Doña Lola's

Loved the beans Pupusa with the sides. The cake/bread was fresh. Partner got the Pork pupusa and loved it too. Service is a bit slow at rush hour so don't go there hangry

I accidentally posted a review for the wrong place!! It won't let me delete the review. Sorry

TL;DR - cash only for good-sized pupusas with some tasty curtido and condiments. Long line and the menu is inconveniently on the bottom half of their booth, but a worthwhile option at the Portland Saturday Market.____________________FOOD/DRINKS-- Pupusa with pork, beans, cheese - so tasty and delicious and melty and satisfying. These are made fresh to order, and it might take them a moment to get it into your hands, but hopefully that's a good sign because they are BUSY. The pupusa and the tomato sauce are also piping HOT, so make sure to grab a few napkins to cushion the plate if you don't have fireproof hands. The only downside is that depending on who plates yours, the curtido portion might be a little skimpy.STAFFOne of the girls seemed to be moving at a snail's pace, but we can't all be expeditors, right? The main lady (Dona Lola????) and the other girl were on top of it, though.SPACE/LOCATIONThey're right in the thick of the Market's row of food stalls. I honestly don't understand how the food stalls are set up at the Market. because there's insufficient room for lines of people waiting to order, for those waiting for their food, and for people to eat. BUT these pupusas are pretty dang good.

Pupusas! Tamales! Tacos! Sí! Sí! Sí! Just say Sí to Doña Lola's Authentic Pupusas, Tamales, and Tacos food stand at the always busy Portland Saturday Market. On beautiful days in the Spring and Summer, the line for Doña Lola's will be long ... and for good reason ... 3 good reasons: Pupusas, Tamales, y Tacos.Note: Cash only.Doña Lola's makes their own hand-made corn tortillas and it makes all the difference in the world. Also, get one of the fresh Pineapple Juices or a Horchata as a drink. If you can't choose what to order, I'd say share all three with a friend. Otherwise, I rank them in this order:Pupusas! Tamales! Tacos! In life, always say Yes to new adventures and always say Sí to Doña Lola's.

Delicious vegetarian pupusas (and many other options)! I was pleasantly surprised after ordering that the pupusas were made to order. It took a little over 5 minutes to make but was well worth the short wait. The owners are super friendly and were even able to make my friend a custom low carb plate. Definitely give them a try when you're at the Saturday market!

A $3 taco at the Portland Saturday Market. They're about the only booth I'd book mark for sure for those visiting.The booth is family run and is cash only. The taco was very good and much better than expected. A true street taco with high quality carne asada pieces and mind you, living in the Bay Area I'm spoiled with pretty good tacos.The kids working were great. Need some extra cilantro or salsa? They can make it happen. I'd have no problem coming straight to this booth the next time I'm in town for the Saturday market.

I love their food, they work hard and they are very friendy ! find them at the portland saturday market.

Why doesn't this place have more reviews or pictures? It's really really good food! I am a huge pupusa fan (a fan of the food and the word). Each pupusa is made to order. The pupusa lady grabs some masa de maiz, forms a small tortilla in her hand, stuffs it with pork, cheese and/or beans, then adds a top layer before frying it on the flattop until it reaches a beautiful and crispy goodness! It's topped with the traditional slaw, pico, sour cream and sauce all on the side. I'm already dreaming about more pupusas....

I got a bean pupusa without crema (yay for wheat and dairy allergies!) .. when i mentioned my allergies, she even showed me the packaging on the masa to show me that it was gluten free. You can see her making the pupusas by hand .. she told me it would be about 6 minutes, so I just walked a little around the market before coming back just in time to get my fresh pupusa. Riquisisima! And incredibly comforting on a rainy day. Also she let me practice my Spanish with her haha. Muchas gracias por todo :)

Best Aunthentic Mexican soul food for everyone who likes real food. I go to eat at Dona Lola's every Saturday.
