First time trying pupusas and I am speechless, absolutely phenomenal. Definitely going to become a take out staple. The empanadas have a wonderful flavor as well. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. Totally in love

I've been coming here since they opened, the food is always soo delicious. I frequently do take out and I never know what to order so I tend to get food for 2 days. They have so many delicious options, you can't go wrong with what you order. When I want really good food, I come here because it never disappoints!

Got takeout with my little sister, all the pupusas flavors were delicious! The curtido with them was the perfect accompaniment and the platanos we also got were well fried and so, so tasty.

I ordered through DoorDash. Food was well packed to keep it hot. I got 2 popusas, empanadas and platanos. Everything was absolutely delicious. This all tasted like home cooking the best food I’ve had in AZ in 2 years. They are my go to DoorDash order from now on.

Little hole in the wall was an absolute GEM! Made to order food, looked small but was surprisingly filling. Good prices, fresh made to order Papusas we’re fantastic!

Ordered a bundle of 3 pupusas for $10. Ruvuelta (pork & beans), chicharrones (pork), and chicken. All 3 were flavorful, though I liked the pork ones a bit more than the chicken one. Also had chips with salsa, which looked like tostitos.

Great food made by people who care! It's nice to see a restaurant that's doing its own thing — no carbon-copy menus here. The food is delicious and has the feel that it was cooked by a team who takes pride in what they're serving. The tamales, arroz con pollo, tostones, and sweet plantains were all great, and I could eat pupusas every day of the week. All the items were well-packaged and had extra touches included, with sauces, slaw, and veggies. Quick delivery too. Looking forward to ordering from Selena's again soon!
