The best pupusas in SF! The staff here tend to speak Spanish, so I enjoy the opportunity to practice. They're very patient and kind, despite my poor Spanish skills!

I love seeing and hearing them making the pupusas fresh and to-order! This is a wonderful place to eat.

Food was great, but unfortunately the service was not. We ordered takeout via the online platform from their website and selected the option to pay at the restaurant. We received confirmation for our order and that it would be ready in 30 minutes. As we were in the neighborhood, it was no problem for us to walk down to be there on time. When we arrived, we were told that our order wasn’t even started because we didn’t pay upfront. At no point during the ordering process was it stated that we had to pay in order for our food to start cooking. So we ended up waiting while our food was prepared, which took another 20 minutes. Huge waste of time which resulted in a lot of unnecessary frustration.

This is a fantastic place for authentic papusas! It was recommended by our friend’s mom from El Salvador and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this place!

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!
