Salvadoran Restaurants in Mendota, CA

“This a cute little hole in the wall. It’s clean and neat! I was just craving Pupusas and I got these big beautiful thick, cheesy beauties that I couldn’t even finish in one sitting. They are sooo good! Not greasy at all!! Just cheesy deliciousness! I love them!“

“Josue whipped up handmade, piping hot papusas at their pop-up outside the El Salvador Consulate in Fresno, and they were BOMB!! I got one of each filling they offer: cheese, bean, chicharron, especial, and loroco. Crispy exterior and fluffy, STUFFED interior (topped with their homemade pickled cabbage and carrot spiced slaw and red salsa)…I’m more than impressed with the work he and his sister put in, and there were lots of customers there in the short time I was there!!“

“Very clean place inside & outside, well arranged where they serve you a variety of dishes. I stopped here for the pupusas which is my favorite Salvadorian dish. The people tending the place were amicable & welcoming and had a very positive vibe to them. I ordered a pair of pupusas along with two Pacifico beers and it was very satisfying after a long day of driving. Mendota California rules! USA

Vegetarian options: Loroco pupusas“

“I ordered a plate that was makeshift vegan. It was a plate of rice, beans, and veggies. I don't think they normally do any "vegan" dishes, but they were flexible and made exactly what I wanted. And you know what, it was delicious. They also made the small mistake of giving me pinto beans instead of black beans, but I did not mind, since I like them both.

Vegetarian options: As I mentioned in my review. I got a plate with 3 sides - rice, beans, and mixed veggies. They gave me pinto, but they have black beans as well.“

“We rode into town for the drag races and stopped to eat. Friendly people and good food, right up the road from the races! Don’t miss it!“
