El Sabor de Mercedes

It was hard searching for pupusas as close to home as possible and these are it! I'm a picky pupusa finder and I found these to be delicious and the service is as excellent. I felt lime I was back at home and they were extremely kind and professional with delicious food. I highly recommend!My friend got their carne asada tacos and they were excellent as well!

Darn! I forgot to take pictures because I went straight for it after DoorDash delivered. I got 2 kinds of pupusas: the shrimp & cheese, beef & cheese. Very tasty and hearty! In 2 separates containers, red sauce and marinated cabbage. It looked spicy but it wasn't. My kinda temp!Will definitely order from them if I'm craving pupusas!

When you see El Salvadoran food, the first thing you think of is Papusas. We went to try them. I'll tell you that it didn't disappoint. On the menu is also Mexican food. This makes sense, you need to know your target market. There is parking in the back. We walked to the front to be met with a metal door. We were lost for a second and decided to push the metal door. The place is an older place, and it seems very popular with the local people as it got busy. The papusas were delicious, I loved the crispy crust and the tender fillings. I also got the nachos. I love a place that can use shredded cheese versus a cheese sauce. To me that's authentic. Overall, this is a good go

Recently ordered delivery from here since I love pupusas! I ordered 3 of them: bean and cheese, bean cheese and pork and a jalepeno cheese. They are a good size for the price. The jalapeño cheese lacked flavor, but the others were yummy. I also ordered the garlic shrimp, which came with rice when beans. The beans were good. Texture of the rice was good, but lacked flavor and the garlic shrimp was good. I wish they would give a little more shrimp given the price, but was overall a good meal.

Food: Pupusas were tasty! I got the loroco/cheese, which tasted good. I wish there were a little less cheese and more loroco but it was still really good. The crudito that comes with it is amazing and definitely stand out as top notch! It has the right amount of vinegar and some spices (not spicy hot). Pupusas price was very reasonable. We also shared the Salvadorian chicken soup. I wasn't sure what to do here but we basically put the chicken in the soup with all the sauce and limes and rice. It tasted good, and with all the sauce was definitely a little spicy but had the right amount for me. The handmade tortillas on the side were a bit thicker than I would have liked. Generally could have done without the tortillas although appreciate the homemade effort. Overall I liked the dish but it was a bit pricey at $20 but it did come with a lot of components so I can understand the price. The agua fresca (or they call it agua de fruta) was amazing! Definitely get this! The menu is pretty extensive and I think they might benefit from specializing, since I saw amazing components but it felt like they were trying to do too much and not all of it had the same bar. Service: it was good! The person who took our order did explain the soup came with a plate so that was helpful. Food came out pretty quickly. Ambiance: this definitely feels like you stepped into another country and that's great. Can't comment on whether it's authentic but I enjoyed the experience of feeling like I wasn't in the US. It's a little noisy inside, but felt surprisingly calm for being off a busy intersection. We'll definitely be back for the pupusas and agua de fruta! And perhaps I'll try some other things.

Checked this place out for their pupusas a couple of times so far while walking around the neighborhood with my boyfriend and tried their jalapeno, loroco/cheese, revueltas, beef, and pork pupusas. Compared to the place I usually go to, this has a much thinner, floppier dough with a good amount of filling, especially for the cheese filled options. The curtido that comes with it needs more vinegar and oregano, but it was still refreshing with the greasiness of the pupusas. I will say that the salsa that comes with the order is amazing as are their refried beans and rice. I can definitely see this being a regular spot and I look forward to trying the rest of their menu items. Our takeout orders so far are typically 10-15 minute wait and the staff are pretty friendly.

Pupasas are the deal here. Crispy outside. Well stuffed inside. Lots of options such as loroco. Be prepared to wait because I think they make it to order.

Veg/vegan reviewer: oh! So worth it.Absolutely loved the fresh and flavorful vegan burrito bowl and the veggie burrito. These were so filling and tasty. It was a sumptuous lunch for less than $20, I am happy soul! I'd ordered a delivery so cannot comment on the ambiance yet but I need to eat here soon again.

Atienden mejor a los latinos. Me atendieron de mal gusto. Muy caro y no me dieron tortillas.

Delicious!! Ordered here at least three times so far. Will be going back again. My fav is the zucchini pupusa
