El Nuevo Ilobasco Family Restaurant

Just visited this place. Deliciosas pupusas, salsa y curtido ! El fresco de ensalada delicioso (con tres nances — no la típica ensalada; pero disfrute los nances)
Lo único q no me gusto fue el café. Ni me lo tome. La mesera al comentarle q no me gusto, no me l cobro .
El lugar es muy limpio y grande.
Definitivamente regresaremos :-)

After a number of bad experiences– it’s so nice to find a great casual restaurant in this neighborhood. Excellent food and fast service. Ruvueltas fantastico!

Great food and service! The pupusas are delicious. I highly recommend their carne Masada and mojarra frita. The only downside is that they don’t refill the tortilla and bean plate they bring while you wait for your food

This place is full. of crap. Bad, bad service and the food is garbage. I have terrible. memories here

I been coming here for almost two years and they always have good food! Pupusas are good and great place for breakfast if you want a Salvordorian food! By the way ensaladas (the drink) is awesome!

Loove how you can taste the original latin flavors in all of their food. The pupusas are so big and made just like back home. Two thumbs up!

Ive been here several times and they do not disappoint. My favorite drink is the ensalada (fruit drink) and the pupusas. I also love the empanadas.

NOTE: This review was written on 10/​16/​2013 and posted on the incorrect business page, so I am moving it here. I see that there have been some 5 star reviews since then, and I hope this place has improved. I’m just sharing my experience from when I went.
My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant, they serve Mexican and Salvadorian food. There are some positive things to be said about this restaurant, the interior is spacious and has the potential to be a beautiful place to eat. It’s a rich, dark environment with clean tile floors throughout, soft lighting, and a high-​tech jukebox. Although it did feel very empty, they could do well with some decoration or sculptures on the floor and paintings on the walls.
However, I simply can’t say they deserve more than one star. There were not many other people here when we went, and it took 50 minutes before our food came out. For that whole 50 minute wait, we were completely neglected. No drink refills, no refill on the complimentary tortillas, no apology or explanation. Our server was out of sight for nearly an hour. Then our food came; My girlfriend ordered beef and peppers over rice and I ordered a creamy chicken dish with rice and beans. These menu items sounded delicious on the menu, and they are good ideas, but they were ruined by the chef. The meat was not fresh, and what I had expected to be a chicken breast was actually a ripped up pile of bones with scraps of meat hanging on. It looked like a dog had eaten a whole chicken, and I got the leftovers. More bones than meat. There was hardly any flavor to the meal.
Throughout the meal, the server continued to neglect us. No refills, no «How is everything?», the server was just gone. I eventually got up to go find him and asked for the check. After returning to my seat, I waited another 15 minutes and watched him serve three other families before walking to the front desk and demanding my check. Upon presenting my MasterCard for the $ 30 meal, I was told there is a $ 2 fee for paying with a card.
Seriously? A gas station charges maybe $ 0.50 for a transaction fee on a card, and that’s only if you buy less than $ 5 worth of merchandise. This place charged me a $ 2 transaction fee on a $ 30 purchase. Completely absurd. Suddenly when I picked up my pen to sign the receipt (where I might write in a tip) the server seemed to wake up! He put on a big fake grin and started talking up a storm! «Did you enjoy the food?» «Did you like it here?» «How was the service today?» «I hope we’ll see you again soon.»
Yeah right. Sorry, I did not tip.
Having said all of that, I really hope they get their act together. Again, this has the potential to be a very nice restaurant.

Authentic and delicious salvadorian food! Great service, they have veggie pupusas that are stellar. Platanos Fritos that are perfectly ripe and not swimming in oil. I also love getting their quesadillas (sweet bread) if you’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth I recommend! I ordered pupusas for my friends birthday party and everyone ate them up in minutes! Def love this place!

DELICIOUS!
