Amazing place!!!!! Didn't take any pictures because we ate the food so fast, it was sooo good. Plus the employees are the sweetest, my boyfriend and I had the best experience. If you're considering going, GO!!!!!!!!!!! Un lugar maravilloso! No tomamos fotos de la comida porque comimos rapidísimo jajaja. Los empleados eran muy amables. Tuve la mejor experiencia con mi novio cuando fuimos. Si estás considerando ir aquí para probar pupusas, CORRE!!!! TIENES QUE IR!!!!!!!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic. The food is delicious and the service is always great. The best restaurant in Lake Placid by far!!

If royalty means being treated like you're in grandma's kitchen, La Pupusa Queen wears the crown proudly. The place is cozy, decked out with a charming El Salvador vibe, and you can smell the griddled masa magic before you even order. I went for the obvious--the pupusas. Freshly made, warm, with that golden char that whispers "I've been kissed by the griddle." The fillings were tasty, the sauces added the right zing, but... let's just say I left still feeling like I could've pulled a "Queen's encore." These are definitely "snack pupusas" rather than "skip-dinner pupusas," so if you've got a big appetite, order extra or bring a backup plan. Still, flavor-wise, La Pupusa Queen delivers exactly what the name promises--simple, homey, and made with love. Just don't expect to leave feeling like you conquered the royal feast read more

We came here two days in a row and had delicious lunch. Kind and helpful service from the team there. They helped us with small tastes of some drinks we wanted to try and helped us understand when we have questions. Great experience! read more

Excellent seasoning of the food, cash price is lower than credit card. Service is very attentive. Authentic cooking so it will take a little while but so worth it! A small location with outdoor dining. This was a Sunday afternoon meal. read more

Never had a pupusa before coming here. They rocked my socks. Great comfort food, you'll need a nap after eating here.

DELICIOUS pupusas!!! Definitely the best I've had in Florida so far! Especially as a vegetarian with a dairy allergy. This is the first place I've come across with so many vegetarian filling options and will happily make them without cheese. (Most places won't, or aren't nice about it) The service was great; they were so friendly and nice. I ordered 6 and they were ready in 15 mins, separated by veg and non veg. I will definitely be going back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Absolutely fantastic. We had the Pollo Encebollado, think chicken fajitas with a fantastic seasoning. Came with black beans and rice, both fantastic. I've always tried plantains when they come with a meal. This is the first time I did not try and give them away. I will definitely be returning read more

The service was excellent. This family is so friendly and warm. I felt like I was with friends. The food was wonderful. We had different Pupusas, pollo loco and a Chicken special of the day. The flavors were stupendous. Everything was very fresh. I highly recommend it. read more

The dining room is clean, definitely feels like Argentina with the family atmosphere, , beautiful desserts, colorful art and plantings. We had the best fish tacos and steak. The passionflower juice was amazing, also. We will definitely return. Welcome to Lake Placid and we hope you enjoy many years of success. Next time we will take photos. read more

Two years ago I loved this place but the last two times I ordered I was disappointed. Both meals the rice and even the beans had NO FLAVOR it's like they forgot all the cumin , garlic and salt that make black beans great. I got the grilled pork chop last time . It looked and smelled wonderful ! I was so hungry and had it dashed to me. When I started eating the pork chop it had the weirdest CHEWY texture almost like I was eating a pork steak with a lot of fat through it. I am usually someone who will eat it anyway but I wanted to gag by the 3rd bite. Idk if they changed who they get their meat from or what. So I'm like ok at least there the beans and rice.... But I order cilantro rice and both rice and beans and no seasoning. I've had cilantro rice and the cilantro should be able to be tastes. It was like an after taste. And that meal was like $17.99 (not DoorDash of course). Since this was the second time the meal was sub par, I moved on to other places. read more

This is a perfect place to go for a quick tasty snack. We were in Lake Placid and I was excited to see this place. I love pupusas which are corn like pancakes filled with your choice of yummy ingredients. We chose a potato and cheese and a chicken and cheese. They are so good especially with the traditional Cole slaw it's served with. We sat outside under the shade and this snack kept us full for quite some time when we were out and about. So glad we tried it. Give this little spot a try. They have a good number of tasty options!! They are super sweet and welcoming too! read more

