Reviews
This place has the best pupusas, yuca frita, sopa de pollo. And so much more. Highly recommend it.
It was my partner's first time trying pupusas and they left the restaurant wanting to order 10 more! We ordered the bean with cheese, spinach with cheese, and chicken with cheese pupusas and they were so tasty. I've been going to this place just for their pupusas because they're so perfectly made. Their Salvadoran Horchata is also refreshingly good. The employees have been there for years! I've always had a pleasant experience with them. TLDR: Try this place! Might look unassuming from the outside, but nothing about their pupusas is underwhelming.
What can I say but, "Come here for great papusas!" There were three older ladies working. They were very nice even though we came in 35 minutes before closing. The hours in Yelp are incorrect. My family and I got 7 papusas. We tried the Spinach and cheese, bean and cheese, chicken, carne asada, and the mixed papusas. The bean and cheese was spectacular! To me this was the star of the show. My wife thought the carne asada was the best. My son loved the mixed. We were happy with all of the papusas. We were stuffed and has some to take home. We took home is of the Salvadoran cheesecakes. My wife and son never had one before, or was very moist and tasty. It was delicious with my coffee in the morning. We are already planning our next time there!
It's the only place I've been consistently for Papusa. They have upgraded their decor. Which is very nice but not as homey feeling. It's pretty modern. Prices seemed to have gone up a bit and they got rid of Mexican food and made it strictly El Salvadorian which I can understand. But miss.
First time coming to this place. Decent service and the pupusas were delicious. I ordered a variety of pupusas and my favorite was the chicken and cheese. My brother had the bean and cheese and he said it was good but the beans slightly burnt. It was clean inside, clean floor, clean tables. I will be back to try other pupusas.
