Food is just ok, nothing special. Frescos were really diluted and lacked taste. The restaurant does not have a good exhaust so they keep their doors open even with the cold weather, even then the smoke of the kitchen still lingers in the entire place. So if you have asthma, order to go, and if you want to avoid getting the flu come when it is no cold.

The cashier gave very bad service. We ordered pupusas but they didn't bring curtido. The chicken soup was very bad, as was the fried chicken.

Nice Salvadorean restaurant, cheese pupusas were very good, the revueltas lack chicharrón taste, not as good, type of pork skin maybe? Overall it's good, had better ones. Bathroom needs improvement.

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.
