El Acajutla - One of Fort Myers?s better long-time well-kept secrets. Review part 2 of 2 by William Noel To me, one measure of... the quality and care of an ?ethnic? restaurant is whether or not they have drinks specific to their culture, something beyondwine, beer, hard liquor, cola, coffee, tea, and water. If I go to a Thai restaurant, there?s a good chance I?ll ask for a Thaiiced tea (the orange/pink colored ones are generally better than the brown-colored ones). If I go to an Indian restaurant, I?llprobably ask for a Lassi, a Spiced Chai, or a Madras Coffee. In addition to the regular coke, wine, water, and other mainstreamdrink selections, El Acajutla also offers the dependable Jarritos brand of Latin-American soda in its superb Tamarind, Mandarin,and other flavors, in glass bottles. You can buy Jarritos at some 7-11s, but that doesn?t mean that what is convenient is notalso good. Another imbibement they offer there, offered more rarely than Jarritos, is their Goya brand Cola Champagne ? also inglass bottles. I?ve never had another soft drink quite like this amber colored delight ? it?s sort of like turning Sprite froma lemon-lime drink into a nectar-like drink with just a little bit of edge. I bought two more to bring home with me. Last butnot least, they also offer Salvadorean Horchata, presumably made in-house, something I will absolutely have to try next time Igo. An array of non-mainstream drink options such as these is a mark that shows that the restaurateurs actually care aboutvariety, uniqueness, and giving their customers a real slice of their own culture. I had actually never tried Flan, a dessertitem, until I was either 44 or 45 years old. El Acajutla?s Flan was the first I ever tried the first time I went there. I wasblown away by its texture and the wonderfully harmonious blend of vanilla and semi-delicate caramel-like flavors. Every FlanI?ve had anywhere else since then has been a real disappointment in comparison to El A Read more
It took about 15 minutes for them to even take our order after we arrived. 30 minutes later we finally get food on our table. We... ask for utensils and the response we get is ?sorry these plates actually aren?t for you? and they take the food away. All whilea table that arrived after is is finished eating. Read more
Everything on the menu is delicious and prepared with love. From tender tamales and delicious papusas, to steaks smothered in... onions and shrimp groaning with garlic, you will leave every meal feeling like your Central American cousins made you the mostdelicious spread! The staff are quick and the kitchen clearly knows what they?re doing. Prices are inexpensive - main dishes arebig enough to be shared, and the apps are an excellent way to make the meal an endless delight. Family friendly and spacious,they also have a semi-private dining area for larger gatherings. (Ps. The lemonade is fresh squeezed, their coffee isperfection, and save room for their ice cream and frozen treats shop just a few steps away!) Read more
Wow! Very elegant for a very reasonable price!! The food was so delicious! And the coffee was superb! The atmosphere was very... relaxing. We must patronize this place and make sure that it stays around! Excellent excellent excellent!! (I forgot to mentionthat the bathroom was spotless!) Read more

El Acajutla - One of Fort Myers?s better long-time well-kept secrets. Review part 1 of 2 by William Noel One day a few years... ago, I left my cell phone on a public bus. I backtracked and had to check in with the main LeeTran office to see if it had beenturned in. I had to wait before it could be retrieved from the bus, as it was still on the bus and in operation. I asked oneof the LeeTran staff members if there was any place nearby to grab a bite, and they mentioned, among other choices, thisSalvadorian gem of a restaurant ? El Acajutla at 3226 Fowler Ave, Fort Myers. I had to walk only a few short minutes from theLeeTran main office to get there, and I?m soooooo glad I decided to. It is located just next to a Popeye?s Chicken Fast Foodfranchise in a small strip mall. In-between the main restaurant and their ice cream store that I haven?t been to yet is anotherbusiness ? the only other one in that small strip mall. Don?t let the looks fool you. This is not a bad area of town ? mostlyolder independent retail establishments, maybe a little light industry. But it?s also not like the glittery newly developedarea of Estero or the upscale Bell Tower Shops or, much less, Naples. Once you enter the restaurant, it is obvious that ElAcajutla is refreshingly out-of-place. Today was at least the 3rd time I?ve been there in about as many years. I rarelyventure that far from home in that particular direction, but whenever I?m in the area, I am always tempted to stop in. Mario,the spiffy and eagerly serviceable young son of the owning Dominguez family, informed me, IIRC, that his family has beenoperating the restaurant for 16 years locally, including 10 years at this current location. One thing that is obvious to me isthat the Dominguez family has ***REAL PRIDE*** in what they do. They?re not out just for a profit. They are proud of theirhome country and culture and cuisine and they are proud of their restaurant. Acajutla is a seaport town on the We Read more
