El Pulgarcito Grill & Bar, LLC

El Pulgarcito Grill & Bar – A Taste of El Salvador’s Heart In the heart of this humble gem, you’ll find more than just a meal — you’ll find El Salvador itself. The warmth of the people, the depth of the flavors, the aroma of tradition dancing through the air — it all comes together in this cozy, beautiful space called El Pulgarcito Grill & Bar. Every pupusa is a love letter to the homeland. Every plate tells a story — of firewood kitchens, of abuelitas stirring with care, of laughter shared over hearty meals. The food is nothing short of exquisite: rich, soulful, and unforgettable. And the service? Like coming home after a long journey — welcoming, kind, and attentive in a way only true hospitality can offer. This is not just a restaurant — it’s a cultural embrace. A reminder that the best places are often the ones built on pride, tradition, and the simple joy of feeding others well. Un rincón sin igual. I’ll be back again and again.

I am not used to spanish restaurant. It was a first visit and I liked it

My first time was tonight on Monday . Showed up at 7 PM with my family. Service was awesome . Tatiana was really sweet . We had Pupusas and Chicken Tamales. The food was amazing and was delivered promptly. I am from El Salvador and I'm a big critic about my Pupusas. Everything was great. Looks like a dive and probably is but we loved it ! BTW , this was my In-laws first time eating Salvadoran food and they're definitely coming back ! Next time we'll try more of the menu .

I am completely satisfied with the place. Food is great , bathrooms are clean. Service is fast and the food is cheap. Where I live you can’t get the same expectations as this place. The only thing I don’t like is the loud music. My family and I are Christians and with the loud music it’s uncomfortable but overall we only go for the food because it’s delicious. Keep in mind we travel an hour and a half just to eat here. Definitely will recommend people here. God Bless you all :)

We came specifically for the pupusas, my husband is Salvadorian and we have tried several places and none of them have met our expectations. I am so glad I ran across El Pulgarcito, customer service was amazing and the pupusas were delicious! The food was served quickly, freshly cooked and full of flavor. I will definitely come back and will be spreading the word to friends and family.

Best el Salvadoran restaurant in town. Could not ask for better food truly felt as if I was back in el salvador

The pupusas are the best I tried in Orlando!

Ordered pickup for my lunch. It was very yummy and good portion. Looking forward to trying other menu items. I went with the bean pupusa (la de frijol) since I know those are really good.

Best Salvadoran food I’ve had in Florida! Super friendly and attentive staff! Highly recommend to everyone!

The pupusas here are delicious! I wish they were closing to my house so I could come all the time.

Good sized pupusas, hot and tasty! We ordered tamales, chicken tacos and plantain as well. They were accommodating in making a cheese free pupusa for someone in my party who can't consume dairy.

Food is good. But they take a while to cook it. Customer service needs improvement.

Some authentic Salvadorian food. I love papusas and it's hard to find them in the area. I like them a little more fried and toasted then they were but the chicken papusas and the loroco and cheese papusas were amazing. The mora agua fresca was awesome too. Definitely a place to get a quick lunch off Orange Blossom.

Food was eatable but wont be back again. They lack traditional flavor. Tamales de elote are a a joke. Dry and tasteless. Not to mentioned tiny. Pupusas ordered were all wrong kind. Honestly looks like they have everything frozen and just microwaved it...

All I want to say is that I’m very disappointed with the elotes tamales. I ordered 8 of them and once I tried them I had to throw them away. Hard and mostly flour. Not sweetened properly and no corn in them. I have had them before and I know how they are supposed to taste and their texture. So awful. I wished I lived near them as I would have taken them back.

The restaurant side is small. We. were greeted by a waitress that was pleasant. There was no Soup of any kind We ordered Chicken Pupusas and Beef Tacos. The service was pretty fast with fresh fruit juice. The food was tasty however the side of cabbage and onions was too spicy. There was a TV show we were watching. The place has a billiard with a loud music player. It was so loud we could not watch the TV show. I look for a door to separate the restaurant from the billiard but there was none. Then when the waitress picked up our dirty dishes she spilled the salad I did not eat. The salad was still on the floor when we left. She lowered the volume of the TV and was constantly on her cell ph. I don't know if they were taking orders over the phone. I had to tell a lady sitting next to out table to be careful not to step on the salad on the floor. We paid and the salad was still on the floor. The bathroom was clean. I will not go back to this place.

I’ve been coming here for about three years now. Nothing like this has happened. I ordered pupusas last night as usual. 3 chicharrón, 2 queso, 1 molido. Not only was there was 1, not even 2 but 3 HAIRS in my food. 1 got me a little upset. But I loved past it. Then my sister got the second and THIRD one. We didn’t even finish our food. It was absolutely horrid. The one was livable. But having three was unacceptable.
