Best Papusas and the other food is really good. Super great customer service and the ambiance is very welcoming.

Everything we order was good, we had the salvadoreño breakfast it's scrambled eggs with veggies refried beans sour cream cheese and fried plantains comes with a French roll. Then we had pupusas revueltas were the best and queso con loroco. To drink we had atole de elote it was delicious we try their agua fresca de marañon(cashew apple) it was so delicious and refreshing. also got a cola champagne it's a traditional soda from El Salvador. The restaurant has been updated it has plenty of tables to sit, it was super busy since we got there right when they open. We will be back soon to try other items. read more

I love this place! The pupusas are outstanding and the burritos huge and delicious! Here for dinner last night. I had a revuelta pupusa and a side of rice and my husband had a regular chicken burrito. Also ordered a pupusa to go because I love them so much. The restaurant was quiet and the service was great. Pupusa was sooo good. The curtido here is milder than other curtidos, but I think was perfect for the pupusa. The rice was mild in flavor and at times a bit crunchy. The burrito was delicious and huge. I had my pupusa to go for lunch today and my husband had half his burrito from dinner for lunch. The leftovers were still delicious. We have an appointment in the area next week, so we're already planning to come back for more! read more

Their shrimp ceviche is a damn joke. Instead of having shrimp chopped up and cooked by the lime juice, it was cooked baby salad shrimp. Not authentic at all. read more

3 things I struggle with when exploring new places, new Barber, new mechanic and new pupuseria. But today I found my Pupuseria lol Carlos helped out, I didn't try their horchata but they have it available. Their quality is awesome! They are stuffed so 4 is enough for a grown ass man who likes pupusas but I ended up chowing down 6. Inside is nothing special, they do have Mexican soccer leagues on tv so it's super chill. They have 2 different types of red chile. Solo le preguntan si prefieres el más caliente de los dos. Si buscas una pupuseria con buena qualidad y precios muy baratos los recomiendo. read more

Food is good ,amount of food for the price ,not enough food drinks, orchata not good no flavor it looks and taste like ice water , the rice not recommended is precooked ready to eat rice doesn't taste Mexican or salvadorean rice hard and dry, beans good. Fry plantain and beans plate very good but very greasy . I wish the owner put more attention in the service because every time we go is only one person in the back cooking and only one doing front register and waitress , not good for the customers but overall I recommend better than other places. read more

Customer service always on point love the whole menu. Down to the pupas... I love this place hands down the best chimichangas n pupas

Delicious pupusas! This is the closest pupusa joint to Roseville and they really hit the spot. Got one cheese, one chicken and cheese and a plate of plantains and beans. The cream is great on all of it too. Will definitely be back! Service was quick and staff is friendly too read more

La Sonsonateca Restaurant - Pupusas, plantains and beans - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I love your food. I don't have to drive to San Francisco now and get my food. I love the fried bananas with beans and cream is perfect anytime of the day and healthy. And the pupusa is really good if you ever want something quick and easy to eat really good. I also like the Horchata, which is a drink. It's one of the best I taste around. Also, their soup. It's amazing chicken soup. It's completely different that you were having anywhere else. Try you tell me what you think. read more

There is a good selection of Mexican and El Salvadorian dishes. I tried the plantains, chicken empanadas and pasteles. All delicious. I would go back again. read more

It makes me sad this place is so far from my house. I Initially came here because the cooks were the original cooks from another Pupuseria in Sacramento that used to be my goto spot for Salvadorian cuisine. I was glad to find out that they are still cooking some of if not the best Papusas in sacramento. My favorite are absolutely the jalapeño and cheese and the bean and cheese. Really though they are all pretty much awesome. The Cortito has great flavor so make sure to slather it on there. We always get a side of the beans because I really like the Salvadorian and beans. I've always found them to have a better salt aftertaste than normal refried beans. We also always get some plantanos and creama. Don't sleep on the delicious Pasteles... really solid. read more

Solid option for a tasty, no nonsense meal. The ambiance is okay, definitely more high tech than I expected with an electronic checkout/order option. Service was prompt and the waitstaff were friendly. read more

Me dejaron esperando en el teléfono por más de 15 minutos - la pinchie doña se metió el teléfono en fundió !!! Gente repugnante

