Was able to park at Meter on street. Walked in they had a handful of booths/tables and a smaller tile bar. Not too busy for a Monday holiday lunch. Got three chicken tacos for $13 and x3 salsa on side. Very good and very spicy if you're into that. Was packaged up well to go included limes. Took about 15-20mins to go Uber eats says they're on there but every time I check it says currently unavailable read more

muy mal servicio Demasiado tiempo de espera y el personal muy pesado muy mal servicio al cliente no recomiendo ese restaurante la verda. mesaras muy pesadas si por uno es que ganan sueldo read more

Wow!!! The restaurant came highly recommended. We were in the area so we figured we would stop in. I got the chicken Fajita dish, and shocked to realize it was better than most Mexican restaurants version of the Fajita. The chicken was cooked perfectly (not dry) and had a very tasty marinade as well. Loved it! Everyone in the family loved their respective dishes too! Keep up the great work!! read more

My friends and I ordered take out on a Saturday night. Everything was delivered about an hour and a half later due to the driver making another stop on the way. Fortunately the food wasn't too cold by the time it arrived. However, a pupusa con queso y loroco and a double order of chicken was missing from our order. We shared the single pupusas revuelta which was greasy but still good. Wished I got the one I ordered though as I assume it may have been less oily. My friends ordered their salads with chicken as a choice for protein since that is their go-to. I tried their steak fajitas since I wanted something with a lot of vegetables. The whole plate was cleared by the end of the meal, so I was definitely happy with my choice. Overall, good experience and would hope our whole order would be included the next time I come back. read more

If I could give this place a zero for their service I would! The taste of the food is a 5-star. But we waited 57 minutes for 3 Pupusas and the restaurant was not full, We didn't order any heavy entrees. The owner of the restaurant and her son sat at the bar for the two hours we were there, while the only waitress was so busy, that she was running back and forth while the window from the kitchen was full of food and her boss sat at the bar while people waited to pick up take-out and food got cold at the window. The owner doesn't need to make money, nor does she feel the need to good customer service, therefore I'm not giving her my $$$ there are plenty of restaurants that make great food and service is great!!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants because of their very good pupusas and everything on th menu is so good and so well done it feels like it's home. I recommend if you don't know Spanish to bring along a friend who might know it. The service is amazing, all the people are nice an lovely there. On the ceiling there is little flags of El Salvador and it honestly so adorable and the lighting there is so dim and cozy and they have a fridge that has some cake inside like Tres leches, very good amazing cake honestly. I hope anyone who reads my review would go try it for themselves. read more

el servicio es horrible. las meseras y la dueña son miserables y abusivas y no tratan a los clientes bien

It's so unfortunate that the service for this place is so bad because the food is great, me and my friend went to eat and we waited 15 minutes just to get service when there was only 2 other tables. once we received our food we never got checked on again by the server. to get to go boxes we had to get up and ask her to get the check aswell. We asked for separate checks and when I got my check I saw a 18% gratuity added then I checked my friends checks and she had no gratuity on hers added I find that absolutely ridiculous. It is illegal to add a tip on a check of one person I am disgusted never going back read more

One of the best pupusa spots in the area for Boston. I always go for the cheese and zucchini and some homemade juice from El Salvador known as Chan. If you don't care about service, come here. The food is great. But the waitresses have absolutely no manners and eat while they are working so keep your eye out for that. Also, very small and cold in there. Might as well do take out :) P.s. you're welcome I took some good pics for your Yelp page. read more

I previously gave 3 stars for the horrible service. However I was there recently and was served by Rosa which was very attentive and nice. So Im upgrading this review. The food is excellent and the pupusas are still the best, so I recommend it. 4 stars because I dont trust everyone is as nice as Rosa, they dont have the best service reputation. Again, I go there because the pupusas are the best I ever had, but fully aware I might get horrible service. read more

service was bad, we waited a good 20-25 min just to make another order and for some boxes to go. it's illegal to just automatically put your own tip when it's less than 6 people dining in a restaurant, and that's what was done today . she put 18% of gratuity, when she knew her service was bad. read more

El peor servicio siempre sera en este lugar, cobran caro y te meten el tips cuando ellos no pueden hacer eso, y como saben que no se merecen el tips read more

Place is amazing. Amazing customer service and great vibe. They sell a variety of foods, but if you come here you need to get the pupusas. We always get the mixed ones and the ones with shrimp with an horchata to drink. If I didn't get fat easily, I would come here everyday. read more

Cafe Costa Del Sol - Horchata! - Salvadoran Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

Ik times are hard but $18.87 for 3 pupusas and a horchata it's not reasonable. Also staff was kinda bitchy. The pupusas were good but the Horchata didn't have much flavor it tasted like straight up milk. I also didn't like how many pictures of some saint were in the establishment, but that's just personal. read more

This WAS normally my Go-to spot for Pupusas Revueltas... But, the food got Over-priced, they take their sweet-ass time for food-preparation and they have a mayor attitude problem. Especially at the counter (owner's kid). Horrible customer service! They even declined on giving me forks! After visiting this past weekend, I don't think I'll be coming back. I drove all the way from Haverhill, MA to Revere, MA just to pick these Pupusas up, But I won't be going back there ever again!!! read more

