The first thing diners notice when they walk into this inconspicuous space may be the smell of plantains frying or quesadillas grilling, but it's the floor-to-ceiling brightly colored macaw mural that definitely makes the biggest impact. The parrot watches over hungry patrons as they enjoy Mexican favorites like taqueria-style tacos, tortas and burritos, or Salvadorian fare like platanos con crema (fried plantains with cream) and pupusas (a thick hand-made corn tortilla stuffed with a any combination of pork, beans, loroco and cheese). And dessert is not to be missed - they serve plantain…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Lunch is good, but breakfast is better. Hit this place before 10:30am to enjoy chilaquiles (salsa-soaked tortilla chips with eggs and beans), huevos rancheros or desayuno Salvadorean (fried plantains with eggs and queso fresco).
- What to Drink:
- Try the coffee with sweetened condensed milk for a special treat.
- The Extras:
- Chips and salsa don't come free to your table here - if you want the standard appetizer, order it with your food for an additional 75 cents.

Fabulous fresh everything
by michellecarter at Citysearch
I've been to The New Spot a few times, plus ordered takeout for meetings. Everything I've had has been fresh and tasty. Very yummy papusas.
The previous reviewer was reviewing the OLD PLACE that used to be at this location. The New Spot wasn't open then. Wish Citysearch would remove the review!
- Pros: yummy papusas
- Cons: con-less

Worst Burritos ever
by becca_78 at Citysearch
the tortilla was soagy, the beans were runny, guacamole was aged, and the sour cream was almost non existant and the rice was horrible! it was like minute rice, not authentic spainsh rice. Trying to cut corners on the ingredients of a burrito makes a lousy burrito. Don't go there for a burritto!! you are forwarned!!
- Pros: New, clean, nice paint job
- Cons: burritos are horrible
