A Salvadoran UBER Driver told me I should try this. I'm glad he did! I had lunch there today. I had two different Pupusas ( the staple food of El Salvador). Both were delicious. If you haven't been here before, give it a try - you won't be disappointed. The staff if "family" - all very endearing. The surrounding are very humble. I'll be returning soon to try different Pupusas and other dishes. read more

I went here a couple times 4 times total nothing but good things to say about it. The food is great my personal favorite frijoles con queso. The service was alright enough for you not to complain. The place is quite small the staff is small so do expect a wait for your food, but it will be worth it in the end. A little on the price side but still affordable. read more

Delicious authentic salvadorean food. The pupusas are delicious but a bit overpriced. The horchata is dairy free which I appreciated so much. I tried their mixto plate which has a bit of everything and it was yummy. I also tried their agua de marañon and it was also delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Exceptional tasting food. I have eaten there several. Everything is made fresh and I love the pupusa, the amazing sauce, and the spicy coleslaw (closest way I know to describe the cabbage salad side) all together. They compliment each others perfectly. I order extra just so I can take some home, because the family loves it just as much. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Woowwww! We were driving down to go shopping and oh no, the stomach started rumbling. We pulled into this eclectic strip mall. The place is cute and the staff is attentive. We ordered a collection of the pupusas and a pollo sandwich. The food arrived quickly. The sandwich was amazing, the dip plus sandwich was bursting with flavor. The pupusas came with a collection of sauces. They were so good, each bite with a different sauce changed up the dynamic. Love, might schedule my shopping errands around lunch time from now on.... read more

This place is heavenly! Been here twice now and the pupusas are to die for. Last time I shared the lovers platter and this time since we had more people we got the mixed platter and everything on that platter was amazing too. The pork tamal was so tender and tasty, the chicharron was awesome, I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet options but they were alright. So hungry I forgot to take photos before we dug in. read more

Great little place. Don't blink or you will miss it. Flavorful, quick. Plenty on the menu.

This is a small place with a handful of tables. You can get it to go or dine in. We had vegan papusas. They were generously portioned and delicious. Their cabbage is spicy and compliments the food. We also had the plantains that were amazingly sweet and mouthwatering. We're going back soon. read more

I'm El Salvadorian, so I've had my fare share of homemade pupusas. Saw this place and decided to try it while in Denverl and let me tell you the food was absolutely authentic and freaking delicious! Definitely coming here. EVERYTIME I'm I'm Denver. TRY IT!! it won't disappoint read more

This place is delicious. I recommend any of their pupusas after trying most of the menu, but especially anything with cheese. I love the asada and queso and you can even add jalapeño if you like. I always get two of them and leave stuffed. I am eating a leftover one as I write this, thankful I ordered too much for dinner last night. (Pupusas reheat beautifully in a skillet.) Their tamals are also delicious. We've gotten the sampler plate before and enjoyed that as well. read more

Pupusas Lover - Parking adventures! - Salvadoran Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Phenomenal pupusas. I got one jalapeño and queso, one frijoles and queso. The jalapeño was my favorite, bright and cheesy without being overwhelmingly spicy. A little of the cheese had leaked out on the griddle, so I got that nice crispy fried cheese experience as well. Served with plenty of tangy, crunchy curtido and sauce. Prices are high but whatever, I'm not making pupusas at home. Lots of options for the vegetarians (probably over half the menu) and vegans as well. Next time I'll probably have one pupusa and a tamal or a combo plate. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! To be fair this is only my second time having Salvadoran food, but I'm hooked! The parking is easy here. The restaurant itself is really cute. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They have some specials which I wish I had tried, but didn't see. Make sure to check the board! I ended up getting the Lover Plate and a few tamales. It's a great way to try a bunch of their different pupusas, which are like a flatbread similar to arepas. LOROCO AND QUESO - Flower and cheese. Very interesting flavors. You can really taste that flower flavor. Highly recommend if you're into rose and flavors like that. REVUELTA - Cheese, beans and pork. Classic. Tastes fantastic. AYOTE AND QUESO - Zucchini and cheese. Not the biggest zucchini fan, but it wasn't too over powering. If you like zucchini this is delicious. POLLO AND QUESO - Chicken and cheese. Simple and tasty! FRIJOLES AND QUESO - Beans and cheese. Great option for vegetarians, and still as delicious as the others. PORK TAMALE - Good, but I would rather eat the pupusas. TAMAL DE ELOTE - Very interesting corn and cheese flavors. Very sweet. If you're looking for something different, this is a good one to try. My favorite part about the pupusas are that they are filled with flavor and it's not too much dough/bread/carb. Great ratio! Can't wait to come back. read more

