    Pupusa with curtido and salsa
    Fanny C.

    Great little hole in the wall! I walked in at 6pm on a Monday and asked for an estimated time. The worker said it depended on what I order, I said I would be ordering 4 pupusas and she gave me an estimated time of 20-25min. I thought this was reasonable, because they were being made from scratch. I ordered the following pupusas: Chicharrón: I could not really taste the chicharrón, but it did have a little spicy kick to it. Fair pupusa, nice size and good maza(dough). Revuelta (chicharrón, beans, cheese): This one has a little more flavor due to the beans and cheese. Again, fair pupusa. Bean and cheese: This pupusa was my favorite! So simple, yet so flavorful. The beans tasted great, along with the cheese. What really brings THE FLAVOR are the toppings. You are give a side of curtido (cabbage salad) and a tomato based salsa. Both of these were excellent! In addition, I was asked if I wanted a side of hot sauce and I decided to get it. The hot sauce was very spicy, but good. I would recommend to go easy on it! I plan on returning for the bean and cheese pupusa and possibly trying a different filling!

    After awhile of craving pupusas we decided to come by a good ol landmark spot in rancho …read more It's been awhile since I been here and let me tell you it's still a 10/10 they still make them like before only thing different is I tried the carne asada one that they didnt have before and I won't like it was like a 5/10 but everything else is still fire definitely will continue to come back . It's definitely slept on I feel like if your ever in the area and want some good pupusas come by here !

    I can't say enough nice things about this place. My parents live in Rancho Cucamonga -- I grew up…read morein Upland/Montclair -- and I visit them often. This is always on the list because the food is great and the owners are wonderful. They've genuinely become friends of my parents. Ambiance Clean and unpretentious. Nothing fancy -- just booths, tables, and the sense that you're about to be served something really good. Service Warm, kind, and attentive. This is a small family business, and it shows in the best possible way. We owe it to places like this to seek them out and keep coming back. Quality like this deserves to survive. Food It's amazing. The menu is a mix of Salvadoran and Mexican dishes -- pupusas, of course, and all of them are great. But don't sleep on the soups, which are really something special. I've been on a health kick lately so I usually go for the fajita chicken or a simple chicken breast. Both come with rice, beans, and homemade corn tortillas -- warmed up, thick, and absolutely worth the trip on their own. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the area!

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!

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.

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.
