Description

Popular Salvadoran spot praised for excellent pupusas, flavorful sides (yucca frita, plantains, costillas, papas guisado) and a welcoming, homey vibe with a full bar, indoor/outdoor seating and happy hour. Diners praise clean space and consistent food but warn of slow service, frequent takeout delays, online-order glitches and occasional missing items; prices skew high and the atmosphere can be loud. Parking is limited and shared with a hotel; closing times and staffing appear inconsistent—worth visiting for the food but allow extra time for pickup.

Great Salvadorenian food and drinks. Excellent people working there with awesome welcoming staff. My friends and I used to go there all the time, and after new owner took over restaurant and converted it to Platanos. In the beginning it was more fun to go there, specially on a Friday or Saturday night cause it was a great place to go eat, drink and have fun hanging out with friends and family. We stopped going there cause in the past, they would stay open till around 11 so that gave all of us that live here in Lathrop a great place to unwind from the stress of commuting and working in the Bay Area. Than since around a year or so, they started closing at 8 so that didn’t give people or us enough time to relax and have fun. Hate to see Platanos close down but, hope New Mexican restaurant stays open later than 8 pm. That being said, I wish good luck to owner in their new location.

The staff wanted to force me where to sit. The truth is that the place disappoints me. I used it a few times but this time I stopped recommending this place. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
