👍👍 Recommend by a co-worker. I've been there three days in a row. It's everything you hope for in a "hole in the wall". Reasonable prices and GREAT food. I'm going to have to stop myself from going every day.😋 People often mention pupusas, amazing, small, delicious, cheese,

    I have been searching for this exact kind of place close to home for years, and I finally found it! It's a hole in the wall with amazing, authentic food - particularly birria tacos midweek. I tried a pupusa for the first time, and now I don't know if I'm more addicted to quesabirria or pupusas. Well, I can get both here and eat like a queen for less than $15. Day made!

    My first visit and I'm extremely impressed. A lot of places claim they have the best food, which I know better to believe that. I've been fooled one too many times. But when you go to a place that serves barbacoa and it doesn't come with tons of grease, you know the cooks know what they're doing. Besides, the food is simply delicious 😋

    Like Pupusas? You will. This place is delicious, friendly and fast. I have never had a Spinach, Jalapeño, and Cheese pupusa until now and we’ll let’s just say…”Yes, please!” This is like having a little piece of El Salvador right here in Cleburne TX. So just check out the menu (pictured) and order up!

    I love the pupusas here! I always the the spinach jalapeno mixed with chicken and it's amazing. They also have birria tacos and aguas frescas.

    Our first time trying today, we’ve never had anything like this. We tried three different pupusas and they were all good. The slaw was awesome! They take 15 minutes to make fresh. We will go again.

    I was excited when I saw Pupusas in Cleburne, very few places have them. These were absolutely amazing. I had the chicken and cheese, the just cheese and the jalapeño, spinach and cheese. They were all very flavorful and full of the fillings. I will DEFINITELY be back! The lady who helped me was very nice and they have a nice shaded area to wait for your food and a picnic table to eat at if you're just stopping for a quick bite. Great place!

    There was so much oil in my burrito I can’t even eat it. Meat tasted like dog food. I don’t know who is cooking today but I was so nasty I’ll never order again

    Im not one to leave reviews, but this place deserves a good one. I want to preface this by saying I only tried their pupusas. I have only had pupusas one other time, from a friends mom who grew up in El Salvador and spent most of her time there. In comparison, these blew my expectations out of the water. Incredibly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, with AMAZING slaw and salsas. The meat inside was tender and almost melted in your mouth. I got pork and cheese, chicken and cheese, and spinach jalapeño and cheese pupusas. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone, and I’m hoping to try the others very soon! Overall, this place is amazing. Incredibly authentic, clean, quick, well-priced food that gives your taste buds a one way ticket to El Salvador! I’ll be back VERY soon 😁

    This restaurant is mostly a take-out restaurant. There's an inside, but it's tiny and I've only ever used the drive thru. The food is amazing!!!!! Birria Taco plate is amazing!!! I'm addicted!!! I also love the pupusas! Be prepared for your mouth to burn on some of them. Or ask if they can add less jalapenos. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant or the lovely people that work there!!!!

    I only gave 4 stars because the place is pretty small. They were still accommodating to my family of 5. Amazing food ! Kid friendly.

  • 5/5 Chase 11 months ago on Google
    Wow. Great food! Had no idea that I could get pupusas so close to home.

  • 5/5 Caitlyn H. 11 months ago on Google
    Wow, what a hidden gem! My fiancé and I have been trying to find an authentic pupusa restaurant and this is the one. We tried a little bit of everything and it was all fantastic. Stop by for a delicious meal and wonderful service. We will be back for sure!

    Small local business. It appears to be family ran. Friendly staff and good service. Food served hot and tasty. Prices appear to me fair. Mexican food is prepared here. Several items on the menu to choose from. Breakfast and lunch served. Closed on Sunday. Drive through and dine in available.

    Seriously excellent food here. Right smack dab in a small town is the best quality Latin American food that I’ve ever had in Texas. I thought I could only find Burria tacos in California, but they are here and truly delicious. The execution of the pupusas as well as the ingredients (handmade, of course) are top notch and worth the drive if you’re coming from any place in the Metropex. Although this may be a small thing to some, the sauces are also homemade and perfect. If it’s authentic El Salvadoran cuisine for which you’re looking, this is a must try for anyone claiming to be a foodie or connoisseur. Although in a small, unassuming white house tucked into a neighborhood, it’s charming, and it’s simply not to be missed. I would choose this over any fine dining experience in the Metroplex for quality is simply superior.

    So I am new to the area and I'm trying to find good food so I just stopped by today. The staff was nice but when I got home I was very disappointed about my Carne Guisda. The portion was small and I only had 3 small pieces of meat with lots of potatoes and carrots which I have never had inside of my Carne Guisda before and both of which I do not eat. So a waste of money now I have to go find a main dish to go with my rice and beans. Needless to say I will not be returning to this place.
