I can't believe that I have not yet reviewed La Paz Restaurant Pupuseria! This is a small, local Mexican restaurant right across from San Francisco General Hospital on Potrero Avenue. My colleagues and I have been coming here for our lunch for many years. This is the perfect place to get tasty, and authentic Mexican food. It's convenient, fast, and with outstanding service and delicious meals. Pupusas are freshly made upon your order. The traditional beef soup is incredibly yummy which is served with fresh vegetables. Street tacos are great too. I highly recommend it.

Always a pleasure and excellent experience. The food is always really delicious with authentic flavors and served with a warm smile. Super convenient if you're in the Mission District and ample parking is available. This is a very good place come and decompress if you're visiting the hospital across the street with much better food than the cafeteria.

La Paz was ok. I tried their "Combo 3," which comes with two pupusas and one tamale. It totaled just shy of $16 after tax. I tried the revueltas & spinach pupusas. I'm not sure if I came at an off time (it was later in the afternoon), but they didn't taste fresh...it felt as though they had been re-heated (they cheese wasn't super melty, for example). Also, I think the spinach pupusas could have been stuffed a little more. The tamale was good, exactly what you'd expect from a tamale, and nothing to write home about. Given the abundance of pupuserias in the area, I think I will try my luck elsewhere in the future.

Service is always amazing, The lady who works the front as a server and register has top tier customer service. Amazing vibes and super kind. I love the bossa nova pop covers that are playing in the background. When I need my pupusa fix during lunch I come here. The fillings are ooozing and I love the soft and crispy contrast of the pupusa. The crab enchiladas are uh-may-ziiiiiiing. My coworkers in the ED brag about these, I finally ordered them and can I see why the hype is foreal.

Great little spot serving up most Mexican staples. The pupusas were some of the best I've ever had, albeit a little more oily than I'm used to. At $4 per, slightly more expensive than the cheapest in the city but still reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

$11 for plantains is a bit much. I thought they overcharged me but I called and they said that Yelp is just not updated. Pupusas are okay & place is clean.

Straight fire. Super reasonable price for what you get.Pupusas are made fresh in front of you. The cabbage is perfectly acidic slightly sweet and very homemade.Food is solid and what you expect out of a pupusaria. Hard to hate on what they're doing. Service is impeccable as well. Such kind staff.

A good on the go spot. Got take out from here and food was still warm by the time I got home. Burrito was grilled after being which I always appreciate! Papusas are also super yummy and comes with the perfect amount of sides. Overall pretty decent and good for when you don't know what else to do. I just felt the food wasn't super special so that's why it's 4/5 stars for me!
