Restaurante Salvadoreño Las Canastillas - Salvadoran restaurant in Newark - 326 Broad St, USA

Wonderful place to eat authentic Salvadoran food!!! Highly recommend - we went as a family for breakfast and will definitely be returning. They have a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Otherwise street parking it is! They also have live music on Thursday. Definitely worth coming here - check it out for yourself. The staff are very friendly and service was great 😊

The closest thing to authentic Salvadorian food. Definitely get the cheese pupusas, which are my favorite. The staff won’t come to the table to see how you’re doing or if you want something else, but it’s ok to flag them down.

If you want a flavorful and succulent meat dish? The best option is the skirt steak (Churrasco) with a choice of two sides!! The steak and sausage combo dish is just as amazing, with two sides to pair with it! From the entrance to the rear of the restaurant, the atmosphere is full of creative energy.. Including the bathrooms! And the service is extremely attentive, pleasant and very helpful to narrow down your choices from the menu. We got there around 6pm and parked at the rear of the restaurant parking lot. Thursday is live Mariachi night, and the entertainment is wonderful and not overpowering at all! My wife loved it!! Great food, great place equals great experience

I love the vibrant atmosphere here. More than the atmosphere, I loved the food. The pupusas and their curtido was just amazing. Properly stuffed, flavorful, and just outside authentic spot for some Tony the Tiger Great pupusas.

First time was Aug 4, 2023. We weren't allowed to sit where we wanted to sit. Yes, it was empty, not busy at all. One spanish lady(not sure she was the manager) was sitting down folding napkins right in front of the bar with another worker. The food didn't take long to come. While eating, the place started to get busy. The Server was attentive. The dessert was good- tres leches. When we got the bill, we noticed that the Gratuity was added to the bill. Tipping is not Mandatory!! We as paying customer should Tip what we feel and allowed to Tip. Not forcing someone to Tip cause it's already apply to the bill. Yes, I worked in the restaurant business 8yrs. The restaurant should be paying their workers a descent pay rate since after the pandemic. We Missed the Happy Hour by 10mins.

I went to have lunch with my brothers. The food is always delicious. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The restaurant and bathroom are very clean. The food came out at a decent time. Handicapped entrance is in the front. The atmosphere is entertaining with a giant screen television playing music videos. Will definitely recommend for get together and family meals

Food prices were high but it was delicious!

The pupusas were very good.
