Authentic Salvadorian cuisine. Service and atmosphere: The staff were all nice and friendly. They advised us on the food selection and let us sample a soup before we committed to order full portion. The restaurant was clean. Food and drinks: Tradicional cooking methods and flavours in every dish. Good selection of pupusas with various fillings. The pupusas were well cooke, not greasy and evenly filled with cheese. The yucca was fried perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The soup with tripe was flavoursome and hearty. Ensalada drink was really good too. You can also buy here ready made sweets, cheeses and bottled drinks. Pricing: $$ - definitely worth trying. read more

See all

Waited over 45 minutes for 4 pupusas whenever they said it would be ready in 15-20 minutes, front desk lady got an attitude over me asking for my order and proceeded to ignore me read more

Food is amazing and would come each time. The only thing you have to have the time to wait for it. There will be a long time to wait. So order before you get hungry. read more

Está sabroso pero tienes que ordenar 1 hora antes de llegar , hasta para pedir para llevar , te dicen un tiempo y aún así te hace esperar más , pero vale la pena si no tienes cosas que hacer read more

Siempre dan los órdenes equivocadas y se les llama y que no pueden hacer nada por eso viven cambiando el personal porque no sirven y las cobran como el cliente pide !! Ladrones descarados read more

The service is HORRIBLE... the time it takes to get our food is RIDICULOUS! (30+ minutes!!) The food is EXTREMELY SALTY!! The pupusas were "ok"... but DEFINITELY NOT worth a 30+ minute wait!!! Do not waste your time coming here.... it be better to wait for a table at a place that HAS BETTER SERVICE and WAAAAY better food! In my HONEST opinion... #Garbage We also had to ASK for the cortido (the cabbage stuff... nor sure if I spelled it right!) Like whyyyy would someone have to ASK for it!? I'm sure they won't last long.... at all! read more

Pésimo servicio.. Mi orden se tardaron mucho y no estaba lleno, al final tuve que regresar porque no estaba completa la orden. read more

Me and my family went to try it out for the first time, to cut it short the food and service was HORRIBLE. We ordered panes con pollo and although the chicken was tasty the bread tasted old, then we ordered some pupusas (which took very long) that were pretty much raw, we asked for our money back or for them to at least change the pupusas but they just denied the request. Horrible experience wouldn't recommend going at all. read more

Terrible service. Ordered with 3 days of anticipation and still didn't have order ready. Told to wait for 5 minutes that turned into 20. Customers in and out and we're still waiting. What's the point of ordering ahead. Servicio lento y terrible. Si quiere que lo traten como que si le están haciendo favor y como que si están regalando comida venga acá. No recomiendo. read more

Food is delicious. we buy the pupusas but lately I don't if owners changed but the pupusas are a bit greasier than before. They are still good. read more

We visited Restaurant Y Pupuseria Olocuilta on several occasions. The food here is always delicious. My recommendation as you read this review is to call and place your order because they get super busy. Patience is key when you visit this restaurant. The food is always cooked to perfection. We have enjoyed: - Ensalada de frutas (drink) - Pupusas Mixto - Churrasco If you enjoy Salvadorian food, stop by this location. Parking is limited. Don't forget to call ahead as they make everything to order. read more

We came here to try the pupusas. My husband from Venezuela is now saying that he loves pupusas more than arepas hahaha They are a small hole in the wall They need better ventilation the smoke is a bit much But to experience the food of El Salvador there is nothing better !!! read more

No saben hacer pupusas, compre de arroz y me salieron " literalmente de arroz " no traían nada por dentro más que una miseria, los que sabemos de pupusas saben a lo que me refiero. Espero la administración lea este comentario y hagan algo. 16- octubre 2021 8:45 pm read more

I ordered 2 pupusas and an order of empanadas at 1:08 pm. It is now 1:51 and I'm still waiting. Seen people come in, order, and get there food and leave in this time. This is unacceptable. I'd have already asked for my money back if I'm not also picking up for my co workers. read more

I've eaten many pupusas in my life, never have I eaten a greasier meal than the pupusas here. Yes they are large in size, however, once you cut into them they unleash an ocean of grease. I think I need a stomach pump and some high blood pressure medicine after eating here. read more

Horrible service. Employees are extremely rude. They seem to not want to take your order and it's a very long wait for the food.

