We sat and ordered at the table and the staff member was very friendly and kind. She explained different items for us newbies. We got papusas, beans, and fried plantains. It was all made fresh, hot off the griddle. And it was all very delicious. I got one steak and one chicken papusa and they were both great. Next time I am going to try one of the many other combos of meat and veggies. They also had platters and lots of other dishes on the menu. I look forward to exploring more the next time I eat here.

I was first introduced to pupusas a few weeks ago at the Fall Festival event at Hance Park. My…read morefiancé got the beef pupusas and I loved them! We took a bunch of stickers that helped us track down the restaurant, Salvadoreño. There are a few locations for convenience. I appreciate the multiple pupusa options, from pork, steak, chicken, shrimp, bacon, pepperoni, and mixed, to vegetarian options: loroco, spinach, bean, squash, garlic, cheese, mushroom, potato, jalapeño, and flor de calabaza and even vegan options! The 3 combo option was $14.95. In order from my favorite to least favorite: 1. asada y queso, 2. revuelta (chicharrón, queso, y frijoles), and 3. Chorizo. My biggest complaint is that I'd like to have more meat in my pupusas! The rice and plantains were tasty. I'm not the biggest fan of Curtido (pickled slaw) , but in general. Will definitely return the next time I have a pupusa craving!

Called in order and it was ready when I arrived 15 minutes later…read more Cashier, order lady was so very nice! Took home and enjoyed the cachetadas, similar to soft beef taco. Delicious! Highly recommend the pastelitos. Small but plump beef filled croquette like pastries. Crunchy on the outside, savory and tasty on the inside. For dessert, the fried plantains. Not too sweet and served with table crema. This food is solid, delicious, fresh made, and they appreciate your business. Highly recommend.

DO NOT HESITATE - SUPPORT CRISTINA'S…read more Coming across Cristina's was a bit of a happy accident - I was on the west side and in the mood for pupusas, and Cristina's was nearby. When we walked in, there were a couple of tables filled and 2 groups of people waiting in line. We waited in line before we were asked if we were dining in or taking out, at which point we were prompted to take a seat. We took a while to nail down our order but once we did, it was smooth sailing. Our server brought out our drinks, as well as cutlery, and sauces. The pupusas took a while (freshly made and to order, plus many to-go orders) That said the wait was SO worth it. Aside from the pupusas my mom makes these are the BEST I've had in Arizona. They didn't skimp on the fillings and they were burnt or undercooked. They were just right! The curtido was fairly standard (I just wished there was a little more of it) - and I wish the salsas were spicier (but I am also conscious that not every culture has spicy foods). I WILL be back, and I strongly encourage you to give them a try. --- Honestamente las mejores pupusas que e comido en un restaurante en el estado. Recomendadas!!

I ordered Queso con jalapeños Pupusas and a Chicharron y queso Pupusas, food arrived fairly quick and it came out hot and fresh, the cheese tasted delicious, and the dough was soft and flavorful.

The Ensalada tasted fresh, fruity, it was my favorite. I also love how there's small chunks of fruit in it. Tamarindo was better than most I've tried with a perfect sweetness.
