El Baron Restaurant & NightClub

We got some pupusas to go. They made them vegan and they are gluten free. You can choose rica flour or corn flour. We got lorroco and beans. Fun Latino club vibe. It was delicious.

El Baron is a latino night club with some great food choices like Pupusas and Aquachiles. It has a nice divey feel and a great atmosphere of classic Latin music and a mixed crowd of older and younger latinos. We came on a Thursday night where they had a live futbol game which was later replaced with lively karaoke with some of the best singers I’ve heard in a while. Service was nice and got us our food and drinks quickly. Keep in mind this is more of a drinks spot than and food spot so don’t expect normal table service. I recommend getting the mango/chamoy margarita or a modelo in a glass with Tajín on the rim. Highly recommend. (Also didn’t have any issues with Ingrid trying to steal my husband like others mentioned)

So disappointed! I've been coming to this restaurant/club since it was call Club Tropical best music best food best service during my youth live, now that is call el baron 👎👎👎 Today I decided to go after 7yrs just for fun can't complain about anything else except when it was time to pay the bill. They probably thought my partner and I was drunk or something because the total was $74.07 paid with a $100 dollar bill and my change was incorrect I was $5 dollars and something change SHORT! A register or a calculator doesn't lie. Iam sorry but if they did that to me? You tell me what kind of business are they running? I felt like grabbing the microphone and telling everyone in the restaurant/club to check the bill. That's not ok and I will go back and make a scene or report them if it happens again.

Food & service are excellent. Drinks are okay, music is excellent, live bands are excellent, karaoke is excellent, and I only wish there was more variation of age groups that came here. It's typically a much older crowd that is always here but still a great time.

I visit this establishment September 1st. This is the worst experience I've had in all my many years of dining out. First thing first there was no hostess no one to greet you. My boyfriend and I sat our self.. no biggie. They waiter came over within 5 minutes of us sitting down however she did not speak English, my boyfriend is bilingual so he was able to communicate with her what we wanted. We sat there for about 20 minutes and not even water and chips and salsa arrived. We notice a few times the waiter coming from the back with nothing in her hand. The restaurant was not busy as it was early in the evening and when we arrived they were only three tables occupied. I would be more forgiven and understanding if the restaurant was at capacity. It took exactly 30 minutes from the time we sat down for the entree to arrive 35 minutes for our drinks to arrive and exactly 40 minutes and chips and salsa showed up. The waiter came out once from the time we place our order to hug a customer. Bartender standing behind the bar not making any drinks. The waiter never came back to check on us nor did anyone else. The water nor jalapenos never arrived which we placed at the same time with entree. We had to get up to go get our own check. I would not recommend this place!

This is a food restaurant plis on friday and sat at night it turns into a nightclub sort off u can dance too after u eat i beleive the food time ends at 10pm or 9pm so if u like eating and dancing recomend this place pretty chill admosphere One more thing if you do buy food and go in a big party group they will automatily add tip on ur bill so be aware

I would never go again Very racist. Me and my cousin were in the area looking for food and drinks and this place popped up. We went inside and they had Karaoke in Spanish which wasn't the problem. Everyone was looking at us like we were Aliens. When the waitress came I asked for a food menu she told me the kitchen was closed i said ok I will continue to look at the liquor menu. Then I asked for a glass of water my cousin ordered a drink off of the menu that was handed to us. She came back about 10 minutes later without the water and told her that the liquor wasn't available. We just looked at each other and knew it was time to go. As we walked out the door we heard Cheering and Clapping and were disgusted.

Old school customer service at its finest, the food transport you back to the motherland I have not only brought my friends amd family but I will Definitely continue not only to recommend but continue to bring my business over and over again!

This is place is great! Food is awesome and the staff are super friendly. Took a party of 20 there. They were accommodating and got our orders out super fast.

Food was amazing, drinks were responsibly priced and tasted amazing. The staff was friendly and fast. The music was great. Loved it! Definitely bringing more friends for next time.

