This place has delicious food! The menu is not huge, but what they have on there, they do very well! I got three tacos (chicken, steak, and pork) and they were all delicious. It was hard to pick a favorite. I also got a pupusa and that was delicious as well. Definitely coming back.

Best Central American food around HANDS DOWN. It is so very hard to find authentic and tasty central american food around, especially in the Indian Trail area. El Atardecer delivers 100% It's conveniently located and while It's small and has limited seating and parking, the food is tastiest around. I had chicken with rice, refried beans, and chicken. My wife had the fried chicken tacos; we both asked for fried plantain sides, and a cheese pupusa and one with pork, beans, and cheese. It was all reasonably priced and bursting with flavor. Everything from the refried beans which was moist and perfectly seasoned, to the chicken, soft and moist, yet thin. Everything was perfect. I don't know how they did it, but even the sour cream was the best I've had in my 9 years in the United States. I am very strict in my reviews and have a toygh hand on hispanic restaurants especially, but El Atardecer just blew me away. A bit of constructive criticism: I was confused the receipt didn't come to us when we were done, but the cash register is by the door, so qe just guessed we had to go there when we were done. I would like if we were told when we were seated how to pay after we're done. This summer, also, has been incredibly hot, and it didn't help that inside the AC was not working to cool the space very well, however I know this is a new place and I will not subtract points for this because the food was so good. I will definetely be coming back here, and I hope everyone in Indian Trail tries El Atardecer at least once.
