Zipotes Restaurant

Pupusas are first rate; not the best I've ever had but very very good; light, not greasy.Cabbage is a bit too spicy but good. Rice was fine (Salvadoran Mexican, just fyi).I'd prefer green sauce, but they don't offer it.Good value, takes a while for fresh pupusas (which it should), just fyi.

My parents and I nearby and we were craving papusas real bad. Found this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. The parking was tough and the wait was a little long, but the papusas were made by order so I don't mind. A cute little restaurant with lots on the menu and El Salvadorian pride everywhere. My order:We ordered 5 Revueltas (pork, cheese, and fried beans) and 2 extra papusas to go. Both the To-go order and the plates came with curtido and the salsa. They were good and very fresh, so fresh that my dad wanted to take the leftover curtido home and they just gave us an extra bag of it!!

This little restaurant serves good food. They have the typical Salvadoran plates. I went for the breakfast - it satisfied my craving. The handmade tortillas were thick and moist. The coffee was good. Also, for nostalgia or if you want to try, they sell Salvadoran snacks. I support local Salvadoran businesses and owners. In the heart of hearts, they're trying and this is how they make their living, and it's not easy these days. The fact that they ask for payment before you get your order is probably because they've been burned many times before and can't afford to lose anymore.

My son and I had a hankering for pupusa for lunch today. We usually get take out and have it at home, but its totally different (and much tastier!) to have them freshly prepared and hot off the grill. For the two of us, two revuelta pupusa (pork, beans and cheese) and one order of two pastelitos de carne (fried Salvadorian empanadas) with an ample sides of curtido (slaw) and salsa roja was a fully satisfying weekend lunch. Several hot sauces on the table. Washed down with a Mexican Fanta of course.Very barebones decor with just a Salvadorian flag on the wall. I often go to restaurants outside of my comfort zone and would never ding owner who might roll their eyes some clueless gringo trying to order. The man at the counter was welcoming and helpful despite my mangling of the menu. We'll be back.

I was in Menlo Park for work and had some down time. Zipotes was the solution. The sweet man at the counter told me it was going to be 30 minutes. I got the combo. A sweet milk empanada, a chicken Tamal, and two pork Pupusas. It was worth the wait. Absolutely delicious! I loved everything. The Pupusas were divine. The Tamale had lots of chicken inside and was steamed in a banana leaf then neatly wrapped in parchment paper.Everything tasted fresh and made to order. The sweet milk Empanada had a bar of milk with the consistency of cream cheese. The dough tasted like plantains. It was a perfect side dish to everything else and was unique. When you can't get down to El Salvador to dine beachside - go to Zipotes. Lovely people and great food made with love.

Beware ... this restaurant has now changed its name from Zipotes to Cipotes. I'm not sure why but the people are all still the same.

I am a true believer in difficult times we must come together as a community and support our local business. So here we are Zipotes restaurants Due to the shelter in place take out is the safest option and these guys were amazing Staff Very helpful and attentive Pictures worth a thousand words

The food was delicious and the customer service was great. My husband and I like the place

This used to be our favorite place for pupusas. Last few times they haven't been good with them tasting rancid the last time we went there. Bummer, but no more zipotes for us.

Looooove the food. The pupusas are really amazing, freshly made and delicious flavors. Many different types and family owned restaurants. I will definitely recommend
