" I visited Sal Mex and had such a pleasant experience! While I had to wait for my order, it was worth it when the food arrived. The flavors burst in my mouth, especially the carnitas that practically melted upon first bite. The atmosphere paired well with my meal, too. I'll definitely stop by when I'm in Glenwood again!

" This restaurant is certainly an underdog! I was surprised by the quality of the food. I had the shrimp ceviche, which was fresh and flavorful. The refreshing drinks complemented our meal perfectly—a highlight for me. Staff was quick and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. I’ll come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sal Mex is one of those restaurants you’re glad you discovered. The pupusas are the best I've had—crispy on the outside and filled with deliciousness on the inside. The service was very attentive, with our waitress making great recommendations. The only downside was the wait time for our food, which was longer than expected. Overall, a fantastic meal!

" What a delightful experience at Sal Mex! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is genuinely top-notch. I tried the carne asada tacos, and they were cooked to perfection with loads of flavor. My partner had the vegetable enchiladas, which also came with an amazing homemade salsa. We both left with happy bellies and big smiles. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a treat! The combination plate was stunning. I got to taste a little bit of everything, and it did not disappoint! I would pay top dollar for the flavors I received.
