I've been curious about this place every time I visit the Wells Fargo in the same plaza, so today a group of friends and I decided to give it a try. When we arrived, the interaction with the cashier was a bit underwhelming; they seemed slightly distant and didn't engage much, though they efficiently handled the transactions. On a positive note, the woman who brought us our food and refilled the napkin container was incredibly friendly, and her warm smile definitely enhanced our experience. FOOD - Mojarra Frita - Bistec - Pupusas All the entrees were generous in portion size and had a delicious flavor profile. However, I found the rice to be a bit bland for my taste. The salad was enjoyable, and the proteins were well-seasoned and balanced. If you're a fan of pupusas, this place is definitely worth a visit! They're made fresh in-house and taste fantastic. Overall, it's a solid option for a satisfying meal.

I really liked the meat and cheese pupusas. I know that's not "traditional" but I've been told that America is about diversity, trying new things, and stuff like that. The fries were way too expensive. (7$) I give the horchata a 7/10. (Still better than Mexican horchata) I give the plantains a 8/10. 4-5$ pupusas is good for American prices. The curtido and salsa was perfect. Great beans. Very clean, with cool decorations. I like the plants outside, and they have those tasty Salvadorean chips. I'll definitely come again. I recommend it. 4.5/5

Papusas were tasty. I got the revuelta and chicken y questo. Yum and the plantains were delicious especially with the beans Food is made to order Not much people and I'm surprised I'd definitely come back here again and order their other papusas.

BANGIN!! 10/10 recommend! Loroco, bean and cheese Papusas, and asada tacos, LETS GO!!!! Loroco papusa - excellent! First, I don't always love Papusa because they can be oily and overwhelming in the mouth. Not these and we ordered take out! Which means they should have been more soggy, but they were not! Very tasty and my husband was VERY HAPPY! Bean and cheese filled Papusa - Excellent! FIRST OF ALL!!! These are flavorful, I'm currently eating them, just enough of the beans and cheese to feel like a Papusa and not a burrito. YUUUMMMM!! Asada Tacos - EXCELLENT!! HOLY COW. I have never seen my daughter scarf food faster, literally had to scream "WAIT!!!" So I could have a TINY bite. The meat is perfectly seasoned and the corn tortillas was PERFECT! WOW. That was an excellent bite! Our biggest regret? We didn't order more(insert crying emoji)!! We ordered just a little to try it out. Now we are hooked and want more. We are so happy. Being from LA papuserias are a dime a dozen. Up here, we hadn't found any places that we ALL LOVED. Until now!

Highlights: & First time visit, will definitely be back & Great value! & My favorite pupusa It's not often that I go to an eatery in the Bay Area and think the food is delicious AND it was a good value. This is the first place in a long time! Food: The Pupusa Revuelta was crispy, warm and delicious. The meat was tender and the filling was a generous amount of meat relative to the amount of cheese. While I can't speak to authenticity, though I thought this would as the best Pupusa I've ever had. I am also lactose intolerant, so less cheese is preferred. Service: Order/pay at the counter and they bring it out (if dining in). Service was good. Ambience: The only minor thing for me was that there was a lot of noise from the TV and radio. The volumes were both loud. Individually it wouldnt be a huge deal but having both blasting is a lot. Not good or bad, but they have small Christmas decorations up (October 18).

Unassuming place near a couple of small businesses. Got the best seller at their store front. The chicken soup felt comforting, the chicken was a bit dry. Pupusa and plantain were really good. They also sell a few baked goods on the counter and have alot of self serve condiments. It seems like it's woman run business. No cons! Great place to have a healing meal !!

Nice little hidden gem in the midst of several old school business parks. Can't believe I've worked in the area for so many years and didn't run into it before. This is my first experience with pupusas and I enjoyed them. Had the three pupusa combo with rice and beans because I was hungry but it was too much! I hadn't counted on them being so filling. They were tasty but could use some seasoning and hot sauce. Table service was kind of slow. Better they let us order at the counter, I think. But I really enjoyed the outdoor seating.
