    My friend and I come here during lunch. The pupusas are pretty good. I have only tried the cheese, cheese with chicharrón, and the revuelta.

    a plate of food on a blue table

    Closest place to me that sells pupusas, and other salvadoreña dishes. Was really good and proportioned, although it is cash only since I went. Would come back again for the food.

    Tried this place once and the pupusas were okay. We have not been back since. There are better pupusas in the area.

    Taking a star off for the owners snarky comment to my review which just proves my point about their…read morelack of care for their customers. Instead of trying to find out HOW meat got into my bean and cheese pupusa, she chose to be sarcastic and defensive about my experience without taking any accountability. She also said that their prices are "a little up there" and "are not meant for everyone" even though no one mentioned they had high prices. So she just went out of her way to...what? Call me poor? Weird. Please stop telling people that your cheese and beans are vegan; they are not. And it's not even always vegetarian either because I 100% got meat in mine and if you say you don't use ground meat in your pupusas, then I am even MORE concerned about what was in mine if it wasn't that. No wonder it upset my stomach all day! What the heck kind of meat was that?! You are clearly not a doctor so please don't try to tell me to go to the ER for an upset stomach. When vegetarians (and vegans) consume meat, we end up with a bad upset stomach - often for a full 24 hours or longer. It's like food poisoning to us. And I got it from your pupusas. She says: "We never said we are vegetarian connoisseurs." LOL lady, you're not even pupusa connoisseurs! I do agree with her on one thing though: Las Ploras pupusas "are not meant for everyone". I would keep that in mind the next time you're looking for good pupusas.

The pupusas were the highlight. The masa was soft and light, not heavy or doughy like some places. Very filling without feeling overwhelming. The curtido was also on point. They had great flavor, well balanced, and not overly spicy or vinegary. We also ordered the yuca con chicharrón, which was excellent. Well fried, crispy, and full of flavor. Prices were reasonable for the portions and quality. The only downside was the Salvadoran horchata. It was a bit too sweet for our taste and lacked that nuttier, earthier richness I usually expect. Overall, solid food and a great surprise via delivery. We'll definitely be visiting the restaurant in person next time to try more of their food.

Noticed we had this spot close to our home on Friday and decided to go on Saturday since they were already closed by 5PM. The location is basically hidden away in a commercial business area. The inside is small and honestly a little warm for me but I find most Salv locations like to keep their places warm feeling? Simple solution is just take your food back home lol The guy at the cash register was very nice and offered mixing spinach with zucchini when i couldn't pick between the two options. He brought us out some cookies while we waited along side our drinks. I got the ensalada and Jamaica. I preferred the ensalada as it was a little less sweet. I did want their empanadas with custard filling but they didn't have any My husband got the chicharron pupusas and i got the revueltas. I enjoyed both and honestly you can never go wrong with the mixed. To take home we added some zucchini and spinach ones and honestly those were a great add on with the revueltas. I did find their cortido to fuck me up a bit with all the spices, but I'm just sensitive to that sort of stuff so if you have some sensitivity issues with spices beware! The tomato sauce was good, I'm not sure if they have a spicy version but might be needed for some people. Other than that great place, the food wasn't too oily and the service was great. Also please make a mental note that the orders are made as they're ordered so it can take a minute for food to be ready. Order in advance if you're in a hurry!

However, I'm removing a star because the ordering and pricing information was not clearly explained. When I ordered, the cashier (who I believe may be the owner) did not clarify that there were different sizes or price options for certain items. Each time I ordered something, he automatically rang up what appeared to be the largest or most expensive option without explaining that there were alternatives. I only realized there were different sizes and prices after I had already paid and was leaving. When I tried to ask about the price differences, my question was ignored, which made the situation feel intentional and left me feeling uncomfortable about the experience. The food was genuinely great, but clearer communication about options and pricing would make the experience much better for customers. Español Las pupusas aquí estaban muy buenas. Si estuviera calificando solo la comida, le daría a este lugar 5 estrellas. Sin embargo, le quito una estrella porque la información sobre el pedido y los precios no fue explicada claramente. Cuando ordené, el cajero (quien creo que puede ser el dueño) no aclaró que había diferentes tamaños u opciones de precio para algunos artículos. Cada vez que pedía algo, automáticamente marcaba lo que parecía ser la opción más grande o más cara sin explicar que había otras alternativas. No me di cuenta de que había diferentes tamaños y precios hasta después de haber pagado y cuando ya me estaba yendo. Cuando intenté preguntar sobre las diferencias de precio, mi pregunta fue ignorada, lo cual hizo que la situación pareciera intencional y me dejó sintiéndome incómoda con la experiencia.

No complaints there. BUT... there's something I saw that honestly threw me off. They bring curtido to the table in a jar (cool, no problem), but when we were done, I noticed they take whatever is left and dump it back into a big container in the back to reuse. That means it's basically being shared between multiple tables. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but that's just not sanitary. Once food hits a table, it shouldn't be going back into circulation. It kind of kills the vibe knowing you might be eating something that's been on someone else's table already. If they fixed that, this place would easily be a 4 or even 5 star spot. The food deserves it, but cleanliness matters too. Just being real.