This place takes forever to have your food ready. Called and placed an order and they said 45 minutes. I got there right when my food was supposed to be ready and I still waited 30 minutes!!! Their food is good but their waiting time is ridiculous . Last time going to that place! read more

first time here, we have been waiting for an hour. we order pupusas and chicken nuggets, people that came after us got served first. not a good service for the first time. read more

Long wait Like every Pupuseria it takes time to make pupusas these aren't tacos, pupusas take love and time. This place has legit pupusas. We tried the empanadas, chicharon con yucca, rice and regular pupusas everything was good. The drinks were excellent. I live in SW Houston but I will be coming back. read more

PÉSIMO SERVICIO 2 meseras no se dan abasto fácil conté 8 mesas sin atender mas aparte gente que estaba parada esperando para pagar ‍ soy mexicana y la comida si me gusto ahora realmente no se que tan original sea pero de verdad NECESITAN MEJORAR ni me termine las pupusas porque nunca me llevaron el curtido primera y última vez que vamos read more

This shows how bad the service is at this restaurant. The customer service is trash. I asked for a to go order and they included TIP. How can a restaurant charge TIP when it's a take out order. I have always gone to this place and have supported this small family owned restaurant and every time I have gone the pupusa's have been 1.99$ + tax then all of a sudden they are raised to $2.50 and the price isn't changed on the menu?! That's not right. That's not how you treat people during this pandemic everyone is suffering and it's not right to treat customers this way. The lady even tried to deny me service due to the fact that I was asking for a menu that showed the price. Never in my life have I been treated this way and belittle. I was screamed at inside the restaurant by the server. When I got into the car I looked at my receipt and noticed that the price of the pupusa were not changed but TIP was charged. Bad customer service and not a way to steal from someone. This is theft and it's not right to secretly put that extra service of close to 15% when I'm doing a take out order. Not supporting this business anymore. read more

I ordered at 2pm. They told me 35 mins. I come in and to pick up my order and they tell me 20 more mins. I wait and come back in and they said they forgot about my order and they dont have what I wanted/paid for. Horrible service. read more

One of the best places to eat! Food does take forever but thats because everything is made to order! Food is never cold! Be warned the soups take an hour it seems to get to the table! We usually call it in before arriving! read more

Dinky place, sticky floors, bad service. You would think it would be made up for with their food but no it was terrible. They messed a part of my order and then brought the other part out cold. read more

So good! The chicken and cheese pupusas were stuffed with the goods. Also the fried plantains with black beans y crema were a good mix of sweet and salty. Definitely a hidden gem in soho read more

These pupusas go so hard best thing to do is order a head of time just because they take awhile to make. They would rather you order ahead of time because it's easier that way your food is done in a good amount of time. Great place! read more

Pupusas here are so good, friend brought me here because I was craving some and I was not disappointed. The wait was a bit longer than expected but food was fresh. read more

I searched yelp for a good Pupuseria restaurant and this one showed good reviews and I was disappointed, the Pupusas was below average, the carne asada plate was not ok. Not going back. read more

Mixto pupusas are the bomb! Although it's very crowded inside with very little a.c.! And also no parking outside, over all the food is amazing especially their churrasco. read more

La comida es rica, el lugar muy sencillo y aveces hasta sucio como por ejemplo mesas sin limpiar y piso sucio. El servicio es un poco malo, las personas muy poco amables lo cual es lamentable porque los Salvadoreños somos caracterizados por see gente amigables . Seria bueno que por lo menos te saludaran cuando llegan a atenderte y sentirte bienvenido. read more

This place is the bomb.com! I eat here every single time I am in town and sometimes twice if I am here for more then 2 days. The pupusa mixta is so freaking good. read more

We had mixed feelings about trying out something new, especially driving by and seeing how small the location was. Nonetheless we stopped, and to top things off, every table was filled except that there was no food on any table. Despite what we saw, we persevered and sat down. After patiently waiting for like fifteen minutes, food started coming out and boy were we glad we stayed. Please keep in mind Salvadoran food is not like Mexican, spicy is nonexistent and if you need some hotness, they do have tobasco. When my plate arrived (churasco plate) I was really impressed with the flavors, the rice and beans had creole-ish soul type spices that really impressed us. The plate came with a chicken popusa that was the best I have had ever had, and fajita steak with charred chorizo. The fermented cabbage blended well with the richness of the pupusas. We had even joked about leaving the car running in case we had to turn around and walk out, boy were we ever wrong! Do yourself a favor and try this place out, you will not regret it. read more
