" I came here hoping for authentic Salvadoran food but felt a bit let down. The pupusas were decent, but I had expected more flavor and freshness. The ambiance was inviting, but I had issues with the service being quite slow on a busy evening. I might give it another shot during off-peak hours to see if that makes a difference. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely experience! The restaurant has a very welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly, and although the food took some time, it was fresh and delicious. I recommend the chicharrón pupusa—they are fantastic! I will definitely be returning for more, and I appreciate the variety on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how good the food is at El Transito! I had the seafood burrito and oh my goodness, it was fresh and filled to the brim with shrimp and fish. Plus, the staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive. I walked out feeling like I was part of the family. They treat their customers right and the prices are reasonable compared to the quality. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I loved the idea of dining at El Transito, my visit was marred by a longer wait time than expected. Once seated, the ambiance was cozy and welcoming, but waiting nearly 45 minutes for my order tested my patience. I was hoping for a quicker service since I had left work to grab dinner. The food itself, a mix of pupusas and tacos, was tasty, but I wished it had arrived sooner. I hope they can streamline their service—or at least notify diners of the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant! El Transito serves the most authentic Salvadoran cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile and the inviting aroma of fresh cooking. I ordered the caldo de 7 mares, and it was beautifully flavorful and packed full of seafood! My friends couldn’t get enough of the pupusas, which they said were the best they’d ever had. Overall, I left feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food and lovely service! I enjoyed their pupusas; they were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. I’ve tried several Salvadoran spots, but none compare to El Transito. Plus, them having a variety of options means I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at El Transito last weekend when I ordered takeout. The food was fine, but my tacos were a bit overcooked and not as flavorful as I expected. The pupusas didn’t have as much filling as I remembered from my last visit, which was unfortunate. I waited longer than promised for my order, which added to the frustration. I hope my next visit brings back the deliciousness I know this place can deliver. " (*Curated Review*)
