El Izote

I am so glad that I found this place! I have a soft spot for popusas, and El Izote makes fabulous popusas. The folks working at the restaurant are friendly and provided really excellent service -- they even gave me a couple extra salvadoran sauces when I requested them. :) The restaurant itself is comfortable, casual, and cozy. A great spot for families to sit down and eat a meal together. No unnecessary flares, just really good food.

Best pupsas in Sacramento. Great customer service too! The fried plantains were perfect and not overly fried. Place was nice and clean.

Was looking for a spot to eat around work and this El Salvadorian restaurant may be my favorite restaurant in sac. It's a hole in the wall and gets super busy so I would call ahead of time for sure as they're all made fresh to order. My favs were the beef stew and pollo!! Beans, rice and 2x pupusa combo was only $12.99 what a steal. Wasn't too oily and the perfect amount of meat to cheese ratio. I'm going back here weekly!

Wonderful family owned business. We both tried the pollo asada plate and were very happy with the flavors and quality. It was a combo of thigh/drumstick with rice, beans, and salad. Only a limited selection of bottles and cans for beverages. Will definitely try the pupusas next time!

I ordered empanadas de maduro to go . It was Delicious. Very nice staff and clean place. I'm sureTo order again.

First time here to try their pupusas. Menu is on a board behind the counter. Would be better if the pricing was also listed as we were deciding. We were able to place an order quickly but did wait a while for our food. There was only two ladies working together.Our pupusas tasted fresh and were huge in size. Just wish it was more crispy. Will try again if in the area again.

Amazing pupusas and service. It's unbelievable more people don't traffic this place as the food is soo good. You won't find it better made than here.

Quaint inside. Menu was difficult to locate (it's behind the cashier on a chalk board). Tried the chicken soup and the bean and cheese pupusa. Both items were decent could've been more flavorful. The cabbage mix for the pupusa was slightly pickled (I prefer it more picked). The sauce they give for the pupusa was also lacking in flavor. The soup was good as is- when adding the onion, cilantro,rice and squeeze of lime it amplified the soup quite a bit.

Delicious pupusas. My new place to go for pupusas. Excellent!! Staff very friendly and professional

I love coming here when craving pupusas! I used to go to la flor but this is definitely a competitor lol.
