Really enjoyed the pupusas here! They were nice and thick, perfectly cooked, and had a great texture. The tangy coleslaw on the side was delicious, with a nice crunch that paired really well with the pupusas. The hot sauce was also good, although I personally would have liked it to be a little spicier. Packaging was good, service was decent, and overall I had a great experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Loved their pupusas! I got the jalapeno & cheese, green chile & cheese, loroco & cheese, and shrimp & cheese. Shrimp & cheese, and green chile & cheese were probably my favorites. They reheat nicely too in the toaster oven. Here, they really pack them. Very delicious, excellent pricing about $5 each. I got 4 for $21. Friendly service too! read more

I ordered this place through doordash and it was absolutely delicious and so cheesy! Even the next day. Even though my delivery driver delivered it to the wrong door I will definitely be eating here again probably do a pick up order or I'll eat there! read more

Omg this place was SO good! The pupusas are absolutely delicious and huge. I was just driving by, saw the sign, and decided to stop in and I'm so glad I did. The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly, and they even have Wi-Fi, which was a big plus since I needed to get some work done on my laptop. Definitely coming back! read more

We went for Father's Day and it was amazing. The pupusa's were awesome. Definitely worth a try!

Not good at all. I would never order again. I threw out all the stuff I ordered after taking 1 bite of each. The salsa also had a gross fishy taste read more

Pupusas were ok, but lacking any flavor. Both very bland. The slaw and two hot sauces didn't help much. Green pepper was good and so was shredded chicken. Inside could use festive makeover. read more

It's the only place I go when I need myself a Pupusa! They have a variety of flavors and I usually get the chicken because it's my favorite. The Cole slaw salad is always delicious. It does take some time to get your food but it's made fresh so you have to appreciate that. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is very clean with a welcoming ambiance. I'd definitely recommend eating here if you want some fire pupusas! read more

This was my first experience eating Salvadoran food. I ordered the tres pastelitos and some of their pupusas. The food was all very good and very filling! Pastelitos were my favorite, had a nutty flavor similar to Fritos but in the best way possible and crispy on the outside. Pupusas were soft and filled with meat and beans, also pretty good. Definitely worth a try! Also very friendly staff. read more

Just some really damn good pupusas, no complaints here! Was able to call in an order, and was ready in 20 minutes just as promised. Loroco was nice and light, jalapeno had a good amount of kick, and asada and chicharron had plenty of meatiness to it without being overpowered or overcooked by the cheese. Will need to come back and try the rest of the menu at a later time, but I'm not too familiar with Salvadoran places in the Valley and Seydi's takes the cake. Will definitely drop by more often anytime I'm feeling Bahama Buck's a block away. read more

I decided to give this place a try, but it wasn't quite my favorite experience. As a Salvadoran, I'm used to pupusas that have a bit more variety of ingredients, and this one had mostly cheese with fewer signs of other fillings. We also ordered #14 (stewed beef), which was pretty good. I might consider returning someday, but probably not for the pupusas. read more

I'm torn. I loved the cabbage but was disappointed with the beef pupusa. It only had 3 small pieces of meat. I don't think I will be going back. It was not what I expected. read more

Their pupusas are so delicious! Beautifully made and super tasty. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean.

I had been wanting to try pupusas for a long time and I found an old article from the New Times talking about Seydi's! So delicious! The kids and I ordered a half dozen so we each got 2. The carne asada, shrimp and cheese, bean with cheese, pork bean with cheese one, and 2 chicken. I love the pickled slaw and the sauce, great balance of flavors with the pupusas. Definitely will go back and I most certainly will recommend this place! read more

First time here and first time tasting Salvadoran Food. Have heard about pupusa's which look like stuffed corn (masa) pancakes. There were other food choices but opted for the steak and cheese pupusa and spinich and cheese pupusa. They were served with small containers of cole slaw and salsa. First bite of the steak pupusa had grizzle, however, that sometimes may happen. I liked the spinich and cheese pupusa. They are quite filling. Doused both with hot sauce. The Salvadoran cole slaw is quite different. It is slightly fermented with lime and spices. I don't really have any bench marks for comparing Salvadoran Food or this restaurant. Service was good, place is clean. I will be back to try other selections. read more

Loved everything about this place. Nice decor to remind you of El Salvador with maps and wall art. The pupusas were stuffed and best I've had in the phoenix area. The horchata tasted so good not that watered down sugar water they serve at Filiberto's. The horchata is the good stuff that is toasted and you can taste the quality if you know and can tell the difference. Talked to the owner and he is a very nice guy and down to earth. Definitely will be back when in the area again. read more

