I really wanted some Pupusas so it took a while to find a spot. They did not speak English here but I was able to make it work. I waited 15 minutes for my food and it was much heavier than I thought it would be. $8 for 3 pupusas that weigh a ton. I tried the pork and the beans. Both types are good. read more

Service is honestly not the best. You have to come in knowing what you want or you get judgement . They're menu is not large but it does seem to carry a home cook vibe. Also inside is a quick mart of salvadorean goodies. We only got the pupupusas and horchata so I can't speak for everything else but pupusas were pretty basic, nothing memorable. Drinks were good though. read more

Very nice staff. Very clean and orderly kitchen. Some Spanish would be helpful when ordering though we did ok. We had tacos and cheese pupusas which were good. They were served with cabbage slaw. The food is good. Pupusas are a new food for me and I really liked them. I think next time I will try the pork ones. read more

Deliciosas pupusas y buen ambiente. Las meseras y cocineras son muy amables. El curtido está riquísimo. Los tamales igual están de lo mejor. Lugar excelente para un antojito salvadoreño. La agua de horchata bien hecha. Lo único difícil de entender sería lo de pagar al después, cuentan con la honestidad de la gente para que repita lo que comió. A mi me cae bien pero la única preocupación que tendría yo sería que gente no cuente bien. Solo un aviso pero de todas maneras un lugar lindo para un almuerzo. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and found a parking spot in their lot shared with the other businesses in the strip mall. The place has two doors one leading to the dining area and one to the counter where you order. The door to the dining area was blocked off so I went in the other one and ordered at the counter. English was spoken and I was able to get a few questions about the menu answered. My family went and sat on the dining side and I joined them after ordering, grabbing our drinks from the fridge, and sitting down. I noticed other tables ordering from a server and wondered for a second whether the two sides were related. They were indeed and the lady brought my food out in to-go packages because I ordered at the counter. We just opened them there and enjoyed our food. My kids really liked the Pork and Cheese Papusa and I enjoyed the cheese only. There was also a bean and cheese option I did not get, which we will definitely try next time. I also had the steak tacos which were amazing! Wasn't expecting that, but if you are into tacos, this is a great spot. The service was great and everyone was friendly. There were definitely regulars, but altogether a wide variety of people dining there. read more

Si pudiera dejar zero estrellas lo hiciera yo vivo en berkeley lake y puse una orden de pupusas voy las recojo y disque estam cerrado porque no dijieron eso en el telefono par de irresponsables y bagos If i could leave zero stars i would i placed an order i live about 25 minutes away i drive to pick up the order to find the door locked then i call they open the door just to say they are closed. Why the hell wouldnt you say that instead of taking my damn order !?!?! Irresponsible unprofessional and lazyyyy ! 0/10 don't recommend read more

I loved the papusa we got all the kinds for folks that had never had them. I thought they were darn good, and the cabbage salad/slaw was the best I'd ever had for flavor and freshness. We questioned whether we communicated right, it seems to be staffed and frequented by folks from El Salvador. They were friendly and we both tried our best. The menu is small and they are cash only but if you know you want what they have go for it, the prices were fair too. It was clean n they were mopping/cleaning while we were there. read more

Pupuseria Mi Tierra - the interior of a car - Latin American Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

You can find Pupuseria Mi Tierra at 5090 Buford Hwy NE, Ste 102 Doraville, GA 30340 in the Intown Plaza shopping center - this is the same plaza that has Temp Doeloe (check that review), China Hot Pot and Beijing Kabobs. The parking for this plaza is pretty tight but depending on your arrival time you should be able to find a space - might be a good idea to carpool just in case. It's my understanding that a pupuseria is a place that provides snacky-type food and in particular the pupusa - a corn-and-flour think tortilla that's stuffed by various savory and/or cheesy options. This is a particular treat of El Salvadore and is typically accompanied by curtido, and tomato salsa. The pupusas here are particularly good and inexpensive. On this night we visited as part of my Buford Highway Clawr group - we each ordered some pupusas and kept things simple since we weren't familiar with the food. The lady behind the counter was quite accommodating and good about answering our questions and taking recommendations. I like this quite a bit. read more

