Neighborhood superstar which shows most major soccer games. An institution. They are primarily known for their pupusas , which come with significant fixins

SFGate

Pupusas ($2.50-$3.50 each), thick masa patties stuffed with a variety of fillings, are the star. But we especially loved the salpicon, a plate of chopped beef with fresh mint and crisp onions . Read more

The menu here is vast, but it's best to stick with the traditional Salvadoran specialties, listed separately from the other dishes. Pupusas , thick masa patties stuffed with fillings, are the star. Read more

Bommy

Minimum of 2 pupusas per person, $2.50 each. Favorites are the frijoles (beans) and ayote y queso (zucchini & cheese ). Better than quesadillas .

Debra Mugnani

Brought a mess of pupusas to my Mom for Mom's day and the family was a big thumbs up and wanted to get their address So, I'm not the only one that will be returning for more. Great service too.

The Pupusas are oh so delicious. I've tried them all, can't decide which kind is the best. Only bad thing is that on the weekends they are so busy and parking sucks.

Cindy Parthonnaud

Great chicken and pupusas , good place to watch football ! Very reasonably priced.

My first taste of El Salvadorian cuisine and I love it! My favorite are the pupusas . Fast friendly service .

Go to this soccer-obsessed El Salvadorian cheap eats spot and get some pupusas with a beer . Griddled masa, meat, cheese - what's wrong with that? Nothing. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
