The best pupusas in SF! The staff here tend to speak Spanish, so I enjoy the opportunity to practice. They’re very patient and kind, despite my poor Spanish skills!
I love seeing and hearing them making the pupusas fresh and to-order! This is a wonderful place to eat.

Food was great, but unfortunately the service was not. We ordered takeout via the online platform from their website and selected the option to pay at the restaurant. We received confirmation for our order and that it would be ready in 30 minutes. As we were in the neighborhood, it was no problem for us to walk down to be there on time. When we arrived, we were told that our order wasn’t even started because we didn’t pay upfront. At no point during the ordering process was it stated that we had to pay in order for our food to start cooking. So we ended up waiting while our food was prepared, which took another 20 minutes. Huge waste of time which resulted in a lot of unnecessary frustration.

Good honest Salvadoran food & good service.
The non pretentious menu attracted my attention and decided to try. The place is small and cozy and the specials where handwritten in brightly colored cardboard given the ambiance of a rural kitchen.

I ordered what I always order at a Salvadoran restaurant to test the chef: “carne deshilada sin huevo” which was absolutely ………delicious!

I’ve also purchased pupusas to bring to a friends party later on and they where awesome as well!!
Keep doing what you doing guys! Your food is well served and tasty!!
(The only reason I don’t give five stars to this place is because the seats at the restaurant are more for a kindergarten than a restaurant! I mean it! Very small and uncomfortable.)
By the way, on my way out I shout “gracias!” and lady at the cash register shout back:
-“Que le vaya bien!”-
I love that.

Food is super legit . First time I ever had Salvadorian food. However, the service was ok . The atmosphere was super busy! While I’m not into crowded places this might be for you if you like super busy places.

Really yummy papusas and authentic tamales (which are giant!). I love that you can watch them being made as you wait. Really cute spot.

For one the seating is too tight and they take a while to even notice you. The food had absolutely NO FLAVOR! The fruta de ensalada tasted like jalapeños! The yucca con chicharrón was TOO hard and overly cooked! Tasted like burnt oil. The ensalada tasted old like it’s been sitting! The combination plate was a joke! The prawns were ok but the chicken half was too much salt and the other side no flavor the steak was too cooked and rubbery. The rice tasted like plain white rice and was kind of hard, beans were ok just a little liquified. The red sauce tasted like straight ketchup. The pupusa revuelta tasted like the inside of a taco de papa, same texture as a taco. I got a stomach ache later and just didn’t end well. SMH being that a lady said that this place was “very good especially on Tuesdays” VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR $87. And OVER PRICED FOR BAD QUALITY FOOD. Would not recommend.

In my opinion, some of the best pupusas in the city. Try the combo and the traditional loroco and cheese. Out of this world. Don’t forget to ask for some crema to put a dollop on top.

Excellent papusa, and the service was great. I recommend stopping here if the line next door is too long. Food was out in 15 min, no line, and the prices are incredibly low. $15 for 4 papusas is a steal, and fed 2 people with no problem. The cheese is so good.

Love this place for pupusas. My kid loves the rice & beans and making hats out of the Salvadorian newspapers. I’m confused by all the reviews talking about rude service. I’ve been here like a double-digit number of times, and that’s never happened to me. On the contrary, one time I actually forgot to pay, and they were really nice about it. Plus they always put up with my kid’s mess and the fact that 3 or 4 of their free newspapers have turned into hats.