I stumbled upon this pupuseria by chance, and boy am I glad that I did! It appears from the previous yelp reviews there's been an interior remodel of the tables. I absolutely love the painted and laquered artwork of the chairs on both sides too! Off food topic as I am a huge talvera and mexican painting collector as I love all the vibrant images. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon, lunch time, but sadly was the only customer. I truly hope this is because it was a weekday as this restaurant deserves great business. The employee was really friendly. I ordered 2 revuelta pupsas. If you are not familiar, these are pork bean and cheese filled. I also ordered a crispy/hard shell shredded chicken taco. I was surprised how fast the food came out. If you've ever ordered pupusas the wait is usually long due to the process. I was pleasantly surprised. The taco was a lot smaller than I had expected, but what it lacked in size it gained in flavor! The shell was cooked just perfectly, the chicken was seasoned very well, and I would order it again. The curtido and salsa also left some to be desired, I am used to Mexican oregano and red pepper flakes packing some heat and flavor as well as peppers in the salsa; however, it did the trick. Again, if you are unfamiliar, curtido is a Salvadorean slaw that tops the pupusas, usually served on the side cabbage and carrots with onion vinegar usually oregano and red pepper. I love curtido, could eat it by itself. The pupusas had the most cheese pull I have ever had with a pupusa, and the flavor was amazing!!! The curtido and salsa paired well. Let me just say if you are questioning trying this place out, no need, just go for it. I have been to 6 other local pupusa places in Sacramento, and this hit top 2! I will most definitely be back soon and hope others will join as well. read more

La Sonsonateca Restaurant - Pupupas. Beef soda and steak plate. - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Service- ordered food over phone, asked if they had Horchata, but never once was I asked if I wanted Salvadorian horchata or Mexican.....being that's it's owned and operated by Salvadorians, I figured they new what I was asking for, on arrival I noticed in the back of the cashier that they had three fountains, one being mexican horchata....i asked the cashier if the horchata he gave me was Salvadorian and he said no it was Mexican, told him I did not like it and asked if I can change the drinks to frescos and he told me the OWNER did not like them to waste the containers and it was already packaged and paid for so the answer was no....the horchata he gave Ulsan was rancid and one of them had foam and smelled sour....i don't know how often they clean their machine's but it was NASTY STAY AWAY FROM THE DRINKS IN THE DISPENSER..... Food- was so disappointed on the Pupusas, cheese was definitely different....ordered platanos and beans and they packed the platanos on top of the refried beans which caused the beans to spill out of the container.....we love their beans too and had barely any left toneat with our platanos.... Overall- very unpleasant customer service, they need to ask on the phone WHAT KIND OF HORCHATA you want!!!!!!! Wasted a pretty penny on LARGE disgusting horchata, not cheap....we won't be going back..... read more

The Pupusas Revueltas and sopa de res were good. I love how they cut the plantain in small bite sizes on The Platanos Y Crema Con Frijoles. It was a little crispy on the outside. I think they caramelized some sugar on the plantains that makes it even better. read more

We ordered pupusas de chicharrón, this people give me cheese and I try to return them because that's not what I ordered. The guy(cashier)said "the owner would not want to do that, we can't give your money back" where in the hell have you seen this? Please do yourself a favor and do not go to this place. read more

I would highly recommend this place! The food is so good! I ordered the chicken and cheese pupusa and it was amazing! And I also had the corn drink and it was the best thing I ever tasted! I can't wait to go back and get more! The service and ambiance is so cute and I thought the lady who took my order was very sweet read more

Had a craving for pupusas on the way home from the airport and stopped into La Sonsonateca. Couldn't be more happy with our experience and food quality. There is plenty of seating for large groups and we appreciated the aesthetic! The gentleman who took our orders and brought us our meals was very nice and accommodating. And can't say enough about how delicious everything we ordered was. I love their selection of pupusas. Everything tasted amazing. Definitely found our favorite El Salvadoran restaurant! read more

This has been our favorite pupusa spot since we moved to this area last year. My husband is Salvadoran and VERY picky when it comes to Salvadoran food. We have tried many pupusa places around the area and La Sonsonateca is our favorite! The pupusas are cooked to order, so they are fresh and delicious. The salsa and curtido is always on point, and the other food we've ordered has always tasted amazing. They've recently added brand new tables and spruced up their decor, making it an even better experience. They are all friendly, courteous, and we have always received the best service. read more

It's so hard to find a papusaria around here so I was excited when I stumbled across this. I had to try one of each flavor. My favorite was the chorizo. Only complaint I have is that they were so greasy! Maybe some prefer them that way though. All in all, I would return if in the area. read more

I've had their chicken, pork, and jalapeño papusas. The were so delicious and fresh. The cabbage alone that you put on top was also fresh and delicious.

awesome service and even better food! also, they have imported beers which is a huge plus to enjoy with your meal.

Anytime a Salvadorian restaurant comes up, I've got to check it out. La Sonsonateca was no exception. First things first, you better have those pupusas tasting delicioso if I'm going to try anything else. They were superb. Queso con loroco, revuelta, chicharron, all there. Authentic, fresh, and just like you got them from the autopista outside of the airport in El Salvador. Next, plátanos. RICO! They were great. At this point, I had to look through the kitchen window to make sure my abuela wasn't running the kitchen. An agua fresca was next on my list. Sure enough, MONEY. Horchata de morro (Salvadorean horchata). If you've never ordered it, it's a must. You'll never look at Mexican horchata the same again. The rest of the menu is as authentic as you can get. Plenty of platos and appetizers to suit all tastes. Especially those looking for a taste of El Salvador. Pleasantly surprised, and I'm a frequent patron now. There's not many pupuserias in the area, but this is worth coming to for sure. read more
