“Some of the best Papusas I’ve ever had! We ordered the cheese & shrimp and the bean & cheese papusa, and they were SO tasty. I don’t eat meat, so these were great options for vegetarians! They also had plenty other vegetarian options and Papusas with meat. The cabbage they prepare to put on top of the papusa really adds to the flavor. Everything was delicious! Be prepared to do some googling because the menu is not in English, I don’t speak Spanish and it was not a problem for me to figure out the menu and order. But that’s what makes this place so authentic and delicious!! I also ordered the Ensalada drink, which was a mixed sweet fruit juice, and OMG, I would come back just for the juice! (Tasted like a blend of mango, pineapple, apple, and other fruit) This place is a must try for the Papusas!”

“Came in while we wait for an oil change and was greeted with such hospitality. While it is a restaurant it feels like a home here. There was only one man here working but he did acknowledge us right away. I ordered the Pupusas and when he was preparing my order I can hear him preparing them in the back BY HAND, not pre made. Delicious and hot.”

“After a recent not so positive experience at a nearby Salvadoran restaurant. I’m considering having a family dinner and decided to visit Mi Pueblo due to their consistent 5-star reviews. We were greeted immediately with welcoming smile. The place is spacious with several big party tables. Within minutes the server brought chips, not your typical Mexican chips, as they were drizzled with beans which was a nice twist. She also brought salsa and the traditional curtido. We ordered pupusas and 2 main dishes. We. The pupusas were large, cheesy and full of flavor. The chicken guisado was well presented and had all the traditional flavors I expected. The salpicon dish was surprisingly very good and would highly recommend it if you like the dish. Overall, were not disappointed After a recent not-so-great experience at another nearby Salvadoran restaurant, I was a little hesitant about where to take the family for dinner. I came across Mi Pueblo and noticed all the consistent 5-star reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. Glad we did! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of large tables, so it seems like a great spot for families or bigger groups. Our server brought out chips pretty quickly, and these were definitely not your typical Mexican chips. They were drizzled with beans, which was such a nice little twist. We also got salsa and the traditional curtido. We ordered pupusas and two main dishes. The pupusas were huge, cheesy, and full of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The chicken guisado was nicely presented and had all those traditional Salvadoran flavors I was hoping for. The surprise of the night was the salpicón. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually really good and probably something I'd order again. If you like salpicón, I definitely recommend giving it a try. Overall, we were not disappointed at all. Good food, generous portions, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. After our last experience, Mi Pueblo was a refreshing change. I can definitely understand why this place gets so many great reviews. We'll be back!”

“While this small place might just be in a car wash, do not overlook this hiddengem when looking for pupusas. We have been coming here for years and the flavors are perfect. The pupusas are big, yet full of flavor and made fresh. This also means the wait times might be longer so if you do have larger orders, I recomend calling in ahead. They also have other food dishes such as soups,tacos and even tamals. This is a must try place for fans of food in general and especially salvadorean food. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of high quality food you get.”

“The food was incredible! I had the tipico especial with a chicharron pupusa. The beans and plantain were delicious. I ordered a second pupusa with chicharron and frijol. The curtido was very flavorful. I wanted to give the restaurant 5 stars but they need to work on their cleanliness. Specifically, the table I sat at had crumbs and a coffee ring. I thought my server was going to wipe it down but she never did. I used one of my napkins to clean the table. At the end when I needed to sign on the card reading machine, the screen was covered in gunk where I needed to touch. Please wipe down the tables and the clean your payment machine regularly/when there is an obvious mess.”

“Nancy's is unassuming, a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I can't believe it took a long time to visit. I've dropped in a couple of times already and enjoyed my meals. They have a local feel when you walk inside. There is a little bit of a wait, and I think they make the food to order, so it's hot and fresh when you receive it. I recommend that if you plan to take out, call ahead to place your order to save time. They are known for their pupusas, which I got on my first visit. I was curious after reading some of the positive reviews. I ordered the revuelta and chicken with cheese. Both had great flavors and would consider getting them again. The flavorful, crispy empanadas were among my favorites. I got the carne (beef) and spinach with cheese empanadas and loved them. The perfectly fried shell and flavorful filling. Their Salvadoran tamales are prepared in the traditional style, with a flavorful filling and soft, moist masa, wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. I love Mexican-style tamales (especially homemade), so this was a new experience trying Salvadoran-style tamales. I think most people will order takeout, but there's a moderately sized dining area with tables. It has a local feel and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was kind and provided great service. The prices are fair for the quality of the food. I still can't believe I waited this long to visit Nancy's. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Note: There is a little charge for using credit cards, so cash would be better if you want to avoid the CC charge.”
