want to support local restaurants with that attitude!
