“Never disappointed with the food and service“
Customers` Favorites
“I only come here because they are so good, in my opinion. I hate going because they're always busy and they work kind of slow, or maybe they're short handed. Also it's in the mall so it's loud but that's not their fault. Food is good.“
“If you're looking for a good bite this is the place to go. I had the opportunity to try Encina here and it was amazing. Back to the pupusas be patient as everything is made fresh. I ordered three beans and cheese a carne asada quesadilla and a taco sorry no pic of the taco. I will definitely be back. Sorry about the picture of pupusas my girl was digging in.“

“I have been coming here for a few months for dinner about once a week. Great Papusas, great service on Thomas Street. I will return if I'm back to Phoenix. Thanks for the memories Ladies and Gentlemen.“

“This is exactly the kind of place we look for any time we travel. Unassuming, little place in a shopping mall. These are the hidden gems; and this place is ample proof of that.
We had to be down in the valley for some business. And we hadn’t had Salvadorian food in close to 20 years. (Long story)
So we did some looking around and found that this place was relatively close to our hotel. So we just had to!
The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean; and the staff is super nice and attentive.
We ordered (and split) the three papusa combo (pork, chicken and Loroco) with rice and beans. I also got a Cola Champagne for the first time in almost 20 years, and a couple extra to take home.
The papusas were excellent and came with a pretty sizable bowl of curtido. (…always a good thing!) Everything was fresh and handmade. Now, rice is one of those things that usually blends into the background. But not here! This rice was insanely good and had a flavor profile that neither of us could figure out. And the beans were just as good with a deep, rich smokey background.
EVERYTHING about this little place is excellent! If I was working in the valley again, I would probably hit this place weekly.
For a simple dining experience with excellent food and great people, this is a solid 5 stars!
Highly recommend!!“
