Best place in town, one of the few places in town offering really good authentic Central America food. Fritanga, Pupusas, CHicken Pastelitos«kids’ favorite», Salvadorian horchata… etc. really great service

Made fresh and takes time to prepare the food so expect it to take a few minutes longer, but let me tell you it’s worth the wait! Fresh, authentic, and made with love. If you love food you need to try this place. I will be back next time I’m in Las Vegas. I would love to see them offer Rojita, Toña, and Flor de cana.

Great service and delicious food!!! The food brought back memories from my childhood, I will definitely come back again and bring my future kids to eat so they can taste a bit of their origins! The tostones were super good!!!

Steak was fresh and very tasty along with the cheese. There was only one waitress so it took an hr and a half to get in and out. Over all if you crave nica good, it’s a good place to eat. Not too cute inside either

Came for a pick up of pupusas and just to let you know the prices have changed. $ 2.00 — $ 2.50 a pupusas and Horchata Salvadoreña is $ 5.00. Food is good though.

Food was okay and I guess price was decent. Service was kind of poor. Never got refill on water. Took them almost an hour to get food out. It was 8:30pm and their AC was off. Music was loud… sorry, not fond of música criolla.

Normally I don’t like the restaurant that serve a combination of food from different countries. I came to this place looking for Nicaraguan food. Even though the personal were not Nicaraguan, the food was definitely Nicaraguan. The only think I didn’t like were the beans. Back home we use the small red beans, that it is called Frijol de seda. Here they use what most of the places use, big red beans. Not the same flavor but it was ok. The place doesn’t have a good presentation. More ghetto style. They don’t keep it up but that is ok. I came in for the food. The girl at the counter I believe she was from Colombia and the waitress Mexican which gave me a second thought. Nevertheless, food was good. They give you a good portion. Next time I may try something else.

The food is good also customer service was good. The only thing that turned me off about this place is that it smelled really bad. The first time I went I sat by the front door so everything was ok. The second time I went and I sat in the back and it smelled like urine that was gross. Then I wanted to give it another try and I couldn’t stay as soon as I entered it smelled like paint it was very strong smell so as soon as entered I left. Then I went another time and the same. the smell was different but it was not a food smell. The reason why I went several times to try this place is because the food was good. But those bad smells gave me a warning signal. So I went to different restaurants.

First time here, the PUPUSAs were ok. Still the best place in town is las PUPUSAs on desert inn and valley view. I was very disappointed when we asked for aguas fresca and I don’t think they make their own. They taste out of a carton. I think kern. I mostly likely not a to come back to this place.

Bahía Centro America Restaurant is the place to go to get your fritanga on in Las Vegas. What is fritanga? I’m glad you asked… A fritanga(pronounced – free– tan– ga – yes, roll that R …) is the common name used for restaurants that make authentic home-cooked Nicaraguan foods in an open-air/street food type of environment. The staple foods at a Nicaraguan fritanga include: Gallo Pinto(rice and beans), carne asada(grilled meat), tostones(fried sliced green plaintain), platano frito(fried ripe plaintain)/maduros(sweet plaintain), yuca, queso frito(fried cheese), and a cabbage salad. I was raised on fritanga on my many visits to Yambos in Miami, Florida(look it up) and on frequent trips to Nicaragua. The hubs and I hunted this little charmer down to fill up on fritanga goodness. We ordered… Dine In… (2) Fritanga de res(gallo pinto– rice and beans, sweet plantains, crispy plantain chips, fried cheese, cabbage salad, and carne asada– skirt steak) for $ 12.99 a pop. (2) Cacaos(a sweet chocolaty milk drink that has a more bitter taste than normal chocolate milk since they use real cacao bean shavings/powder to make it) And To Go. (1) Salvadoran ‘quesadilla’ cake(sweet dessert corn bread/pound cake hybrid that is often found in local panaderías in El Salvador) We were very happy with this unassuming location. Let me be clear: There are no frills to this spot and it is not ‘5 star’ dining. However, the food was legit, authentic, and cooked with care. The fritanga was good and the hubs really loved the flavorful steak. I gobbled down my plantains, gallo pinto, and queso frito lickity split. Our plates were licked clean in no time. This was a true sign we would be back. We even grabbed an El Salvadorian treat to go which we will enjoy warmed up with our coffees tomorrow morning. Our server was sweet and we had a good experience. Note– rating is focused on food and service. The location and décor is a bit underwhelming– I still will return for the food.

In an unassuming and rundown plaza, a new pupuseria popped up this summer. I put off visiting but once I finally did? Mindblown. In addition to pupusas, they have a menu of Mexican meals with seafood and grilled meats. Pupusas are the star though, and they’re great: got the queso camarones(shrimp) and queso frijoles to try(beans), and both were ample sized, well-priced, and stuffed with toppings. Salsa and slaw on the side, salsa is practically a purée but flavor is awesome– not too acidic, not to spicy, perfectly balanced. These are pupusas I’d get again, and it’s rare for me to say that. Also opted to try some stuff on the appetizer menu: there’s a yucca frita dish with pork(can’t remember the exact name), served with a chopped salad and more salsa. The yucca and meat were crispy, could have used a tiny bit of seasoning but I was pleased that they weren’t greasy. Cut of meat(small chunks) was very fatty, but I think that is specific to the dish not an error on the part of the kitchen. Lastly, I tried the tamale elote con crema– basically a corncake wrapped in a corn husk, made with masa flour like a tamale. This was not my kind of dish, as it had a sweetness to it and I don’t like sweet corn. Not a bad dish though, and texture was good. Pupusas are $ 1.50−3/ea based on toppings, and again, are of good size and are amply stuffed. Yucca app was about $ 8 and portion made that fair– plus it’s a bit rare to find yucca in town. Tamal was maybe $ 2? Food easily could have been a lunch or two, total price was about $ 15 with tax. Interior of restaurant appears to include a small dance floor.
