respectfully, the american sounding english speaker up front needs to be retrained or moved or something.

This Salvadoran restaurant is a solid spot for comforting, flavorful food. You order and pay at the counter first, then they bring the food to your table.
We tried the revuelta pupusa, which comes filled with beans, cheese, and pork. It was well made, flavorful, and even better with the two hot sauce bottles provided on the table. We also shared the molcajete mixto, which came with a variety of meats and soft cactus. It was tasty and a great way to try a little bit of everything....read full review

El Pulgarcito III offers unique and flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes with Salvadoran influences. The service is friendly and efficient, with takeout orders ready on time. The black beans are a standout item. The pupusas, especially the pork variety, are considered among the best in the area, though some customers wish for a bit more filling. The curtido is refreshing, and the salsas are flavorful. However, the cabbage salad serving per table may not be enough, and vegan options are limited. While pricing is reasonable, the service can be hit or miss due to being a small mom-and-pop spot, but it is worth the wait when busy. Parking can be tricky, but the restaurant is kid and stroller friendly. Despite some preferences for other local spots, El Pulgarcito III remains a recommended dining option when visiting Tacoma.
