This restaurant has been around for years, I had like a couple of years without going but it surprise me the quality of the food, the flavor and presentation. This is an international food type of restaurant but in my opinion specialized in Mexican food and actually is I have to say the BEST especially the tacos are amazing.The restaurant needs improvement in its infrastructure, service needs as well some help but believe me that you forget all that with the food.We had an entree "compartamos" that are fried beans, guacamole, nachos and some cheese quesadillas.Main course I had a "torta al Pastor", we order as well some "Tacos al pastor & Lengua" and my kids had some chicken nuggets and a grill cheese sandwich.Dessert: Ice Cream with chocolate and a crepe.Here are a couple of pictures

A group of friends and I ate here last night. The food was great! The manager was very friendly and accommodated our group of four despite there being no available reservations for open tables (they brought out barstools and we sat in a still unopened area of the restaurant around a curved wooden bar). We had some salads, ceviche (leche de tigre & al carbon), flatbread (hongos & tocino), and fish & shrimp tacos. The food was all delicious. We will definitely come back here again. Note - the prices here are right on target. A lot of places in San Benito put higher price tags on their plates just because they can/there are not many other good options available...not here. High quality food. Good pricing. The bartender was super helpful explaining about the wines that they have available. He even made sure to come back to personally check on our table, making sure the drinks were good, and see if we needed another round. The restaurant is fairly new, so it seems like they are still working some of the kinks out. There was a bit of confusion regarding our bill, but it ended up getting figured out in the end. I'd suggest hiring more wait staff to better accommodate what I am confident will be a growing customer base. By the time we finished our meals and left the restaurant it was completely full. If the food continues to be as good as it was last night -- this place will surely remain popular.I highly recommend "La Estacion."PS - Try to make a reservation for one of their "treehouse" tables up on the elevated dining platform.Dear djo1113,Thanks so much for this glowing review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the concept and we appreciate your honesty in your comments. As you noted, we opened just 2 months ago and are still working out some of the start-up kinks. Thanks again; we hope to see you and your friends back soon!Best,Holly

This is our third or fourth visit and every single time the service has been terrible. Ridiculously long wait times, mixed up orders, some drinks brought out while other come out 15 minutes later, etc.

7. Roberto Cuadra, Cocina Peruana

I am a frequent customer at Roberto Cuadra's restaurant. I used to eat seafood, and tried many delicious options; but now that I don't, I have requested vegetarian options and they had kindly adapted some recipes to give me more choices. I was recently there with my family for a birthday celebration and, as always, the seafood and meat dishes were cooked to perfection, and I had a delicious vegetarian causa. Service is always prompt and impeccable, but I have to say that this time I was a bit disappointed as the chef came out to greet a group of customers (friends of his, I believe), but he didn't bother to say hello to the customers seated at the rest of the tables. It wasn't crowded, and I'm sure he was busy as usual, but he could have said hello to the rest of us and at least ask if everything was OK. Next time, Chef Cuadra, remember it is a good idea to acknowledge those customers who are loyal to you and your place. Other than that, I still consider this restaurant one of my favorite places in San Salvador.

If you are after a nice quiet meal whilst you have a conversation with your companions DON'T go here! There are TV monitors everywhere broadcasting inane and load music from every direction - so loud that that your server can easily misunderstand your order and bring you a double portion as happened in my case! And they then went on to charge me double what I expected!The seafood is very varied and well prepared - prices are reasonable and service is quick. Sad that the atmosphere is so unwelcoming!

For my birthday, my Mom and one of her friends decided on taking me to A Fuego Lento. I had never heard of the place, but I decided to let them take me to discover a new spot on the map. And, boy, this was a pleasant surprise. The signature dish is Paella Valenciana, a Spanish delicacy, and let me tell you it is good (not excellent, but good). My choice was Paella Mixta (rice with seafood and pork and chicken meat, among other ingredients) and it was the right one. Value is excellent when you take into account that for $9.95 you get an entree (salad), the main dish (a regular-to-big Paella), and a small dessert (a small piece of vainilla ice cream). In addition, my drink choice was a "fresco de ensalada" (juice with a variety of chopped fruits). The place was clean, we got exactly what we ordered, service speed was incredibly fast (the food was ready in less than 10 minutes). The only sour spot is the atmosphere: in a Spanish-food restaurant, you expect a Spaniard-type decoration plus music from the peninsula. We found none of these: the house where the restaurant is located is very plain and the music playing was standard American pop fare, plus an interlude of live marimba music. All in all, a surprising place where I would visit again to savor the Paella once more.

Servers in general have a great service attitude, very welcoming, pleasing and amicable. Services is also very quick. Meals are generously served with authentic flavors and good presentation.I recommend the Lomo Saltado, excellent choice, great flavor. That unique umami flavor makes it the real deal! The restaurant ambiance is OK, in some areas a little warmer than appreciated, specially for a very warm city such as San Salvador, but OK.

Having just arrived in San Salvador we asked our cab driver to drop us at a "typical" restaurant in the Zone Rosa and he took us to La Hola. The food was great but very expensive! I had a prawn salad (four prawns) and a margarita for $17. My buddy had ceviche which was $10 and extremely good.
