Centro America Restaurant

For 4 pupusas and 3 margaritas, I was charged $ 40.88. Way overpriced for what I’ve gotten and I didn’t get my receipt back. No me gusta.

Loved the food!!!
Great service! Sweet n nice girls!
Best Rearaurant /​Bar ever!!!

Very good food… huge selection on the menu. Will eat there again.

So i decided to take my mom to eat here to hopefully find some good Guatemalan food since i haven’t had some for some time now and as i arrive they bring some chips with red sauce and cotija cheese on top witch taste pretty good the second plate they brought was some platanos with beans and crema as i was eating the platanos i find a hard chicken bone that blended in the plate with the platanos so i came to a conclusion that my platanoes where deep fried with the same oil they fried chicken with witch is gross then the second plate arrived desatuno Centro Americano the cheese on the plate was super spoiled we almost puked and told the lady she said sorry people don’t really order cheese so it spoiled in the fridge so apparently they don’t have dates on their food and dont know if its spoiled before they serve it so diacusting and dirty so my next dish was a chuchito and they brought a plate with what it look like to me was a left over chuchito it was crumble masa and so nasty so i sent it back the waitress came back with another one 20 minutes later and it was exactly the same i said whats taking so long are u making it dont u should have those made she said sorry but the lady that makes chuchitos was fired and the cook dosent know how to make them properly and asked me if i still wanted it i said no thank you so disappointing my mom got really sick from that cheese she ate she went to their restroom and puked the food i will never ever go back the only reason i went in the first place was because a radio station was announcing it and i was craving central american food but by far the worst experience I’ve had i even created a Unilocal to let everyone know don’t go u will be disappointed and might get food poisoning so nasty…

They get 3 stars because the food was on point and the pretty girls. I get there after a long day at work on a saturday. They have about a handful of people dining around 6pm. I go to the counter and place an order to go, which wasnt much of an order. They tell me to take a seat and I do. Two more customers walk in and sit down. Another customer walks in and sits. Now at this point I have had been sitting for 15 mins now. The new customers have now gotten their meals and I am STILL WAITING! Literally 40 mins later, I finally get my order and I am told next time to phone in my order. I had ordered about a dozen of papusas, which I know does not take close to 45 mins to make. They were not busy at all. The only thing that will keep me coming bacc to this place is the fact that the food was good. So if you decide to eat here, just call ahead of time for your order. I can’t imagine how slow service is when it’s busy.

My favorite place to eat I love this food so yummy, really good service, I go with my friends and family all the time!!!

I think this is a very nice plate to eat all your favorite foods from centro america and mexico. Ive been here years ago and i never like the place cuz of this service but its under new owner now and i love the service food is great. I recommend it 100%

My wife and I went into this restaurant on a Saturday around 7PM. We ordered an appetizer, guacamole, which was good, but the salsa tasted like watery tomato soup and cumin.
We didn’t order anything else, because while waiting for our appetizer they started showing a boxing match and they had the sound running through their stereo system, which was turned up so loud it was painful.
While reviewing my credit card statement I noticed two charges from Centro America: One for $ 7.43, Guac and tip, and another for $ 18.86, which was never authorized. I attempted to call the restaurant several times to get the situation resolved, but either there was too much background noise and the person couldn’t hear me, they hung up on me after saying the manager wasn’t there, or they just hung up. I had to dispute the charge through my credit card company since Centro America was no help.
Very unprofessional, painful atmosphere, and terrible customer service.

The food is good. Prices are normal I guess. Last saturday we decided to go and treat ourselves to a little extra because we had a
$ 15 certificate which meant if we spent $ 30 or more at their restaurant they would deduct $ 15. We got super excited and ordered a favorite shrimp dish, pupusas and yuca frita. When we were finally ready to pay, they would not honor the certificate I had purchased from restaurant. Com. In fact they stated it was a scam and would simply not honor it. That absolutely made me mad! Why would they advertise themselves as something and not honor it. Sad thing is that im a loyal customer of
and they couldn’t or wouldnt do anything either but to exchange the certificate for something else. well, im definately cutting my eating out list shorter from now on…

Despite the name «Centro America», some Mexican dishes make the menu– but they’re well-​executed. Menu has pages dedicated to Honduran and Salvadorian food, as well as tons of seafood dishes.
Each table gets a complimentary basket of tortilla chips with a tomato sauce (not spicy) and crumbled cotija cheese– very light take on nachos, tasty and simple.
#1 Combo includes a spectacular chile relleno, a really great cheese enchilada, and a sadly-​soggy crispy taco with really dry chicken.
The #74 plate (forgot the fancy name) has a thin beef cutlet with a good char and juicy flavor, along with grilled shrimp. Both plates come with tasty rice and beans.
Despite their giant sign in the window about their pupusas, I was underwhelmed by them– not much cheese or flavor, even when picking the revueltas version.
Interior and exterior both have seen better days. Service was friendly. Seems like full bar is available– saw several margs and beer specials. Felt like some of the prices were a bit much– our meal above came to $ 33 before tip.

Just came here for the first time and I love the place! I wanted pupusas and this was the closet place to me that served them. So glad I came because they were having a special for take out orders of pupusa for 99cents each (no, it’s not Thursday, it’s Monday) .
The staff is beyond friendly and made it very comfortable for my children and I as we waited for our order. Best customer service I have ever received in Las Vegas at any place! I would LOVE to come back and dine in and enjoy.
Oh and my pupusa were perfect! Not greasy or any of the complaints I have seen in other reviews. This is officially my pupusa spot!