So It's somewhat of a small story as to how I found this establishment. I was literally driving in traffic and needed to use the restroom and was looking for a nearby restaurant. Thus I found this place. Jorge was very polite when I asked to use the restroom and this made me want to give the place a try. I ordered the hubby a grilled tilapia and I ordered a wet chicken burrito along with a side of fries to eat while waiting for the order. To my surprise they couldn't supply me ketchup with my side of fries although they taste very good. As far as the taste of the fish my husband didn't have any words. The wet burrito wasn't what I expected. It had everything I wouldn't have thought that belongs inside of a wet burrito. To make matters worse white rice was added. The service was awesome and the order was efficiently made but that's about it. The ambience of the establishment is awesome as it does have a bar setup and even a space in the restaurant to do some dancing if you like. The restrooms were very clean. They have two big screen TVs that entertains you as you eat. Parking is meager and I'm not too sure if street parking is available. What gets me is that the food looks beautiful to the eyes but for the price it should be more appealing to the taste buds.

I have came here a few times. Food is decent, pupusas are good but anything else is horrible quality and lack of taste. Service isn't the best and I actually never have had a decent plate of fried yucca but this time I was disappointed to find every chicharrón piece in my plate was nothing but a chunk of fat. I wasn't able to eat not even one piece of chicharrón. Prices are already expensive, not worth the time and money to come here. The amount of sauce and condiments they give you is a joke. Save your money and go to better places.

Not recommending this place at all! We went on a Saturday and they charge $15 the entrance fee! On top of that , they charge gratuity without letting you know! I usually give tip , and this time because another person Check for me and told me they were charging me the tip already otherwise I would have have give them more tip ! Another thing - it gets really hot in there ! I don't know if they had the air conditioner or not , but it was tremendously hot !

Papusas ARE AMAZING! Not sure if people understand how hard it is to run a restaurant and actually make money these days, but these guys have great food.

I didn't like the service, the food is not very good, they wanted to charge me 2 times for the service. (TIP), when I asked the waitress why they were charging me 2 times for the tip, she answered me the bad way, that if I wanted to leave more tip it was my decision. This is more of a nigh club than a restaurant. Look at the receipt twice before paying. Not good!

El sábado 29 de Junio de 2024; fuimos un grupo de amigos a celebrar un cumpleaños, en dos ocasiones llamamos al restaurante para estar claros cuánto costaba el cover y a qué horas empezaba, las dos ocasiones nos dijeron que empezaba el cover a las 8 pm, al llegar al restaurante a las 7:30 pm nos dice el "encargado" que debemos pagar cover.....le dijimos que habíamos llamado y nos dijeron que el cover empezaba a las 8 pm y que llegamos antes de esa hora y resulta que nos dice que no, que el cover empieza a las 7 pm que nos dieron mal la info y bueno nada, ni se disculpò por la mala información que da su personal.

If I could give a zero star I would. We came here after a Christmas party with a group of friends. We ordered drinks for about 8 people, we also ordered tap water as we were dancing. We ordered more drinks and also more water, the OWNER said no more water AS WE ONLY GIVE LIMITED WATER. It was THE GUN water. I've been in the hospitality industry for 18 years I've never experienced anything like it!. The worst place BECAUSE OF THE OWNER.

Came here for breakfast, which was really good but I was annoyed by the loud music. The service was really bad too. Not coming back even though I liked the food.

I came here after learning they make delicious pupusas and it's true! I got 3 pupusas: ayote y queso, harina de arroz solo frijoles, y loroco. Muy delicioso! Only feedback is to add more Mexican squash to the ayote y queso pupusa.

Hoy compre sopa de pata y la verdad no esta buena parece más agua que sopa no tenia sabor y el nervio y el pedasito de pata que nos dieron estaba todo duro.

Service is horrible,food isn't so bad The waitress are rude but as soon as they see you leave a good tip they pretty much throw themselves on you . Been here a few times just because my friends like it there because the waitresses know him and flirt with them

Este lugar está horrible, empezamos con el Señor Gordito que nos cobra la dentrada a $10 por persona y le di $40 y viene 10 minutos después ala mesa y me quiso cobrar otra ves Mañoso y le dijimos que no le di 2 $20. Después la meseras estaban muy enojados como que si no les gusta servir no trabajen de meseras. Cuando terminamos de comer ya no regresaron a la mesa como no estábamos comprando cerveza nos ignoraban. This place is horrible, the entry fee was $10 and the man that was at the door wanted to charge me twice he came back to our table telling me I didn't pay $40 for &4 people and I told him yes I have you 2 $20s. He then walked away. The servers were so rude and unhappy with their jobs. They didn't come to offer us drinks after we had eaten dinner and paid for our food. We had to go to the bar to ask for drinks because they ignored us. Ugly place.

