Salvadoran Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“The pupusas were perfect! Just as I remember eating them as a child in the Mission. Lovely memories were brought back eating pupusas with my daughter and grandsons.“

“Just had lunch here with the fam. The pork and cheese pupusas were bomb and so reasonably priced. Wish I ordered extra to bring home. Hubby had the carne asada burrito and daughter had the chile verde burrito. Both loved their choices. Afterwards, we walked over to Mitchell’s for dessert. Can’t wait to come back to try other items on their menu.“

“The food is fantastic. Wonderful service.“

“I stumbled upon this place by chance, without reading any reviews beforehand, and I don't regret it at all.

The place is small, but it doesn't feel cramped. You can tell they keep it clean, well-maintained, and brightly lit.

The staff is fantastic; they explain everything with a smile, and you can see them preparing your order as soon as you place it. Despite that, the wait time isn't long.

I took pictures of the food almost at the end because I was so focused on enjoying every bite. So I can say their reputation is well-deserved.

P.S. If you like spicy food, ask for their habanero sauce. It wasn't as spicy as I expected, but it does add that extra touch of flavor.“

“Was walking down 24th street came across this spot!! I’m glad to come into this place! Pretty much an and pops place with real good delicious Salvadoran food. I’m definitely recommend this place and look forward in coming back in the future and with another group of good company to enjoy“

“Restaurante Familiar! Has really great, pupusas. Plus their rice and beans are. Really good as well.“

“steak salad, Tilapia, pupusa, beef soup, their breakfast.“

“Manitas is just around the corner from me. Not usually into Mexican food, but the huevos rancheros was actually really good. Tacos were decent too, and the horchata is sooo refreshing.“

“This is my new favorite Salvadorian restaurant in San Francisco. The food is super good at a reasonable price. Great music. And amazing customer service. I love the ambiance of this place. It's definitely a hidden gem.If you're ever in town, I recommend stopping by.“

“Muy buena comida, y las pupusas muy ricas. Pero como una pequeña observación en mi opinión la mesa que está al final en frente del sanitario sería de mucha ayuda si ponen una pequeña división de madera o de otro material porque cada vez que entra y sale alguien del sanitario,a veces se siente mal olor , imagínate!! y estás comiendo y sintiendo ese mal olor. Cómo que se quitan las ganas de comer.“

“buena comida las pupusas una delicia“

“Angel is the kindest and most courteous host we have ever had. The food is fresh and delicious, there are vegan options, complimentary coffee that’s so good you don’t need cream or sugar, the agua frescas are incredibly good and the place is clean, cozy and calm. We love this place and would absolutely recommend it!“

“I have to say the Pupusas here are the BEST I'VE TASTED!! Just the right amount of masa (not too thick) and Cheese, soooooo yummy!!!! Oh and the Rice and Beans , so flavorful !! I'll definitely be coming back!!“

“Well I came in about 12:40. The place was empty. I ordered pupusas revueltas and tamal salvadoreño. Today they did not have the Regia beer that I love, but Pacifico is okay. Pupusas are great with Curtido and salsa. Authentic taste is so satisfying, reminds me of grandma's cooking. Tamales were delicious and fresh. The dining room was empty but I saw people come in and order to go. I ate so fast it was soooo yummy. Oh yes I almost forgot, it's cash only!“

“Nice place. I came here with my friend and she shared her atol de elote drink with me and I’ve never had it before and at first I was taken back because of the elote but it was so good. I loved the pupusa de revuelta and will probably order from her again.“

“Casimiento, mushroom & cheese pupusa soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!“

“TLDR: huge pupusas and friendly serviceWe ordered the best burger in the mission and a zucchini pupusa. The burger seasoning was distinctly Central American with the spices but it was a little overcooked for me. The pupusa was pretty big and very flavorful and packed with ingredients. They also gave us free chips and salsa… the salsa was fuego! Service was very nice, quick and efficient“

