Monica’s Grill

So many great food experiences on their menu. They do have Tex-​Mex for the less adventurous.
Wonderful pickled cabbage was good on everything. Nothing too spicy unless you want it that way.
Jalapeño and Pulled-​pork Papusas on thick fresh tortas had a mild, tasty heat, but the pickled cabbage and extra-​spicy verde sauce brought it up just right.
Chicharrons (pork belly) were cooked perfect for me (I don’t like when they’re left gelatinous) along with the bistec asada with a fried egg.
Definitely going back to make my way through their menu.
Especially when it finally cools off a bit, going back for their soups and their Atol de Elote … Yes! «elote» like the street corn, but pureed with spices as a hot drink! Of course, they also have Horchata.
Great staff and owner!
I’ll add pics next time to!

My husband and I loved this place in addison ;) if you want to try something new and exciting try the papusas!!! Also the seafood soup was amazing and service was fantastic! We will be back

We stopped by this place with a large group of us on a last minute decision. We were warmly welcomed by the owner/​manager, and given excellent service. The food was great! They have a nice selection of Salvadorian meals, along with some Mexican and American choices. We will definitely go again.

I guess the food in this place requires a special background to like. For me it was disappointing with health concerns thereafter.

Authentic Salvadoran Cuisine (El Salvador). I give this restaurant a «5» on food taste and authenticity. When I was there last (the same day Spain won the world cup) I had the «Mariscada», which is a creamy seafood soup. It was awesome. The taste and quality of the soup brought me back to El Salvador in that it was very similar to what you get there. I also had «pupusas» and they are very well made… probably as good as they get in the Dallas area. I have also had their «Yuca con Chicharron» (Fried yucca/​cassava and bacon chunks) and their «platanos con crema» (sweet fried plantains with crème) which were both delicious. Consensus from people I know here in Dallas is that the «other» restaurants near here are not up to par. They also serve «Kolashampan» soda, which is a favorite in El Salvador. They also have an extensive beer selection. If you are looking for authentic Salvadoran cuisine in the Dallas area, this is your place.
