Salvadorean Pupusas: Reviews & Ratings
This place makes wish I lived in the area. I've never had a pupusa before. It was excellent, paired with a chichen tamale, which was doughier than Mexican tamales, but good too. The folks there were so gracious and the prices good too.
Salvadoran Pupusas was Very delicious. I tried a Salvadoran tamale for the first time and it had chicken, potatoes and the maz was different than your traditional Mexican tamale but so good! Also had a traditional Mexican tamale and it was just as delicious as if I was personally making or a friend. Staff was great, I had a young man helping me and he was super sweet and got everything I asked for in a timely manner. Thank you guys for having this place here on the East Wenatchee avenue to get a to go order or just stop in for a quick bite! Gracious!
This is a very simple, authentic Central American style restaurant. The staff are from Honduras and El Salvador, and food is made from scratch in the traditional style. Sauces are excellent, and even the frozen desserts are made in-house. Prices are very fair. Much of their business is take out. They have many customers in the community, which is always a good sign. We love the papusas and tamales, and will be back for sure.
The papusas are amazing! We usually get them to go, but the staff is all really kind and friendly. Can be a bit of wait for food when busy, but, good things take time!
Delicious food and very authentic! This restaurant always exceeds my expectations in quality, service and dining experience! Got take out because of COVID. One of the few places in town that gets my order right ALWAYS! I love this place and fully recommend it to anyone who loves Salvadorean food and pupusas! The plantains here are the best on the West coast!
Very good. I will be back. A very humble dining area and the food is fantastic. Great tamales, pupusas, tacos dorados de pollo. Everything was very good. The dining area is well kept and clean.
I came here for the first time with a craving for pupusas and they didn't disappoint. I had the loroco and cheese pupusa, a tamale de elote, and orchata. The pupusa was fresh and hot, with just the right amount of cheese - it didn't overpower the blossoms. I did feel the amount of cortido and sauce was a little small, so next time I'll ask for extra. The tamal de elote was different from what I'm used to but still good. (It was big and haf an almost cake-lije texture as opposed to a soft dense texture). However,it still had a good corn taste without being overly sweet. And the orchata was ok - just a little to heavy on the cinnamon for my taste. Next time I'll try the tamarindo. When I'm in Wenatchee again, I look forward to eating here - the ladies that work here were helpful and pleasant.
The tacos, tamales, and most of all the pupusas were all fantastic. All the ingredients tasted great and very fresh. The tortillas tasted homemade, I believe they mentioned it will be made fresh. The pupusas were cheesey, moist, and delicious. It also stood out how the food was not salty (you can add salt if you like). The hot sauces were also a nice addition. The red is so spicy, and green very flavorful. We highly recommend.
