PUPUSERIA VALLE DE JIBOA Salvadoran • $$
85 N B St #2, San Mateo

“Name of the restaurant might have changed to "Pupuseria El Salvador" as the old sign, which you can see in old photos, has been replaced. I didn't know what to order and I didn't see a menu so I went with typical Salvadoran food which is what everyone else was eating. I asked her to recommend a soup and a pupusa and she gave me what might be sopa de res and cheese and pork pupusa. Soup had a nice flavor to it, a bit oily, and pretty good beef (not overcooked! Yay!) The pupusa is excellent. Slightly burnt on the bottom to give it crunch, soft on top, and nice flavor. The pickled cabbage was good too. There was a large group ahead of me (does everyone eat at 3:30pm?) so the food took a while. She apologized for the wait and was nice about me not knowing what to order and my inability to speak Spanish.“

“Delicious pupusas made fresh from scratch! The kitchen is open to the dining area, so you can see the sweethearts making everything on-the-spot. It’s a warm & welcoming atmosphere, there’s a big TV playing music videos, as well as a Jukebox for additional entertainment. It’s a little “hole-in-the-wall” but there’s plenty of available seating. The cortido was good, the salsa was good, their Jalapeño pupusas, chicken pupusas, and chicharrones pupusas are all great, and what’s more- I feel great after dinner. That’s how I know it’s a couple angels in the kitchen, I can stuff my face with ooey gooey warm cheesy happiness and not feel a drop of guilt afterwards. 10/10 highly recommend“