Pupusas Lover - Salvadoran Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Absolutely amazing! Humble and good Salvadoran food. Pupusas come with three different salsas and they were all good and different. Small dining room with about 6 tables and was perfect temperature for a hot summer day to take shelter and eat good food. Interesting drinks as well, Mexican bottled coke and agua frescas. Very prompt service and very accommodating and we didn't feel judged or rushed. Highly recommend! read more

Very simple place but the pupusas are awesome!! Some of the best I've had in CO. On par with Salvadoran pupusas in NY and that is saying something. I get the revuelta (pork, beans, cheese) and queso. So damn good. read more

Visiting from California - Originally from El Salvador. And honestly Pupusas are way over Priced and not authentic taste . I can still get my true pupusas for $2.50 hand made @ la Flor Blanca In Cali - SUPER DISSAPOINTED read more

The Salvadoreño is the best breakfast in Denver. So delicious. The beans, thick, soft tortillas, queso and amazing hot sauces are incredible. All of the papusas are great. Hearty, filling, tasty. Do not miss this place. read more

Great place, we got several pupusas to go, everyone loved them, even the kids ! Definitely coming back soon

This place is AMAZING! I had never tried pupusas before and my god am I glad we came here. As some reviews said, it was in a tiny strip mall in a bit of a sketchy location, but my theory is that all of the best places are hole in the wall joints. Plus, they did a great job with the inside and I loved all of the Mot-Mot memorabilia. The pupusas themselves were incredibly cheap but super filling and they're served with some sort of shredded cabbage salad that rocked my socks. My only complaint was that it was not a quick meal - it took quite some time for us to get our order and then our bill, but I didn't feel that was enough to knock my review down a whole star (maybe half at most). Overall it was the perfect lunch and such a cool find. With tip, it only cost me $8 for two pupusas (plus the salad) and I was SO full. I already have plans to go back and I'm excited to share this place with others! read more

We ordered the mixed plate to share and everything was amazing. I will definitely be back again!

Love this hidden gem! So incredibly tasty with lovely service. As a gringo, I didn't know about this restaurant. El Salvadoran resident's definitely are in the know. It stays busy and it's obvious why. Really delicious. read more

Pupusas Lover - Salvadoran Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love pupusas. So when I saw this sign I knew it was the place for me. I visited alone and ordered pupusa con loroco-my favorite. That and some fried yucca made for a big lunch. The pupusa was.good, and I enjoyd their house curtido. I love curtis but not all are created equal. Fried yucca was food--crispy fried tubers with a few chunks of fried pork Staff was friendly, kindly explaining Salvadorean food and how each dish is traditionally eaten. I'm no stranger to the cuisine, but I was happy to hear his recommendations. I can't wait to return and explore the menu with a group. read more

So good and yummy. I was visiting from out of town and thought the popusas were delicious. I had not drank cashew juice in a LONG time and this brought lots of sweet memories. read more

