We visited two days ago and I still haven’t stopped thinking about this meal. SO DELICIOUS!!! We got combo two, which comes with two pupusas, beans, guacamole, crema and plantains for $16. We had the spinach and chipotle pupusas, and they were cooked perfectly and stuffed with the gooiest cheese. Also had chips and salsa for $1.50. Guacamole was so fresh and balanced. Only complaint was it took 25 minutes for our one plate, but I think I’d wait two hours for it in the future ??

Great value and we loved the mushroom & garlic pupusa. Plenty of indoor seating as well and the line moves decently fast.We ordered the #1 combo and 3 additional pupusas. Next time we would probably pass on the combo meal just because the sauces/beans didn’t add much (we did like the plantains though) and it’s a great deal for the pupusas alone. Our favorites ranked (of those we tried):1. Mushroom & garlic2. Beef3. Jalapeño4. Pork5. ChickenOverall a pretty tasty meal but I did feel a bit like I was eating cheese for dinner. Such a great price though and I imagine this would be a great late meal after a night out.

Phenomenal pupusas at good prices. Creamy, savory, outrageously cheesy, perfectly paired with the acidic curtido and spicy salsa. And open late! Probably my favorite restaurant in the Mission, a must try.

No complaints besides feeling that didn't get money's worth. I expected more than just a kid size palm amount for the sides of my meal. Fried plantains were delicious though.

Amazing pupusaria! It's about $5 per pupusa. My favorite are the combo plates that include fried plantains. Expect a wait, the service is a bit slow but it's always so worth it. Last time I went there was live music while I was eating.I always gotta get those horchatas :)

Delicious! Staff was very friendly. It was freezing inside with the door open but the food was so good it was worth it.

The pupusas were delicious albeit took a long time. The place was really busy at the time and they did let me know that it would be a 20 minute wait. The inside of the place is quite nice and there's pretty comfortable outdoor seating

If you are looking for something different, this is the place. They have a large variety of papusas, but all of them have cheese, so not a good choice for vegans. There is plenty of outside seating. Parking is a nightmare and very hard to find. However, there is a paid parking lot just a 1 min walk. $3 per hour and totally worth not driving around endlessly looking for parking. Try Carne Asada. It's delicious too. They are open late. Fun area to walk around. Lots of great shops, so have a papusa and a bit of an adventure.

So yummy! The best pupusas I’ve eaten. The meal comes with 2 pupusas, guacamole, sour cream, salad and fried plantains and sauce. But they must be eaten as soon as possible. Love the pork filling :)

Best pupusas in the mission and excellent customer service!!They gave me the wrong dish which I realized only after getting home. Called them to just let them know, not expecting anything as it was a small order.But they fixed it immediately by delivering the right order to my place for free.Appreciate them going the extra mile for a small order of 1 pupusa :)
