    We got three cheese and bean pupusas today with extra curtido for 2.50…read more These are the best pupusas in the East Bay. Large, stuffed generously and just delicious. We loved their red spicy sauce and super crunchy fresh curtido. They are packed into small zip lock bags. I forgot to take photos since I was hungry. This little shop is in the middle of nowhere next to a small auto parts shop and parking is limited. The immediate area is ugly and industrial but the pupusas keep us coming back. Best taken to go. It's not a comfortable spot to eat in. We paid 4 dollars per pupusa to go. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

    The freshest most authentic Salvadoran food I've ever had. Recently, I came and ate here twice in…read moreone day it was so good. My go to is the 3/$12 Revuelta pupusas and the Plantains with the beans . Top tier beans and plantains. I am so glad I found this place. It is very close to my work. I do recommend calling in your order at least 30 minutes before so that it'll be ready for you to pick up. sometimes they do not answer their phone but they will give you a call back. Keep in mind they do not accept tap pay, but they do accept Zelle and Venmo if you need to make a mobile payment. It is small and cozy inside but there are at least 4 tables if you want to dine in. They do have a few tvs if you were there to relax while waiting or out with your family. Being new to the area, this place will definitely be my go to for pupusas.

    I'm Nicaraguan descent - so anytime I'm on the Hwy 4 corridor I stop by Pupusa Time…read more The Cacao brought back childhood memories. The carne asada with plátanos fritos, Home made tortillas & queso frito just rounded it off perfectly. Friendly staff and attentive. Will be returning for more home cook memories...

    Pupusa time is worth a visit but unfortunately fell short for me…read more I ordered a 2 pupusa combo with revuelta and carne de res. Out of the 2, I think the carne was my favorite as I could taste more of the filling flavor. The salsa was good but I think the curtido could have used longer fermenting to give it a little more tang. The combo comes with a small side of rice and beans. Both had good flavors but the rice was cold and the beans were too thin for my liking. The beans had more of the consistency of a thin soup which I was expecting more of a chowder. The staff was friendly in greeting and taking my order. Service is slow but expected as good pupusas take time. My issue for my first time visiting was figuring out their system. I wasn't sure if they bring you a check or you go to the register when you're done. At the end of my meal I waited quite a bit after finishing my meal to see if they'd bring a check to me but ultimately just went up to the register after I felt like I sat there longer than I felt comfortable and just wanted to head home. Not sure if that's the correct process or not still.
