El Pope is delicious! I highly recommend the pupusas! I got the bean/cheese and zucchini/cheese and both were great. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. My husband got the chicken torta and said it was one of the best sandwiches he’s had. We will definitely be back to try more!!

I’ve loved this restaurant for many years, and I swear they NEVER miss. The staff are super welcoming and friendly, the food is consistently amazing and amazingly consistent, and the vibes are always right! El Pope team- y’all are the best restaurant in town and anyone who says otherwise is simply
I'm a little biased on this one. But, if you want to try Salvadoran food. This ☝? is the spot. Mario, the "Owner" is very attentive.

My favorite restaurant in Richmond, I must say. I have to refrain from ordering from them more than once a week. Ate there this past Saturday and plan on returning tomorrow! I always get 3 bean and cheese pupusas with extra curtido. Would request this on my deathbed, only if it was made by El Pope.
Delicious food, food service, great prices. A total hole in the

This is an awesome restaurant! My husband and I walked in at 10 PM for a to go order and the kitchen was kind enough to let us order. Adrain was our server and he was fantastic. He sat down with us and gave us many recommendations about favorite and most authentic menu items. I don’t think I’ve ever had a server who was so excited about the food and attentive to customers. We ended up ordering the pupusas, chicken chimichanga, and Al pastor torta and it was all delicious. I’d highly recommend any of those items as they were hot, fresh, and tasty.

After being in Richmond for a little over a year, I can easily say this is absolutely my favorite restaurant in town. I have tried a lot of different things on their menu and I am always very happy. Fantastic service and incredible food! They also recently started doing brunch, which I went to this last weekend and it was just as great as the rest of their menu. Very reasonably priced, great service, food, drinks, and atmosphere.Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetarian options, especially for brunch, with very similar variety to their non-vegetarian options.

The food was great, we ordered tacos, pupusa, a burrito and a torta. All were amazing with the steak torta being our favorite.
