Yummy pupusas and friendly owner. We'll be back.
FUN FACT: If you look closely, you'll realize that this place is right across the boxing gym used in the Netflix series, "13 reasons why".But just a heads up, before coming here just know IT IS A CASH ONLY STORE. Be prepared, I came with $40 but only ended up spending $10. Not so bad for 2 pupusas that stuffed me (mind you I had an empty stomach). There is not much parking, they only offer street parking which is limited.Walking in you order & then sit down. The inside looks a bit run down, the area where you dine in has displays that look like they haven't been cleaned in awhile, the color scheme seems like I walked into an episode of "I love Lucy" or "pleasantville", but I suppose the adds to the charm of it. The seat I sat by was located right next to the screen door that they leave locked. It was like a movie. The heat from the outdoor creeped into the seating area as the lady walked my order over. I imagined a low rider outside & the voices outside linger in. And in the background, I could hear the grill in the kitchen sizzling.The pupusas were so good. I had planned on eating 5 pupusas but forgot how filling the dish would be. I did not even have a drink to accompany the food. I enjoyed the empty store and took time to look at the artifacts inside the building. I left more than satisfied.
Out of this world Pupusas with generous sides. Beware the crazy baggies the extras come in, bring a spill proof carrier!
Authentic home cooked with Salvadorian food. The food is always consistent and they bring it out to your carOnly takes cash.
Moving from a Salvodorean home in LA back to the bay, I hoped to find pupusas and Salvodorean horchata de morro in Vallejo. The pupusas were delicious and although they didn't have horchata prepared, they carry the mix which was great. I really loved the curtido and the salsa as well. My dad tried the pupusa de Pollo con queso for the first time and loved it. I am vegetarian and liked that the lady separated my nonmeat pupusas from the ones with chicken. Great first impression ?? ? will definitely tell everyone about this pupusería ♡
Damn. Just... damn. This place is a gem (cash only). We got chicharron con queso. Fattest, most tender pupusas we've found in the Bay Area. Absolutely packed with tasty pork and cheese, griddled to crispy brown perfection. Curtido is a little more sour and tender than many others we've had and cuts the grease nicely. We scarfed our pupusas while standing around our car, so we didn't get to try the red sauce. Owner was super friendly and seemed to appreciate that we actually knew what curtido was. There's an attached convenience market with Salvadoran stuff. Only con is parking can be a challenge. So glad we get to visit Vallejo regularly. We will be coming back for more.
Bug in my food embarrassed I’ve recommended this place to others.Place is not the cleanest looking inside and out but always had decent food but this is not acceptable
Always on point ... proper Pupusas and friendly ownership. Support small businesses. CASH ONLY.
Good customer service, even better food! Also picked up some horchata mix. Worth the buy.
Delicious TAKE OUT ONLY. Seriously good food, at a moderate price. It takes a few minutes, but is worth the wait.
