“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely delicious and authentic!
We stopped by Mi Pueblo Salvadorian Restaurant and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. The pupusas were hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, cheesy, and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and you can tell they take real pride in their food.

Our waitress, Rosie, was wonderful and friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and try everything on the menu.

If you’re looking for authentic Salvadorian food and great service, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back for more pupusas soon!“

“El personal super amable , las pupusas y el atol de elote delicioso !! Hemos ido varias veces y siempre son tan serviciales !! Muchas gracias 😊“

“Excelente comida!!! Muy rico mi tapado gracias! También el aguas de maracuya me gusto mucho“

“I'm not Salvadorian, but I love Salvadorian foods. This restaurant makes me even more of a pupusa-lover. Since I don't know Spanish, the Google translator helps me to communicate with the employees. But I even love it. Definitely, more often I will come back to order my dinner from this restaurant!

Wheelchair accessibility: Park rear with handicap placard, and there is wheelchair accessible entrance.“

“While this small place might just be in a car wash, do not overlook this hiddengem when looking for pupusas. We have been coming here for years and the flavors are perfect. The pupusas are big, yet full of flavor and made fresh. This also means the wait times might be longer so if you do have larger orders, I recomend calling in ahead. They also have other food dishes such as soups,tacos and even tamals. This is a must try place for fans of food in general and especially salvadorean food. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of high quality food you get.“

“100% go with these guys. They were not only the most economical, but they were SOOO GOOOOOD and a hit with all our guests. I still have people texting me how good the pupusas were. And the agua fresca was so good. Will definitely use them again“

“If you plan on wanting to eat at home, definitely order ahead..Wait for Pupusas is usually about 20 minutes. The people there are very nice, they have reasonable prices, and I feel like they are consistent with the quality of their food( at least for the last 5 years that I've been going).. my go tos are usually Pupusas de queso con jalapeño and bean and cheese, oh and the loroco ones. Plus an order of yucca frita with chicharron.“

“We were craving pupusas and found this little spot on Google maps. The reviews looked good, so we decided to drive out there, and OMG, it did not disappoint! The service was top tier and everything we tried was delicious!!! Definitely coming back and definitely recommend this place! So, so good!!“

“Él mejor restaurante se los Garantizo que lo biciten Seran super atendidos.“

“Very good food with homemade taste. A little hidden place in Walnut, but with great dishes and you can feel the love in the food you eat. I tried the bistec picado, and a carne asada burrito...delicious. Do not forget to try the fruit juice. Very refreshing!“

“Muy rica comida, el lugar es muy limpio y los precios son razonables.“

“(Translated by Google) Brother, everything is very rich! It was my first time eating Salvadoran food and it was so delicious. Also, the service is very good, I really liked the atmosphere (Original)Hermano, es que todo está muy rico! Fue mi primera vez comiendo comida salvadoreña y fue tan delicioso. Además, el servicio es muy bueno, me gustó mucho el ambiente“

“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.“

“The waiter recommended the Caldo de Gallina and Wow great recommendation…it was super tasty and just the right amount of serving and the price was fair. The service was wonderful I would recommend this place if your looking for fresh clean meal.“

“This will make you so happy I recommend you try this food right now🍾🍾“

“I give them 5 stars for the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but at the same time, I feel sorry for them because how is it possible that the owners or managers can't see that they need more staff to serve the tables!I always eat there because the food is delicious, but unfortunately, we don't have the full service. I'm not trying to speak ill of the waitresses, but they need help. I see them running around answering phones, delivering orders, and cleaning tables. That's exploitation on the part of the owners, in my opinion. They'd rather lose customers than pay more staff.“

“Authentic and. delicious 👍👍“

“Good google and good service“

“El anviente muy bonito y la comida muy buena se los recomiendo al 100 es un restaurante familiar muy agradable“

I got 2 of custard.

Parking: They have parking in the back of the store.“

“Nice selection of tasty pupusas and their breakfast was on point!!!“

“The food is good and the staff is always friendly“

“Quiet Restaurant specializing in Mexican and El Salavdorian food.

Meals are essentially home cooked to order. They offer a number of dishes some better then others but a few hidden gems 💎 that elevate this place. The Pupusas are fantastic and when you factor in the price unbeatable anywhere else nearby.

A few additional recommendations is the Fiesta Burrito (wet burrito stuffed with carnitas and chili relleon) is a great lunch option or their Jeuvos Racheros are a great breakfast option.“

“Seriously, the Best Pupusas around! always lots of fillings in them. Great Customer service. Very Friendly staff. My only go to for the best Pupusas. Well done!“

“great and delicious Salvadorean food, you can go wrong.“

“Bomb pupusas! I’d eat them everyday if I could. Authentic as it can get, check this place out you won’t regret it!“

“El mejor servicio , la comida exquisita todo muy agradable y los precios accesibles“

“Ordered here because it was one of the only places open on Christmas Day and it did not disappoint! The food is all very well made, not overly greasy, flavor on point. We even loved the salchipapas we got as a free upgrade because we ordered through Uber Eats. Can’t wait to try different menu options in the future. This place is definitely a hidden gem.“

“Great rice and beans! Not spicy. Inside there are many tables for sitting and enjoying a relaxing meal. There were several customers during lunch, but not crowded. I was using the laundromat next door and the lady at the entrance was very accommodating. It looked clean and inviting.“

“we were recommend and we really love the food, my hubby and friends from Australia Really love the food“

“Muy buena comida y un ambiente familias ,“

“Went here with family who had varying dietary needs, and this restaurant was able to accommodate all of them. Also, these were the best chilaquiles I've ever had!! The sauce was amazing. The service was excellent and I felt the staff really took care of us. We will be coming back.“

“Love this place!! I’ve been coming here for the past 5?years, and they never disappoint. Pupusas are made with the perfect ratio of masa and what ever meat or cheese u want. My favorite is the Salpicon! It’s a shredded beef plate, which includes rice, beans, sour cream, and three of the typical tortillas, like the ones my grandma used to make!! Oh… and don’t forget the plátanos fritos for desert.“

“Came on a Saturday night. Was skeptical because of the reviews. To our luck, there wasn’t a lot of people. The server was friendly and fast. We ordered 2 pupusas with frijol, bean and cheese, 2 empanadas and a fry fish plate. The pupusas are big and have a lot of filling. The pupusas themselves are tasty, however, when combined with the curtido and salsa, they are at a whole different level of delicious. The curtido that night was veey flavorful, a true relief since it’s hard to find a good pickled curtido. The empanadas were good and the fish was tasty as well! I hope you have a great experience like the one we did that night.“
