LOS AMIGOS RESTAURANT

Really nice Salvadoran restaurant, delicious food - pupusas with chicken and mushrooms&garlic my favorite! Life music on street, nice atmosphere! I had really good time!

I’d give this place an 11 if I could. Found outdoor seating at 1 on a Sunday afternoon, and staff was very friendly (proper friendly, not Mission district nonchalant hipster friendly) to us and our large dog. Received chips and salsa right after we sat down. Ordered a pupusa plate and chile relleno, both solid. Pupusas (1 pork and 1 chipotle) were tasty and had great texture, side guac was chunky and fresh, beans were hot and comforting, and fried plaintains were best I’ve had in the city. Wife’s chile relleno was also best I’ve tasted in the city, and many places in Mexico. You could actually taste the pepper on it’s own in all it’s smoky goodness, not to mention the balance with the cheese inside and sauce on top. With beers and a good tip, lunch was just over $50 for 2. I couldn’t believe it.

Pupusas were really good and large. Ordered 3 but would've been full with 2, along with our calamari, which was also done well with a light batter and the insides still tender and flavorful. Recommend trying the pork pupusa and loroco pupusa (floral buds). Skip the 'Cola Champagne' drink as it's just orange flavoured soda. Service was great, they proactively asked if we wanted more tortilla chips!