Pupuseria Mi Tierra is a small, authentic Salvadoran restaurant located in Intown Plaza, a two-story shopping strip on Buford Highway. The restaurant is sandwiched between popular 8° Fahrenheit Ice Cream and Beijing Kabobs. In Spanish, "mi tierra" means "my land." A pupuseria sells pupusas which are thick corn tortillas filled with various ingredients like beans, cheese, and pork. Pupusas are considered to be the national dish of El Salvador. You can find pupusas up and down Buford Highway at businesses like 5 de Mayo Mexican Restaurant and Pupuseria, La Salvadorenita Pupuseria y Taqueria, and Rincon Latino. Pupuseria Mi Tierra is one of the newer pupuserias to open on Buford Highway (I believe it opened in 2015). Generally, all of the pupusas I've had in Atlanta have been good including at this shop. The interior is small. The dining room has small tables that can seat, in total, about 20 customers comfortably. There's no outdoor seating. You order and pay upfront at the counter. The business doesn't have much decor save for some colored Christmas lights and Christian (Catholic?) paintings of Jesus, Mary, and others. There are a couple agua frescas ("cool waters") churning at the counter. During our visit, they contained horchata (cinnamon rice drink) and what looked like tamarindo (tamarind drink). There was also a small baked goods display case on the counter, but it was empty. Behind the counter are a fridge with bottled soda and water and a coffee maker. There's a menu above the counter. When we visited, the menu had no pricing. I had to ask the lady at the register what the prices were for individual items. The menu does have helpful pictures. The menu had 12 items listed in Spanish with no English translations. Below are the 12 items with their spellings and my translations: * Bisteck de Res - beef steak * Caldo de Pata - Salvadoran cow feet soup * Carne Gisada - beef stew * Mojarra Frita - fried whole tilapia * Pakaya Forrada - date palms * Pupusas (queso, chicharon, revuelta) - cheese, fried pork rinds, combo/mix * Tacos * Platanos con Crema - plantains with cream sauce * Desayunos - breakfast * Caldo de Res - beef soup * Tamales - masa steamed in a banana leaves * Tamalito de Elote - Central American corn cake I asked how much the pupusas were and was told they were $6 for 3 pupusas. I ordered a plate of pupusas revueltas (pupusas filled with beans, cheese, and pork), platanos con crema, and tamales for $10. I asked for two tap waters (not the bottled Dasani water in the fridge) and was charged $2 for two foam cups with water. After we were seated, some of my friends asked for water served the same way and they weren't charged. One of my friends ordered desayunos and a water and was charged $7. We're assuming the breakfast plate was $6 and the water was $1. Note: This is a cash only business. If dining in, all food is served on/in disposable foam plates and cups. Takeout appears to be a popular option. During our lunch visit, I noticed several folks coming in and ordering takeout. The desayunos plate was simple and basic, consisting of scrambled eggs, fried plantains (3 pieces), beans with a bit of cream sauce, and steaming hot, fresh corn tortillas wrapped in foil. The pupusas took the longest to make, I assume because they were made fresh. On my way out of the restroom, I glanced inside the kitchen and saw three ladies preparing what I think were pupusas by hand. The pupusas were served in a foil-lined basket. They were warm and had a nice, appetizing, doughy consistency. The Salvadoran chicharron that is used for pupusas is different from the fried pork belly or fried pork rinds you typically find when ordering chicharron elsewhere. It's finer, thinner, and cooked into the melted cheese and refried beans of the pupusas revueltas. The pupusas were served with the traditional side of curtido which is a spicy coleslaw made with cabbage, carrots, pepper, and other ingredients. Adding curtido and a sauce/salsa to your pupusas is a must. At our table, we had a few house salsas (two reds and a green) plus Picamas Salsa Brava (green) and Valentina Salsa Picante (red). I recommend the house sauces, but try them all. I liked the plantanos con crema though they were far from the tastiest fried plantains (maduros) I've had. Our order came with 6 pieces which were equivalent to maybe about 1 or 2 whole plantains. They were ripe and mildly sweet. The cream sauce was tasty. It looked like it was squeezed out of a bottle. I'm not exactly sure what kind of cream it was, but it tasted like sour cream. I've heard/read this combo is eaten with sugar or cinnamon, but there was none here. The tamale was OK. Again, not the best I've had, but not bad either. Mi Tierra's version is more of a short, compact tamale as opposed to the longer, more rectangular version that is more commonly seen. Our tamale was served unwrapped and contained chicken. I felt that the corn and chicken could have had more flavor. read more

From the instant you step in here it's like being in Central America !!! the pupusas are fantastic!!! Everything is home made on the spot. So be ready to wait a little. The wait is totally worth it. Try the hot sauces too. Very flavorful and not too spicy. I would definitively come back and try more menu items. Service was very pleasant and friendly. read more