La Pupusa Queen - Inside of restaurant. By the time I thought of writing a review the food was gone down my tummy. - Salvadoran Near Me - Lake Placid, Florida

The pupusas are definitely the stars! But the milanesa was a close second! Delicious food and very laid-back traditional style Latin restaurant. If you've never tried a pupusa, get 3 of them with your favorite ingredients. You will be pleasantly surprised! And great friendly host. read more

A PUPUSA QUEEN INDEED! A hidden gem in the town of Lake Placid. It's a small business but their food speaks for itself! The service was handled by two people it seems but it was well organized and it's get packed for lunch time! You can definitely order to go or call them ahead and you can have your order picked up. My husband and I are from Miami so we were visiting the town and decided to try this place! You can sit wherever you like and they come and take your order. The young gentleman that took our order was very active and kind. He made sure our food came timely. The pupusas were delicious and freshly made! The restaurant is very inviting and small. There's a flat screen so you can watch tv or the World Cup while eating as we were. It's very bright and it gives the vibe of El Salvador. There's parking in the small shopping center and some in the back of it, so there's room to park. Moreover, best place to eat in the town of Lake Placid, if you wanna try something other than Wendy's or McDonald's. read more

Great Salvadoran food and good prices too!! It is a hidden gem because you would never guess this place existed in Lake Placid. The pupusas are on point. Some of the best ones i've had. Nicely fried on the outside. The curtido could use a little more tang, but it was freshly made. It is a small place so they may get overwhelmed with larger groups. We met other race crews there which only confirms that this is a hidden gem read more

We picked up takeout while in the area visiting family. The owner was super friendly and ready to answer any questions. We split several papusas as well as an order of tostones and guacamole. Their guacamole is a very generous amount and was one of the best we've ever had. The papusas and he accompanying slaw and sauces were delicious. You could tell they were made to order - they were still hot when got home (even after making a stop or two on the way). Will definitely stop in again next time we're in the area. read more

Great pupusa's (Chorizo and anything is a favorite!) but also excellent tamales and other authentic dishes. The juice drinks are delicious and the fried plantains are excellent. Since it's a family owned place you will receive great, personal service. Bright, clean and welcoming atmosphere. Don't be intimidated by an unfamiliar menu because they are happy to explain things and make recommendations. We love it! read more

Food was delicious highly recommend everything we ordered tasted good. Service was good he explained the menu and made some recommendations

They have the best pupusas. Seafood soup is delicious. Everything I have had is just great

The flavor and freshness spelled quality and carefully prepared. It is my new fav. in Lake Placid.

Family owned and operated. Delicious food, great service, clean, friendly. We felt like guests in their home. We will definitely go back and recommend it. read more

This is one of Lake Placid's gems. So delicious and fresh. The staff is very welcoming. Their Pupusas are on point, love them.

Great place to eat! Whether you are passing through town or live locally.....La Pupusa Queen makes an awesome meal!! We've lived locally for 3 years and finally decided to give the restaurant a try....only regret is that we wish we had visited sooner! The owner is very friendly, took time to converse with us and she cooked our meals. Complimentary chips and salsa roja were provided to us when drinks were served. We each tried the pupusas (revuelta and chicken/cheese). We ordered the breaded chicken and grilled chicken w/ onions. Both meals were served with rice,black beans and sweet plantains. All of the food was delicious! Everything was served fresh, hot and full of flavor. We really enjoyed our dinner here and you should too!....give it a try and if you do you will treat yourself to a great meal and support a local family that has lots of passion about their business. Just as we were finishing our meal the owner had just finished baking homemade chocolate chip cookies ...we were so full....but will definitely be back and next time I'm saving room for cookies read more

I had resigned to the fact that having moved from the Big City (FT Lauderdale) to Lake Placid, serenity and peace would come at the cost of culture and diversity in cuisine. I was wrong. This El Salvadorian Restaurant in downtown Lake Placid is sensational. The Pupusas are scrumptious and come in a variety of fillings. I also ordered the dinner platter of Milanesa de Res Empanizado which is a thin steak encrusted in a seasoned crumb batter, with cilantro rice and Frijoles and sweet plantains. It was absolutely delicious and very generously portioned. I ordered this time for takeout but will make a point to eat in the next time. And yes, there will be a next time. Don't miss out! read more
