" Not a great experience. I went in expecting authentic Salvadorian food, but the flavors were surprisingly bland. Service was pretty slow, and we felt neglected at times. Perhaps it was just an off day for the team, but I likely will not be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had! From the moment I walked in, the vibrant decor and friendly vibes made me feel right at home. I ordered the pollo milanesa and it was cooked to perfection—crispy and tender! Additionally, the prices were very reasonable, and we had leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for affordable yet scrumptious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Santana Restaurant always impresses! I've dined here multiple times, and each visit is filled with flavors that remind me of my travels in Central America. The fried plantains are a must-try, and their desserts are divine! Every visit brings joy, and the staff is just wonderful. Can't recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is vibrant, and the food is solid, but the service was lacking during my visit. I waited quite a while to be served and had to remind the team about my order. Nonetheless, the food was fresh and maintained the authenticity that I love about Salvadorian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! As someone who has traveled to El Salvador, I can say that this place captures the true essence of Salvadorian flavors. The camarones a la plancha were outstanding. Service felt genuinely caring, making my meal even more enjoyable. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming here for years, and the quality has been consistently great. The comida típica is authentic, especially the pupusas and yuca frita. Prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. However, the service can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day, but it’s worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last night and it was superb! The tamales were some of the best I've ever had! The service was prompt and friendly. I loved the cozy decor; it felt very authentic. My only complaint is that it can get a bit noisy when crowded, but overall, a fantastic spot for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)
