Food was spot on! My boyfriend and I tried 6 different types pupusas and they all were flavorful. Honestly, two pupusas were way more than enough. The portions are reasonable. My favorite was the Revueltas and Pollo con Chipotle y Queso!! The pupusas also come with delicious curtido (pickled carrots and cabbage) and two types of salsas. The salsa picante was my favorite since it was spicer and more creamy. We had placed our order through the phone but if you order it online, you get 5% off. Service was also excellent. The staff are super friendly and even asked if we wanted utensils for our to-go order. Definitely would come here again for authentic Salvadorean food.

Out of every restaurant I have ever been to, I can easily say the customer service here is easily in the top-three kindest, accommodating, and welcoming I have ever experienced. The friendliness of the staff was so memorable and rubbed off on the customers who were there- it was literally a restaurant filled with happy people all conversing with each other! On top of the incredibly positive atmosphere, this was the first time I have ever tried Salvadorian food. My good friend, who was born in El Salvador, took me here to explore her culture. She said the food was delicious (and she's picky!) I agree, the quality of the food (and the price) was delicious. This place throughly mimics a 5/5 star establishment and the owners deserve all the positivity they can get.

Awesome customer service, great selection of authentic pupusas! We also had the desserts, plátano con frijol y crema y empanadas, so good!! Everything we order was delicious and 100% Authentic flavor from El Salvador! I grew up in San Francisco had many Salvadoreño friends so absolutely authentic!!! Great seating with televisions to watch sports and music was calming to my ears. Loved the delicious pupusas in the Kearny area. I will return for sure with my family to try other selections. Oh and they have breakfast too!

Some truly authentic Salvadoran foods; I have had the opportunity to visit this place on several occasions every time I come to San Diego on business. Furthermore, Don Juan and his staff are very professional and committed to every detail so that each dish has a pleasant explosion on your palate, leaving an exquisite flavor.That's why it's my favorite restaurant in San Diego Ca.

Very authentic dishes and the flavors are so nostalgic that brought me to my child hood. Enjoyed everything from the curtido to the horchata salvadoreña, every bite was amazing and I finished everything that I ordered. Favorite place for sure. Can’t wait to return!

This is my go-to place for pupusas whenever i'm in town! I recommend calling ahead because they do make them fresh upon order so it does take some time. But it is definitely worth the wait!! If you like spicy, make sure to ask for their spicy sauce as well, it definitely has a kick to it!!

Custom papusas?!? Yes, please! We pass through at least once a month. Clean, always friendly, stellar papusas packed for travel with care.
I'm half Salvadoran I was excited to finally eat some pupusas so I called to order and pick up . Based on the comments were delish . Well..... were do I begin? I bought 5 revueltas de arroz and they were dry, more masa than actual food and it was full of beans and not as I had ordered them. I honestly thought maybe it was a bad one the second one looked the same dried up , not well done . I threw them away Will I be ordering any time soon .. NO .... If I could give it a 0 I would . Sorry but, they were not even a 1 .

This was our first time at this restaurant and eating Salvadoran food. Because we were unfamiliar we ordered the combination platter with pupusa’s and many other items. This was a great way to start.We love the pupusa, the cabbage salad, and the fried pork. The sweet fried banana was also amazing.The restaurant was family run, very clean, and the employees were very attentive. We will come here again, and know exactly what to order.

First time trying Ecuadorian food and I'm an instant fan. I got the revuelto pupusa and it was delicious; comparing it to a quesadilla doesn't do it justice. Got a side of pork which is tasty little fried chunks and a pork Tamal. It's a lighter masa than a Mexican tamale; Good, but the other two items were the highlight. Great tangy cabbage slaw/topping for the pupusa along with homemade Sauce and hot sauce. I love Mexican food, but this will be a frequent change up. It's worthy and I look forward to trying more pupusa varieties and other items like the carne guisada. They get busy, but the service is friendly and sufficient. Enter the Pupusa zone.

The best Salvadoran food in all of California. The food tastes like it is homemade. The pupusas and tamales are my favorite. Guisado/a is my dad’s favorite and my kids just love all the food. The staff is super nice too.
