El Papaturro Restaurant

O.m.g. Loooove this place. Our go to is the revuelta and bean and cheese pupusas, plantains, and the yuca fries. Yummm. If you only went here for those items it's enough. Very reasonably priced. I always get extra to take home. Very rarely is it packed, but don't let that scare you away. The service is always quick. They check on you to see if you need anything and are kind. Open area and clean feeling. Has a mom and pops vibe. Do not skip this place!

: **Total Waste of Time and Gas**I recently drove a long distance to visit this place based on their online hours stating they were open. When I arrived, to my dismay, the doors were locked and the lights were off. It was incredibly frustrating to waste both my time and gas for absolutely no reason. I could have gone somewhere else to satisfy my hunger, but instead, I was left disappointed and hungry. I wouldn't recommend this place unless they can get their hours straightened out. Very unprofessional!

Delicious good, good service, good pricing, authentic. I had two been, cheese, and chicharon pupusas. The veggie slaw had a piece of plastic in it. Oops! Luckily I saw it and didn't eat it or put it in my mouth. I also tried a slice of semita which is a subtly sweet desert bread and it was very tasty. This is a nice family owned business offering El Salvadoran options in the community.

Date night E was eating a new cuisine at a new restaurant. We tried Salvadorian food. We ate at El Papaturro. Let's say it was very interesting and we were not interested and will not be back. The food lacked seasoning and it was odd. They had pink potato salad with a stew and I was not sure what they gave me next to my beans but it was kind of gross. It might be authentic but it is not our style of food. The pupusa was ok, but again lacked seasoning and the tamale had way too much masa and very little filling. The eggs were cooked perfectly.

Moved here from Cali and it's definitely been a mission to find good Salvadoran food. It took me two months to find this spot and man it did not disappoint. The pupusas were proportioned correctly, meaning it was not just masa. They fill the pupusas with the right amount of filling were some of filling comes out and little bit of crisp is forms on the edges. The Curtido and salsa were fresh and not overly salty. I have only tried the revueltas pupusas (chicharron, beans, and cheese). We also enjoyed the Fresca de ensalada (for all my non-Salvis) this is a fruit juice with chopped fruit added to the drink. This places makes me feel like home, coming here weekly.

Great, friendly spot. They'll help you out with the menu right away. I recommend grabbing a bean and cheese papusa with a Chaco en tamal and an ice cold piña drink. The fried bananas with sour cream are good too!

I had my first Pupusa at a Washington DC restaurant and liked them. So it's nice to have a place here that serves them plus much more on their menu. I got 2 Mixed filling Pupusas and it comes w the pickled slaw. Both very good and it hit the spot for a late lunch. The menu has expanded since I first came here back in 2017 so I plan on coming back to try more dishes. The service was very good and not rushed. The Pupusas are cooked fresh to order. The interiors are simple and clean, nothing fancy. I will be back to try more dishes since I love to Explore other countries and their foods.

I am married to a Salvador woman I have been to El Salvador. I am from Los Angeles. I know what good Salvador food looks like. Smells like and taste like this restaurant is excellent. The pupusa expertly made perfect size just enough cheese, melting out brown perfectly and crunchy. Their tamales are fire and the ensalada ( this is a fruit drink} was so good. Thank God for these people and their food a diamond in the rough of Latino food options in a state obsessed with new Mexican cuisine that they call Mexican and overall not enough options.

By far the best pupusas in ABQ. Favorite is loroco. The slaw and sauces are delicious.

Clean establishment, fast & friendly service to seat & take orders. Food does take a bit to come out although it's made fresh so that's the beauty of it. Food is delicious! You won't be disappointed
