Bean on bottom, cheese and onion on top
Dana P.

I had read in other reviews that it can take a while for the order to be made, so it helps to call ahead. The woman running this little stand hung up on me when I tried to order because I said I only wanted one. She said she didn't make just one, and hung up. So, I decided to go in person. When I arrived, I saw a sign that said it had to be an order of two or more. I ordered three (cash only, by the way). They all come with cheese, but I ordered one bean, one onion, and one chicken. I asked her what her own favorite one was, and she said none. Okay, great start. She does make them from sh, which was great. They came out piping hot! It took about 15 minutes. We ate in the car, since there are no tables around and the ambiance is basically just a parking lot, which is fine. The bean was good, but was boring. The cheese and onion was fine, but lacked the onion flavor I was hoping for. It was just raw onion with cheese. And then, the chicken tasted like canned chicken (and looked it) and was not good at all, unfortunately. I've had papusas before, so I kind of knew what to expect and this wasn't it. Aside from my experience, the place was popping at lunch and a ton of people were there... Maybe I just haven't found the right one to try!

Menu

Delicious, affordable, and homemade! Very special spot. Called ahead and placed an order for pickup (~30 min. wait). The owner speaks Spanish and will most likely answer the phone so.

I enjoyed the food, the lady does a fantastic job! However, her people skills could improve. If you've seen Seinfeld, "The Soup Nazi" episode, she would play that roll very well. & BRING CASH! It is a cash only place, make sure you have change. She couldn't break a $20 when a friend & I went for lunch. I ordered 3 - mushroom, spinach & one of the meat ones that had an interesting name to it. I would choose something besides spinach next time. The others were yummy!

All of this delicious food for $ 14.90.

I had never tried Pupusas previously so I had to run to Union Jack anyway why not give it a try. Yes the elderly lady was a bit edgy so what she has lived long enough to have attitude. The food was real good I had a pork and a chicken and both were good. The salsa was ok and the cabbage with vinegar and carrots gave it a little more flavor. The prices are very reasonable so noone tell them they are in Boulder county or they will charge too much. I will be back to try other menu selections.

Flavorful Salvadoran Pupusas! A Pupusas is a thick corn tortilla with a flavorful filling served with salsa and fermented cabbage (Curtis). Worth a try if you you haven't had one. They have a dozen different filings such as pork, mushroom, chicken, bean, onion, olive, spinach and zucchini. Order 2 or 3 ($6 or $9 respectively). It is a food truck but is somewhat permanent at this location- dark red with white trim. Call in advance (720-296-7000) if you are in a hurry- they make them to order and there can be a line. Mostly take away or you can eat them at the benches there- weather permitting.

Cute Louisville food truck! You can relax in a chair while you wait for your order.

Quick tip: call to order your food 15 minutes in advance. Otherwise, you get to wait 15 minutes in the parking lot while they prepare your food:) cash only! I love that this food truck is only two miles from my apartment, and I drive by it all the time when I go grocery shopping! I finally stopped by and enjoyed my cheesy Pupusas. They have a lot of filling options, ranging from pork and chicken to olives and baby zucchini. They serve as a tasty snack or small meal. I liked the side salsa, though some Yelpers point out that the salsa is more Mexican than El Salvadoran, so it's not a super authentic side to the Pupusas. The truck itself is cute. A couple of chairs and a small table sit out front. I saw a couple of people bike to the truck to pick up their food.

Hard to compete a better review then others mention here! I will only give you the insights. One day some boy cried I want pizza and his parents had no intentions of getting one. "here mocoso aqui esta tu pizza" his mother said, creation of the pepperoni pupusa. The cook is a young at heart woman who I feel has a lot of love for her food. Her husband if she has one is already in heaven. The infamous Salvadorian creation come out piping hot and delicious. All three of my variety pupusa were amazing. Salsa and slaw fresh and crisp. This is the real deal competition to the one in Denver on Colfax. Cash only and God bless this stand and continues to serve their hot crisp delicious pupusas.

Yumm it is !! The lady makes fresh Pupusas and sells from her cart on wheels. It is awesomeness, 2 for $5. Dont under estimate the food as it is from the cart. There is some quaint seating around the van. Perfect for quick lunch. :) We tried 4 flavors of Pupusas -- Chicken, Zuchini, Bean and Loroco It comes with Salsa and side of pickled salad. Tasted great and was piping hot (melted cheese). I have uploaded a pic of the food. I have tried Pupusas in Farmers market as well, this one definitely takes my vote. Salvadorian Owner of the restaurant speaks little English and little she know's, how famous are her Pupusas on Yelp! So this goes for the owner and fellow yelpers. You can order on Phone (720-296-7000), 15 mins prior to pick up.

Smelled so good I had to dig in!

The Loroco Papusa is my favorite, and I often order one Loroco and one Chicken Papusa for a filling meal.

This place is the definition of hole in the wall BUT for all the right reasons. Small, authentic…read moreand amazing pupusas. 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!

This was an absolute amazing find during my trip to Colorado. These are legit, homemade pupusas and…read moreman was I happier than a bug in a rug Located in a packed small plaza, Pupusas Lover delivers on flavor and authenticity! 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.
