We found the other reviews spot on. Great food at great value. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Cari was our waitress and owner. Very warm and friendly. If we lived in the area we would make this one of our regular restaurants. We were traveling on a Fall foliage tour at the time.

This is my new favorite spot! I ordered the Carne Asada con Camarones (grilled steak & shrimp) & the steak & shrimp were seasoned & cooked to perfection! Good portions too! Friendly, fast service and the place is spacious, nicely layed out & clean. Highly recommended. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

I wish I had tried them sooner. We had the corn tamales and I cant stop thinking about them they were so good. Had some kind of cream sauce with them that was delicious. Also had the mixed papusa which were very nice and the fajitas. Highly recommend. Oh and the tree leches! Don't even get me started on that. We will be back!!

Our second time at El Salvadoreño restaurant in East Stroudsburg on 730 Milford Road. The food was amazing! I had a pork chop with rice, beans and salad and it was so fresh. Martha had two pupusas. Pupusas are typical from Central America and are made with corn flour and filled with different ingredients. We chose cheese with pork and another with sausage. Delicious! I highly recommend this place! Very reasonable prices too.

Truly one of the best meals I had in a long time. I got the stew chicken, which came with a very generous portion of rice, beans, salad, and the most delicious housemade tortillas. The service was great. I’m really impressed with how they designed the space. It was spacious, bright, clean, and smelled amazing! Oh, I also took home dessert - highly recommend you check out the pastries. I don’t live locally anymore but this will definitely be a place I visit whenever I can. I wish them much luck!
