    Pupusas revueltas

    This is one of those hidden gems that you may pass by on your drive.. well don't! Make sure you make this your next stop for lunch or dinner because it will not disappoint. I will warn you though, the pupusas are pretty big so unless you bring a huge appetite, you should be ok with 2 of them ($3/ea). The curtido and the salsa come with and when you add it all together it is a delicious meal. For 18$ we had 5 pupusas and a drink and we felt more than satisfied.. They do take cards and there's a very small area for you to enjoy your meal. It's small but it looked welcoming and clean. Give it a try next time you're on Hampden :)

    In door seating

    From the moment we walked in the door we knew we made a good choice. From pleasant greeting to recommendations for our kids we were all taken care of. Every person order came in it's own box just as ordered. I had the asada pupusa and a quest pupusa both smothered in delicious green Chile topped with sour cream. We originally were going to take it to go but since there was seating and it was cozy we decided to stay. Music was playing in the back ground and we were even checked in on to make sure we enjoyed the meal. We will be back!

    Que Putaso echa este restaurant. A+ service, quality, cleanliness, and delicious pupusas. Small business on Hampden Frontage rd, recommend you try them out. Very homely service, even the coffee was good. Supposedly they coming out with a new menu with more different pupusas.... he mention Pepperoni! Buahaha Pepperoni Pupusa, mmmmm there is one other place I know in Louisville. Rather come here because it's just as great and location is closer. Thank you friend you earned a new customer

    Pupusas (asada, mushroom, ham + pineapple)

    I loved everything about Mile High Pupusas! The service was friendly and the food was amazing. You can leave here feeling very full for under $10. Everything is made to order and they don't just have pupusas - they have smothered fries, breakfast burritos, tacos, and other yummy options. I had three pupusas. One was carne asada, the second was mushroom, beans, and cheese, and the third was ham, pineapple, and cheese. They were all very tasty. I will definitely be back. The suburbs really needed a place like this - small, locally owned, reasonably priced, and providing more variety in cuisine!

    These were so yummy . I called to place a pick up order and the process was easy and fast . Within 15 min I had my order hot and ready to devour. Everything was flavored and tasted home made . Will come back for sure .

    Top 3 pupusa I've had in the metro! Slightly larger than your average pupusa and the filling was sufficient.

Pupusas are thick, stuffed corn masa filled with things like cheese, beans, pork, fish and grilled. We started with the curtido, which is the traditional Salvadoran pickled cabbage slaw. Tangy, crunchy relish made from finely shredded cabbage, carrots, pickled in vinegar. Our party of two decided to share the mixto. This hit the right spot because it had everything from savory to sweet and more. Two pupusas, fried yuca, banana leaf tamale, sweet corn tamale, fried plantain, plantain empanada, savory empanada, sour cream and cheese. For those looking for a little spice in their lives, you can pick your poison. Watch for this salsas, you've been warned. Stop in and experience the taste of El Salvador!

The place is small but definitely cozy and inviting. The staff are kind and treat you like family. The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best I've had in a long time. The pupusa was perfectly balanced, it wasn't under or over stuffed. The tamal was perfectly sweet and was balanced out by the saltiness of the crema it was served with. The maracuya tastes just like back in Miami. Next time I'm in Colorado I'm making it my mission to stop by here again.

I'll admit; I am still new to this cuisine and yet I've been to a really good restaurant that boasts this type of food in the central Denver. Having that memory still fresh in mind, when I discovered this place accidentally today, there was no need for me to waste time to second guess about the food. The restaurant is easy to spot; its restaurant name is clearly on the front of the building with big letters. Its boastful existence to let people know about it is something I can appreciate. My anticipation was high due to its current ratings of near-perfect 5 stars. Whereas I've been to places where I truly thought they were simply overrated, I was under the impression that this place was an exception. Upon entering the eatery, a bright pastel colored mural (or wall painting I should say) with restaurant name on it was right in front of me. Its vividness - as if to say that it depicts the colorfulness of the dishes they serve - was a sure indication that it is a diverse restaurant with flavorful cooking. This also enhanced my anticipation. While I was taking some photos at the reception that was unmanned, a young lady eventually came to me with a welcoming voice. She then immediately asked me if I was there for a dine in or to go to which I said to go. The menu is a good size. Colored pictures with easy-to-understand dish name and the description, no person gets confused with what they have to offer. My intent was to get me a few small side dishes and yet as soon as I saw the "Paradise Plate" ($31.95 as of June 14, 2025), I was like, "why not?" even though I wasn't there to buy a huge plate to be shared with someone else. If you visit this place for the first time, this dish is recommended as it has everything. And the portion is huge (this can be easily split between two people.) The plate contains 3 traditional pupusas (which you'll be asked to choose from the traditional pupusa section), 1 chicken or pork tamale, 1 corn tamale, 1 savory empanada, fried yucca (2 pieces) and fried plantain (2 pieces) are all in 1 plate. On top of that, coleslaw type salad/veggie and red sauce accompanied the whole thing so when the young lady handed me my food, the plastic bag was quite the weight. Oh my goodness, what did I just get??? As a tradition of mine, as soon as I got to my car, I immediately opened the bag and then I was like oola la, I realized that I simply got waaaaaay too much food for one person. Sound like I was complaining and yet I was filled with unexplainable joy that filled my heart and mind. Some were deep-fried, some were pan-fried or oven-baked. However they were cooked, their rich and oily flavors with all kinds of spices and ingredients were all over my mouth. I ate some of it in 2 separate sittings and yet the container still had plenty of food left for me to morsel the next day. No wonder this place has 4.5 stars by people who experienced the goodness they offer. Let's not forget. The restaurant is a good size. It was clean. It's got some bar seating perfect for solo diners. I wonder how crowded it gets on a peak lunch or dinner time. Anyway, I am not sure how many (El) Salvadorian cuisine restaurants that exist in the greater Denver area and yet, this must be ranked one of the top 5 for sure. I may still like the one on Colorado Boulevard as it's a lot closer to my house (for a convenience reason), this place checks for great food and service. Whereas I thought some of the foods were a bit too oily to my liking, its overall food quality speaks for itself as to why people fancy this restaurant. For those who live in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, lucky them!
