Perhaps some of the best papusa and tamales I have had in the Bay Area. Amazing stuff! A good amount of bean stuffing in the papusa, not too much dough, and all the way to edge of the papusa. Same with tamales -- a good amount of stuffing and not too much masa, plus it was super soft and not dried out even though it was sitting outside on our table for a while. Unique drink made from barley (maybe a tad too sweet). All of these were made vegan and delicious. The person in charge said it's his mother's recipe, and the mother was working there too. A sweet family run small business. You can tell this place is for locals and repeat visitors. Friendly, chill vibes and service. It's just a drag to get to El Sobrante 😄

This place is a gem! I had the d Desayuno TÃpico and the Nuegados De Yuca. The eggs were perfect over medium, and the fried plantains, and frijoles with crema were delicious and served with perfect hand made tamales.
The Nuegados De Yuca is definitely worth trying; crispy on the outside and soft and slightly chewy on the inside.... Delicious! They went really well with the latte, which was also good.
Add the friendly service from people who obviously take pride in their business and you have a winner. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I love the pan con pavo. For me it blends Thanksgiving turkey and gravy with Salvadorian flavors all on a sandwich. I could eat it once a week. Also highly recommend the Nuegados de Yuca. It's a sweet and savory treat. Everyone is really nice too.

My sister recommended Xinia’s while I was looking for something to snack on. The pupusas are absolutely delicious! I had a bean/cheese/jalapeño, pesto/garlic/cheese, and a plain cheese. My tummy was so happy! There’s a drive-thru, too!

Called to place and order. The First Lady hung up in my face, the second was very rude. I would never give these people my money!!!!

I absolutely love Xinia's. Everything is delicious. Our favorites are the carne guisada, enchiladas, and pupusas. The beans and rice are especially delicious. The atol is also SO yummy.

Flavor was okay, but could be better. I was extremely shocked to see the size of this pork tamal ? ? I am embarrassed to share this with anybody else, because this is not an authentic Salvadorean tamal. Will not be purchasing again. 3.99 each--I should have expected something different with that price.

I went to the bakery today, because I wanted pupusas. Xinia's Bakery popped up as the best in town, I've never had Salvadorian food before it was delicious I had beer cheese and pork pupusas, I ordered a tamale and I had a puff pastry dessert and she shared with me the tres leche cake I've never had it and it was Simply Delicious. I only had the pupusas out of the variety of foods on the menu and they were delicious I will be a return customer. Maybe not too often for fear of gaining too much weight???

Was told about this Salvadoran Restaurant/ Bakery. The service was great. The pupusas were delicious. We ordered fried Yuka & chicharon it was perfect. Our Chicken tamales were delicious also. Only wish they were tad bigger. But can't complain otherwise. Would order them again. The orange & Carot juice was perfect Sorry we were hungry and took photos half eaten. Definitely coming back when we pass though
