" Had a pretty good experience at El Cielo, but there were a few hiccups. I ordered the carne asada burrito and the flavors were great, but it felt a bit small compared to what I expected based on the reviews. The service was friendly but a bit slow. I'm curious to return and try the pupusas. I've heard great things about them! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cielo Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Salvadoran food. The chilaquiles were delicious and full of flavor. I also tried their carne asada burrito, which was generously portioned and well-seasoned. The only drawback was the atmosphere—it felt a little cramped. Nonetheless, the food makes up for it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious, authentic Salvadoran meals! I visited El Cielo after hearing rave reviews from friends, and it did not disappoint. The pupusas are a must-try! The service is decent, although I wish they were a bit more prompt. The restaurant is small, but it's a cozy spot where you can enjoy your meal in peace. Will definitely visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was generally flavorful, I found the service to be quite inconsistent. My friend received her order quickly while mine took almost 30 minutes to arrive. The pupusas were delicious but not enough to outweigh the long wait. The atmosphere was casual and nothing fancy. It's a hit or miss, but I believe I may give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always on the lookout for authentic Salvadoran cuisine, and El Cielo did not disappoint. The pupusas were heavenly! Freshly made and perfectly cooked, they had generous fillings. The staff was polite and attentive, though the wait time was a bit longer than I expected. The prices are reasonable considering the quality, so I will definitely be coming back.
