I am a big fan of this place. It's a quaint spot in a strip mall, right next to the Cool Stuff game store. I had their bistec de palomilla lunch special, which was priced under $7. And it was downright delicious! I also drank the horchata, which was a bit different than I'm used to (this version had a darker, brownish tint with a more distinct cinnamon flavor), but tasty nonetheless. The drink was $2.25. The meal also came with buttered toast as an appetizer, as well as a mint at the end. Details like that are always well-noted and appreciated by me. My server was kind and attentive, and I could tell this is a place for regulars. I would go back here in a heartbeat. So good! Note: American Express is not accepted here.

Big fan. Good home style food. Order the Honduran dinner cant go wrong. Big plate with lots of different tastes. You will not leave hungry. Gotta love central american food. I need to marry a woman that knows how to prepare that dish!!!!!

Lechon asado ($6.50) was too dry, huevos con jamon was nothing special. Excellent service. Diet Coke only $1.25. A serviceable meal, but nothing beyond that.

Can't speak to the lunch/dinner menu as I've only ever ordered breakfast sandwiches (perfect for eating at your desk and smelling up your office). These are solid and filling. What's more, like most Latin restaurants, you can get an omelet sandwich and a cafe con leche for like eight bucks (ten dollar minimum on cards, so plan accordingly). I really dig the staff, too. They appear a little aloof when you first walk in, but over time, they grow on you. They're attentive, work fast, and will always know exactly what you want after only a handful of visits. Makes it easy on someone like me who likes to keep phone conversations short. A-OK. Hope to explore the rest of the menu soon.

Love this place! The food is always on point. I have never had any issues. The staff is the most friendly staff you could ask for. The cafe con leche here is always amazing and consistent!!! You can call ahead of time for lunch so that by the time you get there your food will be ready to eat in. I have zero complaints!!

You can never go wrong here. Friendly staff with delicious meals and the prices are very reasonable. My favorite is their croquette sandwich. I also love their ropa vieja and milanesa steak. It's been some time but I do plan on visiting el cuscatleco again soon.

The only thing I ever get from here is the baleada because it is soo good!!! The baleada will definitely fill you up. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet. I also like that they have reasonable prices.
Authenticity! Deliciousooo! They serve Salvadorian and Cuban food. Love this place, very family style atmosphere and taste and you are treated like family here! You're welcomed with smiles and fresh hot buttery Cuban bread! The first time I was here, I had the huevos rancheros for breakfast. The cafe con leche is a must!!! They do it RIGHT!!! The milk is super hot and stays hot the whole time, ever heard of foamy creamy boiling milk with coffee, that's what's cafe con LECHE is all about! Second time was for lunch - I got the to tostones rellenos (it's actually on the dinner menu lol) - which is plantains stuffed with shrimp and fish with avocados on the side. Out of this world good! The horchata is a drink that has rice, milk and the mora seed straight from El Salvador! It's nothing like I've had before. Gladys, igladys, Carla are all very very friendly and you will wonderful convos with them and learn abt their food too! Salut!!!

Pretty darn good salvadorian and cuban food. service was better than I expected and the place was clean and updated. I had the ropa vieja and it was as good as it has ever been. Price was great too, four of us ate for less than $50 at dinner. Nothing out of this world, just really solid cuban food.

There's a lot to like about El Cuscatleco; it's spotlessly clean, the servers are pleasant and speak English as well as Spanish, the food is simple, plentiful and tasty. I knew this would be a good place to eat when I was there along with 6 local policemen & women in uniform enjoying their dinner here. Those guys know where the clean & reasonable food can be found. On another Friday the restaurant was filled with local families. I tried the ropa vieja, the skirt steak and the chicken fajitas and all were simply prepared, had a delicious sauce and at under $15 each, very reasonably priced. It's always great to find a hidden gem like this.

For the value and quality alone the food is authentic, delicious, and well worth the price. If you are familiar with Honduran food than this is the place to frequent because they've got you covered. Baleadas are phenomenal and the pupusas are phenomenal. The carne asada was tenderized and "sabroso". I'll be back again especially since the cortadito is only .90 cents. They serve breakfast,lunch, and dinner. They have so many options to choose from. The $6.50 lunch special is a generous portion and $3.00 for a full to the brim glass of wine is super cheap. Really authentic food. Everything is new too because the place was is in pristine condition. Either way I'll be frequenting them more often. The service is great too. Nice girls who all cover for each other. They show that they all really care about their customers. Highly recommend them.

Even though this place doesn't serve Cuban food exclusively, it's one of my favorite places for Cuban food in the area. One of my favorite items on their menu is the Tostones rellenos con camarones (fried green plantains stuffed with shrimp in a creole sauce). It's also a great breakfast spot since you almost never have to wait to be seated. If you're looking for something a little different for breakfast, I recommend one of their Honduran baleadas or a Salvadorian breakfasts.

This place was great! The food was very good and the restaurant was very clean. My husband and I ordered a feast and the bill was $36. We had ropa vieja which was very tasty but was missing olives but still awesome. We also ordered masa de puerco which was the crunchiest fried pork I've ever had. So good...we also ordered a medianoche which is a cubsn sandwich on sweet bread. The sandwich was perfectly cheesey and toasty. I also ordered a pupusa mixta which was really big and really good. I would definitely go back just for the pupusas. We also ordered an avocado salad which I personally didn't like to much because the avocados were the green florida type. I like the black skinned avocado better because they are creamier in my opinion. They also have a good selection of coffees and drinks. $1.75 for Perrier. I'm glad I convinced my hubby to go here instead of la carreta, we got better food and saved some $.

My abuela had a hankering for some sopa de res, so I ordered her some takeout. This place was much larger inside than I thought it would be, and I wouldn't mind eating there for lunch. I ordered the large soup, which was about $6. It came in a giant container (three of us were able to eat from it!) plus it came with a small side of rice and an arepa. I was so impressed with the value! Plus, the food was delicious - lots of big chunks of beef in the soup, and the rice had tiny pieces of carrot in it - so good! I'd definitely recommend El Cuscatleco if you are looking for a good value!

We had visitors in town wanting Cuban food. I found this place from searching Yelp. I actually come to realize I had passed this restaurant several times while shopping in this plaza. First of all, the place is super clean. The waitress spoke perfect English ( even though I had my fiancé there in case they didn't..lol ) . They had fresh Horchata ... Delish!! The prices were so reasonable, we ordered a feast!!! The pupusas are to die for. Steak and shrimp , melt in your mouth. We all enjoyed this place SO much. I'm so excited being its only about a 5 minute drive from the house. Please give it a try!