It's always crowded and no parking lot. To park in the neighborhood you must have a city permit. They charge cover on the weekends which sucks because sometimes you just wanna eat and leave. The service is not good, it takes forever to get your food but the pupusas are delicious. The ambiance is good if you're there for the music, especially if you like merengue, cumbia and bachata. The dance floor is not big so I wouldn't call it a nightclub. It's a restaurant with a space to dance.

I visit this restaurant september 1st. And all my years dining out this was the worst experience ever. There was no hostess or no one to greet you on arrival.. no biggie. It was early in the evening and only three tables were occupied. I set myself and boyfriend down. The waiter came over within 5 minutes of us sitting down and proceeded to take our order. Unfortunately she did not speak English my boyfriend is bilingual and place the order for us. The same waiter came out to greet I am assuming a regular customer and went on to the back. She came out a few times nothing in her hand. 20 minutes has rolled off and we still sitting down with no drinks no salsa. Bartender is standing behind the bar no drinks are being made. At exactly 30 minutes our entree came out at 35 minutes the drinks arrive at exactly 40 minutes chips and salsa arrived. We did not get water or the requested jalapeno that was asked for at the time order was taken. The waiter nor anyone else did not come and check on us to see whether we needed anything else. We had to get up to get our own check. I will not recommend this restaurant. I would be more forgiven and understanding if this restaurant was at full capacity and it wasn't.

Food is very good, not salty, and breakfast is the best place to have a great morning, awesome

Tengan cuidado al usar una tarjeta de crédito en este restaurante sin avisarle le cobran un porcentaje de la cuenta en la tarjeta creo que no es legal y lo voy a investigar nunca me avía pasado en ningún otro lugar

One start is even too much for them ~ If you want to fine out go check it out~ Entrance) security guy who don't have manners, rude I thought he was police ~~ he was very rude ~ Dress code) look at the pic ~~ (it's like that) you can guess~ From tonight experiences ~ I have been other upscale clubs ~ I never had this disrespectful attitude from security guy before~ Even other managers came out and we tried to explain ~ He didn't even try to hear me out~ He ignored me and let other people go inside~ Wow it's my first time going to Spanish club ~ They ruined my experiences ~ Thank you for your good customer service I don't care how good music or food is Even I don't speak Spanish I can tell by he's hand gestures ~ He don't say a words just treat us like some kind of animal it was just disgusting ~ Wow I have to add this~ I red the other reviews and people who give them good reviews Never had good Mexican food restaurants or they just don't have good experience ~~ it's really funny~ Out side inside looks or feel cheap~ Even writing this much review waisting my time but Good luck~ he looks and he act so tough~ We were female ~ Wow go go powerful security guy you got the power lol What a good impression of Mexican guy~

I'm 71 years old and my wife and I went there on a Sat night, the security guard spoke no English and used hand movements to try and explain to me that he wanted to search me for weapons. \Low class, place that seems dangerous to visit.

This place is great. If you are looking for authentic Salvadoran food then this is the place for you. There is a little bit on the menu for everyone!

I don't know if it was a language barrier or if they were trying to rip me off, but I ordered 4 well vodka shots with sprite as a chaser. The lady said $12.50. That sounded about right to me so I gave her my card. I was charged $12.50 PER DRINK. Are you kidding me?!? That makes no sense. They also charged me for grey goose when I clearly said well vodka. Total rip off to pay $50 for 4 drinks. And this was middle of the day on a Saturday. It's not like it was loud and they couldn't hear me. The place was empty. So wrong in so many ways.

Es un lugar agradable. Especialmente cuando el djRicky está ahí . Hace un ambiente muy agradable, hablando del servicio, es pésimo. Y las meseras muy mañosas piensan que todo mundo está tomado y uno les paga en efectivo y se hacen las tontas y dicen yo no recibí nada,y se quedan con el dinero . Aparte cobran 8 dólares extras que por el servicio y 3.99 por usar tu tarjeta y todavía uno tiene que estar llamándolas para que ordenemos .y tardan mucho la comida.

