“Great food in the brazilian school of Rodizio”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

This is a Rodizio, where you pay a fixed price, and have open access to salad bars, and the waiters wander the table area, with grilled specialties of all kinds, and you can accept or pass, until you are satisfied and indicate so. The food quality is top notch, as are the service and drinks (you pay extra for those). Great service and ambiance. The restaurant is located in one of San Salvador's most renowned hotels, so the whole experience is clean and safe. Greatly recommended.

“Noche Buena No Es Buena”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

We had called ahead on Xmas Eve to eat at this venue. When we arrived at the location, the seater gave us a huge song and dance about the need for reservations and a whole bunch of nonsense. We had called three days earlier to this place to make sure they had room and no mention of the need for reservations was made.

So - big disappointment on Christmas Eve and a very poor service and no accomodation was made for us.

Bottom line - when people call and ask questions, just tell them reservations are needed. We would have made them or not based on the information given.

Poor Poor service on the phone. Made worse by the "so sorry" attitude by the seater at the location. Make no mistake, I will tell all 500 of my friends in San Salvador about my experience when the location was not even full when we tried to get a table (for three people).

Thanks for your poor performance on the phone and in person when we came to your location.

“Good breakfast buffet!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

Excellent variety! The pupusas here were good and this is certainly better than most "hotel foods" I have tasted.

“Be prepared for a great time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012 via mobile

I go to Faisca with my family when we are celebrating a special ocassion
It really worth the price! Service is excellent, the salad bar has everything ceviches japanese rolls gourmet salads but be careful ladies dont eat too much of that delicius entries because the greatest part is the different kind of meats, chicken, shrimp you could posible eat at the table! Desserts are refreshing , light and tropical tiny delicius pieces of mouses cakes and fruits and others! Dont forget the capuchino or regular coffee which is also good!
