    Queso con loroco and revuelta pupusas
    Melissa C.

    These are the most authentic pupusas you will find. A lot of the pupuseria in Chicago are either Guatemalan pupusas or who ever makes them they are beyond thick. Real Salvadoran pupusas should be thin like theirs. I had two of the masa revueltas and 1 of the rice masa queso con loroco. Absolutely delicious, the curtido and sala went perfect with the pupusas. I also had the plantain with sweet cream soooo good. A must try and I will be back again.

    It was my first visit here, and I will certainly return to try other items on the menu. I ordered chicken and cheese pupusas and a bean, cheese, and jalapeño pupusa, chips, guacamole, and Jarritos. My order was for carry-out, and I waited maybe 20 minutes for the food. The entire time I waited, I could hear the sound of hands slapping out the masa for the dishes, which made me excited to know that our food would be fresh and "hand made" to order. The small dining room was lively with conversation and packed inside on an early Friday night. The only thing I found unusual and unappetizing was the side of cabbage/coleslaw packed into a ziploc bag with our to-go order. I wished it would have been in a plastic cup or container, as it was leaking, so we really didn't eat that. I am sure eating the food at the restaurant makes for a fresher presentation. The pupusas were hot, cheesy, thick, and tasty. I've had these in other states, and Pupuseria Chero rivals others for authentic taste and freshness. Parking can be a challenge in the small lot at this strip mall, but it's well worth a visit to give them a try.

    We ordered the guacamole and chips as an appetizer, simply delicious. The pupusa with cheese reminds me of a Colombian arepa, so good. Wonderful service and ambience. Super clean. I odres a steak burrito, it was tasty, loved the fresh tomatoes.

    This is a storefront restaurant. When we walked in there was music playing in the background, it was the perfect volume. There were only a couple of tables open, the restaurant was crowded which is always a great sign. We sat at the first table and were greeted right away with menus and we asked for water cups and got them right away. (They kept our water cups full during our entire lunch which we loved.) I ordered the steak nachos for my meal and they were piled high and so delicious, the only thing that would have made them even better would be some lime but they were great as is! My husband ordered the Chicken Guisado and loved it! He is not a fan of chicken on the bone or dark meat but he ate it all and practically licked the plate clean! If you are looking for something different you have to come here and give this place a try! Check out the menu they even have kids portions. My husband used the restroom and said it was nice and clean! We will be back again for sure and highly recommend you give this place a try!

    1 piece of avocado in the center

    Pupusas are good but overpriced, $4 for one?? I ordered for the first time today as a birthday meal and I was disappointed. Firstly their delivery is DoorDash but you can't order off DoorDash...?? Then my milanesa torta had a small piece of chicken it covered half the bread and one small piece of avocado in the middle lol. No napkins and no fork. My horchata was watery even tho I asked for no ice..?? If you're reading this I need a partial refund or something. 32$ is a lot and you don't provide napkins a fork.

    Superior quality food ! Strongly recommend this family restaurant if you want great latin flavor food and good customer service

    Well darn if that isn't pretty great! I have never had Salvadoran food before and my daughter asked what it was like. And my ignorant self told my inexeprienced daughter that the foods were going to be similar to Mexican food, but different. And it is sort of... But that doesn't do it justice. First I have to mention the carne guisada. It is a slow cooked beef in spices, served with rice, beans, a vinegar based cole-slaw and it is worth the visit. It is like a home cooked meal. The pupusas are fantastic. The carmelization on the outside is so tasty, and we tried the zucchini and loroco flower and with the cheese in them, soooo good. The fried elote tamal with the sauce is addictive. The chicken tamal was better than most Mexican versions I have had. The corn meal was so smooth. Our server was so friendly and helpful and the place is clean and well lit. Bright colors make it festive. Clean bathrooms. A very well run establishment. And it is 8:37, barely 25 minutes until close and they are getting busy! Well done!

    Horchata Salvadorena
    Michelle F.

    Pupuseria Cheros is a very unique casual place offering Salvadoran food that is authentically handmade fresh and very delicious! The Salvadoran Horchata is a flavored rice drink that is both refreshing and compliments the meal. Subtle taste of cinnamon but doesn't overpower the drink. It went exceptionally well with the entree! The pupusa's were served piping hot and tasted amazing. I tried the Loroco y queso (flower buds & cheese) and the pollo y queso (chicken & cheese). The loroco buds have a flavor of artichoke meets asparagus and very light. The seasoned chicken was generously portioned with a nice amount of cheese inside the corn (masa) flour mixture. The Pupusa's are all hand made to order, very economical and so delicious! The fresh made slaw was a nice compliment along side the salsa's. It cleanses your palate as you're eating. The also offer many breakfast items and deserts too! It's a cute little place and nicely decorated. They have table seating with menus. It's definitely a place I'll come back to and try more items!

    Pupusa revueltas, pupusa de frijoles- queso- y locor , and pupusa de queso y jalapeño.

    Great service and even better food. The Pupusas are not the normal small size but big and delicious. 2 are enough for one person. Would highly recommend this place.

    Never had the food. The base entrees are pretty bland but you get to add flavor through sauces and the vinegar based Cole slaws. The chicken and cheese pupusa was my fave.

    I passed by today for the first time ... and I must say ... this place is legit !!!! The cheese pupusa and chicken pupusa were amazing !!! And the price is just right !! And the sizes of the pupusa were big. The repollo (how we Nicaraguans call it) was just like my mom makes it at home. loved it !! They gained a new customer !!!!!!! Can't wait to try more things from here ... The staff was so nice and pleasant ... will be back for sure .

    Pupuseria Cheros has been open for one month and it is a fantastic addition to the Schaumburg dining scene. It's located in a strip mall on Higgins near the corner of Plum Grove Road. We drove passed it last night and decided to give it a try today. WOW ! Cute decor and friendly helpful service. We tried a chicken (only) pupusa, chicken and cheese, bean cheese and jalapeños, a jalapeño and cheese and sides of rice and beans. Our favorite was the jalapeño and cheese but ALL were delicious. Fresh tender crust with tasty fillings made even better by the side of pickled cabbage and sauces. We washed it all down with Jarritos although there are other soft drink choices. Pupusas are Salvadoran but there are plenty of your favorite Mexican choices to choose from if you should be craving tacos or burritos. This place is definitely a win and we will be back again soon. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. 5 stars are well deserved.

Their menu is large with many choices to consider. We started with a Boquita Compuesta which included a delicous assortment taquitos, tostaditas and mini-tacos as well as and order of Tortitas de Papa, three incredibly tasty Guatemalan style potato croquettes. Our main courses consisted of two orders of the Churrasco Guatelmalteco which consisted of an 8 oz. Rib Eye Steak, Grilled Green Onion, Guacamole, Fried Black Beans, Rice, and Longaniza an order of Pepian Mayan chicken stew with potatoes, green beans and imported Guatemalan spices with a side of rice and tortillas and lat but not least an order of Chuletas which consisted of two pork chops prepared in a white wine and onions, served with a side of fried sweet plantain, rice and beans. For dessert, we shared an order of the Mollete Guatemalan style bread pudding glazed with a sweet, light caramel sauce. The servers were very friendly and accomodating allowing us to enjoy an unrushed dinner. To top it off, the food and beverage prices were very reasonable.
