" Although the location is not the best, the food makes it worth it! The pupusas are definitely the highlight. Well-priced and delicious, they satisfied my cravings for Salvadoran food. I hope they improve their service, though; I wasn’t thrilled with wait times. Overall, a nice spot for takeout and a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise El Cielo enough! The handmade tortillas are a dream, and I loved the fresh tomato salsa that came with my meal. The service was excellent; the staff treated me like family. It's not the most upscale setting, but it's clean and welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Salvadoran comfort food, look no further. I plan on visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Cielo last weekend and had an amazing experience overall! The staff was friendly and efficient, serving us promptly. I ordered the sopes and my friend got the carne asada burrito. Both dishes were packed with flavor and came in generous portions. The atmosphere was relaxed, perfect for a casual hangout. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving good Salvadoran food on a budget! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit El Cielo recently, and I must say I was blown away by the quality of the food! The pupusas were some of the best I've ever had, made fresh and served hot. The ambiance is simple but cozy, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the place. The service staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. If you're in the area and craving Salvadoran food, do yourself a favor and stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical about trying this place due to its location, but trust me, the food is worth it! They serve authentic Salvadoran dishes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of their beef soup. It could use more vegetables, but overall very comforting. Just be mindful that parking can be quite challenging in the area. I eventually found a spot down the street. Will be back for sure for the soup and to give their pupusas a try! " (*Curated Review*)
