My wife is Salvadorean and absolutely loves and craves pupusas from time to time. When it is that…read moretime, this is the place to go. Their pupusas are cheap and delicious and usually keep good if you don't finish them in one sitting. The reason for the loss of a star is the service. The lady handling to go orders has no customer service skills. She stands there, and stares at you while you make your order. She doesn't try to engage and seems like she hates being there. The phones take a while to answer or they don't answer at all. The hours are also very short, with days closing at 7pm. The interior could be clean, but overall is decent enough and doesn't instill any ideas of being dirty. Some restaurants around this area are much less well kept than here! The little mini-market has plenty of little Salvadorean and Honduran treats! They have services to send money back home, a staple you'd see in any Central American store. Overall a great little restaurant, but it could be a little nicer and more welcoming, but delicious food makes up for it.

I cannot say that I am not disappointed. I was excited to visit this restaurant with the…read moreexpectation to have some flavorful food that I am familiar with. Unfortunately the food fell short and the service didn't meet the mark. The most surprising thing was how unseasoned the food was. The pork chop was basically the only item that popped with some flavor from seasoning. Everything tastes as if it was just cooked or boiled with in plain water with no seasoning or spices added. The pupusas were extremely bland. The service missed the mark as well. Staff seemed as if they really didn't want you to be there. And there was absolutely no urgency for anything. Dishes came out periodically with having to ask for an update on them. It seems like it could be a lively place but as I looked around most of the patrons were just waiting around the same for their food. Maybe the kitchen staff was having a bad day. Either way I was disappointed because I really had been looking forward to coming to this place but not sure if I'd be back anytime soon. Also the parking situation was a bit hectic.

Visited this place for the first time. Walked in and was quickly greeted by the man, who was the…read moremanager. He sat us down and asked if it was our first time? We said yes and he took his time to explain the menu and recommended a few dishes. We ordered the Pupusas special 1 and a small pepperoni & cheese pizza with drinks (see photos). I really enjoyed the pizza! It had a great taste and the cheese was melted just right! Each bite, would stretch the cheese and would have to cut it with my other hand! Now, that's how a great pizza is supposed to do. Server was attentive, informative, nice, and familiar with the menu. Next time, I'm in the area, I will sure stop again!

The service was fantastic…read more Our waitress Kiara was kind and attentive throughout the meal, making sure we had everything we needed. The manager was also friendly and welcoming, stopping by to check in on us. The food itself was exceptional and truly authentic. Everything was cooked really well and had that genuine, homemade quality you look for in Latin cuisine. The ambiance was very nice and classy, and the music was great, adding to the overall experience. We're visiting from San Diego, and this was a highlight of our trip so far. We already plan on coming back before we head home!

Pupusas by far was the Golden Nugget at this restaurant. I only ordered two not knowing what to…read moreexpect but they were pretty good. And fresh pressed light golden with a smidge of crunch. I will be back to get more pupusas. Many tacos I ordered three fajita beef and three asada. By far fajitas were way better. The asada had an earthy flavor needing more seasoning however the beef fajitas or excellent. Spanish speaking, playing Spanish Christian music which was pleasant and relaxing. If they serve pupusas on the north side of San Antonio they would do fabulous. I'll be back when in town. I look forward to it

Many coworkers told me about this place as our assignment is in the building behind this spot…read more Finally stopped in here for lunch and left quite satisfied. While a torta is what people recommended, my mind immediately went to tacos when I saw that option. As you all probably know with me, I'm a sucker for any dish that has the word taco in it. Pivoting to those, I decided on a trio of the Taco Chilango (w/ carnitas), the pastor taco, and the taco gringa. These concoctions are out of this world with the combination of ingredients, tenderness and flavors of the meats, and the consistency of the warm tortilla. The crema on top of these is the perfect final touch. After devouring these, I can only imagine what the torta tastes like! Definitely next time! You'll find this spot when you hear some smooth mexican music blaring combined with the smell of chorizo/carnitas/tortillas emulating from this small shack. I hope to have another assignment near here so I can come back to this spot!

My overall experiences with "triple D" locations is negative. They RARELY blow me away. As a matter of fact, I can probably count on one hand the times I've been impressed. Having said that: This. Place. Is. LEGIT. I'm telling you now - you will not be disappointed if you go a little bit out of your way to try it. This was soooo close to 5-stars, and those reviews don't come easy from me. We had nachos and Al pastor tacos. Everything was fantastic! Neat little joint. Neat little outdoor area. I felt the price was right. My only "negative": location. This place is right by the airport...so although my wife and I had beautiful weather and temperatures to sit outside, airliners made for seriously loud distractions. I kinda felt service was a tad "chilly", but giving the benefit of the doubt here because we walked in at 8:20p when they close at 9p. She was not rude; she was just not overly nice or chatty, which we definitely are. I'm a big fan. Will definitely go back.

This pupuseria is next to a tire shop. This is not a restaurant, but a food truck…read more My mother-in-law and wife were craving pupusas, but being new to San Antonio, we did not know the in and outs of pupuserias and so we decided on Pupusas Machado. When we arrived, we expected a restaurant, but found a food truck. Sadly, this is only to go as there is no seating to eat there. The pupusas were a lot smaller than we hard originally expected coming from California and having a regular spot that always gave us oversized pupusas. But don't let the small size fool you, the recipe they had was awesome! Their curtido (pickled salad) was arguably the best I've had yet! The hours are indeed weird, as it opens from 6pm to 1am. There is not really a parking spot while waiting for the food, but you can park in front of the food truck/cart. During the earlier times, this can be a busy street, so be mindful as you may miss the entrance. I would suggest calling to place an order, as larger orders may take longer to cook. This is for sure our go to pupuseria!