Pupusas that remind me of my grandmother and Aunt! The only real difference is with the curtido (cabbage type slaw) which is a little spicier than my wife and I are used to. I liked the spice, but my wife is a little weaker on spice. Curtido is fairly easy to make so might just make some at home with less spice. I might attempt to ask for less spice next time, but my Spanish is weak. (Curtido no picante por favor?) I am just soooo happy that I can get some quality pupusas outside my aunt and grandmas house back in Cali. I'll get them to move out here yet!( ) Anyway, the downsides: 1. Definitely need some Spanish skills. I kinda got by with brute force, but less comfortable. 2. Cash Only - This place is inexpensive so you don't need to carry an entire wad with you. $6 for 3 Pupusas (pork, cheese, and/or beans your choice) with Curtido and Salsa. read more

Food is sooo amazing but they don't have an ATM. That would be the only down side. Pupusas, especially the cheese ones are soo yummy. Perfectly cooked with the crispy cheese on the outside layer gives it the best flavor. read more

This is a small place with a limited menu. The pupusa was delicious. I wanted to try the tamale but they didn't have them today. They do take credit card but they don't speak English. Service was good and environment felt clean. Plenty of happy customers around. read more

Ordered the mixed pupusa's for carry out. The flavor was mediocre and the tortillas did not have much pork/beans/cheese in them. The slaw also did not seem fresh and the red hot sauce was not very good either. I don't recommend this place. Also keep in mind it's cash only. read more

I came for the first time to this place. The personal don't guide you where to sit. I had to ask where or how to order to eat they looked at each other and in a mood one of them said " I can take your order" so I order and then she not even asked if I wanted to something to drink. I thought that when I sit she will come over and ask if we needed anything else but that didn't happen I had to yell at her to serve me something to drink we started eating and still not drink. So I honestly do not recommend this place. Sorry read more

Was on Buford Highway and thought why not get some pupusas. Googled pupuserias nearby and found this place. They have a very limited menu and you will have to wait at least 20min for your food but the staff is super friendly. Honestly, they did not follow any Covid-19 safety protocols but the staff was absolutely just friendly so they got 3 stars. We ordered the tamale and although it was mushy and didn't have many veggies like it's supposed to, it was tasty. The tacos were ok but had a lot of fat. The pupusas are 3 out of 5 stars. Small, warm and ok tasting but not great. I haven't found a great pupuseria in Atlanta so my search is still on! Not sure if I would return but if I do, again the women that worked there were lovely and kind so that would be the incentive. Also, although the menu only shows they have pupusas with cheese or chicharrón or mixed, they also serve pupusas with loroco, which is not on the menu. read more

This is a authentic Salvadoran restaurant tucked in a small plaza that is predominantly Asian businesses. Its interior is casual and minimally decorated. Ordering can be challenging because the menu is displayed on a wall-mounted sign that only shows the name of the dishes, in Spanish and without any description. Like many authentic Latin American restaurants, the staff speaks only basic English and was not able to describe some of the dishes n English. We ordered the following: Pupusa, tamale, and pakaya forrada. They offer three kinds of pupusa - queso, chicharon, and revuelta (cheese, pork, and mixed), and come with the usual pickled cabbage and hot sauce. The pupusa are tasty, but not the best I've had. The pickled cabbage is different from other pupuseria that it was spicy (quite spicy actually) and less acidic. The tamale is tasty as well, and has a large chunk of meat (I believe t is chicken) in the center. The texture is much softer than that of Mexican tamale. In fact it is so soft, it's borderline mushy. Pakaya forrada is definitely a unique dish. pakaya (aka pacaya) is the flower of a type of palm tree. In this dish, the pakaya is deep fried, and then cooked in a delicious sauce. It comes with salad, rice, and fresh corn tortilla. The flavor and texture are quite interesting. Its texture is meaty but tender. Its flavor can be off putting because it's somewhat bitter - think Chinese bitter melon, then minus 50% of bitterness. However the pacaya is doused with tht delicious red sauce that pairs well with the hot fresh tortilla. The salad and rice....well, it's just raw vegetable and plain white rice. read more

My experience here was less than average. I'm not sure what the usual wait time is but we got our food about 35 minutes after ordering. We got 2 chicaron pupuserias and 1 queso each. It was just okay in my opinion and because of the wait time I'm not sure it's worth it read more

Not happy with my pupusas. I took mine to go. It looked authentic from the outside. As I'm walking in I was thinking these are going to be amazing. Well no, they were not. I ordered 3 pupusas revueltas so I expected a lot of chicarron, queso y frijoles. That was not the case. All my pupusas tasted like were masa and frijoles. Super upset about that. I don't think I will be back. read more

I had tried a pupuas years ago by my friends grandmother(who is Salvadorian) and never forgot how good it was . I recently tried this place and the guy up front was very rude.

If anyone has any recommendations for pupusas let me know . read more
