Muy rico los desayunos los recomiendo muy limpio y muy amable a la atención al cliente
As always, greeted by and served by the owner. We love the way he takes us through the options in Salvadoran food. We really enjoy the chopped fruit drink. We take his advice on what and how to order his food. As usual the food was great including the Salvadoran tortillas. A fun and filling dinner for the four of us. Please come and try his food. You will really enjoy it.
My kids & I love La Santaneca! Super friendly, welcoming service! Unfussy, large dining areas. The pupusas and curdito are delectable! Steaming hot fresh pupusas, made to order.I always ask for the spicy salsa to supplement the milder thin tomatoey sauce (not sure what it's called). The spicy salsa is SPICY & fresh! My child always orders the fruit drink and carne asada, which comes with two fluffy fresh handmade tortillas. She raves about how delicious the rice is! The organic chicken soup, made on the weekends, is comfort food to the max. Michelada is served with special Guatemalan beer. Next time I'll take better photos!
I have been eyeing this place for years! I just always forget when we are thinking of where to go eat! Not so today! We were in the area so dropped in for a small meal. We both ordered two pupusas each. Oh, lovely large pupusas! Mine were cheese/mushroom and pork/cheese/loroca (a flower found in El Salvador). Ray ordered shrimp and chicken. Although his were good..... mine were better! So tummy and with the syrup container of pupusa sauce delivered to our table (along with slaw we can not eat) we could put as much sauce in as we wanted! They've got so many choices of pupusas the rest of the menu went in noticed this trip. Although I did get pix of it and hope to try their dinners or breakfast some time soon. Tried their horchata. A bit different flavor I can't seem to put my finger on. They've got beers to the left of the payment counter. We were served by, what I suppose, the owner. Nice man. Explained the loroca to us. Ambiance is your typical tables in two large rooms that are painted lovely colors with tapestries hanging. No table cloths, more a tapateria than a cafe.
Some of the best pupusas we've ever had. So many combinations - you can basically find anything and everything you could want. My favorite was the chorizo though...
Food is great. We loved the carne asadas and rice. Host/owner was very friendly and made the place feel inviting. Def recommend! If you need a big dinner make sure to order an extra serving of rice
My partner and I always come here whenever we need to go into Carson City for appointments/ driving through to South Lake Tahoe. The food is amazing, service is consistently great. We are vegetarians and love the variety of Pupusa options, Enchiladas, etc. We love this place. We meant to take a photo when the food came but dove right in.
I've only had a pupusa once before from a food truck and it was okay, no reason the revisit pupusas, I thought. My son hypes up this pupusa place which my wife and I decide to try out. These were really good...definitely better than my previous pupusa experience. We each got 2 pupusas, which were served with pickled cabbage and sauce (Chicken/Jalepeno, Beef/Cheese, Pork/Loroco). Chicken/Jalapeno was my favorite of the 3. I tried them on their own, and while tasty, the sauce and slaw made them even tastier....I wasn't a big fan of the sauce, but the tables have Tapatio on them, which worked better for my palette. The owner worked our table and was extremely friendly and gave us a breakdown of the pupusa experience. Would recommend and return.
