"Pupusas were delicious here! I tried the Squash & Cheese, Loroco & Cheese, and Pork. The pupusas were served with pickled cabbage and two kinds of salsas. I personally didn't care for the salsas, but the pickled cabbage was the perfect addition to the pupusas. Two pupusas are enough to fill one person. They range between $3 - $4. They are made fresh to order and come out piping hot.While their pupusas seem to be a popular item showcased here on Yelp, I noticed that every single table ordered the Caldo de Gallina Criolla. This is a chicken soup that comes with a plate of chicken, rice, and freshly made corn tortillas. It looked delicious, and I look forward to coming back and trying it!Parking and seating are limited. People who work here are friendly. The menu posted on the wall doesn't have prices, but the takeout menu does."

"Pupusas here are very very good! I love coming here when I get those cravings. The horchata salvadoreña is delicious in my opinion. I know people have mixed reviews in regard to the horchata. I love the complimentary mini tortillas with beans they give you while you wait for your food. I ordered a pupusa de frijol con queso, 1 revuelta and a tamal ( I forgot the name ) lolI highly recommend this little restaurant. Mom and pop restaurants are always the best"

"We stopped by here for a large order of pupusas for a friends dinner. We ordered revuelta(mixed beans, pork, cheese). They were delicious and came with the sauce and pickled cabbage that pupusas come with. Our large order of pupusas took about twenty minutes to make. The restaurant itself is neat. A good number of people were eating here on the Saturday night we stopped by. Something about the large quantity of chips and just layout of the restaurant reminds me so much about El Salvador. Friendly service. As of Salvadorian heritage, I approve of the pupusas here. Go get yourself some, two is a good number to eat for dinner a person."

"My love for this tiny little Ma and PA operation has only gotten stronger especially with how consistent they are with the servings and quality. I always call before our arrival and it is our go to, especially for lunch.The homemade picante is perfect and "el curtido" is perfection.If you can over look the crusty shopping center and walk over the others just hanging out. You will be just fine but again it is going back into time.Just good old fashion good food. I LOVE their homemade tortillas. I love everything and so far I have never gotten sick. I love the prices too.It is located in the same shopping center as the 7 eleven.Plastic is accepted but be aware it takes them a good 30 minutes.No microwaves you can see the kitchen and try the "Agua de Frutas"One of personal favorite hole in the wall. Remember it is nothing special but your belly will be feeling really special because it is just pure soul food.Stellar Service! Love them so give them a go! Crossing with Grand and Fourth st.One set back I hate the fact, that they are closed on Tuesday.Otherwise one bite and it is what I call "A Volver a La Vida""Buen Provecho" and Enjoy the best soul food when it comes from Mexico and El Salvador. Love their masa and I am madly in love with the lady that makes the homemade tortillas."

"I have been to the San Sivar in Costa Mesa, and had a positive experience. I was happy to see that they opened a second location in HB nearer to me.I ordered about $30 of pupusas "para llevar" to go. The chiccharones y queso ones were excellent. The masa was soft, and there were a lot of fillings. Secondarily the curtido & salsa were very good. All my rellies I shared the pupusas with, liked them better vs the ones we typically buy from the food truck on Surf City nights.I believe the HB location is smaller vs the CM location. But it works. The HB location is quaint and homey. Likewise the service from the lady in front was very inviting. She told me how long they have been in biz, so I applaud them for being successful. I also applaud them for taking the risk in opening a new location in HB.I have already returned several times since my first visit that I am the Duke. Thats how much I like this place."

"Tucked away in a strip mall along Chapman, this spot can be easy to miss because the opening to its parking lot is not large. When you walk in, it looks like a convenience store and you order your pupusas at the counter behind a plexiglass shield. Each pupusa is $3.25. They're made fresh to order so there is a bit of a wait time. I ordered 6 and it took about 20 minutes. I tried the beans and cheese, loroco and cheese, and the onion and cheese ones. The filling in all of these is majority cheese and the onions, loroco, and beans are more like a seasoning in that there isn't a lot but you can still taste them. I enjoyed mine a lot, especially the loroco one which was slightly sweet and earthy. For $3.25, I expected them to be tiny, so I preferred 2 per person and these are filling enough where 1 or 1.5 per person is plenty. I would definitely go back to try more of their pupusas because the price and taste are worth it."
