Fantastic hole in the wall. Tortas are great value, we tried chorizo but would try another type next time. Chorizo pupusa was great as was the squash. Also ordered two tamales
Our first time visiting this place and we got it to go. Wow. What amazing food. What an amazing variety. The pricing was great. We will definitely be dining here again in the future.The papusas......? ?❤
On the short list for best restaurant in town. I've been working my way through the menu and haven't found a single thing I haven't loved. Authentic and affordable. I'm still shocked how much food I can get for the price.
Great place to eat but service was a bit slow.
I have been patronizing El Eden since they opened the restaurant. They offer good food and are the only Salvadoran restaurant in Hagerstown. They used to offer great food and friendly service, but lately the service has deteriorated tremendously. On several occasions, they gave me the wrong food or charged me incorrectly. I continued to ignore it because they are the only game in town. My last visit was the last straw. I ordered over the phone and was told that my order would be ready for pickup in 20-minutes. I arrived at the restaurant after the 20-minutes and the server had forgotten to place my order. I had to wait an additional 30-minutes for my order. I made a big mistake and took my food home without checking the order because I had several bags and they tye the bags tightly, When I got home, I realized that I was missing two entire meals and a couple of items were wrong. I called the restaurant and was told to bring my receipt the next day to get a refund for the missing items. I live in Waynesboro, PA and going back to Hagerstown is extremely inconvenient. I went the next day and got a refund for the missing items. I complained about the wrong items and the long wait, but didn’t even received an apology for their mistakes. I requested to speak to the manager to place a complaint and was told that the owner is the manager and he’s not usually at the restaurant. I wasn’t even provided with any contact information for the owner. I have stopped going to El Eden. I prefer to go where I am treated with respect and my business is welcomed. I’m Salvadoran and my family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers value my opinions about food because I grew u in the restaurant business. My mother owned a restaurant in El Salvador and worked as a cook for several major employers in El Salvador, Texas, and California. In addition, I worked in the restaurant industry for twenty years, including, Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD. Woodmont is one of the most exclusive clubs in the United States and their members are extremely wealthy. Members often bring special guests to the club . I had the pleasure of seeing secretary public figures including President Bill Clinton and Michael Jordan when I worked there. People trust my opinion because they consider me an expert in Salvadoran, gourmet, and fine food.
Great Food Reasonable Prices and Good Service good recipe for I will be back Thank You and Please keep up the good Work
Se tardan mucho en la comida y sin groseros!!
I saw coffee on the door.. walked in, not one human smiled or said hi/greeted me. The worker was taking food to a table and passed by. Saw a few other workers. I turned around and walked back out. I was looking for gourmet coffee anyways.
While they didn't get my order correct, I honestly did not care because everything was delicious and "the real deal", authentic cuisine (at a great price!) We got tacos (I cannot recall which kind), bean pupusas, tamales, and the beef soup. I'm typically not a huge fan of tamales, but the tamales here changed my mind. The soup here is going to be my go-to comfort food when I'm feeling under the weather because the base is one of the best I've tasted (though admittedly the beef was a bit tough). I'd come back here in a heartbeat.
One of those hole in the wall spots that's just really good. It's good enough service. They are friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. But they aren't going to check on you for a million refills. As a server myself, I'm ok with that. Spanish is the main language for staff and customers. The food being excellent and like super super inexpensive are the main reasons to eat here. And like anywhere else right now, they don't have a huge staff so be patient and kind.
