El Niño Y Pupuseria

A wonderful family run authentic and absolutely delicious Salvadoran restaurant in Ketchum. We sat outside and had our lunch on the patio. My favorite was the taco lengua, it was perfectly cooked, tender and well seasoned while my husband got their chicken fajitas which was enough to feed us for two meals. If you’re looking for good food this is a must.

Maybe the best Mexican food in the STATE!! Crazy good from start to finish. You NEED to stop here and try this joint. Steak, chicken, burritos, salsa…. Unreal flavor! Just try it.

Thanksgiving Day. Only restaurant we could see that was open and we are so glad we tried it we never would have due to how it looks outside but take a chance! Such great food, prices, service. Almost all of us had steak and the bill was only $90. We also had drinks

The BEST Mexican food I have had, not just in Idaho, but in the United States! Literally every bit as good as the best food I have had in Mexico. Super nice owners. I will be making the 2 1/2 hour drive again and again.

Seriously good food. Don’t be put off by the exterior or interior. Carne asada is perfect. Their beans are incredible. Tacos served in fresh made tortilla shells. Great beer selection and a few on tap as well.

Amazing pupusas! I ordered three of the bean and cheese pupusas with a side of chips and salsa and loved it all! The salsa was roasted with a nice kick which didn’t bother me one bit (but I am from Texas, lol). And the pupusas were so fresh and took me back to when I first tried them in Honduras at an Salvadorian restaurant. El Niño is also located in an old rail car which was super cute!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Super fresh and authentic with great portions. It's super cute, and the owners were beyond kind. Being from Central America I am often left leaving Latin American restaurants disappointed from lack of flavor or not cooked properly. This is not the case here. Definitely get the pupusa's as they are packed with cheese and are super flavorful. I was also very happy with my fajitas, and the salsa was delicious. 10/10 and will be returning!

Deliscous food served by the owner and his wife. Handmade pupusas. Moderate price for a trip to El Salvador, Bravo 👏

Excellent pupusas. Tacos were very flavorful as well.
After talking to the staff, pupusas appeared to be made of cornmeal only, so they are gluten free. Not a dedicated kitchen, though.

Absolutely fantastic! We loved the atmosphere, the food and service was excellent! Thank you! We will definitely be back!

The pupusas here are truly delicious! The service was great the owner came out to great us and she was so nice! Muchas gracias! Estuvo delicioso¡

Probably the best pupusa‘s in Idaho! Everything is made from scratch fresh tortillas are delicious. The salsa is great. My friend had a bowl of their soup, which was outstanding, highly recommend.

OMG, yummy delicious. I have lived in Ketchum for 18 years, many of which right across the street from this place, but have NEVER eaten there, until yesterday. Candidly, I never once saw people in there, and just didn't look inviting. However, yesterday, every other restaurant was crazy busy, so I went in. I ordered a shrimp burrito, with french fries, and it was so delicious. Perhaps the best "Mexican" food I have ever had, truly. It's a hidden gem. I know it is not Mexican. I highly recommend it.

Amazing little family place. Great authentic food and friendly people. Portions are generous so come hungry.

Food is amazing! Their house made tortillas are SO good. Rice and beans were a tad salty, but not enough for me to not eat them! Would highly recommend... Portions are generous and priced more than fair! Thank you!

Pupusas are unreal. So so so good. Large portions and great service. Obviously cooked with a lot of love and effort. Will be back again for sure.

These are the best pupusas we have ever tasted. The street tacos were amazing as well. It's usually very busy, so plan for that. Everything is fresh and so, so tasty.

Really enjoyed this placed. I'm from Tx and didn't think there would be authentic Mexican food in this area. This place has pretty good food. Corn tortillas were homemade tacos are pretty filling and the burritos are huge. My husband really enjoyed this place as well. Not to pricey and portions are big.

Same food as other places but with excellent seasoning. I wish I knew how they make the food taste so good. The homemade, fresh tortillas are a nice change too.

I took my girlfriend here for lunch and we had a fantastic meal. She loves chicken fajitas and these were the best we have ever seen. I called around town looking for menudo and they were the only place to have it. Let me say the menudo was over the top! The presentation was beautiful and the food was exceptionally excellent!!! Five stars for sure.
