What User likes about El Pulgarcito:
A fantastic authentic El Salvadoran/Mexican restaurant and grocery store. It's small and not fancy but the food and service are up there. We had the tortilla soup with hot tomato sauce and it was homemade with bits of cheese and avocado and just the right amount of chips. I had the beef burrito which was about 8 to 9 inches long and came with a nice spicy sauce and chopped lettuce on the side. The beef was delicious... View all feedback.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The burritos are fantastic, unlike the fast tex-mex joints that seem to be everywhere. The enchiladas were also delicious. The t...
