Keto pupusas revueltas
Wendy D.

Are you doing Keto or know someone that can't eat pupusas because they are on the Keto diet?! Check out their Keto pupusas. They are delicious. I would even say better than the regular pupusas. They are my favorite!

The best pupusas hands down. The one with chicharrón was so flavorful and wishing I had gotten more. I also got a breakfast plate and it was great as well. Highly recommend this place.

So good!!

La Puntilla, previously known as El Sombrero Azul, is an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. My family and I enjoy the fresh-made pupusas along with any dish on the menu. The food is not only tasty but the service is outstanding! We will continue to be frequent customers of La Puntilla and you should be too!

Nice restaurant. Very helpful servers. Beans are to die for! The cheese is awesome and stretchy! I…read moregot some tamales but took them to go and haven't tried yet. The pupusa de arroz also delicious. Totally recommend!!! I appreciate that the pupusas are not "restaurant" expensive and they will always bring me back! I will be trying all the other dishes when I don't go just for my lunch hour!

5/5 : Torogoz has been my family's favorite pupusa spot for years. Unlike them, I don't eat pupusas…read morevery often, perhaps once or twice a year. This spot is a lowkey mom-and-pop shop, nothing fancy. It's my go-to when introducing people to my culture. The pupusas are pretty big, and they have a meal with 3 pupusas with a drink for about $10-13. When we sat down it was an hour before closing, but the waitress was very kind, attentive, and showed no sign of annoyance. She started us off with some complimentary chips and refried beans. My party of two ordered 6 pupusas, a coffee, horchata, and a chicken tamale. The chicken tamale was well-seasoned and large in size, and they didn't skimp on the chicken or masa. The best parts of the pupusas is that they have a lot of filling and they don't have excess corn flour (masa) around the edges. That takes A LOT of skill! They're also good as leftovers if you pop them in an air fryer on a low setting ;). Overall, I'd 100% recommend this restaurant to people.

First time here so I haven't tried everything on the menu. The fried yucca with pork was very very…read moregood. Both the yucca and pork were cooked to perfection and was worth $11.50 - great portion and ate it as an entree although it's listed as an appetizer. The salpicón was tasty but small on the portion size for $18.50. The Ambiance on the first floor was very nice and not too loud despite having a bar - they also have a second floor which I imagine is a little quieter. Note that they charged a 'Restaurant surcharge' of about 10% of the total - not sure what that's for... Definitely try the fried or regular yucca with pork - Delicious!

