Just tried out Pilar’s and I’m a huge fan!! The tamales are what I came for, I got the spicy pulled pork that came with some homemade salsa, so so good. First time ever trying a Pupusas; corn tortilla with bean and cheese and filled it with their pickled cabbage and of course, salsa; excellent. I’ve never been a big fan of plantains… these little bad boys were incredible.

Food was amazing and the staff are friendly and engaging! 100% coming back!!

An absolute gem!!

The friendly service, the super tasty food and the cozy atmosphere together create a big big win. We are blessed to have Pilar's in our community.

Also the best horchata I have ever had.

Best tamales around. Great drinks, the hibiscus and watermelon are my favorites, all made from scratch. Plantians were great and so was everything else. Try the fried Yuca, it takes a minute to cook but so worth the wait. Can't wait to go back.

The pupusas were the worst I have ever had. They were not made fresh, they were the ones that you can get in the frozen food section.

I remember getting these pupusas at the grocery store and thought they were a very poor excuse for pupusas but were a quick snack on par with microwave pizza rolls. The ones they have at this restaurant are worse than that. Absolutely terrible.

If I could give negative stars I could, it's bad.

I don't normally leave reviews for bad restaurants, but I just had to this time. The audacity to charge as much as they do for these pupusas is crazy. It's highway robbery. You can get the real thing for much cheaper elsewhere. I got 2 "pupusas", plantains, and a horchata for almost $30.

How can the worst pupusas I've ever had also be the most expensive? it blows my mind.

The plantains were good though

I traveled 40 minutes because I was craving pupusas and I was not disappointed! Not only was the food incredible, Sylvia is such a kind hearted, sweet and amazing person. Do yourself a favor and stop in here, get a few pupusas and the horchata drink. It truly tastes like I’m back in El Salvador and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Came here on a quick lunch break for the first time and was welcomed walking into the front door. Service was amazing and served with a beautiful smile. Will definitely go back soon.
