Quite frankly, Sal's Pupuseria may be my favorite lunch spot in Idaho Falls. I love pupusas and would frequent different spots in Southern California and Vegas. Sal's Pupuseria is as close as it gets in Idaho Falls. The Loroco Y Queso pupusa is my favorite, no matter where I am. It's basically herbs & cheese but so delicious. The curtido (cabbage) at Sal's is a great addition and well seasoned. The carne asada taco was good. It was flavorful and bigger than your average street taco. However, it was pretty greasy. Use several napkins and then wash your hands right after type of greasy...but that's where the flavors at! Lol. Prices are slightly higher than the other places I'm accustomed to. However, my options in Idaho Falls for Salvadorian comfort food are limited so I'll take what I can get. Everything is cooked when you order it so be prepared to wait for a bit or call ahead. There were probably 3-4 people ahead of me during lunch hour and I waited close to 30 minutes for my food. The gentleman who works the counter isn't overly friendly but I understand that not everyone's personality is the same as mine. He was nice enough that I didn't feel uncomfortable. Overall, Sal's Pupuseria is a great little spot to grab a bite. read more

The food here was a little different than I am used to, but it tasted really great. Normally when we order pupusas revueltas elsewhere they contain beans, but here it's just just chicharron and cheese. They are a good size and very cheesy. The tables outside of this truck have shade and are big enough to accommodate a party of 12, but they are comically high. Sitting on the bench, my food was about eye level, and my kids had to stand. I'd recommend grabbing it and going somewhere else to eat. read more

They moved! NEW ADDRESS: 465 River Parkway, Idaho Falls, Idaho They are a Food Cart, located at the end of the business shared parking lot. Plenty of space with picnic tables if you wish to eat outside of your car. Service was great, expect to wait a little bit, while they make your freshly made pupusas. We ordered chicken/cheese and pork/cheese/bean. I preferred the pork/cheese/bean. Hope you enjoy. read more

Sal's Pupuseria - Pupusas with the cabbage slaw, & sauce, a must have. - Food Trucks Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Good Salvadorian food. They also have a selection of Mexican dishes (and some dishes from El Salvador that have the same name as Mexican dishes but are part of Salvadorian cuisine and get a Salvadorian twist). We had pupusas, tamales (different than the Mexican variety), and plátanos con crema y frijoles. All good. If you've never had Salvadorian food, try the pupusas first. They are a stuffed corn griddle cake, with some similarities to the Colombian and Venezuelan arepas (but not the same thing). Not sure what they'll do in the winter, but go there now, Idaho Falls. read more

Stopped by for a quick first-timer bite and was impressed with their offerings. I ordered a adobada taco with a loroco and queso pupusa, which were all very tasty. The order took a little bit so be patient with the small wait because it'll be worth it. Also, please note that they have moved off Broadway and closer to the river between Snow Eagle and the West Bank Hotel. Look for the dark blue trailer. Grab your order to go, cross the street, and sit on the grass or a picnic table and enjoy your meal. read more

Great pupusas! The chicharrón con queso is my favorite. My only complaint was that the pupusas de queso were really thick. But, the other ones were perfect!! We also had a really good huarache! read more

Sal's Pupuseria - Truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Soooooo pupusas are just about my all time favorite food. In fact, my friends send me photos of their pupusas every time they eat them cause they literally can't eat this food group (yes it's an entire food group) without thinking of yours truly. So, when I found out there was a pupuseria in IF, I could hardly contain my excitement. Unfortunately, I seemed to have a different experience than my sister, who seemed to Love this place and received great service! My first impression, however, was me excitedly walking up to the window, and the woman inside the truck simply opening the window and staring at me. No hello... No greeting at all really... And I'm sitting there in my head like uhhhhhhh is she busy? Is she ready? What do I do? Should I say something?? So, not a great impression as far as service goes. For the food, I would say about half of my order was overcooked, including a bean and cheese pupusa and the plantains. I would say there should probably be one salsa and one bag of cabbage slaw per pupusa order, otherwise it just doesn't seem to be enough. However, I am generally the most upset over the fact that my cheese pupusa was put in the same container as a cheese and shrimp pupusa. As a vegetarian, I do not want to feel insecure that I might be eating the food that has meat in it, and by the time we got home, the cheese pupusa basically melted into the shrimp pupusa, and by the time we tore half of the top pupusa open to make sure it didn't have shrimp in it, it was too destroyed to eat. I will say that my mom did seem to enjoy her shrimp pupusa, which is the only reason why I'm giving this a three star... I averaged our ratings. read more