Probablemente la peor experiencia en un restaurante que e tenido en este año…read more Llegamos y esperamos 30 minutos por una mesa lo cual es totalmente entendible para un domingo. Llegamos y la host en seguida llegó a la mesa a dejar chips y frijoles. Luego llegó Carolina nuestra mesera con 0 carisma y a quien se le nota que odia trabajar en la industria de del servicio de alimentos porque su servicio al cliente es pobre y seco. Llego a tomar la orden toda de un solo y no las bebidas primero como debe ser. Ordenamos las bebidas y yo le pedí un agua de guanábana (está en el menú) y me dijo que no la tenían, entonces le pedi un chocolate caliente (está en el menú) y también me dijo que no tenían, le dije okay, que hay de los cocos (también en el menú)? Me dijo que si tenían, para 5 minutos después venir a decirme que no tenían tampoco eso. Le dije okay que me diera una Coca-Cola. Luego ordenamos nuestra comida, yo ordené una sopa de res (también está en el menú), 10 minutos más tarde viene a decirme que no había sopa de res tampoco. Mi molestia fue ver que a una mesa de 4 personas que llegaron 5 minutos después de nosotros les salió su comida unos 10 minutos antes que a nosotros y que una de sus comida era sopa de res la cual a mí me negaron luego de haberme negado todo lo que quise ordenar antes. Para asegurarme de no juzgar mal le pregunté a la mesera de la otra mesa que si esa era una sopa de res y me dijo que si. Y 30 minutos después de nosotros llegaron otras personas y se sentaron al lado nuestro y ordenaron sopa de res y para ellos también hubo. Cuando vino a decirme que no había sopa de res de inmediato ordené unos camarones a la diabla y que no quería ensalada y en lugar de eso pregunté si me podía dar más arroz, a lo cual respondió que si. Cuando nuestra comida empezó a salir 30 minutos después de haberla ordenado vienen 3 de los 5 platos primero, siendo mis camarones uno de los 3 primeros, con mucha ensalada (la cual había dicho que no quería) y con un poco de arroz crudo o sobre cocido no sabría decir exactamente como. De los 2 platos restantes llegó la mojarra de mi sobrino 15 minutos después de los primeros platos, y 10 minutos despues de la mojarra salieron las 2 pupusas que ordenó mi hermano (cuando ya todos estábamos casi terminando de comer) (45 minutos para 2 pupusas de loroco? Come on!) Luego de la mesera solo llegara a botar los platos no se acercó más nunca a ver si todo salió bien, si nos hacía falta más bebida o algo más, hasta el final. Los adultos de la mesa teníamos los vasos vacíos porque queríamos ordenar más bebida pero nunca se nos ofreció. En fin, este lugar es todo lo que está mal en la industria restaurantera y de servicio al cliente. Yo soy mesero y bartender y se distinguir cuando es culpa del mesero, cocina, o gerencia y en este caso están todos muy mal. La gerencia por contratar gente sin la capacidad y por no asegurarse de que lo que esté en el menú esté también disponible, y por no supervisar el nivel de servicio que se está ofreciendo por parte de su staff. La cocina por no leer los tickets que se meten (porque en el recibo claramente decía no ensalada sub arroz) Y finalmente la mesera que es la parte más importante para asegurarse que el cliente se vaya contento ya que somos la cara del establecimiento. Al no haber las primeras 4 cosas que ordené ella debió PRIMERO poner MUCHA atención a mi plato y asegurarse de que al menos viniera de la manera en que lo ordené. SEGUNDO cuando se tiene una mesa ya molesta uno hace cositas extras para minimizar la molestia del cliente (llevar una pequeña sopita o una pequeña ensaladita de la casa, un poco más de chips y frijoles, asegurarse de que al menos las bebidas no falten, luego quedarse muy pendiente de la mesa molesta y al final ofrecer un pequeño postre por las molestias ocasionadas. Almenos yo como mesero y bartender con experiencia es lo que hago y mis clientes que en algún momento estuvieron molestos se van con un buen sabor de boca de nuestro establecimiento. Porque igual de importante que la comida es la experiencia! Y de eso se encarga un mesero, de asegurarse que el cliente tenga una buena experiencia en ese lugar. Pero claramente Carolina está forzada a trabajar en Sondonate Grill porque se ve que no le agrada el lugar ni la gente que frecuenta el mismo. Yo siempre dejo al menos un 20% de propina pero esta vez iba a dejar un 10% por la mala experiencia porque soy un capaz de irme sin dejar propina pero que creen? Ni para tomar propinas sirve este lugarcito, ya que no puedes dejarla en la tarjeta, debes llevar cash si o si. En fin, una experiencia 1 de 10.

As a Salvadoran who grew up eating pupusas in El Salvador, I can confidently say this place is the…read morereal deal. The pupusas here are as close as it gets to the ones back home--perfectly handmade, with just the right balance of masa, filling, and that comforting crisp on the outside. The curtido is fresh, tangy, and not overly sour, and the salsa complements everything just right. It's rare to find a restaurant outside El Salvador that captures the flavor and heart of our food, but this one does. The attention to detail and authenticity truly made me feel at home. If you've never tried pupusas before, this is the perfect place to start. And if you're Salvadoran like me, you'll appreciate how close to home these flavors really are. Highly recommend--it's as good as it can get outside El Salvador!

I was in the mood for some pupusas and saw that this restaurant had good ratings. I decided to call…read moreand make a pick up order. Upon ordering, I was informed that it would be 25 min max for some food. I entered the restaurant 30 minutes after to wait an extra 20 minutes for the food. The minute I entered, I saw the cook barley starting my order. I was hoping it wasn't mine and mine was done but I was wrong. It was indeed my order being started. It was also very expensive. Each pupusa is $4.75. Although relatively large, they were pretty salty. I was surprised they had carne asada pupusa and wanted to try that. Those were $6!!! And very very salty. I did not finish it. The curtido looked old as well. I hate when I waste a good amount of money and am dissatisfied with my food. Feels robbed. Overall, glad I tried it, I won't be going back.
