There was an elephant in the room, and it was on the table across from me.\n\nHaving attended last years' Pupusa Festival I was stoked to find Salvadoreno #3 about five minutes away from my office. I decided to grab a quick lunch one day, but sadly Salvadoreno had other plans in mind.\n\nI walked in to a completely empty restaurant. As I took a seat I noticed a needs-to-be-cleaned table across from me. A half eaten pupusa taunted me from a dirty plate.\n\nThe lunch menu was reasonably priced, with several choices. I chose the Pollo Catracho, fried chicken with plantain chips and various other goodies. An iced tea sounded good so that was ordered as well. The tea was brought out. It was tasty but there were only three tiny ice cubes in it. Lukewarm tea is not that appealing.\n\nThen I waited...\n\nand waited...\n\nand waited...\n\nAs I sat there in a completely empty restaurant I wondered if anyone would notice me grabbing the half eaten pupusa off of the unclean table. I also wondered why no one had cleaned the table.\n\nAfter more than 30 minutes my food arrived. It was freshly made and delicious. Still, I had to slam it down in order to get back to work. And that damn pupusa was STILL there!\n\nTo sum up:\n\n-Great food\n-Great prices\n-Really slow service\n-Clean tables!\n\nI'll definitely go back to Salvadoreno based on the food alone, though I'd be hesitant to go during my lunch hour.
