Not only should Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts be visited, but also Viroleño. All the customers love the menu that offers wonderful Salvadoran cuisine at this restaurant. You may order tasty bean rice and nicely cooked chicken.

In spite of the popularity among visitors, the weak point of Viroleño is its fast service. Many reviewers find that prices are good for what you get.

Only authentic Salvadorian restaurant in Tallahassee. Might be the only authentic Latin restaurant period. Pretty good Mexican as well. Price is affordable. Menudo is fabulous as is everything I have tried. Dishes might be different here...for instance their guacamole is cubed rather than mashed, more like a salad. Best to ask or be adventurous and try something different. #14 Salvadorean platter is a winner. I like the Mexican tostadas with steak. They will change out the whatever meat they have that day on request. BTW they actually make their rice and beans. EXCELLENT!!

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.

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!
