Absolutely stellar experience at this Salvadoran Mexican restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch, setting a high standard compared to other places. The food? Exquisite! Each dish burst with authentic flavors, leaving us craving more. 5 stars without a doubt!After a decade of dining here, I can confidently say this Salvadoran Mexican restaurant has consistently exceeded my expectations. The impeccable service and delectable food keep me coming back time and time again. A true gem in the culinary scene! ?Parking: Choose any spotKid-friendliness: They play kid friendly shows on the tv ?Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a nearby ramp

The food at Taco Real is good. The owner of the restaurant is friendly but the cashier is disrespectful, bitter, bad-tempered, terrible and I would say more but if you go this is what you are going to find.

The owner is super friendly.The food was ok, what I didn't like, they asked us if we wanted chips, they brought them but they didn't bring sauce. And they brought it with the food but they didn't give us sauce or curtido for the pupusas. I ordered horchata water, they don't even ask you the size and they gave me the size of the large one. I still tipped him. And my daughter's horchata water tasted spoiled. And I already realized that we left because my daughter took the water and didn't drink it and I tried it and it did have a strange taste.I don't think I'll go back again.

WOW. What else can i say besides wow. absolutely outstanding food.The meat was seasoned to perfection complements to the chef. horchata was unworldly good. love a good family owned restaurant and they made sure you feel like a part of the family. one of my favorites for sure. will definitely come back for years to come. gave me flashbacks of my mama’s home cooked supper!

We went in search of pupusas. Closing time was 8:00, and we walked in at 7:15. One table was eating their meal. We tried to sit down but were told it was takeout only at that time. The person was kind of rude about it too, probably because she'd already bussed the tables and was ready to go home for the night. We conceded and placed a to-go order, and ended up eating in the car :( I really did want to like this place - we like supporting family businesses. Food was pretty good B+, but I'd have to give the service was a D. We probably won't return.

The first time ever going pupusas were absolutely delicious but unfortunately our experience was absolutely horrible. The young girl who runs the register has the most nastiest demeanor very unprofessional no customer experience she definitely should not be working the front.. was really really craving these pupusas like I said because they were delicious so we decided to go back and it was about four months that we haven't really wanted to go back thinking possibly maybe something changed no not at all young girl tried to get really rude that was definitely put right into her place and she walked away from the register if I'm paying for a I expect good service especially when respect is given.
