Las Pupusas is a casual Salvadorian/Mexican restaurant with a few locations in Las Vegas Nevada. I went to the North Las Vegas Location on Craig Road and had the grilled salmon there.

It’s not a fancy plate of food and is very basic but is a large portion and the salmon was prepared nicely with a soft moist center.

I was surprised that this $15. meal was prepared this nicely.

On another night we went to MRKT. It’s the nicest restaurant at Aliante Casino Hotel. It’s a steak and seafood restaurant. I’ve previously enjoyed steak here. I thought tonight I’d try the salmon.

It came out with a great sear on it and shattering crisp skin but was terribly over cooked and very dry. Incase you don’t know…salmon doesn’t taste good when it is over cooked.

What a shame…….the quality of this fish means nothing when it’s over cooked like that.

I send it back since it was $38.00. (without sides)

Then I get this……

It’s raw in the middle and like seared sushi…….

This got sent back too…..

Was waiting for a third one but it took so long we left.

Incase you don’t know what a quality perfectly cooked salmon is like …….here is what you should expect to be at a nice restaurant.

The salmon should have a nice sear. When it’s cooked like this you get that special silkiness in your mouth and the salmon flavor is its best. Also at better restaurants the blood line is removed (that is the dark meat on the bottom of filet).

The $15. Salmon from Las Pupusas was prepared better than the $38. salmon from MRKT.