Best papusas ever and awesome family establishment. Go check it out! Love the pork and cheese papusas but even the quesadillas are great

the food is fantastic very friendly service definitely going again the soup was the best

This is normally my go-to spot for burritos and pupusas ! However after visiting yesterday I don't think I'll be coming back. We ordered 3 burro grandes, we specified that one of them has to be made with no cheese at all due to a dairy allergy. They even wrote " no queso" on the container , but it was absolutely covered with cheese and had cheese inside of it too. We drove all the way from Braintree to revere just to pick these up and didn't realize that it was smothered with cheese until we got home. We spent $50 on 3 burritos just to have them make such a careless mistake, won't be going back there ever again. read more

They have the best pupusas in New England. Everything here is made from scratch and you can taste the freshness in the food here. My favorite are the pupusas revueltas which are the pork, beans, and cheese. The loroco pupusas are also really good, the herb gives the pupusas a pleasant and aromatic taste to the pupusas. Also, their steak tacos are delicious they're small, but the beef is crispy and delicious. read more

Called to order and the lady was super rude! 3 something for a pupusa?! Must be out of their minds! This place sucks.

Over priced, takes too long & they got an attitude problem. Horrible customer service! Had the audacity to tell me "tranquila" like no I'm calm I just ain't the one to let people talk to me rudely ! read more

Muy mala experiencia lo peor tiene una mesera Karina q es un pedazo de M me robó mi dinero me cobró $4 dólares por cada pupusa no lo recuerdo jamás y no me quería dar mi recibo y me lo dió enojada porque yo lo pedí read more

This is my favorite place to order pupusas from. They are the closest to the pupusas you can buy in El Salvador. I would give this place 5 stars based on the pupusas alone but certain things need to be improved. The biggest issue here is that the service can be a hit or miss. One of the waitresess seems to be in an unhappy mood most of the time. The wait for food is long, but that may be a good thing as it can indicate that their pupusas arent frozen and made to order. I would also recomend the yuca con chicharon. read more

The pupusas are among the best I have had, but be ready to spend way too long waiting for them even if you call ahead to pick up. I ordered 4 pupusas for pick up and an hour later when I showed up after being told 30 minutes they were still not ready. If it were not for the slow service they would have gotten more stars from me. read more

We're staying in Revere for the night before we catch our flight back home to Seattle. I didn't know where to go, so I wandered around the main strip until I passed by Cafe Costa Del Sol, which turned out to be an awesome choice as I LOVE pupusas. The staff were extremely kind and helped me order just the right amount of pupusas to feed my family. The community that surrounds this place were equally as friendly and put me at ease as I waited. The pupusas themselves were fabulous. Even my 3 year old ate everything we gave her. I highly recommend this place! read more

Bring cash. And the paper kind. They won't accept dollar coins because they see them as "train tokens" and the bank won't "accept them". They easily can give them back as change. It was only $5. The only reason we were given a hard time is because we had brought in two Arizona ice teas that were already on our person and half empty. We decided not to buy a drink to avoid food waste. (we knew we were all going to drink anymore). The waitress was horribly rude. Asked us if we were done with our food and to pay up front when we feel like it. (Rather than to bring us the check.) Honestly lady, I don't care who you are or what kind of restaurant is being run. We literally did nothing but refuse to spend an extra $3 for an overpriced coke. Thats not enough grounds for a bad attitude, an excuse for doing your job right and dismissal. read more

Great spot if you want authentic el salvadorian food. My girlfriend and I were looking some comfort food in Revere, ma. This really hit the spot. When we first entered the restaurant, there was no one to greet us. So we walked up to the bar and waited for someone to help us with our seating. It took about 90 seconds before someone greeted us. I ordered a combo 3 which was chicken and shrimp also with refried beans and spainsh rice. They will serve you a plate of cabbage with special sauce and tortilla chips before your meal. My girl ordered a cucusa with rice and beans. She also tried a Spanish soda that was very very sweet. That's not my thing. There are some perks with this cool place. They serve beer and they have two TVs to watch some sports. And you can listen to some Latin music. read more

This place has, by far, the BEST pupusas I've ever eaten! They give you unlimited slaw with the pupusas and their habenero sauce is deliciously spicy! Their beef tongue tacos are pretty good too. Portions are nice, people are friendly, atmosphere is relaxed, price isn't too bad (I go for the pupusas and tacos), and the jukebox is always playing great Latin music. I love that it has a family owned feel to it and the Salvadorian decor makes the food taste that much better! I try to go every month or so. The staff is always friendly and sweet. The customers are all mostly Central American so you know the food is genuine and authentic. LOVE this place! See you there! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!! BEST PAPUSAS IVE EVERRRR HAD!!! Grew up in Chelsea, I know good papusas and authentic food. This is your spot! Whether it's dining in, or taking the food home to your family it's always FRESH!! And beyond tasty! We go here for 20 papusas at least once maybe twice a month all the way from peabody! The owners and workers are so sweet! Please please please don't waste your time with other places. Even the place next door can't hold a candle to this place! Ok stop reading this and order papusas revueltas!!! And tip them too! They deserve every penny!! Zero exaggeration in this review I promise! read more

