I took a friend from Iran here because he loves trying other culture's foods. The people at Pupuseria Casa Maria were so happy to cater to him and guide his ordering! He absolutely loved everything he had.I had a chicken and queso pupusa, as well as a loroco and queso pupusa. The loroco one was by far my favorite one I've had there after two visits. So tasty and different!The flan is also very good.Always a fun lunch spot with other people coming and going.

Did you know that rice stops salt mobs? Throw a few grains in your shaker to prevent clumps from forming. I may have never learned this without stepping into this room of flavor.Perturbed by my first nuke of text messages since the 10th grade I retreated to a safe haven. Any spot that serves doughy, meaty, cheesy discs warms my wounded soul like the embrace of a rotund retiree named Marge. A trifecta platter of papusas (all with cheese) included chicharron, chorizo and a recommendation of steak. The recommendation reigned supreme. Albeit the serviceability of the former two, Team Asada simply overwhelmed the competition. It was a bombastic dump of salted satisfaction which brewed a number of "mm" sounds and a chair shift or two.If you don't like yellow then get your food to-go. Otherwise, sit around and dump coleslaw (I think?) all over your plate while you count the work trucks bumbling down Michigan Road. Enjoy my friends.

Ah, I finally got to try this restaurant. I ate their chicken (and potato) tamale, their steak and cheese pupusas, and churro with chocolate. They were good and unique. I would be interested in trying other menu items like their tacos.

We are visiting Indiana from Texas and found this AMAZING tasty restaurant. Place is clean, service was great and loved the 80's, 90's pop Latin music. We ordered, Fried yuca, beef soup (enough for 2 if you eat small portions), zucchini and cheese, chicken and cheese and pork and cheese pupusas . Good size and not grease! The complementary sauces go well with everything. I totally recommend this place

This place is really good signage on their menu and lists everything on the menu really clearly with English translations and also shows whether things are vegetarian and gluten-free so this is really celiac friendly. The server was really friendly as well and he made sure to let us know how to eat pupusas (with the cabbage ) in case this was not our first time. Everything was good. Not exactly cheap though but I think it was worth the price. This was the first time I have seen pupusas with an alpastor option though I didn't get to try it this time so I will have to be back. Also, this is my first time seeing flan and red velvet cake as a combined dessert.

The pupusas here are delicious. I haven't been in a bit because I love their tamales. They were taken off the menu for a bit but I saw they were back so I stopped in. When I went in it was a Saturday afternoon so they were pretty busy. I had about a 20min wait for a takeout order which I think was totally worth it. If you don't want to wait that long just call and place a takeout order. I got chicken tamales and pupusas one steak and one chorizo. I will definitely be putting this back into my rotation.

Since we moved to Cincinnati back in 2007, we've made a point to visit Chicago every year or two--usually for a long weekend in the spring or fall. The drive, of course, mostly takes you through Indiana, and we've long been dismayed by dining options along I-74 and I-65. (That's true, of course, of interstate dining just about everywhere.). It's almost entirely a dismal parade of sad fast food. And when you drive through Indianapolis itself on those interstates, there appears to be little in the way of dining options near the interstate exits.We weren't digging deep enough, or looking far enough off of the interstates. The wife discovered before this last trip that Indianapolis crushes Cincinnati when it comes to Salvadoran food options. But you do have to drive a few minutes off of the interstate to get to them.Like many (most?) Salvadoran restaurants in the United States, Pupuseria Casa Maria is modest and homey, with just 8 or 10 tables and order-at-the-counter service. The staff here is super-friendly, and you can observe that they prepare your pupusas to order. They came out piping hot, fresh, and tasty. Loroco & cheese and revueltas (meat, cheese, & bean) were both excellent, and the curtido was tangy and bracing (although I wish there had been a little more of it). FWIW, the chalkboard-like menu has some Mexican fare on it, too.Pupuseria Casa Maria, at least on this day, was distinguished by the music on the sound system, which sounded like a Spanish-language version of '80s and '90s new wave and indie rock (although who knows when this stuff was actually recorded). Given my (older) age, I liked it.Case Maria is definitely a good one.

I have driven by countless times over the last few years, and have always said I'm going to try them one day. Today was that day, and now I am kicking myself for not visiting earlier! The pupusas I ordered were dense and packed with flavor. The gentleman I ordered from was ultra-friendly, and understood I wasn't a native Spanish speaker. He went well above and beyond.My next visit, I will go with something a little more adventurous, but now that I've been here and have tasted authentic pupusas, there's more to try!A quaint little store on the northeast side. Definitely go hungry, because you will eat well. Can't wait to return!

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The pupusas are amazing and if you've never tried them - yes you like them (here). But their street tacos are to die for as well!Kindest staff ever.