Esté restaurant cada día va de mal en peor. Anoche fui con 3 amigas a comer y bailar, (siempre comemos cada vez de ir a bailar). La comida duró como una hora en salir y la verdad no la comimos porque estaba muy mala, pienso que todo hacen a la carrera y no ponen atención al sazón de la comida. Pedimos caldo de res, a de cuenta agua con un pedazo de carne y unos cuantos vegetales. Pupusas, una de arroz que sí me comí y un atol de elote que duró mil años en llegar y ya no me lo tomé. Mi amiga pidió un pan con pollo súper malo y la otra amiga pidió una botana y de tomar una ensalada, las dos cosas dice que no le gustaron. Súper decepcionada de este lugar

Came here because we heard the pupusa's were amazing. It took 50 minutes to get our food from the time we sat down. There were 10 other people in the restaurant. We ordered chips and salsa, 5 pupusa's and 2 waters. The waters came out in 15mins, we had to check in on the chips and salsa around 30mins and were told there were none. The pupusa's finally came out in 50mins and we're good. We got chicken & cheese and cheese & beans. No remorse from the staff on the slow service.

To bad there's not another section to seat They play loud music and their karaoke even louder and people sing horrible Yes Happy Birthday Norma (specially your table) all acting like clowns Margaritas sucks es más agua y hielo que ni color tienen ...... limon no está ácido está agrio como hechado a perder Lástima primera vez y que decepción por favor dejen de hacer Kareoke viejas nacas y ridículas ...... 6/22/2022 La comida es la peor que e comido Hacen arroz blanco y le añaden frozen veggies pasados en agua caliente se mira horrible como comida de hospital Los berros están todos marchitos y no te ofrecen dressing para la ensalada Los frijoles fritos están salados y el caldo de los chiles rellenos es agua con colorante porque no sabe a nada ..... Si hay personas aquí en Yelp diciendo que es la mejor Salvadoran food they ever had Let me tell you You have no taste I know what Salvadorian food taste like and it's delicious This restaurant is really an embarrassment.

El peor lugar y el peor servicio, no recomendable este lugar, solo atienden bien a sus conocidos

If you like pupusas, Salvorean breakfast, and dancing... THIS IS THE SPOT!!! I come here all the time, I really enjoy their breakfast. El baron(the boy) comes with chorizo (sausage) and a combination off egg, casamineto (beans and rice), cheese, avocado, and cream. The pupusas always hit the spot, they have revueltas, queso con loroco, camaron, and then some. This is their 2md location, I prefer this location better. Their parking lot isnt too big, but its never hard tonfind parking down the street or around the corner. On Fridays and Saturday nights it goes down if you feel like dancing. Although, I have never been, I have friends that go to enjoy a night of cumbias and salsa. Im sure you will have a lot of fun with your friends, there is a cover charge of $10. This place is worth going just for the food!

BAD SERVICE -mostly stems from the waitresses bad customer service -waitress and owner gave me a bad attitude -drinks sit at the bar for 15 min before they are delivered 15% GRATUITY and 3.5% SERVICE FEE -the 3.5% is poorly advertised, they never mention it until your card has been charged. They have one very small sign sitting behind the bouncer. The food was good and they played good Spanish music.

Love el baron! I'm a huge fan of Salvadoran food and in pre covid times it was great to go there have a bite and listen to music and dance! I've been fully sheltering in place- so cant go over there, but at least I can get their delicious food delivered to my house!

Got food poisoning for their ceviche. Not only was the food in transit for a half an hour (from under 3 miles away!), when it arrived, the burrito was cold and the ceviche was room temperature. Took a few bites, but it smelled off, so I threw it away. A few hours later, I was nauseas, had the chills, was constantly in the restroom and couldn't eat for two days. When I reported it to Grubhub, the restaurant didn't even call me, as promised. Will never order from here, again!

I really enjoyed my breakfast plate I ordered here. I didn't feel like having pupusas that day and was happy to find a traditional Salvadoran breakfast on the menu. The avocado, cream, and cheese were so good with the fresh tortilla. It was cheap too. The meats were pretty good too but I don't have much to compare it too since I don't often eat them elsewhere. I guess at night this place turns into a dance club and there may be a $5 cover.

I like this place. Sometimes you just want a cold Corona. Sometimes you want grub. Whatever you want, this place is rad. The ladies are always nice and everything I've ever gotten from here has been yummy and satisfying. And it's low key which for me is a plus

Trash service. Not coming back. Don't recommend. Warning don't event try it. Perhaps it does look appetizing but their service sucks. Might as well go anywhere else.

The food here is delicious. I order pupusas from the place at least 1 a week. The biggest game changer is that they deliver through door dash!! I always get 2 pupusas with cheese and beans, plus the plátano plate that comes with cream and beans. Yummy!!

