Best Salvadorian pupusas in Town. Don't forget the horchata. Service always fast. (Average of 15 min). Ambience reminds me very much of those latino eateries. Where you can order breakfast or lunch. read more

Taqueria El Tucan - Chicken and cheese pupusa with tomato sauce. - Salvadoran Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

See all

Just tried for the first time and the food was delicious! The service was great! Highly recommend you try!

Great papusas! Each one is 3.99 and they have many to choose from. I got the chicharrón con frijoles and queso and those were bomb! I also got the asada and queso one but that one wasn't that good. Service was fast, just make sure to ring the bell if no one is at the counter. Seating is very limited and looks a bit run down but not bad if you are taking it to go. read more

Rude staff, if you don't enjoy your job then go somewhere else, all the staff have an attitude especially the cashier . Also found 2-3 hairs in my food? I know dang well they weren't mines. read more

The pupusas were good, but not great. They tasted a little fried, rather than grilled, and were crispy. Served with a very small amount of the cabbage, which was disappointing. The restaurant itself was fairly busy on a Monday during lunch time, but that might have been because it's tiny. Atmosphere is more of a convenience shop that offers food read more

I'm only giving it 2 stars because the Tamale was really tasty. Now the Pupusas on the other hands were not. They could have been so much more had they not filled them with some form of generic Mozzarella cheese, i was only able to take a few bites before calling it quits. Please don't waste a trip if you, like me, were only going for the Pupusas. read more

I've only been here once. The place is kind of cold, empty and uncomfortable to eat in but the pupusas tasted pretty authentic to me so I was happy. The salsa and curtido was good too! Definitely a repeat for take out. read more

Wow! This place is awesome. Small hole in the wall restaurant by a gas station and the food is incredible. I've had many experiences with cultural foods, and I'm not an expert on this genre but t it was hot, tasty and the dipping sauces were amazing - red had some kick , green was very mild. I only ordered one sope but she charged me for two and gave me two and boy was I glad to get both of them! The pupusas were awesome too. You can't go wrong with any of the options for the pupusas. Thank you for the quality and yummy-ness; I'll be back. You have a new frequent customer. read more

Great tacos, papusas, and salsas. They don't speak english so brush up on your Spanish but the food was amazing, full of flavor, and cheap. My whole meal was only $5 read more

Review based solely on service. Eaten here multiple times, great food. Clearly there is a language barrier but torta is pretty simple to understand she then hung up on me 3 times. Will not eat here again after she hung up on me three times. Maybe their phone sucks it was pretty staticky but you run a business figure it out. read more

Best pupusas in this part of town. Friendly workers. Also have tried their sopes very good.

I would give his place 5 stars if their service was a little better. The waitresses spend their day hanging out in the kitchen gossiping than up front where customers can get their attention easily. Now despite that, I LOVE their food! Which is why I have came back many times. It is hard to find pupusas this far north so I stumbled upon it randomly. They have a mix or Salvadorian and Mexican food. I am Mexican so I am very picky about tacos, these here are great! The tripitas are nice and crispy and they actually warm up the tortillas well. They pack the taco with enough meat and toppings. Their pupusas are a little thin and they do the least meat possible so I do not order any meat ones. I love their queso con loroco ones and the beans and chicharrón. They have a good variety of salsas and toppings. This has become a regular place for me to crave and order from! They also have like a little "tiendita" set up behind the counter. So if you're homesick and missing some Salvadorian snacks you can pick some up and take them home! read more

Doesnt look like much. But while they have the best pupusas in town I'd have to say. This is the spot 4 pupusas up north the service could use some help the waitresses mostly gossip in the back and it's super annoying especially since in Spanish and it just sounds like blahber. The spot is really close to my house so it's really growing on me and my boyfriend we go at least twice a month just for the pupusas so all-in-all I'll give this place 4 stars because service is shity but the food is great! read more

I go here at least once a week. Good food, not great but good. It is located right next to the laundromat, so I will eat here while I do laundry. I mostly have their tacos, but my picky eating son will have the sopes. read more

Giving 4 stars for my experience, the pupusas were really amazing, best in my local area, but the salsa was literally abysmal. Tomato water at best. Friendly enough customer service however! read more

Great tacos and pupusas. But the nachos were terrible - you get better ones at a baseball field. Stick with tacos at a tacqueria.

The food is ok, but the service is completely horrible. Been here 3 times. 1st time it was ok, 2 time walked out after waiting over 45min for just some platanos (fried plantains), the lady at the counter didn't seem to know whos order was who's and everything was disorganized. Some people that had just came in got their orders before some of us that had been waiting. 3rd time walk out again since it was the same lady and now we new why orders were mess up. Some times she left tickets behind and put in new orders before older orders. We asked an older man if he had been waiting long because he was upset with the lady, when he said about n hour it was go time for us. Not coming back, like ever. read more

We went to this place as we were here visiting, my husband is from El Salvador was craving pupusas. It was a little whole in the wall not very clean. Even the girl at the register looked like a good shower would spunk her up. I've worked hard jobs so I get it. Another problem we ordered lots of goodies along with two tamales the girl said is cold ok I was thrown back , ok she said they were made two days ago so they were cold , ok.. the girl kept asking what else so we figured we were going to get full off her chips and candy because my appetite was gone.... She never gave us some of our stuff .. she wouldn't even come out from behind a wall.. no receipt no checking nothing we never even got a fork or spoon and the owner just walked around not knowing nothing.. not even a napkin!... we got ,, 40$ wasted never again I wish there was 0 stars I'd be happier... Food had so much salt almost choked on my bite of pollo quisado... just awful the service is the worst.. it was all so bad I did my first review here read more

great customer service and good hospitality in this restaurants environment, I will be coming again for their delicious foods .

Literally across the street from our apartment,so very convenient. We just moved here from Texas and are missing our taqueria of choice but these guys have filled the void. Great tacos and burritos and the sauces are on point. read more

Some of the best Papusas I have found in Denver, which are hard to find. A perfect portion of Curtido and tasty tomato salsa. It's not the best ambiance, but it seems takeout is the focus at Tucan. I'd dock half a star for that, but since that isn't an option I rounded up to 5. Also very well priced. The sign is hard to spot, it is next to the gas station. read more

they take way to long getting the food ready because they just gossip but after the food is ready its the best in the area I love this restaurant but I will give it 3 stars because the waitress just gossip and laugh in the kitchen and when you order drinks it takes 20 min to get them because of the same reason gossip and laughing. read more
