" First time trying Salvadoran food, and I haven't been disappointed! Each plate was beautifully presented, and the flavors were outstanding, especially the tamales. The only thing that could improve is the wait time for our food. I highly recommend Pulgarcito! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulgarcito offers a unique dining experience with its focus on Salvadoran dishes. I loved the atmosphere and the staff were welcoming. However, the food portions were smaller than I anticipated for the price. Still a nice option for a fun meal night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a casual dinner with friends at Pulgarcito and it exceeded my expectations! The food was authentic, especially the tamales which were soft and flavorful. The vibe was lively and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Definitely a place to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulgarcito is a delightful restaurant, especially for anyone craving Salvadoran food. The tamales de pollo remind me of my grandmother’s cooking, and the service here is always friendly. I do wish the music volume was a bit lower; sometimes it gets difficult to hear your friends over the beats! Otherwise, a fantastic spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Pulgarcito last night for dinner and it was such a fun experience! The decor is lively, and the staff made us feel right at home. The pupusas were delicious but what really stole the show for me was the horchata—it was refreshing and not overly sweet. Karaoke nights look like a blast! " (*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*)
