I stopped in to watch the Brazil vs. Morocco game and was so glad I did. Coming to a family-owned place like this was a completely different, better experience compared to the stressful and superficial vibe of major chains. The vegetarian super burrito was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. Having lived abroad for a long time, being able to enjoy authentic food like this in our area feels like a real privilege. The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was just as great as the food. I truly hope this wonderful local business continues to thrive--they deserve it! Thank you!

Everything was ordered to go about 45 minutes prior to closing and took about 25 minutes to make. The price for the amount of food is decent. The Birria pupusa pizza is comforting so make time for a nap afterwards! Staff was nice and for a business that was closing in less than an hour, it was busy! All the tables seemed to have people in them. Staff were consistently running food to people's tables. Definitely one of the better pupusa options in the Bay Area and possibly my new favorite in the East Bay.

Nice set up on the side of the fruit stand with a table to sit at if you want to eat there, easy parking, friendly service, cash/Zelle accepted, and absolutely delicious fresh food.

This rating is specifically for the chicken tamal - I finally got to get one from them because I…read moretend to go to Grocery Outlet to do my shopping on Sundays so this place is always closed ahah. Since I was in the area today, I finally went in to get my chicken tamal (if you're not familiar with Salvadorean tamales, they're sooo worth a try! They're wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn and are much more soft and moist). These were $6/tamal. Kinda pricey but they are a bit bigger than most-however the size is moreso due to the amount of masa to meat ratio, which I don't mind since I do love the masa parts. I do wish their chicken was either more shredded or more flavored since some bites of chicken were on the dry side. The bites that wern't so dry were delicious though! Looking at their pics/reviews now it seems other people have tried other kinds of tamales, but I only saw one option on the menu so that's what I went with. All in all, not my absolute favorite tamales, but it hits the spot.

I have curious about pupusa after watching several YouTube video reviews. Although I have seen…read morerestaurants offering them for as so long as I can remember I must admit I have never had any. So today was my day for an adventure. I found this El Salvador Restaurant nearby has decent review albeit not many though. It looked clean and tidy. Walking in around 11:45 am to an empty dimly lit dining, a lady behind the counter greeted me and told to sit anywhere. It was warm with no air circulating as the ceiling fans weren't turned on. I mentioned to her it was my first time having pupusa so she patiently pointed several options. Complimentary chips and salsa were served. I thought the salad needed something to give it kick. I chose lunch #1 that consists of 2 pupusa, plantains, red bed beans and sour cream; separately ordered a lemonade. The drink came short afterwards. It was lemony slightly sweet. My plate came hot as it should and the accompanying coleslaw and red sauce were brought over as well. Pickled coleslaw and red sauce were added to the top of my first pupusa which as the cheese a beans. It was too hot to hold by hand so I ate it with knife and fork. It was definitely something g I never had before. A little hot sauce helped. I wish the doughy covering wasn't so overwhelming as I would appreciate the filling much more. It was the same experience for the second pupusa that was the pork, cheese and beans. Finally the fried plantains, I haven't grown to appreciate at this point and this example didn't improve my opinion, I'm hate to admit. I wasn't sure how to apply the red beans and sour cream so I dipped the plantains in them. I guess I need some guidance. On this initial visit, overall, it definitely was a good experience, service was pleasant, food was good though not sure if it was a great representation of this particular good. But I felt it was a good experience and I'm quite open to trying other dishes here.

Many moons ago, a friend introduced me to pupusas. Every so often since that fateful day, I get a…read morehankering and that is how I discovered Los Planes de Renderos. Now, this low-key, casual spot is a regular in my rotation of restaurants, a favorite place to stop by for a reliably good, inexpensive meal with friendly service. Parking is easy in the private lot beside the restaurant. I've never had to wait for a table; reservations are not necessary. The décor and hood are nothing fancy, but the food is well worth the trip. The crisp, chewy, made-to-order pupusas; generous sides of tart curtido; and extra-large sweet beverages (I always get the piña) bring me back again and again.

There's actually plenty of seats inside for dine-in, but I think I've seen more take-out orders than people dining in. If dining in, I've always ordered at the register and paid first. But I've seen a few El Salvadoran customers eat then pay when they were done, so I think they get a different level of service. No big to me, just an observation. Agua Fresca ($4ish/3.5*) I saw a large glass jug up by the register that looked like a melon agua fresca. I order one but was told it was a mixed fruit version. I'm down tried it anyways. Sure there were a good amount of shredded cantaloupe which gave its summery orange hue. But there were also chunks of apple and maybe orange, so it was definitely fruity like a homemade punch. Too sweet for me tho, as I only sipped a third of it there with my meal. I brought the rest home and diluted it with more filtered water and I was able to stretch it out whilst making it more refreshing. Pupusas ($5ish/4*) I had these twice, one being a revuletas (mixed) and another time with cheese and chicharone. They are quite petite, so 1 for an app is good while 2-3 for a meal would be required. Their masa mix is nice and soft, but they don't griddle it enough for my preference. I like em well browned maybe even slightly charred on the exterior. Here they barely get them browned, so kinda like a medium rare pupusa. Lol. One time it was nice and browned but another time it was pretty pale, so it even looked kinda raw, but it wasn't. The fillings are solid, especially the ones with cheese in the middle. Their curtido and thin tomato salsa is spot on authentic, great crunch with good acidity and bold hits of oregano. So good with the warm pupusas. Platanos Fritos ($6/3.5*) Fried very ripe plantains, so the plantains are quite sweet and soft/mushy. I like bites of this to go with my entree as I like the rotating hits of savory with sweet. Very oily tho. Menudo/Sopa de Pata ($17/4.5*) Perfectly simmered tripe that were so tender and silky which I love. The pata was just 1 small piece, not crazy tender, still had some bite to it. I still love the collagen filled bites, very ethnic eating which is quite natural to me. I think I actually got the hybrid of menudo with their Sopa de Pata, cuz even tho I got a good dose of tender tripe, the broth was white-ish (no red chiles) and there were lots of veggies like sliced zuccini, cabbage, carrots, yucca and corn. Those are definitely not usually part of the menudo definition, but I welcome such veggies in a rich protein meal. I loved this bowl, with a touch more dried chiles and a squeeze of lemon, with bites of fresh thick warm corn tortillas. So filling and so satisfying. I still want to try an El Salvadoran breakfast plate and maybe a carne guisada (stewed beef) platter, so I'm sure I'll be back. Yeah buddy!

There were a lot of complaints about service but no complaints about food so we decided to try it out. Ordered 4 chicharron pupusas and one carnitas taco. Just ordered the taco because I am a deep deep lover of carnitas and I wanted to try it. Under $25. The place was packed with all Latinos ... first good sign. Lots of the complaints were about timely-ness, and I say to those people, relax. Everybody was working super hard and fast, and it is just really busy at lunch. It takes a little time to get your food, but it was absolutely worth it. these might be the best pupusas I've ever had. They brought out three salsas for us, and I was partial to the green. The pupusas were chock full of cheese and chicharron to the rims. Fried perfectly. The carnitas taco was amazing! The pork was so crispy and delicious. As to the service, ours was great. The tables were all full, but a couple of guys said we could sit at their table because they had two empty seats. Thank you! A young person with bleached hair wearing a baseball cap (sorry I should've asked your name) was really attentive. He cleaned our table and brought us ice water. I can't wait to go back! I will be getting more pupusas, and my mom wants all carnitas tacos all day.
