" I went expecting a restaurant full of flavor and warmth, but unfortunately, it fell flat. The chicken soup tasted more like broth with no seasoning. I don’t understand how everyone rates this place so highly. My service experience was also average, with little interaction from the staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Santana Restaurant with some friends who recommended it, and I must say, I was impressed! The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was really attentive. We got to try several dishes, including the ceviche and carne asada, both of which were freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. Portions were generous, making it an excellent value for what we paid. I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Santana Restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday. We were pleasantly surprised by how genuine and flavorful the Salvadorian dishes were! The staff sang happy birthday and even brought out a sparkler on her dessert, making the celebration memorable. The chicken scarpiello was especially delicious with a perfect blend of spices! Price was reasonable for the amount of food we received. We can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Salvadorian food, this is the place to go! The pupusas here are simply the best in the area, and I can’t get enough of the cactus salad. The owners are incredibly friendly, and they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience. However, it can get pretty busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours. Overall, it’s worth it, and I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The taste of the grilled meats took me back to my childhood! Santana Restaurant skillfully does Salvadorian cuisine. Every bite is full of nostalgia and authentic flavors. The service is always warm and welcoming. Fast service even when it's busy! " (*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*)
