“ Customer service always on point love the whole menu. Down to the pupas... I love this place hands down the best chimichangas n pupas ”
“ I stumbled upon this pupuseria by chance, and boy am I glad that I did! It appears from the previous yelp reviews there's been an interior remodel of the tables. I absolutely love the painted and laquered artwork of the chairs on both sides too! Off food topic as I am a huge talvera and mexican painting collector as I love all the vibrant images. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon, lunch time, but sadly was the only customer. I truly hope this is because it was a weekday as this restaurant deserves great business. The employee was really friendly. I ordered 2 revuelta pupsas. If you are not familiar, these are pork bean and cheese filled. I also ordered a crispy/hard shell shredded chicken taco. I was surprised how fast the food came out. If you've ever ordered pupusas the wait is usually long due to the process. I was pleasantly surprised. The taco was a lot smaller than I had expected, but what it lacked in size it gained in flavor! The shell was cooked just perfectly, the chicken was seasoned very well, and I would order it again. The curtido and salsa also left some to be desired, I am used to Mexican oregano and red pepper flakes packing some heat and flavor as well as peppers in the salsa; however, it did the trick. Again, if you are unfamiliar, curtido is a Salvadorean slaw that tops the pupusas, usually served on the side cabbage and carrots with onion vinegar usually oregano and red pepper. I love curtido, could eat it by itself. The pupusas had the most cheese pull I have ever had with a pupusa, and the flavor was amazing!!! The curtido and salsa paired well. Let me just say if you are questioning trying this place out, no need, just go for it. I have been to 6 other local pupusa places in Sacramento, and this hit top 2! I will most definitely be back soon and hope others will join as well. ”
“ I love your food. I don't have to drive to San Francisco now and get my food. I love the fried bananas with beans and cream is perfect anytime of the day and healthy. And the pupusa is really good if you ever want something quick and easy to eat really good. I also like the Horchata, which is a drink. It's one of the best I taste around. Also, their soup. It's amazing chicken soup. It's completely different that you were having anywhere else. Try you tell me what you think. ”
“ Delicious pupusas! This is the closest pupusa joint to Roseville and they really hit the spot. Got one cheese, one chicken and cheese and a plate of plantains and beans. The cream is great on all of it too. Will definitely be back! Service was quick and staff is friendly too ”
“ 3 things I struggle with when exploring new places, new Barber, new mechanic and new pupuseria. But today I found my Pupuseria lol Carlos helped out, I didn't try their horchata but they have it available. Their quality is awesome! They are stuffed so 4 is enough for a grown ass man who likes pupusas but I ended up chowing down 6. Inside is nothing special, they do have Mexican soccer leagues on tv so it's super chill. They have 2 different types of red chile. Solo le preguntan si prefieres el más caliente de los dos. Si buscas una pupuseria con buena qualidad y precios muy baratos los recomiendo. ”
