" I was really looking forward to this restaurant but left disappointed. The food was average, and the prices were overtly high for what you received. Service can certainly improve as well, making it hard to recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Pulgarcito! The pupusas were top-notch and brought back memories of family gatherings. The place was busy, a good sign, and the service was friendly. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulgarcito is a must-visit if you want authentic Latin American cuisine. From the savory enchiladas to the delectable pupusas, my taste buds were thrilled. However, the only drawback was the loud music which made conversations difficult at times. Still, I can't wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I tried the Salvadoran plate and was instantly transported back to El Salvador. The flavors are perfectly authentic, and their service was attentive. Although the prices are a bit higher than I expected, the quality of food makes it worth every penny. You won't regret dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Pulgarcito, but my experience was a mixed bag. While the pupusas were authentic and tasty, the service left much to be desired. We waited quite a while for our food, and when it arrived, it was lukewarm. The ambiance is nice, and I would give it another try since the food itself was enjoyable, just a bit let down by the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Pulgarcito was a great experience! I tried their famous pupusas and was blown away by the authentic flavors. The beans and crema paired perfectly with the plantains. I also enjoyed their warm and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Pulgarcito. The food lacked the authenticity I was expecting, and the service was mediocre. I ordered tacos that didn't seem fresh. It might have just been an off day, but I'm hesitant to return. " (*Curated Review*)
