The Pork Torta is possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever had. The bread! 5 stars.

Came here with a group of 6 for lunch, mainly to try the pupusas (currently 3 for $12) because we had heard good things about them. I tried the beef, bean and cheese, the zucchini and cheese, and the shrimp and cheese. I have to go against the general opinion in the reviews and say that honestly, I couldn't taste the difference between the zucchini pupusa and the shrimp pupusa! The cheese has little to no flavor, I could find only hints of shrimp in the shrimp and cheese, and barely tasted any zucchini in the zucchini and cheese. The beef, bean and cheese was bland, but I could recognize that there were both beef and beans in there. Most in the group agreed that the pupusas were not special enough to come back again for.

It was not crowded when we were there. In fact, I arrived first of the group and was the only patron in the place. The servers appeared to be mother and son, and service was slow, though courteous and earnest.

Parking in the area can be challenging, but it was fine at lunchtime on this weekday.

Some of the best pupusas in Richmond. Had lunch the other day, first time in awhile. It was then I realized I need to visit more often.

Ordered the chicken torta for takeout and it was amazing. Will definitely be eating there again soon, vibes looked amazing inside.

Other than the random guy that walked from the back and just sat across from us it was a nice visit. Pupusas were tasty homemade tasting.

There food is good but they keep leaving things out every time I order food.. when I called to tell them they forgot something the gurl who answered said “my bad” they don’t care here. You pay for the food and don’t even get All of it.

Cannot recommend El Pope enough. We have eaten here at least ten times by now. The shrimp appetizer is incredible. I have dreams about it! Excellent place to go if you are a large party. The staff is so incredibly kind and fun. Prices are very very fair and although sometimes the food can take a bit, it’s always worth the wait!

If you have actually had good latin American food I don’t recommend you going here. I tried pupusas revueltas and tacos al pastor and they were mediocre. Good atmosphere and service though!
