El Ciruelo - Restaurant in Charlottesville - 1703 Allied Ln, USA

Will not go back. Maybe other dishes are fine but the Ciruelo special was recommended by the server, the most expensive dish on the menu but was pretty bad...

Delicious! My kids devoured their breakfast platter and my fried chicken served over cooked green bananas had perfection of flavors.

Overall, this place was a good intro to Honduran cuisine. Great customer service, clean dining area, and good food. Our chicken was a bit dry and the rolled tacos were slightly overcooked but other than that, the food was tasty!

Phenomenal. Tacos dorados the best I’ve ever had. Restaurant is super clean, staff is super friendly.

Delicious tacos dorado and choripollo. Great, friendly service.

Food was delicious. Great prices. Seems authentic.

The desayuno tipico is my favorite it is so delicious and also love the El ciruelo especial Great food absolutely recommend.

$23 (with 20% tip) for two BIG bellied boys puts this place in my Top 3 Cheapest Charlottesville category. The horchata was great, if slightly sweet. The pupusas (my vegan rendition included cabbage, and avocado) were well flavored, with the shining element being the cabbage, peppered and not vinegary, a gem in our world. The atmosphere was odd, with two tvs blaring for my attention, to the point that I found myself lost in my conversation turning back to them. Overall, great price, unique food, and an ~interesting~ atmosphere.
