👍 Looking for a new local pupusa spot and came across this one. (Unfortunately, the family ran one in Atlantic Plaza closed down. That was the spot!) It literally took an hour for El Buen to make the 2 pupusas and yucca fries I ordered but it was fresh and hot when I got home. I guess pupusa take tha... People often mention good, pupusas,

    Looking for a new local pupusa spot and came across this one. (Unfortunately, the family ran one in Atlantic Plaza closed down. That was the spot!) It literally took an hour for El Buen to make the 2 pupusas and yucca fries I ordered but it was fresh and hot when I got home. I guess pupusa take that long as I could hear the person in the kitchen making them! Covid era - the inside was very clean and spaced out. The customers were respectful of space! The menu on google is not the same pricing as in the restaurant.

    The service is good. You will wait for the food to be freshly prepared, but it was well worth the wait! Prices are good and matches with the community.

    Food is all smashed as they put everything in one bag , I got home and had to go back since I was short by 3pupusas . They need to do better, everything is stuck and it came apart as I try to serve my kids , I don’t think I would be back here . Definitely a bad experience and food was super greasy and tasted poorly not worth what I payed.

    Always check your order they never give you what you order correct and check your receipt cause they over charge you specially if you get items they sell outside the menu like coffee bottles or sweet bread I paid $88 dollars for 12 pupusas 1 order of yuca and 1 cafe listo y 1 semita I was over charge $26 dollars last time I order from here

    If you like pupusas, this is the place to go. Friendly staff, though it would help if you know a little Spanish. I take that as a sign the food is authentic. It can get a little busy depending on the time if day.

    I usually got to Lunch here and order 1 hour ahead and just a few minutes from my job I love the Pupusas and plantain empanadas. My Coworkers and I Love It Here.

    If you want papusa stop reading and go now. Best papusa I have ever had. Kinda long wait 15 min + but that's average with any papusa spot. Super traditional. 10/10

    It was actually pretty tasty food... Salpicon was good with handmade tortillas and rice taste good. Plato tipico shared is a good option and with an ice cold glass of Horchata makes it good 👍👍👍

    No llegue con hambre!!! Don't come hungry!!! Food is really good, but you'll have to wait 1 hour if you dine in. The staff is kind, just understaffed.

    Pretty good pupusas. Not greasy. I liked the chicharron y frijoles better than loroco y queso as the ingredients were more balanced (mostly cheese, not much loroco in that one) Curtido isn't spicy and mildly flavored with oregano.

    5 stars cause 6 isn't an option fire papusas great sauce and beans it's great for pitt to have something this good

  • 5/5 Fernando C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here. $3.50 / pupusa seems to be the new normal price. Fresh and delicious. 30 min wait but that’s the point of a restaurant. Chat with friends and family and enjoy your meal.
