It's a food truck parked on the street near the corner of the shopping center nearby. Parking was pretty easy on the street or in the nearby shopping center. Don't expect an area to eat or tables unless you're gonna walk down to the shopping center or take it to go as most people do. The staff was very friendly and full of smiles, and I was able to order with my broken Spanish. Food: I wanted to try a variety of pupusas so got the Revueltas, spinach with cheese, and lorocco with cheese. All were very tasty and I would love to try the rest of the menu as well. My favorite by far is the pupusa Revueltas. This is as close to authentic Salvadoran you can get until you try the local cheeses in El Salvador.

Saw the great reviews and knew I would have to swing on by to satiate my craving for authentic…read morepupusas, since I was driving by anyway. Good decision. I ordered 4, all different, plus 3 pastor tacos. After I placed the order, he told me it would be about 15 minutes, great sign since it meant they would be freshly made. The pupusas were all $4 each and simply delicious. Loved the flavor of them and the curtido. I sent out a whatsapp to the family to have them all drop by to try these. Far better than most places around here that I've tried.

I was too hungry to take a picture, but honestly this place is not even worth it. I'm surprised…read morethis place has good ratings because this place was not it. I got the sabor tecleño and the pupusa was just dripping in oil from the inside, could be the cheese, but they were not the best. The pastelito filling was not good, no flavor whatsoever. The only good thing on the plate was the tamal frito and the platanos frito. Oh also the horchata was good so I'll give them that. Also service is slow, they weren't even busy and it took them a while to bring out the drinks and food and on top I had to wait for the waiter to bring out utensils. Definitely not a place I would come back there's better places out there.

We were craving for yummy Pupusas so we drive there to San Mateo from San Francisco! We have been here before..and this place NEVER DISAPPOINT! Upon reading other comments on Yelp..it's a hit or miss for some people and I get it! It's your personal opinion..well respected! :) As for my experience today..from going inside to being serviced by two awesome staff there like Saul and Yesenia was very pleasant to us! :)) We appreciated great customer service and it makes a big difference when you're greeted with love and smiles!!! The people who work there are very nice hard workers! Thank you guys!! :)) We noticed a lot of people eating there! It was a pretty full house today which is a great sign for us and for them I'm sure! Saul took our orders! My honey got the Combo 2 Pupusas..one cheese(that one was actually ordered for me for later!) I got the 2 Pupusas..chicken and pork with yummy rice and refried beans!! Both were delicious but the pork was more flavorful to me! Love..love the Cabbage slaw and red sauce! I really glad it wasn't spicy too! Lol!! :} We had our own drinks coz we're trying not to drink too much sodas! Everything was sooo GOOD! It was a perfect meal and being full with happy tummies feels GREAT!!! Overall..try this place..Support this establishment! Especially a family owned restaurant! I'm certain Mr. Oscar Chavez the General Manager their Awesone son Saul will appreciate your kind business!! I've included the business card and our fabulous food we had today! Thank you again! Hope to visit you All soon!!! ;}

Saul always provides great customer service and makes really good Micheladas. The pupusas still taste great every time I go and I highly recommend. They serve Breakfast, Mexican food, Salvadoran food, and Seafood. I want to try other foods, but I just really enjoy their pupusas. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Most recently, I got their super al pastor burrito, and it definitely hit the spot. The al pastor was flavorful with a nice balance of savory and slightly sweet, and they didn't skimp on the portions. Everything was well-packed, and the ingredients came together nicely without getting soggy halfway through. I've also tried their carne asada in the past, which was good as well. Tender and well seasoned, though not the most standout I've had in the area. Still, definitely satisfying and consistent. Service is quick and straightforward, and the vibe is your typical no frills taqueria. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Overall, a dependable go-to for burritos in San Mateo. Not mind blowing, but solid enough that I keep coming back.

It literally makes zero sense, I don't know what else to say, assumed it was a mistake but they were charging $24 for burritos tonight, that's just genuinely ridiculous and so greedy.

I usually order Pozole, but that dish is only during the winter time. So I ordered a cup of tortilla soup! The chicken was fresh and delicious, and the broth was so good I drank it all. The salsa trio is always my favorite appetizer because of the spicy mango salsa! I finish it every time. I also got the Plátanos cubanos, but I got the toppings on the side so I could enjoy their plantains by themselves. As an appetizer, snack, meal, or dessert, plantains are the best. I ordered a side of rice with my steak tacos too, and I have to say this rice is the most similar to the type my mom makes at home. Not too tomatoey, but perfectly moist and tasty. I opted out of getting a cocktail today, so I got a mocktail. I was craving agua de jamaica, which they didn't directly have, but this "zero proof" cocktail hit the spot ;) As for the steak tacos, the steak was a little too chewy for my liking, but that's because I usually get my steak well done (I know, don't judge). Thank you Milagros for always being the best spot for a comforting meal!

The biggest disappointment however was when I looked at my receipt. In addition to taxes and tipping, I was another charged 3.5% for "state mandate." I inquired and was told that since the restaurant has to provide medical insurance, their employees they charge customers for that now. It's just so shady that this is not disclosed ahead of time or at least no obvious and it's only if you look at your receipt, do you see you're being charged this additional fee. Word for the wise it is optional despite the mandatory language on the receipt, so I encourage everyone to refuse to pay. You are not the one employing the employees, the employer is.

Either that or they inexplicably used breast meat (and still dried it out). Check out the photo, the meat looks mummified. For a $28 (not including tax or tip) dish, what is that? Another issue, the Arroz con Mariscos (rice with shrimp) came with no rice. I am actually pretty blown away by how badly this takeout meal got botched. I almost never leave negative reviews but this was probably one of the actually bad meals I've received from a restaurant. I'm mad, chef.
