Really good food and fast service. May want to bring someone who speaks Spanish , especially if you don't know basic food ordering in Spanish. Multiple employees do not speak any English.

Some of the most authentic, delicious pupusas I've ever had! Previously I had to always ask my Salvadorian friend to have her husband make them for me... now I can go get them myself whenever I want. Definitely worth your visit. If you don't know basic Spanish, be sure to bring Google translate with you. Also- get the salsa verde, you're welcome.

These are very delicious pupusas--mine were bean and cheese. However there was a stapler in one of my pupusas and I notified the manager that this was not right, I shouldn't have to worry about what's in my food. I told her I didn't want to make a big deal, so I pulled her to the side, while I also provided her with the stapler. I support small business but this was scary for me. I was eating in the parking lot in case I wanted more--but that was enough for the day.

I've been ordering from here for a couple years now and not only are the pupusas tasty af, but the value is incredible. I call in the order and do takeout almost always so I can share the tasty food with family/friends. The pupusas are the size of a face which is awesome. My go to order is three pupusa revueltas + chicharrón con yuca frita. The pupusas are juicy and the meat to cheese ratio is *chef's kiss*. Honestly just good home cooking that takes me back to being a kid and eating pupusas with my neighbors. Chicharrón con yuca frita is well fried, crispy and so tender. The curtido is pickled to perfection and I love that they serve you a bunch cause I slather it on my pupusas. The salsa roja that's also included is fresh tasting and we'll made. Really love this spot and I noticed they moved into a larger location next to original which is super awesome for then cause they serve great food in a timely manner and the price point you can't beat!

A mom and pop shop. Not the fanciest restaurant so heads up. I had puposas and they were made on the spot and super delicious. They were bigger than what I'm used to, but no complaints there lol The curtido (which I am picky about) was really good! They let you grab as much as you wanted where in other places I've been too it's a limited portion. If you are craving salvadorian food I recommend this place to get your fix. I would prefer a nicer sit down restaurant that makes it homier and more comfortable, but for now this will do.

Best Pupusas in Austin by far, I know there may be other pupuserias you may have tried in El Salvador or another state here in USA but here, these are the ones you need to try! There's also this dish with fried beans and plantain along with cream, which is soo delicious, you gotta try it ~
