Yummy and affordable pupusas. I love the coleslaw/veggies and sauce that come with it. What a great cuisine experience as a first timer.

Really good authentic El Salvadorian food. Pupusas were excellent. Service was great. I will be back.

I've been here a handful of times and I have yet to go inside, I've heard it's tiny like super tiny and there's tables inside a few of them, for that reason I pick up , you can order ahead and pick up, I recommend that option since they make your pupusas fresh they take a minute .. well more like 20 mins if you order 10 like me lol, Pupusas are always hot , delicious and big! Yum! I recommend the revueltas , they have chicharron, cheese and beans , yummy! My absolute fav. Ordering by phone was easy and pick up was a bliss ... they just forgot my salsa and curtido... but next time lol Parking can be a problem in the weekends read more

So happy we finally decided to stop and give this place a try. Sunday at 1pm and the place is packed. We have been to the international store next door soooo many times and nobody inside and of course when we visit it's packed. That's a great sign. I have never had puposas before so we had a learning curve and the waitress didn't speak much English but between my husbands Italian and her Spanish we figured it out. We tried 4 different ones, the cheese and flower, the chicken and cheese, the pork and chicken combo and spinach and cheese. All of them were tasty but the chicken and pork mixtures were our favs. The frijoles and rice were excellent and the pina aqua Fresca was the bomb. We both left so full and the tab was under $25!!!! $25!!! All in all a winner, we will definitely be back to try the tamales and elotes plus need to try the fried plantains. 9/10 read more

The pupusas were delicious. Nice tender fluffy texture. The fried plantains were perfectly cooked and so good. My husband loved the El Salvadorean Horchata. The service was very pleasant with a smile and helpful. The restaurant cleanliness was not impeccable, but the tables and serving ware were adequately clean. Seemed like an authentic El Salvadorean restaurant. We will probably go back! read more

Many a time I've sat in the Taco Casa drive-thru line, eyeballing the little "Maria's Pupuseria" sign across the street, wondering what I've been waiting for. Well I finally did it, I went. I even called ahead and ordered for carry out. When I arrived it was fairly busy inside, a handful of parties and 2 people at the register, waiting for their takeout ahead of me. The space is small, clean, and extremely casual. There are a couple TVs, a fridge filled with bottled drinks for sale, and a few desserts for sale as well. The staff was super kind and helpfu I ordered 2 bean and cheese pupusas, 2 jalapeno and cheese, and 1 chicken and cheese. Pupusas are made of corn masa (sometimes rice flour too). They're served hot with a side of red salsa and a little pickled cabbage slaw.. so so good!! Each pupusa is a good size and perfectly griddled with love. Kl rice is a buttery white rice with veggies, very flavorful, and the refried beans were sooo well seasoned. Can't want to go back! read more

Came to satisfy a craving and I got more than I expected! The chips and salsa were free and freshly made at the restaurant! The sweet plantain were perfectly cooked and were a nice treat or snack but the star of the show was definitely the pupusas and the curtido (fermented cabbage slaw) l! I will definitely be back!! This place is so good and reasonably priced compared to other Salvadoran restaurants in the area. read more

Las pupusas son súper ricas es el restaurant favorito de mi hija a ella le encantan las pupusas. Y el servicio muy bueno

What is not to love about this local spot in a strip mall. This place can be over looked if you are not careful. The service was sweet and it seemed like a local joint. My mom had a seafood soup that she loved. The portion size was huge. I had 2 papusa's which were great. I wish I would have ordered more from the menu. I will be back read more

Authentic Salvadorian Food!!! We ordered our food to go. Now that we know it could take some time to get our food, we will call ahead in the future. (This is the only reason we gave it 4 stars). They were busy and while waiting, we noticed huge portions going out to those dining in. Especially, some type of soup. Outside of pupusas, it looked like the soup and tamales were very popular. The staff was very nice and helpful and even tried to help me with my Spanish since I told them I'm trying to learn. We ordered chips & salsa (the salsa was so flavorful although we wouldn't mind more spice); pork, bean, & cheese pupusa; chicken, bean, & cheese pupusa; and pork, cheese, & loroco (a flower they said it is similar to zucchini). By the time we got home, which was about a 30 minute drive, the food was still very hot. It was fresh, tasted authentic, and was so delicious. Especially, the curtido. We will definitely go back and will make sure to call ahead if not dining in. I should've taken more pictures of the food though. Make sure to check this place out. I'm sure you will find something you will like and the pupusas will not disappoint you either. read more

We've gone to another local shop for years that makes pupusas. We found this place this week and were very happy. The pupusas were big and soft and made me very happy. I have no idea how long they've been here, but I wish we had found them earlier. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything that we ordered was so good. We got 2 each of the Bean/Cheese and Spinach/Cheese pupusa's, fried tilapia, and fried plantains. The spinach/cheese pupusa was the best of the bunch, but I would order any of the rest of it again. The salsa was good, and the chips nice and crispy. The staff was friendly and efficient. read more

Loved it here!!! Delicious pupusas- we had the chicken, cheese and bean (pollo, Queso and frijol) and the pork (chicharron) also tried tamales - chicken was yummy and I had the fried corn tamales and they tasted like a delicious fried cornbread shaped like a tamale!! If you speak any Spanish this is a great place to practice!! The waitresses were so nice and encouraging but they speak enough English to help you. read more

I was visiting Texas from California with my husband who is from El Salvador. I looked on Yelp and found Maria's Pupuseria. I ordered a little bit of everything to go from pupusas, tamales, yucca frita, tamales de pollo, tamales de elote and atol de elote. I shared with my family who had never tried this cuisine. Everything was delicious and they loved it. Everyone was very friendly and they even carried my food out for me. I highly recommend Maria's and I will definitely go back the next time we visit Texas. read more

