When visiting Portland we unexpectedly came across this family business at Portlands Saturday Market and we were so excited as we visited from LA and were hoping to find a pupuseria of some sort to munch and this place was delicious!! I love my pupusas to be non greasy and this was exactly what we got! I got the bean and cheese and my fiancé got bean and pork. They each come with salsa, cabbage salad, sour cream & tomato sauce on the side and the mom & (possibly daughter) were very friendly and welcoming when serving us. The location to eat is a tourist and city local spot that we loved and are glad we visited while visiting portland for our first time! read more

The customer service was really great here & the pupusas are the best I've had so far in Portland.

their burritos were alright - portion wasn't as big as i anticipated but the ingredients were decent, home made tortilla and friendly customer service. We had them at the saturday market in downtown portland read more

4 stars for good customer service. The pupusa (pork and cheese) I ordered at saturday market was tasty. My only complaint is the filling to masa ratio was low. Expected more cheese and pork inside of it for almost $10. In a pinch it filled me up, but won't return in the future. read more

The food is priced really reasonably and the quality of the food is good with a great taste

Loved the beans Pupusa with the sides. The cake/bread was fresh. Partner got the Pork pupusa and loved it too. Service is a bit slow at rush hour so don't go there hangry read more

TL;DR - cash only for good-sized pupusas with some tasty curtido and condiments. Long line and the menu is inconveniently on the bottom half of their booth, but a worthwhile option at the Portland Saturday Market. ____________________ FOOD/DRINKS -- Pupusa with pork, beans, cheese - so tasty and delicious and melty and satisfying. These are made fresh to order, and it might take them a moment to get it into your hands, but hopefully that's a good sign because they are BUSY. The pupusa and the tomato sauce are also piping HOT, so make sure to grab a few napkins to cushion the plate if you don't have fireproof hands. The only downside is that depending on who plates yours, the curtido portion might be a little skimpy. STAFF One of the girls seemed to be moving at a snail's pace, but we can't all be expeditors, right? The main lady (Dona Lola????) and the other girl were on top of it, though. SPACE/LOCATION They're right in the thick of the Market's row of food stalls. I honestly don't understand how the food stalls are set up at the Market. because there's insufficient room for lines of people waiting to order, for those waiting for their food, and for people to eat. BUT these pupusas are pretty dang good. read more

Best Aunthentic Mexican soul food for everyone who likes real food. I go to eat at Dona Lola's every Saturday.

Delicious vegetarian pupusas (and many other options)! I was pleasantly surprised after ordering that the pupusas were made to order. It took a little over 5 minutes to make but was well worth the short wait. The owners are super friendly and were even able to make my friend a custom low carb plate. Definitely give them a try when you're at the Saturday market! read more

Pupusas! Tamales! Tacos! Sí! Sí! Sí! Just say Sí to Doña Lola's Authentic Pupusas, Tamales, and Tacos food stand at the always busy Portland Saturday Market. On beautiful days in the Spring and Summer, the line for Doña Lola's will be long ... and for good reason ... 3 good reasons: Pupusas, Tamales, y Tacos. Note: Cash only. Doña Lola's makes their own hand-made corn tortillas and it makes all the difference in the world. Also, get one of the fresh Pineapple Juices or a Horchata as a drink. If you can't choose what to order, I'd say share all three with a friend. Otherwise, I rank them in this order: Pupusas! Tamales! Tacos! In life, always say Yes to new adventures and always say Sí to Doña Lola's. read more

A $3 taco at the Portland Saturday Market. They're about the only booth I'd book mark for sure for those visiting. The booth is family run and is cash only. The taco was very good and much better than expected. A true street taco with high quality carne asada pieces and mind you, living in the Bay Area I'm spoiled with pretty good tacos. The kids working were great. Need some extra cilantro or salsa? They can make it happen. I'd have no problem coming straight to this booth the next time I'm in town for the Saturday market. read more

Why doesn't this place have more reviews or pictures? It's really really good food! I am a huge pupusa fan (a fan of the food and the word). Each pupusa is made to order. The pupusa lady grabs some masa de maiz, forms a small tortilla in her hand, stuffs it with pork, cheese and/or beans, then adds a top layer before frying it on the flattop until it reaches a beautiful and crispy goodness! It's topped with the traditional slaw, pico, sour cream and sauce all on the side. I'm already dreaming about more pupusas.... read more

I love their food, they work hard and they are very friendy ! find them at the portland saturday market.

Best pupusas I've ever had, run by what looks like a mother and her daughter. The mother hand makes every pupusa to order. I had the bean, queso fresco, and carnitas. It was absolutely divine. Perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. Don't forget to give it a good squirt of their red and green sauces, both are great! read more

I got a bean pupusa without crema (yay for wheat and dairy allergies!) .. when i mentioned my allergies, she even showed me the packaging on the masa to show me that it was gluten free. You can see her making the pupusas by hand .. she told me it would be about 6 minutes, so I just walked a little around the market before coming back just in time to get my fresh pupusa. Riquisisima! And incredibly comforting on a rainy day. Also she let me practice my Spanish with her haha. Muchas gracias por todo :) read more

This place is THE place for fresh tamales and pupusas. I've had pupusas at other places and this one takes the cake. Get it with extra pickled cabbage and the tomato and hot sauce. The tamales are very moist and chicken is very tender. The beans are the best I've had! I don't normally give 5 stars so this one is a special place. I didn't have time to take pictures because I pretty much swallowed my food. Would go back again and again and again!! read more

The ABSOLUTE best tacos and pupusas in Portland!! We've been coming here for many years and it seriously never disappoints. We eat a lot of Mexican food.....A LOT. Her prices are a bit more than some, but the portions are much larger than most. It's 100% worth any wait in line. I could honestly eat here multiple times a week. Thank you Doña Lola for providing us such great food! read more

I had two chicken tacos and my husband had a chicken tamale. Super delicious meat, and the tortillas were phenomenal. We will be back next time we are at Saturday Market. read more

The most moist tamale I've ever had. Her food is delicious!!!!! Takes a while to get your food, because its fresh! Well worth the wait!