The $15 cover charge for the evening was a major surprise. If it hadn't been for birthday celebration, I wouldn't have stayed. Not worth it. On top of that, you pay for valet parking. Saying the fee was unnecessary since the dance floor was small and the place was hot. Hot and the fans weren't enough to cool the place down. Also, why have the waitresses in short tight shorts and tight low cut blouses. Sexists much! Waitress need to be comfortable and I don't like it when people are being exploited like that. Food was good surprisingly. Not so good to pay a cover charge to a small dance floor with such deafening music! Rumba mix band was entertaining. Drinks were pricey. Guy had no character or personality. And neither did the waitresses

Dress code doesn't seem to apply to everyone, security at the door seems to pick and choose who can come in wearing certain items and who can't ..... my friend was stopped at the door and made to leave his baseball cap at the door so when we are taken to our table the person sitting I front of us has one on ,.. not to mention they say no hats but fedoras and tejanas are ok ??? Someone please explain ... I think it should be clear and fair across the board ... especially if the owner comes in wearing a baseball cap and sits at the bar ???? Really ??? You don't allow caps but you'll wear one???!!!

Ayer lunes 29 de nov fuimos a comer con toda la familia 10 personas, desde que llegamos la mesera nos trató de lo peor, pésimo servicio, y si a eso le sumamos que tuvimos que esperar 20 min para que agarraran nuestra orden y 1 hra para la comida, lo peor de todo es que las propias as después de 6 personas ellos la agregan, me imagino que por eso no se preocupan de la atención. Jamás volvería ahí,,, y no se lo recomiendo a nadie como salvadoreña la comida deja mucho que desear.

LOUD, food was meh Tried this placed out with a group of friends. We tried a bunch of things. Everyone seemed to like the pupusas and agreed that the service was a little strange, to pretty terrible. The music was very loud for 630pm dinner. The waitress didnt want to walk to my end of the table so she would hand people my drinks to hand to me. Or take my order by asking my friend what i wanted.... My gf and I ordered the pupusas, a hen tamale and mixed fajitas (Shrimp, chicken, carne). Pupusas were ok. Tamales were boiling hot (not spicy), and complete mush. not flavorful. Fajitas were a big pile of flavorless meat, not tortillas and and extra plate of rice and beans. I like a bit of spice and flavor in my food and this plate was just cooked meat. This place is good for loud latin music and pupusas. By some of the ratings this place seems like it would be a cool latin club but when we were there no one was dancing

The food is amazing, everyone I was with absolutely loved their food. A word of caution to my impatient friends out there....They're understaffed so it tends to take a little longer than usual for you to get things, but they were extremely polite and tried their best to accommodate our needs. Don't go if you're in a rush. A wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend.

Like a seaside regalia for your feet. Soothing yet tantalizing at the same time. Tuesday night... OY VEY!

Came here recently as a group of 6 on a Friday on our lunch break from work. The place was nearly empty, only 2 other tables but it took over 45 minutes for our food to be ready. Our waitress apologized and claimed that there was an order for 75 pupusas being made so hence the hold up, but still. And even after that, one of my coworkers wanted a refill on horchata and they didn't give it to us for free, despite the very long wait. The food was tasty but I feel like it's really expensive for the amount you get. And the horchata is good but I've had more flavorful. Parking was a hassle. Probably won't be coming back.

I love the music because it is mostly Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia and other latin music. I like that you can make reservations but you have to on time or else you will lose it. the tables are close together with other people which it does not give you no privacy at all. The reason that i gave this place a two star it is because they do not serve alcohol after midnight. I'm like what?? People barely get to those location around 10-11pm so it sucks that we cannot drink at that time. Since I had not finished my drink and it was passed midnight the waitress was hurrying me to drink it because they could not have anyone seeing that drink there. that just killed that mood and we left that location. They need to change that.

What a huge disappointment! First and last time I will be dining at El Baron. My family and I decided El Baron would be a perfect place for our moms birthday, authentic Salvadorean food and dancing what could be better? Unfortunately, once we arrived they had a belly dance show that lasted 1.5 hours! Yes, belly dance at a Salvadorean restaurant! Usually I would not have minded a nice show, but we were looking forward to listening to Latin music and dancing! The food was sub par. My husband ordered the chicken soup and it was over salted and without any real flavor. I ordered a breakfast plate, the eggs were over salted, the casamiento was mush and inedible. I honestly hope no one in my party gets sick from their food. Never again will I go to El Baron, I am upset I wasted time and money here!Oh and the parking is terrible!!!

The food is great! Love the environment and the staff is so friendly! Definitely recommend coming here.

