Irene's Pupusas offers an authentic taste of El Salvador with great food, especially the pupusas. The casual service makes ordering easier in Spanish, and the friendly staff provides fast and straightforward service. With a growing business, they serve excellent dishes like chicken soup and roast meat. The spacious restaurant has sports on TV, creating a comfortable dining experience even for those who have tasted pupusas in San Salvador.
Customers have praised the pupusas as likely the best in the area, crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside. Many recommend the pupusas revueltas (chicharrón y queso), which are made fresh and served hot. The curtido is noted for being nice and oniony, and the sauce is perfect in both consistency and flavor. However, some feel the atmosphere leans more toward a bar scene, which may not match the cozy dining experience expected. Despite some concerns about wait times and attentiveness from the staff, the food is still seen as worth the visit.
