Tropical Salvadoreño Restaurant

My friend Allana is a weekly visitor here. She loves it, so she brought me to try it. We started off our meals with some carrot and orange juice, the juice of the day. It was deliciously creamy and frothy. I felt the nutrients entering my body. It was the first warm and sunny day of the year, so we thoroughly enjoyed this refreshing juice. I ordered a beef burrito that came with rice and beans, as well as a chicken papusa and a pork papusa. I knew this would warrant my leftovers, as it’s a lot of food. The beans were exactly to my preference; creamy and savory beans that mix well with the rice. And rice was fluffy and seasoned with a unique blend of spices that you aren’t used to if you only frequent Mexican restaurants in town. The burrito had veggies, beef, some sauce. I’m sure there were other ingredients in it as well but I was too focused on eating it because it was so delicious. A red sauce ladled over the top of the burrito kept everything hot and moist. The papusas were delicious on their own, and remarkable when paired with the cabbage slaw, the sauce provided, and some spicy pepper sauce. It was my first papusa, so I cannot attest to wow it compared to others. But I do know it was delicious and I want to go back. The pork and chicken inside were also seasoned well with unique (to me) spices. The slaw was a great fresh pairing. The plantains had a nice char on them, enhancing the sweet flavor and providing a nice contrast. They were incredibly soft with a pudding-like texture. A dip in the beans and crema balanced the bite well. I am already excited to go back and order more. Maybe the birria and a different juice? I will keep this review updated. GO TRY IT!!!!

Really solid food. Great tortillas, the beans were fantastic and this is often one of the ways I judge a place, if they make great beans, that's usually a good sign. The prices were really reasonable and the guy running the place was super nice.

Absolutely love this place. My Mom is from El Salvador so the second I saw this place I knew I had to try it. Walking in I see a woman who reminds me of my Abuela in the back cooking. Very authentic, delicious Salvadoran cuisine. I did get it to go but even eating it 20 minutes later it was soooo amazing. I will definitely be back whenever I come to town

THE BEST PAPUSAS I’ve ever had in my life!! The food is always so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Restaurant is very clean, priced fairly, and has the most welcoming staff. You definitely are missing out if you’ve never eaten here!

I come here every time I visit Wenatchee. The food is amazing, I try something new everytime and it’s always delicious. The fresh juice was key in the summer heat and the service was amazing! Seems like a sweet family owned business, I’ll always come back!

What a gem in Wenatchee. Super friendly service, and everything we've tried has been delicious, you can taste the love that's been put into preparing this food. The papusas are killer, and pollo asada is perfectly seasoned and tender. And that homemade hot sauce in the red squeeze bottles, chefs kiss, perfect balance of flavors and a great kick of heat (wish it was available to buy by the bottle!).

Every time I stop in Wenatchee for work I make damn sure I stop in here for a meal. It doesn’t matter if it’s lunch or dinner you will never be disappointed. I order the El Salvadorean tamales and the caldo de res. The food is always fresh and always delicious. If you are driving through the area make sure you stop in for a meal. You won’t regret it.

We ordered a bunch of tamales, papusas, and the sopa de camaron. Everything was flavorful and fresh and the portions were generous. We met Isabel, who welcomed us like we were guests in her own home. We would eat here every day if we could!
