“ A mom and pop authentic restaurant with great food and prices! My Honduran wife loves when I stop by this restaurant to bring something home and surprise her! ”
“ Awesome customer service! Food is hot and authentic. The overall experience is a great reflection of El Salvador culture. ”
“ My wife and I had a craving for pupusas and Yelp recommended this place. We ordered 2 bean and cheese, 2 chicken and cheese with a side of rice and beans. Everything we had was delicious! The chicken and cheese was a 9.7/10. If we ever make our way back to Tampa we will for sure be stopping here agai ”
“ Tasty. We enjoyed pork with plantain, a chicken tamale and a variety of pupusas. I liked how the pupusas came with a generous amount of lightly dressed shredded cabbage! ”
“ Amazing food and service. Moved from Miami and I thought I wasn't going to find anything like the ones down there and was really delicious ”
“ I LOOOOVE this place! Service is fast - whether it's to-go or dine-in. Their staff is always kind and helpful, and they're incredibly friendly! The building is small and parking can get sticky, but the wait never gets too long for a table. I recommend getting to-go if it gets busy - the food travels well. The food and the coffee is typically excellent. I always go for pupusas, because I'm a creature of habit, and they're never a disappointment. Their prices have increased over the years, but it's still very reasonable for what you get! ”
“ Just recalling my meals here motivates me to drive over to Tampa to order them again. The food is simply delicious. One time I ordered the wrong thing and was still blown away by how tasty it was! (#24 if you're wondering: flour tortilla with beans, cheese, and sour cream.) Dine in or carry out, I have a feeling you'll be really pleased. ”
“ Really enjoyed Pupuseria. Came here on a Friday afternoon as the father-in-law was craving some home cooked food; he's Salvadorian. We read the reviews and decided to give it a shot. Atmosphere: - Exactly what we expected. Authentic setup with lots of décor representing the types food served. They play classic music and the vibe overall is warm, inviting, and fun. Service: - The service is good. We've both eaten here and taken food out and had strong service each time. When we called in our order is ready when we arrived and everyone we dealt with was very nice. Food: - The food is very good and at unbelievably reasonable prices. - Pupusas are good with a few varieties and what you'd expect in terms of flavor. We had some leftovers and they heated well the next day. - The chicken quesadillas was delicious. - Steak and onion with a fried egg was perfectly cooked and had tons of flavor. - The maduros were sweet and came with a delicious sauce. - The flan is outstanding; one of the best we've ever had. - Overall, not only is the food priced right, but it's simple food with lots of flavor. We plan to come back here; just wish it was a little closer! ”
