" El Carbonero offers a truly authentic experience! The pupusas are a standout dish here, and they really are comforting. The service could use improvement since our orders were slightly mixed up. Still, the wait staff was polite and pleasant overall. The restaurant feels cozy, and I loved the music! I will be back to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? El Carbonero has raised the bar for Salvadoran cuisine in Amarillo! Their pupusas are easily the best I’ve had outside of El Salvador. The combination plate with plantains was delightful! Every bite sang with authenticity. The service was friendly but somewhat disorganized, and I had to remind them for refills. Still, I’ll return because the food makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a Salvadoran native, I was skeptical about trying this restaurant. But the moment I tasted their pupusas, I knew I was in the right place! The flavors reminded me of home. The service had a few hiccups, but they were friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was lively, especially during the weekends with the music. I’m definitely returning and recommend everyone to check it out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a frequent visitor at El Carbonero. Their pupusas are mind-blowing! I've tried many different varieties and they never disappoint. The ambiance is friendly, but the service can be unpredictable, especially during busy times. It's definitely a place to go if you want delicious Salvadoran food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very happy to stumble upon El Carbonero! The food was bursting with flavor, and I particularly loved the large portions. The pupusas were fantastic!

" The food here keeps me coming back! You can't go wrong with the pupusas or the spicy shrimp. I also appreciate how clean the restaurant is kept. I've recommended this place to my friends and they were all impressed! The pricing is reasonable given the portion size. The music added a nice touch too. Just remember to be patient during peak hours as it can get quite lively! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Amarillo and craving Salvadoran fare, do yourself a favor and check out El Carbonero. I went with friends for dinner recently and was impressed by how every dish felt rich in flavor and culture. The ambiance was lively, filled with joyful conversations and some music. It was a packed house but we still had a great time. Don’t skip the horchata alongside your meal! " (*Curated Review*)
