Casa Linda Salvadoran Cuisine, Dallas TX

The food was so good! The waitress provided excellent service. I highly recommend this place

Amazing customer service and delicious food! Everything about this place is truly authentic!

Bad service, the waitresses were not friendly, the food was very expensive for what they served, I ordered a cashew juice and it was pure water and the tip is taken out at once in the payment and it is 20% terrible, they do not deserve 20%

Unfortunately bad experience on first time visit. My daughter noticed a small green worm crawling on one of the sauce containers. She ended up not eating anything from fear of finding similar bugs inside food. The pupusas were not tasty for myself and another person. Seems like they mostly put beans and cheese and very small amount of pork (chicharron) as we didn't taste much of it. I hope management takes steps to clear up the bugs problem as this is a health safety hazard.
The horchatas are good. Our expectations were high based on reviews. We do not plan on returning for bugs issue.

First time here and the food was pretty delicious. Carne asada is well seasoned. They have a spicy green salsa, which is nice. Their pupusa mixta is good as well. Highly recommend.

My food was poorly cooked, disgusting, they took my tip without my consent and they didn't give me napkins and the menu was made of paper

Bad experience they took my tip without my knowledge they took 20 dollars pecimo from me Service the pupusas are pure dough

First time eating here and it was one of the worst experiences with Salvadorian food.if you’re trying to eat authentic Latin food you should visit Spanish only restaurant this restaurant is overpriced for English speaker who are trying to enjoy the Spanish culture also when paying they chose 20% tip without our consent

The beans were ugly and cold plus the menu is paper and the food was very disgusting plus it was very expensive and they stole 17+5+7 dollars from me. Only for tips and also my brother almost choked on the ugly meat.

If you're looking for incredible Salvadoran food in the Dallas metroplex, look no further. Casa Linda Salvadorian Cuisine has it all and you are definitely going to thank me later.

I used to live in Washington DC, where there is an abundance of fantastic pupuserias and Salvadoran restaurants to choose from. It's one of the many things I miss about living there, and it's been years since I have had the chance to have Salvadoran food again. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that in the northeast suburbs of Dallas, Salvadoran food is now in abundance. I quite literally came home from an appointment in the area giddy with excitement, and I made a plan to come back with my partner as soon as possible to introduce him to all of the best Salvadoran dishes.

At first, it was hard to decide which restaurant to try first, since there are now so many to choose from (!), so I decided to narrow down my options by searching the menus for one of my favorite dishes - pechuga con crema, an incredible creamy chicken dish that I have been craving since I left DC. Casa Linda Salvadorian Cuisine was the first place I came to that had both a great average rating AND pechuga con crema on the menu, which sealed the deal for me.

And I am so very happy to report that it more than lived up to my expectations. The pechuga con crema was every bit as good as any I had back in DC, and you literally cannot beat the prices here. I don't think you could have this good a meal for this price point literally anywhere else in Dallas, heck, maybe not even anywhere else in this STATE. For under $60 (pre-tip) we were able to FEAST on five pupusas with various fillings, a full order of pechuga con crema, a full order of carne asada (both of which came with homemade tortillas in addition to various sides), two aqua frescas, AND a dessert. That's an insane amount of food, and we brought home enough leftovers for at least 2-3 more meals for both of us.

The carne asada and pechuga con crema were both delicious, the beans are some of the best I've ever had (I'm not much of a bean person, but I would happily eat these every single day, they're that good), the homemade tortillas are the perfect texture, the pupusas are bursting with flavor and served with delicious cabbage slaw and some kind of tomato-based salsa, and the aguas frescas are fresh and sweet and clearly homemade. Which brings me to another point - literally every single item on the menu (with the exception, I'm sure, of the ice cream with dessert) is made by hand and it SHOWS. The passion fruit and hisbiscus aguas frescas we had were so fresh and flavorful that I had downed half of mine before I bothered to come up for air, it was just so freaking refreshing after being in the Texas summer heat. Everything we ordered was clearly fresh and made that day, and all the flavors worked together seamlessly. It was truly a joyous dining experience.

And the staff is so friendly - I was amazed by how well we were treated from the second we sat down. The owner, Blanca (I hope I got that right) even came by to see how we were doing, and we ended up having a fantastic conversation with her. It's clear that she loves what she does and she's fantastic at it.

This is 100% going to be a regular dine-in and take-out spot for us for as long as we live within driving distance, and I honestly don't think you could find a better place to get your Salvadoran fix.

Just be aware - the food here is addicting, and once you've had it for yourself, you're going to crave it all the time. Don't say I didn't warn you.:)

You're welcome.

Food was amazing delicious freshly done. Pupusas were much bigger then expected that’s a plus. Server was very nice and courteous. Place is amazing gives off cool elegant atmosphere vibe. Great for a date night vibe, music was awesome. Prices are decent. Will definitely look forward to coming here again

Fabulous local spot! The food was delicious, every morsel! The service was great. The place was a little slow but it was nearly 8 on a Wednesday; there was a steady stream of pickup orders for those enjoying the delectable dishes from their home. You must give this place a try! Don't let the the location in a strip center deter you, this is authentic and delicious! The chicharrón was perfectly succulent, and the pupusas were soft and fluffy! Loved the Aguas frescas! 100% will be back!

Extraordinarily good food, reasonable prices, nice folks, in a comfortable if basic environment. I would put the food here among the very best food in Dallas, including restaurants costing two or three times as much. Although they've been open for over a year and a half, and are in the general neighborhood, we did not find out about them until yesterday. Boo! We started with pupusas as an appetizer, one pork and cheese, one cheese and loroco (a Central American edible flower), both served with an unusual, excellent spicy slaw. For entrees, we ordered the Bistec Encebollada (steak with onions) and Camarones el Diabla (shrimp with a spicy tomato based sauce), both recommended by the owner who also cooks. Accepting his recommendations did not go awry. Both were served with uniquely flavorful black beans, salad, rice, and fresh, handmade El Salvadoran tortillas (made of masa, but much thicker than Tex Mex tortillas). High quality meat and fresh produce, interesting and well-balanced flavors. Nice touches included table service, cloth napkins, real plates and silverware, and an original mural as part of the decor. Although the location in a shopping center at Jupiter and Garland Road is a bit out of the way and might cause one to have doubts, it would be worth the trip from anywhere in town. Highly recommended!
Still highly recommended after three years?

I ordered a seafood platter with cream and it was the worst I've ever eaten, it didn't taste like anything and the pupils didn't use it or season it, very bad experience, everything was horrible, I wasted 30 dollars for something that didn't work and it was my first time trying this place I

Pupusas were not that good I asked for mixed pupusas carnitas and cheese and it was mainly cheese.

Recommended 100% the food always tastes good and the service is very good and friendly above all!
