I had previously bought here but I was disappointed, after months I bought some pupusas again, but I was disappointed again, the bitter sauce, the horrible curtido and the very bad pupusas, I think so but I don't recommend it, it is my sincere experience

We had a very good experience. Curtido was good. The salsa is the only thing, I like traditional pupusa salsa. Pupusas were good. Fried plantains were excellent. Chelate was really good.Vegetarian options: Is a matter of asking, refried beans only pupusas are available.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly atmosphere.

I give it two stars because they don't accept credit cards as a visitor. It's a little shocking that a business like this doesn't accept another payment method.

Classic Salvadoran. Pork Adobada was delicious. Horchada with sesame.

In the heart of the Mission District. The food was exceptional. It felt like my abuelita was making it in the back. Simple, but very, very good, especially on a cold day. We got Revueltas (pork + cheese), cheese only, and the chicharron (pork only) pupusas with the amazing rice and beans. We also ordered a side of fried plantains, which was enough for 3-4 people. I really loved the food here and the vibe of the customers. A lot of regulars and like everyone knew each other. Highly recommend.

Love this place. I'm glad they survived through the years. It's nice to have part of my childhood food still available in the Mission.

Being greeted when you come into a restaurant is a delight. But when you're greeted into a restaurant that feels like a home the experience is entirely different. La Santaneca de la mission has a calm homey atmosphere that feels like you're being hosted at someone's grandmothers house. The wonderful seating and prime location of being in the mission is amazing because after a day out and about you can unwind with Salvadoran flavors and textures. I had pupusas for the first time here and I've been on a mission to find the best ones, because the subtle flavors and textures make for such an incredible eating experience!

This place was delicious. I was traveling and exploring this area and is in a part of San Francisco that looks a little sketchy. But as long as you're minding your own business you should be good. You do have to wait a little bit. Everything is done fresh. The only downside is that you can only pay cash. So make sure you bring cash.
