Unassuming restaurant that hits the spot. You know you’re at the right place when everyone is conversing in Spanish. We started with the Fried Yuca & Papusas ended the meal with the mix platter. The staff is attentive although the restaurant was packed. Kudos to the chef & server for keeping things moving. Will definitely be back for more.

Absolutely amazing spot! San Silvar reminds me of back home — good, fresh, and full of flavour. I ordered the mixed plate and a bunch of meat, bean, and cheese pupusas for the family at lunch, and everything was delicious. The pupusas were perfectly made, with just the right balance of filling and texture. The mixed plate was generous and satisfying. Such a warm, welcoming place — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Really enjoyed the authentic food here. I've been to quite a few salvadorian restaurants and this one has the best pupusas. Thick, cheesy and tasty. Prices are fair. I have ordered the fried yuca and fried plantain, both well done.

Incredible! Get the Tamarindo juice the Pork and Cheese Pupusa and the beef tacos! Great Tamales too. You can't leave without trying the fried plantain with refried beans and cream dipping sauces. Hidden gem for sure!!

Absolutely amazing. I am from st catharines and while in toronto I ordered 12 pupusas because I was craving them so badly. They did not disappoint I only shared 2 lol. I ate the rest over 2 days of meals worth the drive if you want some the flavour was amazing and cooked so perfectly. I will definitely be back for more.