We were treated to dinner here by a Salvadorean couple we’re friendly with. I visited El Salvador eons ago, before the fighting, and all I remember was the beer (!), so I kinda think of this as a new experience. Oh, they do have Mexican food, too, even though Mexico is part of North America. (Okay kids, the geography lesson for today has left the building).
The restaurant is fairly large, spanning about three storefronts, but nothing about the décor excited me. Herb G. and I tried pupusas for the first time; we turned down the offer after our friend said that they contain chicharrones, which I can’t stomach, but changed our minds when he said we could get them with just beans and cheese. We loved the taste, but the grease was a little more than I could bear.
I followed the lead of our host and ordered a dish called Isla or Bahía something: a paper-​thin steak covered with pico de gallo and four shrimp, with rice and refried beans. It was a major disappointment — everything was room temp enough to make KTNV’s Dirty Dining list, and the steak and shrimp were overcooked and dried out. The rice was mush, and the beans were, well, refried beans. If I’d thought of it I would have asked for black beans. Herb stayed just south of the Rio Grande (okay, so I lied) and had enchiladas, which he enjoyed. And his dish was hot.
It was Saturday night, and at 10 pm the atmosphere changed completely. A DJ set up shop and started playing great música latina — cumbia, bachata, reggaeton. The lights were dimmed and the friends and relatives of our friends showed up, ordered a bucket of beer, and went to work dancing their tushes off. Me, too! The place has a full bar, and I would have been downing margaritas, except Herb ordered my usual rotgut wine for me while I was outside making a phone call.
I wouldn’t go back for the food, though my little dog Jake loved the leftover steak, but I’d sure go back for the music!

never ever again! my family & i were craving pupusas and this is the closest place to us so it seemed perfect… now im thinking gosh if only we would have just driven a bit more and gone to las pupusas then we all wouldnt have gotten food poisoning! i had to miss work today on top of that… i should have seen the warning signs… when i first called they said the total would be 12.97…when i got there she told me 13.00 now its just 3 pennies so i didnt even complain… now i am because it wasnt worth any of our pennies! 2^nd there was a weird smell upon walking in… now i saw a couple of ppl eating there so i thought well its probably not too bad and since its almost closing theyre probably cleaning or something & i did just come out of an amazing smelling car… WRONG! they are just nasty period and the pupusas came out as the greasiest pupusas ive ever seen! we had to wipe and soak all that grease off of them… why didnt we see all the warnings?! im half salvadorian trust me it was just masa rolled in grease! avoid avoid avoid… try las pupusas or anywhere else instead!

Check your bill, check it twice!
We came here during the Marquez Pacquiao fight after asking around for the best place to watch the fight close to my house. they were charging 15.00 dollars cover charge which I thought it was fair, went inside, sat at a booth and asked for menus. we ordered a bucket of beer, some raw oysters and other appetizers. we kept ordering beer and appetizers all through the fight. the food was good, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was tense betweeen Pacquiao and Marquez fans as I kept diving into the oysters while my friend had their eyes glued to the TVs.
at the end my friends and I were as happy as we could be. lots of good food, lots of beer and victory for Marquez we couldn’t ask for anythings else… check please. :(
Ok, we were drunk and happy but not that drunk, I had more mercury than alcohol in my system and I noticed that the prices on the check were different from the prices on the menu. Everyone In the restaurant wanted to leave after the fight so waitresses and cashiers were busy a the time so we didn’t want to make a big deal so we just assumed that the prices were higher during special events, we paid the bill and left the restaurant hating them in silence.
I’ve been back few times after for the oysters and they also have good deals on pupusas but the check keeps being inconsistent with the menu prices or regular prices during advertised happy hour but now I make sure to point it out, I’d like to think that they’re just honest mistakes… lots of them.
If I was to rate this place solely by the food, this place would get 5 stars. But I hate going to a place where I can’t drink to the point of obvibion for fear of waking up the next morning and realized that I’ve been fuc’d…I’ll be back.

Love this place for breakfast. Pretty easy to get a seat and creamy beans and eggs are so tasty. Oh plus warm tortillas, avocado and cream. Best place to get a breakfast that isn’t jammed packed with Summerlin families. Waitresses are kind but limited English, but we can communicate just fine ;o)

This place is pretty dang good. I can’t say I have had much but I come here for the pupusas.
I usually come here with big groups, the service hasn’t been the fastest but that could be because of the size of group I have been with. If you ask for something they will usually get it to you pretty quick though.
They give you free chips in some tomato based sauce with cheese on top like Jadira said. If you want more just ask and they will hook you up.
The pupusas are flavorful and super cheap. Most of them are only a $ 1.50. Can’t really beat that. Well you could but they are worth the buck fifty.

I would come here just for their complimentary chips. They don’t give you the average basket of chips and salsa. They give you tortilla chips that are smothered in some sort of tomato sauce concoction with crumbled cheese on top. Just between the three of us, we had 4 baskets! The menu has a lot of variety. This is one of the only places in Vegas where I can find actual Honduran cuisine along with lots of other Central American dishes.
Even with all the complimentary chips we had, my mom still wanted chips and guac. When ordering, they asked us if we wanted it Mexican style or another style that I can’t remember the name of, but it included eggs. We stuck to what we knew and ordered the Mexican style. It was VERY fresh and the chips were nice and crisp.
I ordered 2 ceviche tostadas with a side of rice and beans. The tostadas were too salty for my taste, so I wouldn’t order that again. The rice and beans were very good though. My mom ordered Chile Relleno. Her plate was HUGE because it also came with rice, beans, and chips. She couldn’t finish it all, but she enjoyed everything she did eat. My sister ordered Sopa de Caracol. I didn’t sample any of it, but it had such a delicious aroma. There were also very large pieces of shrimp in along, as well as slices of banana.
On top of everything we ordered in the restaurant, we also got 4 Pupusas, 2 tamales, and a sweet corn drink all to-​go. I’m not sure how much it came out to because my sister treated us out, but the meal was more than satisfying.
