La Despensa Latina

Never in my life have I come across a Cuban sandwich with a hotdog in it 😭 It put me off IMMEDIATELY. Que es eso???

According to google it’s popular to make them like that in some places in Latin America. It just wasn’t what I was expecting and I wouldn’t have ordered it If I had known. It was not in the description when I ordered it so I’m hoping this review will save someone from the same fate.

The papusas are so delicious and I’ll order them again. Also I don’t know if their curtido is house made but it is perfect. It’s not too vinegary or overly fermented, I could eat it on its own.

TLDR: I’ll stick the Papusas from here and continue to got to Havana in Roger’s for my Cubans. La torta Cubana le doy 0 pero las Papusa 10/10!

They add lots of filling in the pupusas and the horchata is really good. Will come back again

I would love to give 5 stars but I can’t.
The owner is absolutely the sweetest person, the food is phenomenal. Unfortunately one of her servers is absolutely horrible.. she is rude, non attentive, and petty.
Is as if she goes out of her way to be mean to me specifically. We were loyal consumers there for over 5 years until the last incident with this specific server happened and we haven’t been back since. As long as she’s there we won’t return.
She doesn’t have a name tag or id specify who she is. Although I can say when she started there was about 3 ish years ago, when the other (super nice) server went on maternity leave.

Well, the popusas are delicious but this place seems a little dirty to me, they have all the food waiting where the bathrooms are. I also ordered the chicharrón with yucca and it only had 3 pieces of chicharrón for 12.99 plus taxes

I was very satisfied with the service, the food, the parking, etc.
All ten.

This is the best Salvadorean food we have had outside of El Salvador. Pupusas were jammed full of filling and so flavorful. My Dad got the Sopa de Patas and said it’s the best he’s had in years. Mayra was so sweet and recommended we try the enrollados de yuca and they were a great snack. One part is their store and the other half is the restaurant. The store had all kinds of great snacks and items we had been missing from El Salvador