Eh, the music was good if you're into Spanish but the drinks and food are overpriced. Our party consisted of 10 people, tip was included but keep in mind you'll be charged $5 for paying with card. Oh, you'll also get ,charged $15 just to enter the place (even though you're dining in). Plus I should addd that I was the birthday. Girl and I did not get a complimentary entrance this place is full of locals cuz there's no way anyone will afford to pay valet + all the added extras.

Went here for lunch with some coworkers. Food took 50 minutes to come out s the time we ordered. There was no other guest in the restaurant at the time not busy at all. Service was extremely bad, would not return.

Hmm...styrofoam plates. Individually plastic wrapped plastic utensils packaged with the thinnest napkin ever. Are we eating at a backyard party? Nope. It's El Baron. The destination of today's company lunch. And as the company's only vegan, I'm usually the most difficult one to please. Lucky them, places that serve salad and guacamole is usually pretty easy for me. All of the dishes were pre-ordered for us so the first thing plopped in front of us is the chips and salsa. The salsa was in such a big bowl that I thought it was soup at first. Lol! It may as well have been soup...the salsa is really runny! But tasty. Fried Yucca was next which to be honest I didn't ask how they are cooked so I can't be positive if they are vegan. But I was curious and my personal rule is: try things once...and if it doesn't make me sick, then yay. So I placed a small piece on my styrofoam plate but the prongs of my weak plastic fork kept bending so it wouldn't stab through the Fried Yucca. When I managed to punture through the crispy outside, I took a bite and I was pleased. The salad was next to come out but there was nothing special about it. They set it in front of us about 3 minutes before I asked them to bring out serving utensils and 6 mins before actually bringing out the smallest salad tongs ever...too lame to pick up one piece of lettuce. Salad tease! If you're anti-cheese, make sure you order it without the tofu-looking cubes of cheese. But for fear that salad would be my only option, I flicked the white cubes to the side and piled the iceberg lettuce/tomato/cucumber onto my plate. Then drizzled it with the soupy salsa. Two more plates were set right in front of me: a plate full of sliced cucumbers & radishes and a plate with chopped cilantro, onions, and diced tomatoes. Right on! I figured I better fill up on that just in case. And then the biggest dish of guacamole ever was set right in front of me! If you wanna make me truly happy, you would bring me guacamole! So I ended up eating the salad with extra cucumbers, radishes, cilantro, onions, tomatoes topped with guacamole and salsa. If you're curious about the other dishes that my company ordered, read my co-worker, Alyssa N.'s, review. She gave it 4 stars :) Why only two stars from me? Styrofoam plates, plastic utensils, lame thin napkins, and while the food was good it doesn't really stand out from any average Latin food restaurant that I've been to. And when I asked the server for a glass of water, he gave me a Sprite. Bleh!

I came here looking for Con Sabor (which apparently used to be at this location), with visions of pupusas dancing through my head. So I was a little disappointed to find out it was something else, but I decided to try the place anyway. It's still Salvadoran, but looking through the menu I was further disappointed that they had a limited selection of pupusas. Actually, the menu was kind of confusing so I asked some questions of our server but it turned out her English was not too good so it took a little effort to decide on what we wanted. She was really nice though. So, the stage was set was a disappointing experience, but the food really delivered! We had the pan de gallina, chicken tamales, empanadas, and a pupusa. The pan de gallina was definitely the highlight- a huge mess of a sandwich with chicken, beets, radish, watercress. Had to eat it with a knife and fork. The chicken tamales were really savory- so much so that I would've liked them just as much without the chicken, the masa was so tasty. The "empanadas" were not what I expected at all - they were actually fried pillows of plantains with a little cream inside of them. They served these with sugar on the side to sprinkle. They do *not* have chicken in them, as the menu stated. And the pupusa- it was tasty too. All of the above were off the "appetizers" section of the menu and made for a satisfying (and cheap) meal. There were a lot of other options too, including entrees so there's more I'd like to explore. And to be thinking of what to order next time, when the evening started on such an inauspicious tone, makes El Baron a suprising win. A couple of notes: around 9:00PM, the "night club" aspect kicked in and the DJs in the dance floor area cranked up the volume by several levels. It was actually kinda painfully loud and we were eager to beat a hasty retreat then. So, go earlier if you'd like to converse during your meal. Also: the chicken in the tamale and the sandwich had bones in it, so be mindful before you take a huge chomp of them. Finally: it's cash-only, but there's an ATM on site.
