This place was highly recommended by a friend, known for their pupusas. I'm not too big on pupusas but I wanted to give it a try, maybe this would change my mind about the dish. At 11AM, this place was packed! I ordered an horchata, 2 pork & cheese pupusas with no beans and we also shared a pork tamale. Salvadoran horchata is very different from Mexican horchata, it has a more earthy, chocolate flavor. I liked how the pupusas were made fresh and served with a heaping size of pickled veggies & salsa but overall, I thought it was okay. The pricing on food here is really cheap so I thought that was a plus. They also had a variety of baked goods on the other side. If you enjoy pupusas, I think you should give this place a try. A lot of people seemed to really enjoy them here, but it just wasn't my preference.
We were craving some papusas and were recommended by a friend to come here! It's definitely a hidden gem these papusa were made on the spot so cheesy and filled so well. Definitely coming back again. The order comes with salsa roja and curtido. We definitely ordered more than we could finish in one sitting. We want to come back to try more!
Authentic pupusas! They are made fresh. Our favorite is the bean and cheese one. The zucchini and cheese didn't taste like zucchini. I swear it tasted like jalepeno. I would skip on the tamales. We didn't like the chicken tamale or the elote tamale (sweet corn). It was very dry. Fried plantains and horchata also hit the spot for us. Came on a Sunday during lunch. They were quite busy. Took about 15-20 mins to get our food after waiting 5 mins to ordering. Can't speak for the bakery items yet but looks promising.
La peores pupusas que me he comido en mi vida, una vez vine y probe la pupusas y no tenian nada de relleno, eran solo masa mal cocida y quemadas, le decidi dar otra oportunidad el dia de hoy y no tenian nada de relleno, igual, literalmente solo pague por harina cruda y curtido, el servicio es bueno por la cajera, el piso esta muy muy sucio, y el ambiente muy apresurado y desorganizado, no son pupusas de queso, carne o frijol, son bolas crudas de harina,quemadas por fuera.
Nice local spot for papusas. It's a restaurant and bakery. We ordered the papusas filled with cheese, pork, and beans. Not too thick skin, fried fresh to order, served piping hot, and great flavor. The tomato sauce and cabbage pairs well with it. The plantains with beans/crema was delicious. The fried yuca and chicharron were crispy. We got the carrot and orange juice which was refreshing as well. It gets busy but service can be fast if you beat the rush. There might be a language barrier as the workers are mostly Spanish speaking, but you get by. Prices are very reasonable too!
Well, well, when the food is made in-home and in front of the customers, then you know the food is going to be bomb. This place gives you the savory and the sweet, meaning you can get pupusas and pan in this restaurant/bakery. I came here on a semi-busy Sunday, and this little joint is very family-oriented with each server and cook welcoming each and every customer. The pupusas and yuca fries were the co-stars alongside the servers. Again, you know the food is bomb when random strangers eating outside stop to tell you that everything here is good. Authentic Salvadoran food here! Teacher-approved!
I got the number two with two chicken pupusa this morning really good. I hope everybody can come over and try this if you like El Salvador.
I love their Guava and Cheese Strudels--they're delicious! However, it would be helpful if there were signs for each pastry so I can easily tell the staff what I want to order.
The baked goods here are 5 stars! DELICIOUS!! The bread pudding is to die for! If you are in the area definitely grab a box of baked goodies, you won't be disappointed. The prices are very fair for their baked goods. Now to the pupusas. Mind you my grandmother owned her own pupseria in El Salvador and in Los Angeles, so I know a good pupusa! The pupusas here are on the verge of being the best in the east bay if they just add a bit more filling. When I visited the flavor was on point but it was just too much masa and not enough filling. I also suggest eating there at the restaurant because if you take it home you'll end up with a soggy pupusa due to the condensation from being in a small box while piping hot. I also had the yucca con chicharron (fried cassava and pork rinds) which was a 3 at best. The yucca had no flavor and the chicharron was tough and dry. The service here is not the best and the staff can come off as rude. I was in line to place my order and was completely ignored, another customer walked in after me and their order was taken before mine. I had been there waiting for the past 5 - 10 minutes. The prices are fair ($3 per pupusa) but would maybe suggest upping it to factor in more filling in the pupusas.

