    It's small, but the food is traditional, so what they lack in the atmosphere they make up is the carefully crafted care in the way the food is prepared, tasting the cornucopia of Mixe, Mayan, Pipil, Xinca, and many indigenous groups. I have never been to El Salvador, but this place makes me feel like I'm in San Salvador.

    The first thing I noticed was how affordable this place is. This is my favorite place to get tamales salvadoreños. The platanos tasted good and homemade. The service is nice and friendly. Definitely recommend.

    Platano is swinging for the fences with tasty Salvadorian and Central American food, large portions, friendly staff come a great selection of beers that traditionally go along with these dishes, walk up friendly location, and like the name says, Platanos! If you've never had one of these tasty treats which is a variation on a fried banana, but with way more flavor, you need to stop in here. I ordered the Bistek, (steak. Most Latin and Caribbean countries have their own take on this dish) with black beans and rice, platanos, and a side salad on the plate. Someone's mom is obviously working in this kitchen because this is old school goodness, and for people who want some authentic Latin food, I would absolutely go here as opposed to some pricey Upscale hipster hangout like Comal. Platinol has been holding it down since 2006, and the quality hasn't changed once. Family run, and family operated, this place is my favorite Central American eatery in the East Bay. Highly recommended

    PlĂĄtano is a salvadorian restaurant with delicious Pupusas đŸ«“!! The Pupusas sizes are large and can fill you up. There are many other typical salvadorian plates to enjoy as well. There are plenty of seats and the restaurant size is pretty large for a space in Berkeley. Service was great and the food was yummy. Parking around this area can be a challenge, so be prepared to circle around a bit if not trying to park in the structure/garage.

    Very good papusas service was excellent and courteous. Loved the plantains as well. I don't recall my drinks name but it was fruity and refreshing.
