Pupusería y Restaurante Salvadoreño

Over a decade one of the most popular Sw Detroit eating spots. We been customers since opening, they closed over a year for Covid. Always a fabulous Authentic Salvadoran meal. Da Pupusas are the star on the menu, over a dozen different fillings. We had a great combo the winner for me Jalapeno n Cheese rules. Had a couple Salvadoran Tamal different than the Mexican style, a Perco be Pork and Pollo be Chicken both marvelous. Had a really unique Hen Soup be a pound plus Chicken Breast, Rice, Beans, Bread and quart of Mega Veggie Soup. A perfect dish for sharing so delicious . Shout Out to Gabby our superstar waitress, her uncle owns the place. New fancy construction out front a mega patio will be open this spring. #pupuseriayrestaurantesalvadoreno #pupusas #pupusaria #hensoup #salvadorianfood #tamal #eatswdetroit #salvador @gabygeeeeee

Went here for pupusas at the suggestion of a friend. She spoke Spanish which was helpful- and also not necessary. It was good to have her there so that she could shoW me the way to eat the pupusas. It is unassuming and casual but clean. It's in a building that might have been something else in another life. They have pupusas of all types. Different combinations of meat, cheese, beans, and even some veggie ones. I opted for one that had squash in it (and chicken and cheese). I also had one with pork. The slaw and salsa on top of them really add to the flavor! I saw what looked like a delicious soup being delivered so may try that when I go back! The lot is largely unpaved. Be carefull how you park.

Always support small businesses. This is a small business that deserves your support. It has been great to see their little spot expand over the years. However, the food quality has always been consistent and homemade. Try this if you are tired of fast food and food in general food that is played out. This is a mom and pop shop for real.

Love this place. Everything is made to order so it takes awhile but worth it. The parking lot is recently renovated so sometimes it may look like the restaurant is closed. One star off because they also redid the menu and now there is no pricing. We got charged incorrectly for our order and would not have noticed if we did not ask for an itemized receipt.

Traditional meals typical of Central American cuisine. It's like going to visit family for a home cooked meal. Everything was authentically tasty. Food is filling with no thrills. If you're a foodie, this is not for you. If you're looking to experience authentic meals from native lands, this is a must try. All items are reasonably priced. Friendly staff and clean surroundings. On a side note, I can see much potential for this place in the future.

Es una tristeza lástima de comida soy mexicana pero amo las popusas muy contenta hace meses fui a probar las Popusas a este restaurant salvadoreño y me llevé una grande decepción está horriblemente sucio por cada esquina y rincón que lo mires el piso sucio las paredes sucias cucarachas no puedo ni imaginar cómo estará el baño como venden comida en este lugar al público que raro no les ha caído la city la comida mejor la pedí para llevar porque me moría del asco me dio pena no pagar porque yo tengo educación pero la tuve que tirar no es mala onda pero deberían pensar en la gente debes en cuando pacen el trapeador sino es que todos los días por favor aparte yo no sé que tenga con mi México lindo y querido pero tienen una bandera colgada hecha trizas mi bandera mexicana no entendí o no quise entender porque incitan racismo yo en lo personal no tengo nada contra la gente salvadoreña tengo valores suerte chicos ojalá que se ponga a ser una buena limpia a este lugar que buena falta si le hace

I got a bean and cheese pupusa and 2 chicken empanadas. Everything was amazing! Best pupusa AND empanadas I've had in Colorado. It was $13 for 2 chicken empanadas & the pupsa, which came with salsa and a cabbage mixture. It was the perfect sized lunch and really fantastic flavors.

Yummy and tasty! Yes this place is off the beaten road and you would just pass this place and not think twice about it. But man do their papusa make you come back for more.My husband and I came here after having papusa in california and wanted to try this place. We were alittle confused about how to order but it is like any other place. If you want take out, you order at the register and if you want to dine in you sit at a table and someone will be with you. They have many things on the menu and everything looked good but we did the 2 papusa with a drink and rice and beans. You get to pick the papusa you want. I enjoyed it and would definitely go back for more. Did I just want to keep this place to myself and not share, of course! But I am too nice and think that good food should be shared! Enjoy!

I really wanted to love this restaurant. I have been intrigued by pupusas, ever since seeing them on the Food Network. So when a friend suggested a pupuseria for lunch, we jumped at the chance, piled into his car and off we went.The mom-and-pop restaurant is in an industrial part of Detroit. The parking lot was half-filled with cars when we arrived, expected given that it was a bit later in the afternoon. Inside the main dining room, the remnants of the lunch rush remained. Empty glasses, dirty dishes, stray crumbs still sat at unoccupied tables so we ended up on one end of the long table in the center of the room.We ordered quickly: pupusas for all, along with tamales and plantains.I had the chicharron y queso pupusa, pork and cheese filled corncakes. The soft corncakes were nicely crispy; I enjoyed the melted cheese and savory pork mixture. While tomato sauce and a vinegary cabbage slaw, curtido, were available to season the dish, I thought it was delicious without any additional ornamentation.The fried plantains were also incredible, soft, with a lovely smoky flavor. The side was larger than either of the other items ordered, definitely large enough to share.I ordered a tamale, as well, to get a taste of everything. Shredded chicken breasts were in a corn dough, steamed until cooked. Unfortunately, compared with the pupusas and plantains, it was rather bland and uninteresting. It is a good thing that the pupusa and plantains were plentiful enough that I did not miss the tamale.Service was okay. While there was some confusion regarding who ordered what (food was mistakenly delivered to our table), the server was quick to take our order and provide us with our beverages.

First time trying salvadorian food. This location was In a odd spot off the highway and kind of hard to get into. Coming in it looks bigger than it does outside. I had high expectations coming into this place because my freinds said it was really good. The ambiance is very traditional with local music, decorations on the wall and the waitstaff and menu being in Spanish, all the good elements of a fantastic hole in the wall. The menu options are showcasing pupusas which are bread, cheese and either beans or peppers or many combinations of meats, cheeses and whatever else you can think. I ordered the squash and chicken, the jallapeno, the tamale and a passionfruit drink. It was as expected, very heavy and cheesy. Two would of been enough I ordered three with plantians. Plantains were well done with beans and sour creme. Tamale was cooked nicely with shredded chicken inside. As far as the pupusas they were as expected, heavy with cheese and meat on a plate stacked like pancakes exept the salvadorian. As far as authenticity goes this place would be my best guess to what it would be like to get out in el Salvador. Learn some Spanish. Food could be better in presentation but honestly it's well regarded because thats what your going for. 71/100 @mazadarrecipes
