Samantha's Pupusas is a small but excellent restaurant that serves delicious Salvadoran cuisine. The food is exquisite, with reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and polite, creating a cozy spot for families to enjoy meals together. Customers should remember to order at the counter before sitting down to ensure prompt service.
The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular Salvadoran huevos rancheros, a large dish of eggs, salsa, beans, and a pupusa. The mix and match pupusas are a highlight, coming in various fillings such as mushroom, jalapeño, garlic, pork, zucchini, and shrimp. They are slightly crispy on the edges, warm and mealy in the center, with just the right amount of gooey cheese. The chorizo pupusas are also a delightful option, bursting with flavor. Tacos are prepared street style, made with homemade white corn tortillas. The caldo de pollo is spot on and complements the meals well.
Samantha's Pupusas also offers a tempting array of baked goods, including a crispy-on-the-outside and soft-on-the-inside coconut macaroon. The dessert display is inviting, featuring options like delicious flan. This restaurant is a hidden gem that provides an excellent dining experience, perfect for a long drive or a quick lunch stop, with authentic food and many desserts and pies. Customers often enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Though seating is limited, those who discover this place keep returning. The food is served hot and fresh, and the drink selection is excellent, including favorites like the purple fountain drink. Overall, Samantha's Pupusas is a deserving local business that leaves customers eager to return.
