Izalco

I've come here for years now and I have to say these are the best homemade pupusas you can get. The curtido is perfect and mild, also obviously freshly made since it's crunchy. It's a one lady restaurant so I wouldn't expect super fast service. I think if this place got more recognition, she could actually have a staff again and it can be as popular as it was 7 years ago. The place needs renovating, but it's a great way to get some delicious cheap pupusas there, just call ahead and pick them up.He venido aquí hace años y debo de decir que estas son las mejores pupusas caseras que puedes conseguir. El curtido es perfecto y no tan agrio, también obviamente recién hecho ya que es crujiente. Es un restaurante dirigido por una doña, así que no esperaría un servicio súper rápido como el McDonalds jaja. Creo que si este lugar tuviera más reconocimiento, podría tener un personal mas grande y puede ser tan popular como lo era hace 7 años. El lugar necesita reformas, pero es una manera fantástica de conseguir unas pusas deliciosas y baratas allí, sólo tienes que llamar con antelación y recogerlas!

Just a quick review, this is a straight Salvadoran restaurant. Dated inside but I came just for the pupusas. They were big, not too doughy, not too dense. Crispy, soft, and ooey gooey with cheese and chicharron inside. The curtido (pickled cabbage/carrot slaw w/ oregano) was homemade, just right and served with mild salsa.There are other items too yet to try. In house bread bakery and grocery market.

My mother and I were in the area when she noticed this salvadorian store (izalco) was still there from many years ago. She remembered they made pupusas so we decided to go inside to try there food.. First thing I noticed was this horrible smell (septic tank?) that was coming from the bathroom gross!!! The place was out dated and empty but for some reason we still sat down to eat. This lady came to take our order and when we got our food the plates and silverware where all miss matched, there was MOLD in our plastic cups so we asked for new ones which also had mold and the pupusas were undercooked on the inside. To top it all of she got our order wrong how does that happen when you only have to people to wait on I dont understand. Finally when we got up to pay she was asking us what we ordered so she could check us out wth?! Wouldnt go back wouldnt recomend to anyone definitely in need of a huge change.
