I tried the bean and cheese pupusa and the spinach and cheese, both were delicious! Highly recommend. The Maracuyá juice was too sweet to drink, blech!

Service was kind professional and timely. Food was DELICIOUS. And atmosphere was quiet with the baseball game on (muted and they put on music once more folks sat down)
10 of 10 would recommend!
Cost: reasonable. 3 pausas and 20 oz horchata with 20% and tax came to $21

AMAZING. Of course, we ordered pupusas lol and they were delicious, I ordered 1 Chicken and Cheese and 1 Birria pupusas.
They came within 15-20 minutes (we had a party of 8).
The service was immaculate, they came back every 5 mins, we wanted a little extra (like chiles toreados) (sautéd jalapeños) and they brought them right up without hesitance.
Would definitely recommend for large groups and I will say this, they have VERY good music, music that takes you back to your Mexican and Salvadoran roots, very culturally enriching.
The only thing I have to say about the atmosphere is that the music was a tad bit loud, so to have a conversation let’s say 2-3 people across the table you had to elevate your voice a little bit.
Other than that, amazing, would TOTALLY recommend.

Try the bombas, I can't believe pupusas could get better but wow, color me impressed.
The birria is also great, the Horchata water and fried plantains are amazing. Totally worth the drive, we even ordered extra to go.
Just be aware the service may get real slow if it is full of patrons, as everything is cooked at the moment; can't get more authentic than that.

I placed a pick up catering order and they exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad that I have found a popusas restaurant close to home

I really wanted to come on here and give a glowing review, but unfortunately, we had such a bad experience here. My daughter and I got to the restaurant at 8 pm with the intention of ordering food for the whole family. There was a customer who could not hold back from making crud comments, but I chose to ignore him and order anyway. It's not the business' fault that someone is an idiot. I placed an order to go, paid/tipped, and sat down with my daughter to wait for our food. About 15 minutes later, quite a few people started to walk in. They gave their order at the counter, and all sat down at tables. After their orders were in, they were all served their food. My daughter and I watched as everyone ate the meal they just ordered at the counter. At 8:50 p.m.,(almost an hr later) I was finally called to the counter to get my order. The guy said, 'Sorry, we had other orders to fill'. I looked around the restaurant as I left and knew exactly why we were treated like that. The worst part is that I went there because I wanted to support a local business, and this place has such great reviews. This type of treatment is absolutely never okay. I was very nice, not pushy or demanding, etc. If they didn't want us to be there, they could've just said so. I was hoping that they just forgotten about us, but the cashier made it clear they were busy filling other orders. Please don't take our money, if you don't want to serve us. I didn't deserve this treatment, and neither did my daughter. Shame on all of you guys who were there that night. I am absolutely so disappointed that it's 2025 and people still have the audacity to act this way.

I never had Salvador and Food. The manager explained to me the food what they do they address it and what comes with. It was phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back.

Pupusas were delicious, good flavor, not overbearing with salt or grease.

Maria Barragan

10/10 definitely will come back!! Pupusas are soft and delicious not greasy at all. Everything we order was delicious even the aguas frescas. And the services 10/10. We drove 30+min to get here. Definitely worth it.

My first visit was at night and I had to make several uturns as Google maps directed me to this shop, but I couldn't see it.
If this happens to you, stay motivated- delicious food awaits.
Papusas central has really friendly and welcoming employees. The atmosphere is casual but clean. They had a small and attractive market of imports mostly from El Salvador, football ⚽️ on television, and the other people who came into eat seemed just as happy with their food as we were.
We just got papusas, but with several different filings. Cheese and jalapeño is my go to, and it was very yummy. We also got just cheese papusa, beans and cheese, and chicken with cheese. Every. Single. Thing. Was delicious. Generally the person I was eating with does not like cabbage, but they liked the cabbage and salsa which is served as a side to the papusas.
We came close to closing and I asked for our food to go, but they were extremely hospitable and insisted they would be doing side work for quite awhile and encouraged us to feel welcome to eat there. I asked for our food packed to go in case we couldn't finish it, but we ended up eating every bite there. Definitely check this place out.
