The 9 best breakfast and brunch in San Salvador Department (2024)

I brought here a foreigner, and both were not impressed, empanadas and chilaquilas were average at best, fresco de cebada and nuegado was very good, the rest okay

Amazing amount of variety in the dishes. All variations on local cuisine. I invite all foreigners to come here and try as much as possible. It's like walking into a toy store as a kid and being able to buy every toy!

Super authentic Salvadoran food! Service is great, quality of food, prices are all amazing. Highly recommend this place for down to earth delicious authentic food.

Not the fastest and the food is not even that good. I got a shell in the eggs, the cuajada was stale and old, smelly and yellow... I finished my food before they brought my family's pupusas... Terrible. I give it 2 stars because the egg buñelo was decent at least.

This is like the Salvadoran version of Luby’s. Plenty options. Pupusa’s are good the other selections taste good as well. Really enjoyed the bakery within the restaurant . Parking is limited and best suited for compact cars. Prices are competitive. Will return Please like the comment if this review helped you.

I don’t get why people say the food here is good, the pupusas were nasty, they had some weird flavor as you can see on the picture I dint even finish them, the tamales, those were decent, will never come back

I been here 3 times in my pass 3 visits to El Salvador. The food and dessert are pretty good. I have tired every single pupusa they offer and loved all of them. The fired yucca is also pretty good. I wasn’t a big fan of the chicharrón they gave with the yucca. I had better chicharrón. Don’t forget to get a leche poleada, such a great dessert!

The papusas do NOT reflect the typical taste of an El Salvadoran papusa, I have had better. The quality of their papusas has gone down over the years as they have become more commercial or mass produced. The traditional juices of the country (observed at this location) were excessively sweet, not recommended for someone with diabetes or a pre-diabetic person. I would not recommend this place as there are too many other better options to choose from. My party had 12 people, and all except me was a native El Salvadoran, and this was the general consensus, and I agree with their observations.

Good breakfast, just pick and choose what you like. The food is typical for Salvadoran meals so it's a good place to try. Regular coffee includes refills.The restaurant and its bathrooms are clean.Area is easy to walk to by Salvadoran standards.

The food here is good they have limited parking spaces however they do have security guards protecting the lot. They also have a bakery inside the restaurant. I really enjoyed the “Ensalada De Frutas”. The bathrooms are clean and the staff are very attentive and quick.

Delicious authentic food!! Definitely recommend

It's not a tourist one restaurant....and it's better, because.. coming here , you like dividing into warmly Family circle ❣️

Tried of one my favorite restaurant in the US here in El Salvador just to compare quality and taste. Meat quality is best in the US restaurants not flavor and the T-bone was hard. Won't be return to this place.

It is very popular. However, if you are from US, don’t try it. Overcooked T-bone steak. Bad taste fries. We came here for the last night in El Salvador because the other taco place is packed. My daughter said the fried in school cafeteria is tasted better than in this Danny’s.

It was good. I enjoyed the food. Regarding the price it was expensive because this place is open 24/7. They can reduce their prices.

After being in El Salvador for a week, I was missing American breakfast. Stopped her and got a French toast grand slam. It was descent. They got it close except for the sausage. Not sure what that was but it wasn’t breakfast sausage.

Breakfast was delicious, breakfast are available all time, 24/7 service, service time 4/5

I had chicken tenders with Broccoli instead of fries because I am watching my figure 😀 They were very accomodating to substitute the healthy alternative to the fries.

The food is really delicious, but a little bit expensive, but I think that the quality of the service makes this place a good one to go.

I don't know if it is the same restaurant manager from a year and a half ago but he didn't waste a chance to flirt with and try to pick up every good looking woman available (customers), including my wife. Dirty old man!

I was so happy to see a Denny’s in San Salvador, it’s like home. Or is it? It turned out to be one of the worst dinners of my life. Let’s state what was acceptable if not good: the service and the chicken fingers. The hamburger was simply unedible. The meat was drier than a bag of sand under the July sun. It was assembled without any sense. The onion rings were not the very good one I used to know, they were greasy and tasteless. With no humps. Definitely a seriously negative experience.

For those who know Denny's in CA, this is the closest you'll get to it. Nice place for a date with your lady, family or friends. It ain't cheap but it's worth it.

Need a place to stay?

Come hungry as they serve very generous portions. Food is flavorful and what you expect although it may not be the best looking once is on your plate. Staff is courteous and helpful. Ambiance is great and 80s music selection is excellent.

Great food, staff is outstanding and Incredible. Portions always bring a smile to your face... With "I don't want to stop eating" flavor!Desserts are a must! And decoration makes you feel, really comfortable

Fresh food, great service, and they are pro law enforcement and security personnel. Only place I have seen that offers free coffee to these first line workers much like the US.

One of my best breakfast restaurants, service was amazing and the food delicious.If you are looking for a good breakfast restaurant I highly recommend you this one .

Amazing, cozy, relaxed and fun place. Lots of food and desserts to choose from, authentic US flavor. Extremely pleased and highly recommended. We'll continue coming here.UPDATE:New location, new setup, new everything! I love it! I was there last Friday (after months of waiting) and the new place is awesome! I was impressed with everything, bathrooms are just too cool, food is great as always and the staff and security are helpful, polite and willing to help in any way. This new location is amazing, GREAT JOB!

My favorite restaurant in El Salvador. The food is good, service is great, and they only hire orphans which I think is so damn cool

The story behind the restaurant was great but the food and service was even better.

