Editorial Review for Bahia – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Rows of glass-topped, red-tableclothed tables stretch back to the rear of the brightly lit space, whose white walls hold a few seafaring decorations--a boat painting here, a captain's wheel there. The small wooden bar and counter up front incorporate a wine rack and dessert display. Neighborhood friends and families spread out with plenty of room to spare.
The Food
The best surprises on the El Salvadorean menu are the appetizers. Pupusas, filled with pork, beans, chicken or cheese, are sumptuous pancakes bursting with the flavor of fresh corn. The simple corn tamale comes with a mild homemade sour cream, and the inexpensive enchiladas, prepared with expertly spiced strips of beef, could easily serve as an entree. Main dishes, such as the sirloin steak, are less robust, but the enormous mixed seafood grill, including stellar shrimp, salmon, calamari and mussels, stands out. Finish with a lovely flan.

This place is like a nice family restaurant with a nice authentic menu and good service. It was a bit pricey, but I wasn't disappointed with what I got.
Pros: Great food
Cons: Price

Yes the papusas ARE delicious, so were the fried plantains. So many appetizer choices, I can't wait to go back! The grilled fish was moist & flavorful; my partner's steak was really good. Try the Honduran beer -- light, hoppy, perfect for summer. Just remember you're on El Salvadoran time now -- no one's moving very fast.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Inexpensive
Cons: Slow service
