Authentic food. I mean , chicken soup done right. Tortillas the right kind. The clientele and guests are as SALVADORAN as you can get: mannerisms and expressions. I go there to commune.

Service and pupusas were great! The revueltas were tasty, yet I wish we would've got more curtido for 4 pupusas.Horchata was different than the Mexican traditional flavor I expected (I now understand this may be a Salvadorean recipe). Just a heads up!Good food, Gracias!

I run a food tour in the Mission District and have brought dozens of people here for pupusas. There’s a reason why Elsy’s is our first stop! Consistently great service, excellent value and incredible food- thank you Elsys!!
For one the seating is too tight and they take a while to even notice you. The food had absolutely NO FLAVOR! The fruta de ensalada tasted like jalapeños! The yucca con chicharrón was TOO hard and overly cooked! Tasted like burnt oil. The ensalada tasted old like it’s been sitting! The combination plate was a joke! The prawns were ok but the chicken half was too much salt and the other side no flavor the steak was too cooked and rubbery. The rice tasted like plain white rice and was kind of hard, beans were ok just a little liquified. The red sauce tasted like straight ketchup. The pupusa revuelta tasted like the inside of a taco de papa, same texture as a taco. I got a stomach ache later and just didn’t end well. SMH being that a lady said that this place was “very good especially on Tuesdays” VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR $87. And OVER PRICED FOR BAD QUALITY FOOD. Would not recommend.

Very bad experience. They should have more hygiene, especially when handling food. I had already placed my order when a person entered the bathroom and left a horrible aroma coming out of the restaurant, it took away my appetite. Never more .

I went to this place with my family for breakfast and while we were waiting for our food we noticed a disgusting and terrible aroma. The bathroom stunk terribly and it was all over the place (inside the restaurant). We told the manager (possible owner) about the aroma and she ignored everything. and we told him that we no longer wanted to eat there and to cancel our order and we left, the truth is that I do not recommend eating to anyone. Here the place is dirty and very contaminated with the bathroom at the same time being quite disgusting.

Food is super legit ?. First time I ever had Salvadorian food. However, the service was ok ?. The atmosphere was super busy! While I'm not into crowded places this might be for you if you like super busy places.