Delicious!!! We are at the end of a 3 month road trip and have not had good tacos the whole time! My husband, being from SoCal, is very picky when it comes to tacos. Non of that Tex mex stuff for him! Thankfully this was authentic deliciousness! We ordered one adobada and one carne taco, cheese Pupusa, Carne burrito and plantains. Everything was soooo good! We devoured everything. My husband was not really hungry and just wanted tacos and ended up steeling half my burrito. So glad we stopped here for lunch. And the gentleman taking the order was super nice and patient, he helped the lady in front of us and explained all the food options since she was not familiar. On our next trip through town we will make sure to stop by for more yummy food! read more

Service was not good. They were not friendly and we waited a long time. There were people who came after us and got their food before us. If you've never had a pupusa, you might think these are alright. They weren't horrible, but they're not good either. I'm very surprised by the positive reviews honesty. read more

Thre of us ordered 5 pupusas and a taco. There was a misunderstanding and we didn't get the taco but we didn't pay for it either so it's all good. The pupusas were delicious with chicharrón y queso being the favorite followed by pollo y queso. Camarón y queso brings up the last. Couldn't really taste the shrimp. The curtido was excellent and we could have used much more. read more

Authentic and delicious, stopped here on a road trip and it was incredible, I wish it was open on Sunday's so we could go again on the way back, amazing food. read more

Bad, bad, bad Pupusas. Wife is from El Salvador and I've had them in the home land and at all the most popular places in San Francisco. We can tell when the cook is either not Salvadoran or not trained correctly. The Pupusas just don't have the right flavor or consistency. The Curtido is not fermented and salsa is wrong. I've had them made by Mexican eateries before, they just taste like beans and tortilla. Pupusas made correctly are so much more than that. This place tastes like those from a Mexican eatery. read more

I generally avoid food trucks, but this place defies all stereotypes. This is a food truck I trust. The experience was delightful. The truck and atmosphere are clean. The service is outstanding, both prompt and friendly. The food contains quality ingredients. I didn't get a stomach ache after eating. We ordered two burritos with a few some modifications. and they were extremely accommodating. Our burritos were some of the best we've had. I can't speak for the authenticity of the Mexican food, but it tastes fresh and the flavors are clean. Sal the owner does an excellent job. We will definitely be back. read more

Pupusas are one of my favorite lunchtime meals from Central America. Sal's definitely knows what they're doing. They were a crispy outside from the grill and nice and gooey inside. Just like they should be. The staff was friendly and service was pretty fast. My only complaint was that I didn't eat here yesterday, too! read more

Drove by, saw, parked and ate... So not disappointed! Thanks Salvador. You have Portland beat! Sincerely, baconandbroth.com read more

Muy muy rico. Me encanta las pupusas y los platanos. The service is a bit slow but it is so worth the wait! The food is excellent!!!! EDIT I originally gave this place 5 stars but we have been there three times so far and been overcharged ALL three times. Our friend was overcharged also.... $11 too much! Thats ridiculous. The food is good... But not that good. Also the wait is SO long, too long for just a taco truck. read more

Yummy pupusas a little greasier than I've had before, but I've heard from a Pupuseria in WA that that's pretty normal. Less greasy versions are made than way cuz Americans have a weird love hate relationship with grease lol. Wanted to try the loroco and cheese pupusa but they were out of loroco. So I'll have to go back sometime to try that and plenty more! read more

Very bad, greasy, nastry food. Makes me never want to visit salvador. Very very poor customer service. Small proportions for price. Wait is way too long especially for a food trailer with no seating. Other food trailers for my money never go here read more

Had to try this place out because I drive by it everyday and I don't know what a pupusa is. Now I do and I like it. The menu has enough to keep you satisfied no matter what time of day it is and for a very reasonable price. I had two bean meat and cheese pupusas and it made for a perfect lunch. Now I need to go back and try the mulitas and tacos. Can't wait! read more

Sal's Pupuseria - Lots of stuff to choose from - Food Trucks Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

It's pretty good. Solid meal that will fill you up. Good prices. However, its not too authentic, nothing is spicy, even the "spicy" items. The flavors are so plain and don't have that Hispanic flair. For someone who is used to authentic food, this will disappoint. read more

