Been living close to this spot for almost 7 years now and I finally decided to try it. I was a little worried at first because they took a little long but wow when my plate got to me it was piping hot. Portion were big and food was delicious. Definitely surprised on how good it was. I will be coming again. Pupusas were fire too.

I called ahead to order 10 pupusas. It was about 20 minutes on a Saturday evening. There are a couple tables inside and it wasn’t busy.

We got queso with chicharrón and chicharrón with frijoles. They asked if we wanted the spicy salsa or not spicy.

Called at 2:25pm to order 3 pupusas and I show up at 3pm to wait another 15 mins?

Don’t provide a time if they’re not going to be ready

Great food and great service. Very reasonable prices especially since most places have increased their prices by quite a bit. High recommend. We had their pupusas but they also offer Mexican dishes such as menudo, Chile Colorado, Chile verde, etc. we will definitely back and we will try their breakfast options.

Excellent food! Generous and fresh servings and the service is wonderful! The value is amazing! I’ve tried a lot of different Mexican restaurants and nothing beats this place! You have to try it at least once, you won’t be disappointed!! I totally recommend El Cafetalito!

I’ve always seen this place lived literally like a few blocks from here and always wondered about how good this place is. First time coming here and have to say the chips and salsa fire. I order two pupusas one with cheese and beans and the other cheese and jalapeños fire. I order the regular size pupusas they are big. Recommend this place for a chill dinner.
