What the community has to say about Cafe Platano

Information about this business (1)

As you enter our doors you will immediately notice that it's not a typical pupuseria. You will get greeted by our cheery décor and a nice clean dinning room, beer and wine bar and a lounge pit. The folk art was hand picked and imported directly from El Salvador. Our cuisine will bring many addicting flavors to your palette. Try several of our dishes and share with your friends and family.

Customers craving Salvadoran cuisine can get their fix of pupusa, fried plantains, and other traditional favorites like Pollo Asada and Mar y Tierra at Platano. The restaurant offers lunch specials, an extended happy hour and a comfortable atmosphere. Be sure to try the atole, which is a corn-based beverage served warm.
