Pupusa Restaurant

While the name of the restaurant might not be particularly imaginative, this neighborhood Salvadoran eatery certainly delivers with a variety of piping-hot pupusas (and when I say piping hot, my goodness do they come out hot - use the accompanying curtido - a slaw - to regulate the temperature in your mouth). The plantains with cream are a delicious accompaniment. I also tried a chicken tamale but was a bit underwhelmed - I'll stick with the pupusas and plantains.

This a bustling popular place. It is very inexpensive and simply delicious authentic food. We chose a chicharron y queso pupusa which comes with a side of slaw and hot sauce. It is like a stuffed corn pancake.

Delicious pupusas made to order. My favorite is the bean, cheese and pork, but the loroco is good too. They come out piping hot and so tasty! The curtido served with the pupusas is super fresh and the salsa complements the pupusas perfectly! Definitely my go to place when I'm craving pupusas.

Delicious- hot and fast. Highly recommend the squash pupusas, beans, and the platanos fritos. Our new go to pupusa place!!

Really good pupusas just take a bit to come out.I understand their made fresh so they take a bit only thing is restaurant is just regular but regular is ok overall Good

Good and filling food. I recommend trying the pupusa here. The pastelitos is also good. Tamale de pollo is ok. Make sure to try their refresco.This place can become a regular if I live in the area.

Eight years later, this isn't a buffet restaurant anymore as Pupusa Buffet is now shortened to simply Pupusa. Not sure if they are still part of the Cocina Latina chain, since I order everything through delivery apps these days and can't view the paper menus. Besides, the cafeteria ambience encourages takeouts.What I like about this place is that the food is still cheap, there are plenty of options beyond pupusas, and I like the crisp fresh curtido and salsa. I really like their thick red bean tamales which are wrapped in banana leaves which impart their flavours further if you were to resteam or microwave them. I also like that they have ayote (squash) pupusas in addition to the traditional vegetarian options of loroco and beans.

This is truly authentic and original food. You wouldn't know you weren't in the country have food in a cafe there, if you hadn't walked in off the streets of Houston.

Here you will definitely get your bang for your buck. Meals under $7 and very tasty. Really good portions and different options. I've been here many times and not once have i had something i didn't like.

Great taste and fast service most of the time. It does get busy during lunch, so keep that in mind. Definitely worth it.