The hubs and I love a good papusa. Our nephew lives near here so we decided to bring him here for his first papusa. We ordered the pork and yucca, pineapple agua Fresca and a variety of papusa. The agua Fresca was too sweet for both the hubs and I so we only drank a little bit. My zucchini and loroco papusa were good but the masa lacked in flavor a bit and the cheese didn't ooze out onto the griddle and get crispy which I love. Once I added the cabbage and salsa the flavor profile got more interesting. We all really enjoyed the yucca and the hubs enjoyed his chicken papusa. The employee was really nice and we bought a sweet cheese bread to go which was quite tasty. read more

Only the second time I've had papusas but my visit to Pupusas Lover leaves me wanting to return. I was only looking for a light lunch-chicken and cheese Pupusa with the cabbage/slaw side was delicious. The chicken tamale was just so-so. My dining companion ordered the chicken soup special, which turned out to be a huge bowl of soup along with chicken breast, salad, corn tortillas, etc-ended with leftovers. The service was friendly and helpful. While the restaurant is small we were the only patrons at about 11:40 am on a Wednesday but tables (but not counters) were full by 12:30. Great addition to S. Colorado dining scene. read more

Love this place! Good food and friendly staff!!! The price is very reasonable. The pollo tamal is good too. read more

Pupusas Lover - Salvadoran Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Dios mio!... where have you been all my life? I never knew I was a Pupusas Lover until now. Denver is finally picking up more diversity with the Latin scene. Pupusas Lover has been open for a month. Although the strip mall is on the divey side, the interior of PL is clean, contemporary yet culturally relevant. We came in and the owner greeted us with love... so kind and friendly. She explained the menu and gave recommendations. But I bet everything is great because we tried the mixed platter and it was perfecto! It comes with a savory empanada, a sweet plantain empanada filled with pudding, fried plantain, fried yuca, 2 tamales, 1 pupusa for $18. We had 2 adults, a 7 year old and 2 year old. I didn't get to taste much of the empanada because my son hogged it all. The tamales were fresh... homemade tasting... my son ate most of the chicken one, great balance of flavor, but even the sweet corn is very good, soft & slightly sweet. The sweet empanada tastes like a fluffy dream donut... with creamy goodness inside. The plantain was fried just long enough to be soft but not soggy... and caramelized to perfection. The fried yuca was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (too many places under fry or over fry), the pupusas was soft and chewy with the best ratio of dough to filling... I'm sure they have a secret algorithm that is protected in a safe somewhere. Everyone in the family devoured the platter. Total win. I'm coming back... soon... probably in a couple hours. Hasta luego mi amor. read more

See all

LOVE IT. Each time I've entered this cozy space, the owner has warmly greeted me. The decor and ambience are charming. The food is delicious, and always feels like a treat. I love the jalepeño pupusa. It comes out hot and cheesy with a cool, crunchy curtido on the side. I can't resist the crispy hot yuca frita. Kindness + great food = 5 stars! read more

We went here last night as it had glowing reviews and we'd never had papusas before! This place is tiny and we got here around 6:30 which was key. It was packed on a weds! Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. I think between the 7 of us, we tried almost the whole menu lol. We tried the edible flower (no idea what it was) zucchini, jalapeno, bean, pork, chicken, and spinach, just to name a few. Everything was delicious, even the cabbage condiment! There was nothing left. The hot sauces were good too. No booze here although this would be ideal drunk food. Haha. We all tried some of the drink offerings. I got cashew fruit because I've never seen that in the states. It was super tasty! My husband got some sugar powerhouse that tasted like unset orange jello lol. I also tried the fried plantain empanadas which were super good! Great local joint with foreign flair! read more

Very small. Not enough seating. However, Here's the story. I go here, in my third trimester of pregnancy, with my one year old also, and husband. All I'm going to Say is discriminatory behavior. read more

Sadly the food was cold when I picked it up and I was right on time. They may not be as familiar with Yelp order system and must not have sent the notification. Aside from this all the food was great (after warming) read more

Great food, friendly staff, tons of vegan options. Serving sizes are huge I got three pupusas and could barely finish them. Highly recommend this place! read more
