    Such an amazing authentic Salvadorian restaurant! I tried the ensalada tropical and it was delightful. It was topped with summer favorite fruits and a delicious fruit dressing and Pawn.

    Food and service was really good! I saw the previous reviews about bad service but had no. issue at all. The lunch special was such a great deal for only $14.99. I got 2 pupusas (chicharrones & revueltos con frijoles) and side tropical salad combo. The portions are huge! I also tried the fried yucca and chicharrones, which was really tasty. The pork was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The refried beans were delicious too. Next time I will try the seafood soup!

    Please order to go. Service is the worse. You have to wait about 15 minutes for them to say hi and maybe offer something to drink. I was there on tuesday not busy day only 2 tables and still I was waiting to order something for about 15 min. Definitely I'm not going there anymore...please do you self a favor if you lime the food order to go or hopefully someone opens a different Salvadoran restaurant in the area.

    Absolutely delicious food, made fresh to order. We will be back soon! Best pupusas and plantains I've ever had so far 🙂

    I am posting this delayed. I have since left the state but when I lived in Tracy it was a tradition for me to grab these pupusas EVERYTIME before I went next door and did my laundry. Super good, super authentic, delicious

    We were fortunate enough to be able to dine-in during the pandemic, right before another lockdown in Tracy, California. The food was phenomenal. All of the flavors, presentation, and variety... reminded me of my favorite Caribbean dishes. We had the chicken/cheese/veggie pastelitos, cheese & Loroco papusas, chicken tamales, black beans, rice, tropical salad, and avocado salad. This is truly a hidden gem!

    What food comes to mind when you hear Salvadorian food? For me, it's papusa! I h've spent a total of two days in El Salvador, and I loved it. One of the most fun experience I had was making papusa in a papusaria near the airport. How does the food here compare? With my limited knowledge of Salvadorian food, I think this place is pretty legit (apparently so do many others). We ordered: !Hot Corn Drink! - this was my favorite part of meal. It was an extremely hot corn drink, almost like a sweet corn chowder. It was hard to drink because it was so hot and creamy, but I thoroughly enjoyed every sip/bite of it. *Papusa Combo with Fried (or Steamed) Yucca, Beans and Sour Cream - 2 papusa of your choice (I got fried pork and chicken with vegetables, I prefer the former); I didn't really care much for the beans or the sour cream (more runny and less flavorful than normal sour cream) *Meatballs with Fried Plantains, Salad, and Tortillas - meatball was pretty soft, and had a strong mint flavor to it. I didn't fancy it, but my boyfriend enjoyed it (he likes soft food and meatballs). The tortillas looked and tasted just like the papusa, minus the fillings. We also got an appetizer of fried potato balls with chicken and corn. It was good with the hot sauce. Overall, I had a good experience here. Service was good, and food was delicious. I can't wait to come back to try some soups and get that corn drink again!

    I was trying to make order by phone and the line was direct on voicemail, when I got to the restaurant I make the sever aware of that and looks like they just don’t care, to be honest this place is going down on service, about the food, I feel like is loosing the Salvadorian taste, especially on the classic Carne Azada Plate changing the meat to New York strip cut. That is totally not Salvadorian. But anyways…

    We did not eat at Cafe Platano this time we checked the menu and the prices are ridiculous $5 for one small pupusa and about $22 dollars for a bowl of chicken soup☹️ everthing is way over priced.