Sal's is my absolute favorite place to eat in Idaho Falls. I've been here many times and have never had a bad experience. The pupusas are on par with pupusas you would get in El Salvador, which is very impressive. It's true that the curtido and salsa are different, but they're not bad, they're just not what a native might expect. Make sure to grab a Kolashampan to wash it down. If you're not in the mood for pupusas, try the Super Tostada, Torta, Sopes, or Super Quesadilla. All of those are excellent choices. They also have hamburgers, corn dogs, and the like for the kids. ¡Viva Sal's! read more

Well worth the wait!! Nice to have authentic Salvador food in Idaho falls. We get the pupusa and traditional platter with plantains and they are to die for!! read more

Very nice family run food truck with seriously yummy food. Never heard of pupusas now I crave them. Absolutely delicious!

They say they are open but they really were not, HOWEVER they were still hanging around working and they still said they could make us a pupusa even though I wanted plantains. I really appreciated how willing they were to find something for me and they only charged $2.50 instead of 2.60 since we were scouring for change. Obviously that's not a huge difference but it's the thought that counts. I will definitely come back when they are open. I imagine on Sunday's they are closed because ALL of Idaho falls is closed :( read more

First impression didn't leave me much desire to return. I haven't had pupusa but I don't think they're supposed to be as greasy as mine was. The girl taking my order was very rude, no just a little, a lot I won't go into details because if she is reading this I wouldn't want her to feel bad about herself. I won't go back, like ever. read more

Decided to try this and well worth the stop. My wife mentioned that they have the best pupusas that she's had since having them in Houston 15 years ago. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Definitely worth the stop and we'll stop by again soon. read more

I got the shrimp and cheese pupusa and it was delicious. I simply could not put it down. It was a little cold outside, but hey, it's worth it. read more

So good and warm and delicious on a cold, wintery night. Takes a bit of time but quality is not compromised.

So I am form Los Angeles where you are guaranteed amazing tacos at any Mexican food cart you go to. I now live in Idaho Falls and had a carving so I went here. Not impressed First off, the meat was cold. Tasted like it was made the day before. Second off, it was really salty and I know it is supposed to be but this was almost unbearable. Pretty disappointed and probably wont return then again, I've been spoiled my whole life. read more

Fabulous! Great food, not super fast because it's authentic and made while you wait. Pupusas were seriously delicious.

This Gem was amazing! You could east drive by it, but you should definitely stop when you are in the area. The Pupusa's are amazing! And the elote was out of this world! read more

This is not a good place to eat. It takes FOREVER to get the food. It's super greasy and the meat comes from poor cuts of meat Full of grissel. Stay away don't waste your money or time. read more

This place is authentic and so delicious we madesure to come back when we were coming home from our trip!

One and done. Somebody else mentioned the Pupusas were off, and I would have to agree. Have had much better in Oakland. In addition, they were very greasy. I had wanted a plain cheese and they were out (this was before lunch), which I thought odd, so I went for the shrimp and cheese, and there were no ship, just cheese, so I paid more for anon existent shrimp plain cheese Pusan. SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE, It took almost 30 minutes to get two pupusas, this was before lunch rush. Counter lady was rude and acted like she was doing me a favor, no bother to say thanks for your business. Lastly, location is very tough to get out of at lunch hour, trying to get across Broadway or Utah. read more

Delicious food. Nice switch up from your typical taco truck. The pupusas were very tasty. Sal is a super fun and friendly guy. Great place to go in the summer for a quick lunch to sit outside at one of their clean picnic tables. read more

Great food and the guys in the back are real nice but the lady that mans the register makes me never want to come back again. You ask for something and she just stares at you, says nothing and walks to the back. Took us 25 minutes to get our food and we were the only ones there. When I went up to check on our order she gave me a dirty look and said to give her a second. Was so turned off by her I had my fiancé go ask her for a to go box for me and she had the same attitude of "what the heck do you want" with him too. If the owner wants his customers to come back it would be a wise decision to either replace her or tell her to at least pretend she likes her job and interacting with other human beings because it completely turned me off from coming back. Side note pupusas are $2.75 on average which is very pricey for pupusas if you've been to any other El Salvadorian restaurant. And this is a food truck so you aren't paying for any restaurant atmosphere in that price. I guess if they're the only place for hundreds of miles that sells them, you can jack the price up to whatever you want... read more
