“Food was good , specially the tamal de pollo, the only issue this place has it’s the service of the two ladies working there today , one of them was rude and not friendly at all they don’t have any customer service skills they look and walk like they are force to be there. The taller girl took our order wrong , and when we asked her for our 2 pupusas she said that we didn’t ordered any pupusas when that was the first 2 items we ordered , and Then she said in a defense way , that’s why I repeated ur order. she never apologize or offered to fix our meal.. this was our first time here and we won’t come back again we drove 60 minutes to get this kind of service , need to hire some friendly meseras. 3-3-24 at 11:am“
“The food is definitely worth every penny? . I read numerous cooments on "how bad is the service" or "the food is pricey." Well, 2023, what's not pricey? Today, 09/21/2023, was my husband's and I 1st time dining there. Let me tell you that the ladies/cooks and cashier are very well mannered, very friendly. (I guess it's how you treat people. They will treat you back) we waited no more than 20 mins for the order of 4 pupusas revueltas, a plate of bistec encebollado, and a coffee. My main credit is on how they are experts on making pupusas with harina de arroz (rice flour! excellent job, ladies??) the regular pupusas revueltas are delish because they use real and fresh beans (frijoles Salvadoreños de seda?) the steak flavor was tender, soft and sauce in it... uuuuff yums? !!! Kudos to the owner and staff for taking their time on making the ingredients fresh and original. **Not like many other "restaurants " they use canned beans?♀️!!** Definitely, prices are worth the flavor, and I /we recommend this restaurant ??You will not be disappointed ?#salvadorean #food ????????“
“I been here twice. I tried the pupusas with pork and cheese and the Carne asada burrito. Good food. The prices are reasonable, because I usually spend more money at a burger stand. Will come back again. The Customer service is really good and the atmosphere is welcoming.“
“I love this place specially and I mean specially on all the soups great taste that I have never taste in my entire life and I mean it when I say it this place soups are the best of the best but unfortunately when he comes to Pupusas, I still missing that tasteyuca is too dry no taste tamales are dry but I will drive just to go drink the soups, bath soups ever great customer service the girls there are excellent. This is my favorite place to go to when he comes to Pupusa.“
“Always great pupusas! Definitely my favorite of all time and always super yummy and hot! Never been served a cold pupusa in the many years I've been coming here. The drive is always worth it and the girls are always welcoming to me. Definitely a hit around the office as when one person orders from here the whole office wants some too!“
“Wednesday Special $1 Pupusas!!!!! Don't make the lady mad because she will tell you whats up. I really haven't tried anything else, just come here for the special. But don't mistake it with the place next door, this is the spot in the corner.“
“Wow...This place is amazing. The food I have ordered allong with my husband has been so good. This is our #1 Place to order Salvadorean Food! The Pan Con Pollo takes me back to my childhood in El Salvador, tastes just like my Grandmother used to make it.“
“I can't help but sing praises for this delightful pupuseria! From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. And let me tell you, the food? Spectacular!Their pupusas are a must-try; each bite bursts with flavor, leaving you craving for more. But wait, it doesn't end there! After indulging in their heavenly pupusas, treat yourself to a plate of their incredible plantains. Trust me, it's the perfect sweet ending to a savory meal.Now, let's talk about their horchata. With two varieties available, Mexican and Salvadoran, there's something for everyone. Personally, I'm all about the Mexican horchata; its creamy, refreshing taste hits all the right notes for me.To top it all off, the restaurant itself is impeccably clean and tidy, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. If you're looking for a place with amazing food, friendly service, and a cozy ambiance, look no further than this gem of a pupuseria!“
