Restaurante Mi Salvador - Papusas with Rice & Beans - Salvadoran Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Very good food , fast and friendly staff, restaurant is very clean and love the decor

my family and I have been coming here since I could remember and while the food is good (if they even serve you) I have to say the customer service has not been good (if they even assist you at all) my husband and I sat down and got our menus around 5 minutes after.. we then did not get our order taken.. AT ALL we sat there for almost 30 minutes and there was only one other customer in the entire restaurant so "busy" was not even an excuse. our waiter was literally just watching TV.. we decided to just get up and leave (we never experienced such horrible customer service ever) read more

This Gem hole in the wall restaurant is amazing. The pupusa's are incredibly delicious. The atmosphere is , "Hole in the Wall". But the food and price you will like a lot. It's off Railroad in the back of Walgreens Store. The fried bananas is one of the best I've had. We do travel quite a bit a bit and have experienced many restaurants. Do go here, be in your casual clothing but do bring your empty stomach and enjoy!!! read more

Amazing Pupusas!!!!! My family and I love all the Salvadorian food they serve in Restaurante Mi Salvador. Very traditional and taste like home made food. read more

Placed an ordered with a few other coworkers for my boss's birthday. I have never eaten here and was told that their food was good. I ordered simple pupusas of bean and cheese only. I have had pupusas many times at many different establishments and these were the worst. They were minimally filled, greasy, and what they were filled with had no flavor. The pickled cabbage was okay, but could have been better in terms of flavor. The sauce was probably the best tasting item in the dish. It was flavorful and had some spice to it. read more

Me and pupusas got a thing goin' on... And it's much too strong... To let it go nowwwww. Which is why an authentic Salvadoran restaurant is as prized as a golden goblet in my book, and the second my sister recommended this spot I zipped, whipped and glided like Usher in the "U Don't Have to Call" music video on over to check out the grub-a-dub. Mi Salvador definitely did not disappoint, serving up steaming hot pupusas alongside the staple curtido (the traditional delicious spicy cabbage slaw mixture) and tomato-based salsa roja sauce. The customer service here is great and the lovely women who assist whenever I call my order in are helpful and polite. "It'll be ready in 20 minutes" actually means it'll be ready in twenty minutes, no funny business, no shady unreliability. The restaurant can get busy with families and solo dolo diners trying to get their fix, so if you're fiending for a to-go fixin' I definitely suggest calling in so you don't have to wait. Since discovering this place a mere two weeks ago I've probably made more trips than I'm proud to divulge, but every visit has been more than worth it. They also stock a few Salvadoran food items and sweet treats, so look around and find something to grab for the fam. Or just grub and grab everything for yourself. I won't tell. read more

After all the ranting and raving, it was finally my turn. I didn't know for a while that "Pupusas" wasn't a "Mexican" dish, but an "El Salvadorian" dish. But when you think about most of the things we eat now in days, non of what we think is what it seems. "Mi Salvador" is pretty well known in my neck of the woods, and people on and off "Yelp" rave about what they have to offer. Some have even gone as far as to say that this establishment is the #1 spot for authentic food. I'm still new I guess to "El Salvadorian" food, a lot that I though I knew..I guess I don't. Here is what I did learn though.... Thursday July 26, 2018 Location: Mi Salvador Pittsburg, Ca People: 1 Adult Story: Well it was the calm before the storm for me, if you've read my previous reviews....you'll know why. I was hungry and I wanted to try somewhere I hadn't had before. I'm all about discovering and seeing what's new in my "hood" I been saying for a while to people that I needed to try "Mi Salvador", and lucky for me I was in the mood for "Pupusas" so after reading some reviews and looking at the menu on "Yelp" I decided to head on over and see what waz up. Service/Hospitality: It wasn't busy when I entered, but I was still greeted by a worker. The togo menu was in spanish and the worker helped me translate it. I told the worker (A lady) I had come here for the "Pupusas" and she helped me out by describing the different types to me. She was pleasant the whole time and I accomplished what I had come in for thanks to her. I would say this was a pretty good first impression and the service was pretty good. I was even offered some water while I sat and waited for my food, that's a pretty good touch. Food/Cleanliness: The establishment was pretty clean and very tidy, it wasn't busy so I feel that also contributed to the overall appearance. I went to the restroom here and it was very clean. Now on to the important stuff you in the "Yelpire" really want to know about.."The Food". I went with 5 "Pupusas", 4 of them being a different type. 1 Jalapeno and Cheese $$3.00 1 Bean and Cheese $2.75 2 Shrimp and Cheese $6.00 ($3.00 each) 1 Combo Pupusa (Pork/Chicharron, Cheese, Refried Beans) $2.75 Out of all the "Pupusas" the combo one was my favorite. All of them had a nice amount of filling and were super hot and fresh as I did wait the 25 min for them to be made. The Shrimp and Cheese ones were my least fave honestly out of what I ordered. They used those little baby shrimp in these ones and they didn't really mesh well with the overall dish. The bean and cheese, jalapeno and cheese both were good and simple. The combo pupusa or "Pupusa Reveuelta" was the perfect balance and honestly, I think what would maybe my go to at this establishment for my "Pupusa" needs. I feel like the prices are reasonable for what you're getting, I really would step out on a limb and say these are some of the best i've had in a while. Overall: I think "Mi Salvador" is the real deal, I look forward to trying more of what they have have to offer. As far as the getting my "Pupusa" fix, this now will be my go to place, lucky for me it isn't too far from home. I would recommend this place to anyone, if you like what I like then you wouldn't be disappointed here. This place has lived up to the hype and praise it gets on "Yelp" and the word of mouth rants and raves I've heard from various sources. So, if you come here for the "Pupusas" I warn you of the habit that may be forming. read more

Recently came here with my mother as I live overseas and Salvadorian food is pretty much non-existent where I live so I was dying for some pupusas. No one was there to greet us but as soon as we walked in and sat down, we had someone greet us and gave us the menus. I ordered two pupusas with some fried plantains on the side and my mom got some rice flour pupusas with some milk empanadas. No complaints on the food; it was great! Not as great as my mom's but came pretty close. Plus they have a type of mini-market of a few foods from El Salvador such as several types of snacks, Salvadorian sour cream, cheese, etc. service wasn't terrible but wasn't above and beyond either. It either way, I'd come back here; it was great. read more

Went here twice. The chicken and jalapeño pupasus were good, but both times they ran out card 4 times trying to process the order. We also got some chicken tamales which were really big, but were 90% masa. We got three horchatas and they were really gross. None of us could drink more that a sip. When we dumped them out the cup was full of sludge... read more

Food is alright, I'm giving them 1 star because the wait is ALWAYS HORRIBLE!!!!! You could call in your order in advance and STILL wait half hour for your food! What is the point of ordering in advance. When the waitress finally brought the pupusas, they forgot the curtido, WTH? We were half way done with our food when they brought our DRINKS! EPIC FAIL! ! Half hour to be attended, hour for the food and another half hour for the check. Bottom line, if you come here, be prepared to spend 2 hours minimum. read more

Best pupusa spot in Pittsburg. Pupusas are pretty good in size and they're delicious.

It's hard to find good pupusas, I was told I should go to Pittsburgh to get some and it was the best thing I've done. Being from San Jose there were many pupusa places but nothing that compares to this place. These pupusas are so authentic. My dad who is from El Salvador drives from San Jose to come to this location. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat some amazing pupusas. read more