Food is delicious and a reasonable price some of the best pupusas I have tasted around the DFW area, our server Karla was super attentive and her recommendations were great I eat lunch there every week read more

Honestly, best pupusas I've had since I left Los Angeles. Large, always hot and if you get them packed to go, they definitely know how to make sure they remain delicious on the ride home. Staff are always ultra warm and welcoming. Ambience is a traditional Latin restaurant with fun kitschy pictures of the home country and table top seating. read more

SUCH GOOD PUPUSAS. My favorite was the bean and cheese. It was to die for. Second favorite was easily squash and cheese. Chicken and cheese was good but I personally prefer vegetarian pupusas. They were all so flavorful and well-seasoned inside and perfectly griddled on the outside. They are massive. I got a couple to try different flavors but got so full off of one. They all come with slaw and salsa. One thing I'd say is I've had tangier slaw and more corn flavor from a pupusa at other locations but nowhere near DFW so for the time being, this will definitely be my go to place. It only took about 15 minutes to get our food. Everything is so dang cheap. Each pupusa is $2. I could have lunch here for less than $3. That's crazy. I can't wait to come back! read more

Um...wow! This place is a hidden gem in Arlington! I had a craving for pupusas and came across this place here on Yelp. Super glad we tried this place out! They have a wide variety of fillings for their pupusas. I got the pork, bean and cheese pupusas with a side of rice and beans. These pupusas were huge and packed with the filling! It came with two and I barely finished both of them. The slaw that came with it was fresh and flavorful! The salsa was on point. They did serve fresh tortilla chips with their house salsa which tasted amazing. Now I know where to go to get more pupusas. Go try this place out! Super friendly staff too! PS: the menu prices have changed. It's about $2.30 each. Still a great deal for the portion of the food. read more

Popuzas you want? This is the place to find them, and they are excellent!! The place is rather small and only seats about 30 people, so walk in and take a seat. You seat down and you will have Chips and warm salsa, all the popular latino soft drinks are served along with orchata, tamarindo, Jamaica and piña. You have 10 different kinds of popuzas, four of them are no-meat choices. We had chicken, zucchini, loroco and spinach popuzas, all with delicious Salvadoran cheese ($2.00 each). They are large and filling, so if you normally order 3 at other restaurants, just order 2. And to get the full experience, get an order of fried plantains that come with Salvadoran crema and black beans ($5.50). Overall the best Salvadoran restaurant experience I had in years!! read more

The food is delicious ! We love the spinach and cheese papusas, chicken tamales and all the soups are spot on. Salsa is delicious as well.

Excellent food! The Pupusas WILL fill you up and the Pork Tamale is SO good. A little warm in there...but it is in El Salvador too. LOL TRY IT OUT...you won't be disappointed. read more

This is now my go to pupusa place. They've expanded since I last left a review and have more tables and space. Today I went with my mom and dad on Sunday around noon. The place was occupied, but service was still excellent! I love the homemade chips & salsa. Today I got the sopa de marisco for the first time and my mom tried the menudo. Both were very tasty & fresh! Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already. read more

Muy rico todo 10/10 Calabaza QuesoSabe exactamente cómo cuando estaba en El Salvador las mejores pupusas de Dallas Fort Worth

best pupusas in Arlington! love the flavor and all the ingredients used for them are fresh. service is friendly and kind!

This is a perfect example of why I love yelping these family run gems are always going be my favorite experience this one is on South Cooper few blocks from UTA. In a non-chalant small strip store it has 6 tables which sit 6 guest each so if you aren't friendly it ain't for you. The cook is so sweet and the service was great. The chips were homemade flaky and no grease, a dipping delight for sure the popusas were we're the size of a pancake and 2.30 each (Say Whaaat!) I had 2 with appetizer of chicharron and Yucca fries see photo's posted with description,finish it off with a sweet Tamale which was perf,ect for my acquired taste, all prepared as you like hot from grill. This place gets crowded quick during peak hours is better to order ahead and pickup Only reason I dropped a was it was a bit toasty inside as the AC was struggling in this heatwave otherwise it 5 stars real Salvadoran food served here. I going go finish my leftovers now Mmmm doggy. read more

The revuelta pupusas were really good, the chicken tamale was not the best I've had, and the customer service when picking up food was bad customer service. I had to stand and look at a waitress copy an order from one paper to another after I had already told her I was picking up food. After having to watch her copy for a couple of minutes while I was standing there she left and started helping taking food out of the kitchen. Another waitress finally came and charged me. It should not take 10 minutes to pick up food when I was the only person in line. read more

Based on looks, it's not the most beautiful place. On the other hand the pupusas are amazing. They are always fresh, piping hot, and melt in your mouth fantastic. Definitely worth giving this place a try!! read more

Food is good , the pupusas were bomb !! Only issues Is our waitress.. first she had a low voice and she hardly check up on us , had an attitude, and look like she didn't even wanted to take of us .I get it maybe she's tired or annoyed but don't put your attitude on us . Mrs girl with highlights . read more

Our first time ordering here. We had pupusas only: 2 cheese, 2 revueltas and 2 chicken/cheese. Wow, they were 100% freshly cooked and yummy. The entire pupusa was full of flavor and very juicy...zero dryness. They automatically pack a cabbage mix and salsa to put on top. I will definitely be going back very soon. If you've never tried it and are looking for pupusas, I totally recommend it. read more

Food was so good, the tamale is one of the best I have ever had. I wanted to eat more of them but still had a plate of food left. I really enjoyed the papusas, never had them before and the reviews were spot on. The only thing was they ran out of salsa for the chips but that's ok, I was there for the food. The food was very reasonably priced, $12 for 2 papusas, tamale, beans, crema and horchata. Thank you for the great food and the kindness from the staff. read more
