Pupuseria la salvadoreña

Previously named El Pulgarcito, this place has been around for the last few (5+) years and has amassed quite the following because of its simplicity and great food. Their service surpasses anyone else selling pupusas/Salvadoran eats in the area. You are greeted quickly upon seating yourself in this former BK, and although the place lacks any kind of extravagant decor or amenities, their food is on point and the service is friendly. Everything from pupusas, massive traditional breakfast platters, to their more standard dishes (caldos/stews, tortas, and tacos). You'll find something to love here. Last time we were in, we tried riguas (a compressed corn patty) which were a little drier IMO than others I've had, but I'm undeterred and don't mind trying anything from here. For now I'll stick to my usual of pupusas and fried plantains. La Salvadoreña is by far a family and personal favorite and I will most definitely be back again and again.

La comida es muy deliciosa el servicio muy bueno pero el dueño tiene que poner más esfuerzo en su negocio. No tiene aire acondicionado y es imposible comer ahí adentro. Puso tres ventiladores y no es suficiente para el lugar tan grande. Tengo un año viniendo y siempre es lo mismo mucho calor

So glad to have found this great pupuseria! Nice variety of menu at reasonable prices and tasty pupusas!I arrived there at night and for a second they were closed because their restaurant name sign was not lit, but they did have the "open" sign lit so I went inside. They have very minimal decorations inside- no music, just a TV on really loud. But many times this type of places are a hit than a miss! (Based on my experience) I ordered a few pupusas and tacos to go and was told the food would be ready in 10 minutes- however it took 35 minutes. it's okay if they are busy but I think they could have just told me at one point it would take much longer than expected. There seemed to be just two people working there. There was someone who was waiting longer than I was. It was very cold inside which did not help when I was waiting for so long. I was disappointed with the wait time, however the pupusas were amazing. The hot sauce and slaw(?) that came with them were great too. I especially liked the one with chicken and cheese. In the future I will always call ahead of time to place an order rather than waiting there, and I advise everyone to do so.

Yoo i came to this restaurant and it was actually really good me and my family wanted something new to try and we didn't think this restaurant would be this amazing words can't describe their cheese filled pancakes (pupusas)

Fabuloso absolutely fabulous. The Papusas were fantastic, the flan desert was divine. The melon and pina agua Fresca were delicious. The service was prompt. Everything was fresh. I can't say enough

I've had a few Salvadorean dishes at events but this was my first time going into their restaurant..which is really crazy since they are only a few blocks from my house. The restaurant was clean. The staff friendly. The menu had the item descriptions in English as well as Spanish (greatly appreciated!). I ordered fried tilapia and corn tamales. With the servers recommendation, ordered a pineapple drink that was fantastic. While I was enjoying my delicious food I saw a couple of customers order soup so ordered the fish and shrimp soup to bring home. While I'm going to have it for dinner tonight, I did try a few bites and it was also very good. Now, if you like your food spicy, you'll want to doctor up the dishes I got. My stomach doesn't appreciate spicy so all of it, soup included, was perfect. I will definitely be making this a routine stop!

I wanted to try something different for lunch, OMG...the food is so good! I totally recommend this place.

Most authentic you'll find and makes great leftovers. Crunchy meat, soft, fluffy tortillas and papusas, sweet caramelized plantain, and perfectly seasoned beans. Reminds you of honduras/el salvador 11/10