Terrible customer service, told me a meal wasn't available because they I ordered a meal a day before and forgot to pick up. Maybe a reminder would've been helpful read more

Saturday before beers and sports viewing, me and a friend decided to give it a go. We called to pick up. 2 burritos were ordered for pickup. Good service over the phone. We picked up the burritos and they were delicious. We open the burritos and saw: Guac Sour cream Chips with salsa And a big burrito Very fresh ingredients. The beef was crispy which means they prepared the beef for those specific burritos. I dont know about you but I don't like meat that has been sitting all day. Great place to get some snacks and a quick bite. read more

I placed an order of nachos told them only wanted cheese and cilantro I picked up order and had everything on the nachos. I called back she stated she couldn't hear me ... after she did repeat the order back to be. I usually have no issue. read more

Loveeeee the pupusas here! Have been going for years and I feel like the pupusas get better and better each time I go! Definitely one of my favorites here in Revere. I only wish that they delivered! read more

My friends and I are regulars here. We've been coming back for a few years now. They are a great family owned and run authentic El Salvadorian restaurant. Plus, its in my hometown so makes not coming here impossible. They have the best homemade made to order papusas by far. read more

I would have posted a picture, but I forgot and everything was eaten! Food here is excellent- very fresh. Love the salsa, guac, and relish. The pupusas are bigger than your face and delicious! One of the few places to get Loroco too! I know there are complaints about service on here- it's been totally fine in my handful of times here. You're not in downtown Boston- it's not a hip ambiance, but it's authentic, people are nice, it's clean, the price is right, and when you want good food (specifically pupusas), that's all that matters! read more

Worst customer service ever!!! The cook is the biggest asshole you will ever meet. I came to this place because of the 5 star rating, but boy was I wrong. If I could give this place a negative 5 I would! I ordered some steak tacos and they were ok, but there was hardly and veggies (tomatoes, onions, cilantro) at all, none, nada... What kind of taco is that?! Smh anyway I wanted something to go so I specifically asked "Can I get grilled chicken with yellow rice and beans on the side" then the guy looks at me like "We don't have that on the menu" so I politely ask if he could make that, then after talking some blab blahhh he finally went and make it. 10 mins later my food came so I checked to see if he got it right. Well of course he didn't, now I find myself arguing with this guy because he was adamant that those were the beans I'd asked for.... I said politely (again) if he could give me whole beans as appose to refried beans and OMG this guy got so hot for no reason just because I asked for something else that he didn't want to do in the first place... So he snatched my food away from my table and walked back to the kitchen and told me to not pay for my Togo food. Not to mention it was over priced too (5 tacos and 1 pupusa) $24. I was glad to go next door to a better n more professional Mexican spot. Thank god that that happened, I would of been stuck with half a chicken breast and some pee rice and "beans." Never will I go back but I will be next door at Montecristo. read more

These are by far the best pupusas in the Greater Boston / North Shore areas. We've tried almost everywhere, and nothing compares, so we've been driving to Revere just to eat here for years now. You can dine in or order ahead and pick up. The best table is in the window on a raised platform. There's a parking lot behind the building, or metered parking on the street. The pupusas are made VERY fresh, not reheated. They offer more than just revueltas, beans, or de queso con loroco; you can choose zucchini or shrimp as well. They are never burned, never oily, never dry or crunchy like at other pupuserías. The outside is a light white cornmeal, and the insides are gooey and delicious and always served piping hot. They're just perfect. The curtido is crispy and tangy, not sopping with vinegar or over-fermented like some restaurants offer. It's more than just cabbage, they include cauliflower and carrot pieces, even occasional jalapeños. It's a nice mix and honestly, if they ever ran out of pupusas (God forbid!) I would still order the awesome curtido and try to imagine the world around me bravely going on. Chips and salsa are served while you wait for your order. Try a horchata or a licuado; if not, soda is served in a can/bottle with a glass, ice, and straw. Jarritos are available in a variety of flavors. This is a family atmosphere, and the tables fill up quickly. There are big screens in two corners that play music videos or Spanish language tv and sometimes soccer matches. If you have kids, don't hesitate to show up, everyone is very tolerant about fidgeting and noise and even occasional wandering. The walls are covered with beautiful souvenirs and maps of El Salvador so it can be very educational. The waitresses are great! They bring peppermints with the check and if you have a kid, they'll bring the kid a lollipop. read more

Wow so expensive!! They think they're a franchise selling food more expensive than border's cafe.. Food was good nevertheless, price not so much read more

It's all about the pupusas! Yum! I've tried other items on their menu as well and everything has been good, but the pupusas are worth raving about! I give 4 stars instead of 5 because the service is a little too...slow...for me personally. I know I can't go if I'm hangry because it won't end well. But definitely worth a stop to try out the pupusas! read more

Great food, better staff. The food was on time and the the food hot and ready to go. If you are eating here I suggest the ropa vieja and pernil asado. read more
