This place was a great find for me. Hands down the best Tamales in the Tallahassee area. Everything that I have tried has been top notch. The prices are very affordable and the staff is always very friendly. No complaints at all.
Chicken Tamale. Quite good
Our family went here based on the previous reviews, we were not disappointed. Fantabulous food. Friendly and quick service. Tried new things and my kids loved it. The building is nothing to look at but the food is wonderful. We ordered a variety of foods and the waitress brought us extra plates so we could share. The pupusas, pastelitos, and fajitas were to die for. Give this place a try.
Everything about El Viroleno (with the exclusion of the building itself) was welcoming. Luvy, our waitress, was very helpful and patient. She also brought our table the extra pupusas from the kitchen (which is always appreciated!)We tried all kinds of the different drinks offered. I got the orange-flavored Jarritos, which essentially tasted like an orange Popsicle. A bit too sweet for me, but still yummy. We also tried orchata, a sweet and creamy rice drink, that was the tables favorite. We tried the Michelada (essentially a beer Bloody Mary) and while I’m sure they made it perfectly we were not fans at all. Tomatoes in beer didn’t bode well.As others have said the pupusas are wonderful and a must-try option. For anyone who doesn’t know, a pupusa is a cornmeal pocket with cheese and additional fillings can be added. The cabbage and salsa add an extra layer of flavor that is both crisp and flavorful.For the entree I had Pollo Guisada, which was flavored with typical Salvadoran seasonings (according to the menu – not my knowledge). The stewed chicken was delicious and practically fell off the bone. The rice and beans were a perfect temperature and some of the best seasoned I have ever had. Homemade tortillas with some shredded lettuce and dices tomatoes were given to everyone as an additional serving option as well.For dessert I ordered flan and was not disappointed. While there was nothing particularly special about this flan it was prepared quickly and the chill was just right.Parking is out back and right off Tennessee St. There is also an entrance in the back. I definitely suggest anyone who enjoys good food and service to give El Viroleno a try!
Do NOT MISS THIS HIDDEN GEM!!!. Went there for lunch one day based on the high reviews on here. The food AND the prices COMPLETELY blew me away!!! I got a meat papusa for only like $2 and the burritos for $8. They give you two burritos for that price and while they aren’t Moe’s Homewrecker’s size, they are definitely nice portions for the price…..AND you can get steak without any extra charge so I got one chicken and one steak. Excellent flavor! Even the rice and beans that came with them were seasoned well and didn’t taste like something most restaurants put on your plate just to fill space. Thinking bout going there again today. If you love Latin cuisine or just want to try it, this is a great place to start, Bay-Bey!
First off, I came here with a buddy of mine at 8pm after seeing online that they closed at 9. They had summer hours posted on their doors that said they closed at 8, we started to leave, but the woman seating customers repeatedly insisted that we come sit down, despite the fact that they were slammed. She apologized that we would have to wait and made sure that we never ran out of our drinks, chips, and salsa. The food was incredible, definitely going back. Tally gem
Best in town. El Viroleno is the best Spanish restaurant in town, I love.their pupusas…. Amazing cooks