Driving down from the Grand Canyon and we find these amazing reviews so we must stop. Not the most aesthetically pleasing place but clean and their food is good!!! Why the 4 stars? The price. Now I thought NY was expensive but the pupusas were 4.25 each! The soup $20. Now the pupusas are really stuffed so worth the price but dang! Overall I do recommend, it's worth the price, I'd come again but wallets beware. Is this normal pricing for AZ? read more

We've been twice now and both times have been great! The workers are very nice and welcoming. The pupusas are made fresh to order and are a good size. We also tried the sopa de res and it was very tasty! They give a good portion of meat which usually places skimp out on that part. Great place, we'll keep going back! read more

I have been wanting to come here since I moved to the area last year and finally went here today! There's only one other pupusa restaurant I've been to and I loved it so I was super excited to try this place! I got 3 pupusas, spinach and cheese, zucchini and cheese, and jalepeno and cheese. I also got a side of the pico de gallo, rice, and beans. The pupusas also come with hot sauce and a vinegary cabbage slaw. I loved how fresh the food was. The pupusas were perfectly crisp on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside. They were super filling I definitely only needed two but now I have leftovers! Very flavorful food too. Would totally come here again and will be recommending it! read more

Even today I forgot my card and they were very accommodating in the situation. Everyone needs to come try this place! read more

Delicious!! Came here after having driven by this place unknowingly for years. And it is awesome. We ate the half a dozen pupusas and my 3 1/2 year old even ate 1.5 What is there not to love if you have cheese and more cheese :-) all is Made fresh to order, so you got to pack a little bit of patience. The restaurant is definitely a great family run spot. Only point to improve is that the cutlery and plates are typical South American throw away. We will be back, next tile possibly for take out. read more

Seydi's Pupuseria & Grill - Guest room. - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

What a great place to stop for lunch or breakfast or anytime you crave a pupusa - a round tender disc of corn cake with your choice of fillings. Filling, fit for vegetarians or meat lovers or a mix of both. We don't live nearby, but my family of 5 still plans to stop by any time we're in the area. This was perfect lunch for my 80 year old mom all the way to my 20 something 6'3" hungry soon who is gluten intolerant. And for me - a bargain to boot! Happily enjoyed the side 'slaw' that adds just the right bite to a comforting and homemade meal. We ate every delicious bite and can't wait to eat more. read more

Seydi's Pupuseria & Grill - Carne asada plate and a chicken and cheese pupusa - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Seydi's Pupuseria & Grill is a casual order at the counter Salvandorian Restaurant that specializes in the pupusa (stuffed flatbread cheese/vegetable and cheese/meat). They are located in a strip mall in North Phoenix. They also offer Salvadorian style breakfast (tamale, rice, beans, plantains, eggs, burritos), appetizers, combination plates and around a dozen kinds of pupusas. The food is mostly fresh prepared to order so it takes around 15 minutes or more for your order. We ordered, paid and sat ourselves and in about 15 minutes we had two enormous plates to share. We started with steak with two pupusas.....The pupusas were OUTRAGEOUSLY CRAZY CRAZY GOOD! and were also much larger than we were expecting. They are like a super great grilled cheese sandwich but much tastier. They are basically masa pancakes with cheesy crisp ends and are filled with LOTS of yummy melty mild cheese and whatever filling you pick. We picked the wildflower and the jalapeño.....(both were really good but GET THE JALAPEÑO!). They give you a very sharp tasting but also spicy slaw and really flavorful chili sauce to dress things up. The steak was a little chewy but we really loved the pupusas. ($9.50) The other plate we shared was the fried tilapia ($11.99) It was a WHOLE fried fish and was so tender and flaky. The meat just fell off the bones. It came with tasty studded rice, a fried jalapeño, flavorful beans and tasty hand made corn tortillas. The person that took our order was friendly and checked on us too. What a treat! This is a place that you would want to try! read more

I'm up to try anything once and am so happy I tried Salvadorian food. The food was Mexican-like but a little better in my opinion. We ordered the classic pupusa. My favorite was the "cheese only" pupusa. The highlight of the meal was the plantain. I have no idea what was inside of it but it tasted amazing. I will definitely be back soon as this is a great place to grab lunch during the week read more

I can't believe I didn't do a review for Seydi's yet (I think I must've left a review on a 'not the official Yelp page' right after they opened, maybe?) Seydi's is a great place! I've tried several of the pupusas, and my favorite is the Revuelta (pork, bean and cheese) smothered in the hotter salsa - tasty, filling, hits the spot, and a great value! My wife likes the Espinaca con Queso (spinach and cheese) and the Loroco con Queso (wildflower and cheese). Finish off with a shared order of Empanada de Platano for dessert! If you want something a little more than just pupusas, try the Carne Asada y Dos Pupusa. It was great, too! :-) Jose is a great guy, as is everyone else I've interacted with there. Great food. Great prices. Great people. read more

Good!Good!Good, food. Very authentic & fresh.Love the beans & rice lots of flavor, the chicken soup has chunks of carrots, potatoes, celery & whole pieces of chicken its incredible with the freshly homemade thick tortillas & a side of avocado. Portions are plentiful. Great menu selection. Plenty of indoor seating available & orders to-go can be placed. Everything was clean including the restrooms. Parking is plentiful too.It's located in a shopping center that has lots of other little businesses like tattoo shop,hair/barber salon, precious stone store, cellular repair,thrift store, ect...so there's other shopping in the center.Service was pleasant & friendly. I'll definitely go again to try a few other items on the menu. read more

I always get the number 12, the carne asada plate and 2 pupusas. It's so friggin good!

