"When we first arrived, chips and homemade salsa was served. We also asked for the homemade guacamole. Both the salsa & guacamole were fabulous! I had the Enchiladas Trio for lunch, which was also outstanding! The owner, Sal, was very gracious and welcoming. My friends and I will be coming back to El Texcano Salvadoreno Restaurant soon!"

"Everything was simply amazing!! We ordered fajitas trio, bisteck encebollado con mushroom, and carne asada with side pupusas (mixed pork & loroco). All portions were pretty big. Food was super fresh, well flavored, yet not too greasy. Owner was very welcoming, he also let us order from lunch menu during dinner time :) it’s a cute local family owned restaurant that just opened in Oct 2025. Highly recommend!"

"My family and I went here a couple weeks ago and I’m still thinking about how good it was. Our server was very attentive and was so thoughtful towards our bay. She brought him some orange slices to gnaw on while we ate our food. My husband and I got tacos and papusas. They were all delicious! The portion sizes were very nice and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back."
