This is some authentic Pupusas. Makes me feel like I'm in El Salvador. Not sure if the cheese is imported but it sure taste legit. They have a variety of pupusas and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. My favorite is the Jalapeño one which has finely diced pieces of jalapeños with gooey cheese 😋 The most flavor packed pupusa is the "revuelta" which has beans, cheese & pork. What I like about this spot is that I can get a cola Champagne (Salvadorean orange colored soda) in a glass bottle. If you haven't had a Salvadorean horchata I recommend it. It is made out of a plant called "morro". If you wanna try Salvi food & dine on a budget, this is your spot.

We ordered pupusas with beans and cheese. They were a little oily, but overall very good (8/10). The curtido was a 10/10 and made Salvadorian style, and the salsa that accompanied the dish was very tomatoey in flavor and delicious. The bathrooms and restaurant is fairly clean and the waiters were very kind. Would definitely recommend!

Service is quick and friendly! Pupusas are made to order, something you can definitely taste! Served with sides, ‘curtido’ (described as cabbage relish/salad, it consists of: finely chopped cabbage, red onions, carrots, oregano, and white vinegar) and ‘salsa roja’ (tomato sauce) - so sooo good!! Pupusas Ordered: 1 cheese 1 jalapeño and cheese 1 chicharrón 1 chilipín and queso It was my first time having ‘Chipilín’ pupusas - by far my favorite!! - tasted delicious and have read such good things about it! Glad to have come across this Woodside gem!!

Ordered two Pupusas to go. They were 😋. The restaurant is cozy and has a nice decor. However, it took longer than it had to for 2 Pupusas and worse than that was the attitude of the waitress. She showed no hospitality at all. I understand that I was waiting for a takeout order, but I was still a paying customer. I will revisit this review if and when I go back. Perhaps I'll eat there the next time.
