So by no means am I an expert on Salvadorian food but I have had a few pupusas in my time. The moment you walk in you are greeted by a terrific Aroma. You can clearly see the women behind the counter preparing the pupusas live and freshly made to order. While the dough is lighter than it looks it still really really filling with great flavor. If I had to criticize anything is that they might use too much cheese but who doesn't like gooey cheese. Lol. read more

Loved the pupusas here so much! The curtido and topping sauce were amazing too. The shrimp and cheese pupusa was so good and had plenty of shrimp. The family size pupusas are so good too. The filling is plenty and the flavor is so good. The price is definitely worth it since there's more than enough to share, even with the personal size. Please note the personal size is enough for 4 people! Can't wait to go back and try different ones. read more

Nice family owned restaurant with great customer service. It was very clean and welcoming to all guest. Very unique pupusa pizza with huge portion size!

Highly recommend for a unique cuisine read more

Went in on business and decided to try the pupusa pizza. Upon first look it seemed more of a novelty and the $15 price tag for the personal seemed a little high. However, all my wrong perceptions were corrected as I watched it being made. I was impressed by the technique of perfectly stuffing and forming a perfect pupusa. We sat and our food arrived shortly after. The flavors were spot on. The pupusa itself was cooked to perfection with nice crispy edges. Carolina was extremely friendly and attentive. The same goes for the entire staff. Definitely a place I will be returning to whenever I am near the area. You should too! Go! ENJOY!!! read more

Told me 25 min wait -- I waited the time. When I asked about my food the women told me another 25 min wait. I left

Beautiful decoration in the restaurant and a spacious parking lot. The service was very friendly. It was my first time trying a pupusa this big, and I fully recommend it; the filling was plentiful. read more

Excellent food! Pupusas were amazing! Service was very good and the place was very clean. A+ all around.

Vine a disfrutar de unas pupusas excelentes en Plainfield. Recién mudado a la ciudad, me recomendaron este restaurant. Tristemente hoy descubrí que jamás regresaré a este sitio un domingo. Con una misa a todo volumen en el televisor. No es ambiente para venir a comer con tu familia. Es inaceptable, es molesto que tengas que hablar altísimo para poder conversar con las personas de tu mesa con una misa a TODO VOLUMEN EN LA TV. Ni me molestare en publicar fotos de la comida ( que por cierto estuvo muy bien) pero toda la experiencia arruinada por una MISA a todo volumen. Me Siento irrespetado como Cliente que no consideren que esto no es una iglesia es un Restaurant. read more

Pupusas are excellent! Place is very clean and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

Big size pupusa! It is very delicious but we went too big "Jefe" size. About 1 regular sized pupusa for 1 slice! You can ask for different stuffing inside 1/2 & 1/2. Chicharon con yucca was also good. Didn't have time to take pictures. Small restaurant but good amount of seating. When we arrived there was only few workers so we had to wait for long time for food but it happens. read more

This place is literally THE BEST!!!! 10 STARS!!! Aside from my mother's pupusas, this is the closest I've come to tasting authentic delicious pupusas. The restaurant gets packed very quickly because that's how good they are. It's worth the wait to sit at this cozy lil place. Cecilia and her family are amazing. They go out of their way to make us feel at home. I come back over and over again. read more

Best Pupusas I've ever had. Good amount of cheese and dough was just right. Had the chiCharon and cheese

Food was too salty and service was too slow . Tables are placed too close together and there is no elbow space. People are too c and the loud noise of everyone's conversations require a louder voice volume. read more

Excellent food! The chicharrón with yucca fries and pupusas are our favorites. Service is always friendly. A bit of a long wait for the pupusas to arrive, but worth the wait. read more

Honestly these pupusas were divine! I loved them even more than those at El Creador (even though there has a great name and those were pretty good as well). My boyfriend and I tried them last night when they were closing up and spoke to Jasmine (Jazmine?) who was hella nice and her sister was also working, who was super patient with me as I struggled to decide which pupusas to get on the spot as there were no menus LOL. (Also LOL at them being able to tell we were gringos before we even uttered a word in English ) Sounds like they might have a buffet with various items like rice and beans until about 6pm or so? And after that they just have pupusas - revueltos (mixed with pork, cheese and maybe beans), cheese, pork, beans or any combination thereof. Also cheese and loroco (which I've seen on every pupusa menu but omg what a gross tasting flower, HA - either way, fun to try). They told us they're opening a second location which I will definitely be trying out!! My bf's favorite was the cheese and mine was the bean and cheese. Overall highly recommend, will definitely be back. read more

This place makes FABULOUS pupusas!!! The taste is wonderful and the service is fantastic as well!!!

The surface was basic, but the food amazing every single pupusa was delicious. The pupusa pizza and definitely worth it if you have a large party. read more

Love love love this hole in the wall Pupuseria! They have other items sometimes like their local buffet takeout (rice, beans, meat). However, you can't go and skip out on their pupusas. If you can't find the menu, just know you can choose these flavors: pork, cheese, zucchini, beans. The workers are very nice and encourage you to customize, mix, and match flavors. For example, I got one with pork, cheese, and beans. Another with zucchini and cheese. Very fresh, delicious, and affordable. There is only street parking, but I was able to find ample parking even after work. read more

Was in the area and yelped for some local restaurants. Cecilia pulled up, got tempted by the yummy pupusa pictures and reviews. Small hole in the wall type place with only counter seating for 2 - 3 people. Ordered 3 pupusas to go and some hot sauce, Cecilia, who is the owner, is the sweetest lady. Instead of the hot sauce she packed me this home made spicy cabbage salad with the Pupusas. We had nice conversation while she was preparing the Pupusas. I am so glad I stopped here because the Pupusas were awesome. I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. read more

yummy and freshly made pupusas. Also i love the cabbage based salad they have at each table. adds a nice crunch to the meal. Delicious read more

The pupusas were super salty. I wasn't upset at the food but the service was unpleasant. The lady who was helping was very slow and she had her airpod in. I had to repeat myself and speak louder. The tv was on pretty loud as well, if you want to try come on down but it was not pleasant. read more

A hidden gem off of Plainfield ave. This spot specializes in papusas, a traditional delicacy from El Salvador. The papusas are made fresh by hand and the location offers a variety of fillings. Highly recommend as a good meal. read more

Perhaps a rating isn't appropriate as I entered an empty restaurant for takeout at 7:05 , likely near the end of a long day. I speak no Spanish and little effort was made to help me order. I tried to pronounce pupusa and said I wanted pork inside. I then pointed to a meat dish in a heated tray and asked for it also with rice and black beans, of which all was to go. The serving sizes of all items were substantial. The meat dish and black beans were good that night and the next day. The rice was very good and not starchy. I didn't care much for the texture of the pupusa, but I don't know how it should feel. It may have been perfect but the soft doughy texture like soft pizza dough was not appealing. read more

pésimo servicio primera y única vez que fui ahí la que atiende es bien grosera................

The pupusas were good but the wait was just way too long. They prepared a phone order before preparing ours even though we were already in the restaurant. We only had 2 orders whilst the phone order was about 20 pupusas. They should definitely prioritize their clients who are present to reduce the long wait time. read more
