" As someone who grew up loving traditional Salvadoran food, I was excited to discover Antojitos Cafe. The ceviche was refreshing, and I was pleased with how fresh everything tasted! My only complaint would be the service, as it felt a bit slow during a busy lunch hour. However, the authenticity of the flavors absolutely makes up for any delays. I’ve already recommended this place to my friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of authentic cuisine, and my recent visit to Antojitos Cafe did not disappoint! The atmosphere in the cafe is very relaxed, almost like being at a family gathering. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were bursting with flavor. Each bite reminded me of flavors from my childhood, which is a true testament to their authenticity! The only downside was that, although the staff was friendly, they seemed a bit overwhelmed and I had to wait longer than I would have liked to get my order taken. On the other hand, the prices were quite pocket-friendly, making it a great spot for families and friends alike. With large portions and lovely flavors, I can see why this place is a local favorite. I definitely plan on returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give Antojitos Cafe a shot after hearing good things, but I found it to be a mixed bag. The restaurant had a rustic charm, but the service was noticeably slow. My order was incorrect but fixed quickly after I spoke up. The food itself was good though. The tacos were flavorful and well-prepared, but they definitely need better organization during busy hours. I’d like to try it again and hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the casual vibe of Antojitos Cafe! The food is consistently amazing and the authentic flavors really shine through in every dish I've tried. My favorites so far have been the cheese pupusas and the beef tacos – both are made to order, and you can really taste the difference in freshness! My only tip would be to make sure to bring cash! The staff is friendly, but I've had slower service during peak hours. It's worth the wait for sure! Antojitos is becoming my go-to spot for comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Antojitos Cafe is absolutely a hidden gem in the area! The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but the food makes up for it. I particularly loved the carne asada tacos; they were flavorful and filling. Service can be a bit on the slower side, especially when it's busy. They only accept cash payments which can be a hassle, but it’s worth it for the great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Antojitos Cafe based on recommendations, but I was slightly disappointed. The pupusa was good, but I found the breakfast burrito lacking in flavor and portion size. I really liked the ambiance and friendly staff, but I think there’s room for improvement on the dishes. Might return again in hopes of better choices! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Antojitos Cafe is another wonderful experience! Their pupusas are golden and crispy, while their tacos are packed with flavor – you can’t go wrong! It's a small space, so be prepared for a wait during busy hours, but the food is well worth it. The friendly staff also added to my positive experiences here. If you want authentic Latin food made with care, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)