All I have to say is--this is San Leandro's hidden gem. The perfect Salvadoran bakery and small restaurant combo. Let's start with the bakery: Pastelitos are absolute favorite. The apple and strawberry are delicious, absolutely mouthwatering, flavorful, and fresh. Everything tastes homemade and comforting. The atmosphere is nice, cozy, and very homie. The pupusas were so delicious--fresh, moist, and not dry at all. The tamale was amazing. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic, homemade comfort-style Salvadoran food read more
I bought my rosca bread ($30) and I specifically asked her if it was fresh and not hard. It was definitely hard making it hard to believe it was fresh. I gave this place a try because I was in the area and honestly I use to think you couldn't mess up on rosca bread; clearly Las Pacitas Bakery can do better. It's not about the price, it's the experience on this holiday of the 3 Reyes. If want dry, hard, tasteless bread this is your place. Lesson learned. As for me I will stick to Cardenas, where not only is it baked in front of you, they are honest and friendly. read more

This was our first time at this bakery... the bread had good flavor and very close to the Guatemalan flavors. Prices are decent and the staff was nice. They also sell pupusas... milkshakes and other stuff so I have to come back again to try everything else little by little. There was a lot of people eating here so I'm guessing it was good. read more

Great stop for salvadoran bread ! However service can be a hit or miss some of the staff is not the most friendly, you can expect to wait until one of the workers decide who should take care of the customer. Many times they seem to be arguing between them. Additionally pupusas are thick in dough around the edges muy masosas, barely any filling but great bread! read more

Very Disappointed Repeatedly. Ordered a couple of pupusas for the family for pick up l and noticed there is barely any cheese or filling in these so called "pupusas". More masa than filling. 99% masa and 1% cheese and or filling. Might as well call them tortillas rather than pupusas because that is what you're eating straight masa. Honestly to call these "pupusas" is disrespectful. This is not the first, nor second nor third time this has happened to me or people who I know who gone to eat at las Pacitas. From our understanding that's how their pupusas are made and it's not a mistake and period. And if you guys don't have suitable cooks that can't make pupusas. Look for cooks that know how to make the Salvadorian food you guys offer. Now if you guys want to eat ONLY MASA and NO cheese or NO Filling then I recommend Las Pacitas Bakery 100%!! Thanks for reading :) Muy decepcionada repetidamente. Pedí pupusas para que la familia comiera, llegamos a la casa y vimos que apenas había queso y relleno en estas tal llamadas "pupusas". Más masa que relleno. 99% masa y 1% queso/relleno. Mejor llamenle tortillas porque pupusas no son porque lo que estan comiendo es solo pura masa y por casi $4 cada una. Llamerle a estas "pupusas" es una falta de respeto. No se pasen Tampoco. Y si no tienen cosineras adecuadas para hacer pupusas Salvadoreñas mejor busquen gente adecuada para la comida que ofrecen. No es la primera, ni la segunda, ni la tercera vez Que le pasado a mi o a la gente que yo conosco que han ido a comer ahi. Lo Que yo entiendo es Que asi las hacen y no fue error y punto. Ahora si ustedes quieren comer SOLO masa y NO queso y NO relleno si les recomiendo las Pacitas Salvadorean bakery 100%!! Gracias por leer. read more

Like many Covid reviews have started...I was at home and had a couple glasses of wine. Now, I've been wanting pupusas for awhile but haven't gone out because I try to limit my time in the outside world. I was SO HAPPY to find that there were on GH and offered delivery because I wasn't going to drive. I ordered a dozen. Mixed, bean/cheese, cheese and cheese/squash. I couldn't figure out how to add extra cabbage (curtido) I called them after I placed my order and no problem adding it on. I also messaged my GH person and they were awesome. The delivery was ON POINT. I know that's more of a GH thing but I want those to know that we were definitely not disappointed. Everything was closed/tied and it was PIPING hot when we received it. It even came about 15 minutes or so earlier than we anticipated. We dove right into our antojo (craving) and all of pupusas were delicious. So good! read more

These pupusas we to die for! The women who work her are so kind and welcoming. Everything is fresh and made upon order. I tried the chicken and cheese, cheese and bean and cheese and everything was awesome. I also went to the left and go treats! Everything was delicious. read more
I was recommended this place by a viewer in my chat (twitch.tv/amkidd). I was looking for a good place to find pupusas and I'm so thankful to have given this place a shot. Staff was very friendly. I was the only English speaker but the cashier taught me a little Spanish to ensure my order was correct lol. So if you don't know Spanish, it's all good! They will help you and that's awesome. The place has a very home-like feeling. It felt like I was in my friends mom's house. As soon as you walk in you'll see the bakery to the left and a busy kitchen to the right. Has a very old but cozy look and feel to the place with plenty of seating available for solo and medium sized parties. I've only had pupusas maybe a few times in my life but I never had it taste this good. The tortillas were buttery and fluffy. When you cut it open, the melted cheese stretches to hold the pieces together. Adding the cabbage along with the salsa boosted the already flavorful pupusas to the next level. I ordered 2 cheese and bean pupusas and 2 pork, cheese, and bean versions. They are pretty small but they packed a punch. Eating 2 of them already filled my stomach up and I had to take the rest to go. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a home type of feel and style for dining and food. I will come back and try the baked goods next! Thank you for being so nice to me and helping me order my food! read more

This is the kind of place that you don't want to review because it's so good... we got pupusas, coffees, and pastries. All of them were completely delicious. Our coffee was a little on the sweet side, but the pupusas were the best I've had in the Bay Area. Strong recommendation. read more