Great American style dinner in El Salvador with an old school themed decoration customer service is really nice and friendly food is really good. Yes I have a few suggestions for you I'm from NY and we love Bacon and cheese in a toasted bread roll also muffins different flavors like bananas blueberries etc and finally toasted bagels with or without cream cheese different type of bagels like sesame bagel onion bagels everything bagels and more

Loved it, Southern food in El Salvador, its all delicious, they have chicken and waffles, corndogs, fish and chips, needed more room to eat a bit if everything and the iced tea was delicious, brought back some memories

Hands down my facourite diner. Classic American food, perfectly executed, unique in El Salvador, and very generous proportions. It also features 50s decor, a patio, and a play area for kids. Best of all proceeds go to a just cause when you spend here!

Family or friends environment, order tipical food like pupusas, pan con pollo o gallina, or if you prefer something like beans, scrambled eggs and cheese it's okay. Some girls who pick the order nay not be that friendly but the supervisor it's quite friendly.

Best traditional Salvadoran food!

Good.

Delicious food!

Exelent pupusas y panes

good

(Translated by Google) The pupusas were excellent, the attention of a lady was special, the location is difficult to park, it doesn't matter if you go by taxi or leave it. The place gets quite crowded.(Original)Las pupusas excelentes, la atencion de una señora fue especial, la ubicacion es de dificil parqueo, que no importa si va en taxi o lo dejan. El lugar se llena bastante.

Excellent coffee, awesome food, desserts and chocolates, great customer service, one of the best bakeries in our country. Comfy and quiet place to escape from the city noise (while being in the city). Downside: few parking slots.

Great service, beautiful outdoor space. They take the proper measures to prevent the COVID spread. Fine pastry and desserts.If you like strong coffee order the espresso, if you prefer a mild coffee have the Shaw's special. They offer decaf options too.This is for sure one of my favorite spots.

I've been at Shaw's Zona rosa many times but today was the first time checking this one at Masferrer. Nice place, clean and they have a nice backyard to drink coffee; however the customer service was really poor, they took a long time to take my order, the waitress took other ppl's orders but not mine, my orange juice was super bitter that I could not even drink it all and no one came after to check if needed it something else, in fact I had to get up and ask for my bill at the cashier. I hope they can improve the customer service for future customers.

Great desserts but the parking space is insufficient , also a lot of traffic in the zone so it’s difficult to get in and out of the parking lot.

Great selection of desserts

Loved 😍 😍

(Translated by Google) I like it but it is too expensive in terms of coffee and desserts.In other places you can find the same quality of product at a lower price.In cloves and cinnamon for coffee and desserts for 4 people it cost us approximately $20... Here it was 37!!! It's too lonely for coffee(Original)Me gusta pero es demasiado caro en cuestión al café y los postres.En otros lugares pueden encontrar la misma calidad de producto a un menor precio.En clavo y canela por café y postres para 4 personas nos salieron aprox 20$... Acá fueron 37!!! Es demasiado solo para café

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the desserts are delicious! Super recommended.(Original)Excelente atención y los postres son riquísimos! Súper recomendado.

It has a varied menu, with homemade food and typical appetizers in the afternoons. The place is large, so you can almost always find a place to sit. The prices are moderately high. The product is quite good. Attention is acceptable. Too noisy for me.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, very clean and very tasty food.(Original)Excelente servicio, muy limpio y muy rica comida.

(Translated by Google) There is always a variety of foods, the staff is very friendly, the place is always kept clean. And it is immensely appreciated that the lighting is relaxing and not hospitable white light.(Original)Siempre hay variedad de comidas, el personal es muy amable, el lugar siempre se mantiene aseado. Y se agradece onmensamente que la iluminacion es relajante y no luz blanca hospitalaria.

(Translated by Google) The Maquilishuat coffee shop branch in Metrocentro. It has a fairly varied menu, with homemade food and typical snacks in the afternoons. The place is quite spacious, so you can almost always find somewhere to sit. Prices are moderately high. The product is quite good.

(Translated by Google) Expensive place and horrible food.... Totally unpleasant 🤢(Original)Lugar caro y horrible la comida.... Desagradable total 🤢

(Translated by Google) The time you wait in line to order and pay is terrible, incredible that on holidays there is only one person checking out in line, with a bad attitude, the tables are more than 90% empty, people waiting more than 15 minutes, no I imagine what it would be like if they had the demand for pizza hut. I'm sorry for the owners, I could triple the use of tables just by attending to the office. The food is no different than Mr. Donut or something similar but you spend more time waiting and less time enjoying. I don't recommend it, they need to improve.(Original)Es pésimo el tiempo que esperas en cola para ordenar y pagar, increíble que en días festivos haya solo una persona despachando en cola, de paso con mal actitud, las mesas vacías en más del 90%, las personas esperando más de 15 minutos, no imagino como sería si tuvieran la demanda de pizza hut. Lo siento por los dueños, podría triplicar la utilización des mesas con solo atender el despacho. La comida no es distinta a Mr. Donut u otro parecido pero dedicas más tiempo a esperar y menos a disfrutar. No lo recomiendo, deben mejorar.

(Translated by Google) Good place to eat. The prices are somewhat high. If you have a large eating budget, you can eat deliciously.(Original)Buen lugar para comer . Los precios algo altos . Si tiene un presupuesto holgado para comer , podrá comer rico

(Translated by Google) Honestly, I didn't like the place, it's strange to be there, but the El Relampago coffee and the tres leches that we ate were good.What we didn't like the most was that the bathrooms are super dirty and have a bad smell.(Original)Sinceramente no me gustó el lugar es raro estar allí, pero el café el relampago y el tres leches que nos comimos pues estaban buenos.Lo q más no nos gustó fue que los baños están super sucios y con mal olor.