Wow, wow, wow. Best pupusas in town, in my opinion. We got it delivered (it's about 20 minutes from me) and it was somehow still pipin' hot when it got to us. They also sorted meat and veggie pupusas into different containers - THANK YOU! Fried yucca was delicious also. Lunch leftovers were amazing and I might have it again for dinner. read more

Pupusa Please Located in a strip-mall in north Phoenix, Seydi's Pupuseria & Grill serves traditional home-made Salvadorian food. Seydi's has everything from pupusas (12 varations), steaks, fried yucca, banana-leaf-wrapped tamales, curtido (lightly fermented cabbage slaw with red chilies and vinegar), rice and beans. The restraunt is very clean in a well laid out space. As we entered the Restraunt we were greeted very pleasantly by the staff. My lunch companion and I both ordered the pork, bean, and cheese pupusa, rice, and curtido lunch. The pupusa's were hot, thick, chewy, doughy, brown-burned discs stuffed with meat and cheese and griddled to give them a nice leopard-print char, and these pupusa's were delicious. The pupusa's take time to get to the table -- but be patient, it's worth the wait. If you ever find yourself in the area give this place a try you won't be disappointed and I forgot to mention the prices at Seydi's are extremely reasonable. read more

This place is by far the best pupusas I've had that weren't made at my auntie's place. The service is very professional, prompt and courteous. Very clean and great vibe! I recommend it to everyone looking to enjoy Salvadorian food read more

Fantastic Papusas! Some places aren't as cheesy but these are! I wish they did offer a larger portion of the rice since I believe they do only sell single servings which is fair. None the less, love it here!!! Always order from here for our friends and family. As for service I have never had any issues. We usually order over the phone and pick up and it's always easy and delicious. read more

Magnificent examples of what Pupusas can and should be, not to mention their other offerings being exceptional. Craving good Salvadoran food for quite a while we took a plunge up town where recently the AZ Republic A&E section made mention of them, and you may want to check Phoenix Magazine's Nikki Buchannan's write up on Seydi's! This inconspicuous café in a run-of-the-mill strip mall does not do justice to the incredible cooking served in this counter service, indoor seating establishment with modest décor, run by the Mother and Son team of Seydi and Jose Flores that gives you the best Salvadoran eats anywhere in the Valley. We went all out to sample a variety and were satisfied with every bite! We went for starters with Platanos fritos (plantains) con Crema (cream) y Frijol (a black bean sauce); and for our mains enjoyed the Yuca (Cassava) con Chicharron (crispy fried yet tender pork chunks) served with Repollo (cabbage) and Salsa; not to mention Pupusas - and we took home 4 Pupusas Revueltas (a mixture of different meats stuffed into these great traditional meat pies); I also had the best Salvadoran Carne Guisada (beef stew) with arroz y ensalada I've had in years. Seydi, we hope you and your son continued success, we know everyone who comes to savor your meals will definitely feel the love, not to mention the flavors of El Salvador. Buen provecho everyone! read more

The spacious eatery has friendly counter service and quite a selection of Salvadoran favorites. On my first visit I tried the plato tipico: grilled beef, platano frito, Salvadoran sausage, a small block of cuajada (a soft spongy cheese), rice and beans, with sides of avocado, salad. What a flavorful treat it was, and so filling. I came back the next day to try some pupusas - this is a pupuseria after all. I ordered three: revueltas, camaron, and jalapeno - all very good, and bigger than I had expected; I ate half of each and brought the other halves home for a meal for the next day. The dining experience in this place is pleasant and the prices are good. So if you want a real treat for your taste buds and you happen to be in north Phoenix or don't mind the drive to that area, then do yourself a favor and try out this place! read more

Seydi is the spot! I was born in El Salvador and I can confirm this is as close as it gets! The pupusas a big and super delicious! The service is always great and everyone is so nice. I had the chance to chat with the owner and he told me he named the restaurant after his mom Seydi and she was lovely enough to share her recipes. I met Seydi like 10 years ago when she used to come to my office and she would sell me a dozen pupusas that she would make at her house, kinda like a side hustle. I'm so happy to see them having a restaurant. The pupusas revueltas are the best! Don't sleep on this place! read more
