Lovely family owned business that serves up authentic Salvadorean food. Some of our favorites are the pupusas, sopa de pollo, pescado frito, tamales, and pollo guisado. 👌🏽. We usually take out our food because it can get loud in there.

We use to love this place. It was our favorite place for pupusas. But this list visit the food was terrible. The pupusas were dense and rubbery. The chicken soup and fried chicken weren't their usual offerings either.

Will give it another shot in a few weeks but we might have to find a new pupusa place if it continues to be bad. Very sad about it.

Papusa heaven in San Mateo. Because of how good the food is expect a slight wait in line but it was awesome.

The service is very poor. It takes over an hour to get your food just to get a bowl of soup. The staff is very limited, and the only one who stands out is Carlos, the waiter. He's very nice.

Terrible customer service and 0 progression for orders, if you don’t hear your order, they will not call it again, lol. Waited over 1 hour to 2 items to go, ridiculous .

Terrible place. Don't come. The people at the checkout have a terrible attitude and made me wait for more than 50 minutes to tell me that what I had ordered was available. In the end, they didn't even give me my money back because I had to choose something from the menu. They couldn't return the money. Terrible place!

I ordered an Uber pickup, and when I went inside to ask for it, the lady at the cashier kept ignoring me and even rolled her eyes. Very rude, and it wasn't busy. Plus, when I got home, I found out that my order was wrong. I ordered a friend chicken dinner plate and three pork, cheese, and bean pupusas. For the pupusas, they gave me only cheese and beans. I can overlook the wrong order—it happens sometimes—but I can't accept rude service. Do better next time.