“todo está súper riquisimo 😋“

“Best Pupusa I had in this city so far. Try the one with flower in it you won't be disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Hey, it's a Farmers market

Parking: Parking for Alemany Farmers market

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a tent with outside sitting area“

“And the waitress really friendly!“

“A small place with plenty of comfort food. If you've had a pupusa anywhere where it is made traditionally, then you know how yummy they are. El Rinconcito Salvadoreno, says it all -- a small Salvadorian place (translation), has that and then some. While you may expect a different setting if you were in El Salvador, the smoke (they cook with timber there -- El Salvador, that is), the spices, and all that a hearty preparation of the ingredients entail, this place has the flavors without the fanfare. Good, yummy, quick and right. Gracias! A su provecho. #TheBrokerWithAHeart / #ElAgenteDeLaGente“

“The fish soup I ate here for lunch was so good. My only problem was that the fish had a lot of bones 🦴 in it. It was still good though. The service was also friendly and the ambiance of the place was quite cute too. I very much recommend that restaurant. I give them 4 stars ⭐️“

“I ordered the daily special which is 2 pupusas and a chicken broth and the chicken didn't taste good... It tasted like chicken reheated in the microwave.
The delicious pupusas.
I haven't tried the entire menu.
But if the pupusas are original then the rest is delicious ?

Vegetarian options: There are options

Kid-friendliness: It is a family restaurant“

“food is great, the wait is not all that badd. well worth the wait..“

“The pupusas are really good and panes con pollo chicken sandwich salvadorean style ❤️❤️💙💙“

“I have been to San Francisco a few times over the years for business and whatnot but had never tried Mexican food in the city. Being from Texas my expectations were pretty low because in my mind Texas does it the best. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors and subtle differences between what I was used to and Frisco Flavor. Everything I had tasted fresh and some of the tacos even reminded me of my mom’s kitchen. There was a party going on in the back patio area with loudish music and the partiers asked if we wanted them to turn it down. We did not. If you haven’t tried this place you should give it a chance.“

“muybonito rica comida byena atension muy familiar muy axesible muy ermoso lugar“

“Literally stopped by on a total whim for a quick bite before valentines dinner but DAMN!!!

Super home made comfort salvadorean style cooking
WONT be fast since it's fresh 😎

I wasn't planning to leave a review, so the complete food plate never had a chance to look pretty but look at that freshness!

We got the 2 pupusa combo with rice and beans with a delicious agua de jamaica. All reasonably priced.“

“Everything hits the spot. While not everything is perfect the food is amazing and rememiscant of El Salvador, the food is very rich. The music is perfect Julio Iglesias and the TV plays soccer.

I feel like this is the homeliest and most relaxing of the Salvadorian eateriesnand the basics are well done here.“

“I love your food , but last Sunday 8-28-22 I was so disappointed we waited 45 minutes for our food, when we arrive there was only on table with Costumers , in the hall restaurant ,I don't know why we waited so long“

“Authentic Mexican restaurant. Had the pupusas, Carne Asadas and chips. The Pupusas were delicious and filling. The salsa that came along with the chips was really refreshing, one of the best salsas I’ve had. Carne Asadas was flavourful and portion was huge. Prices are affordable as well 👍🏼“

“Friendly neighborhood establishment with great food. Always fresh and delicious!!!“

“todo muy rico , las pupusas están muy ricas , y la botana es todo un manjar 100% recomendado y garantizado , tienen un excelente servicio y muy buena atención al cliente 👌💯“

“If you're ever in the area and want some papusas or nachos this is the place! It has almost nothing to do with the food ( which was pretty good by the way). It has to do with the people. A homeless looking guy walked in while I was there and went up to the counter. The guy behind the counter came out and brought him some amazing looking rice and beans. No charge. Apparently he comes in a lot and he's not the only one.

We take care of those who take care of others, so let's support businesses that are making a difference in the community.“
