I have been coming here since this place opened, I absolutely adore this restaurant! These are easily the best pupusas in the entire Coachella Valley. They are worth the commute from wherever in the desert you are. Every pupusa is made with love and care, fresh to order. I love every single item they have on the menu. It's all worth a try! Be sure to get an order of the fired plantains with creama and side of beans to enjoy with your pupusas! This place is clean, inviting and with plenty of seating. Incredible dishes, great portions and great people behind the magic of the establishment and product! Lifetime customer read more

FiveO3 Pupusas - Lorrocco Pupusas with cortido and salsa - Salvadoran Near Me - Cathedral City, California

We visited Palm Desert to see our St. Louis CITY Soccer Club (SC) play Austin at the Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament, and we visited the Palm Springs Village Feat our first night in town (it's every Thursday). As we walked among the many artists, our daughter had plans for a restaurant for dinner. As we approached Five03, my nose and stomach made other plans; I soon ordered a chicken and cheese pupusa, and within minutes our daughter and my wonderful wife left me with only a couple bites; even with the less-than-expected amount I can tell you this was great; the ladies clearly liked it, too. When you are in town, stop by their restaurant or visit Five03 at the Palm Springs Village Fest! And yes, 503 is the country code / national telephone code for El Salvador, clearly a home and birthplace to some wonderful people who make wonderful food!! read more

We ordered two double pupusas plate which were picante, frijole y queso, revuelta, and pollo. Both were delicious, and little heavy on the cheese. They were flat and not thick. Personally, I love my pupusas thick, but everyone has their own individual taste and way to make them. The service was friendly and kind. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. We waited about 15 minutes for our food to be ready. There is plenty of seating inside and out. For the price, it's worth a try if you're in the area. Thank you :) read more

Tried FiveO3 Pupusas at a pop-up booth during a festival in Palm Springs and they were absolutely delicious. The pupusas were made fresh right in front of you, hot off the griddle, and full of flavor. You could really taste how fresh everything was, and the portions were super satisfying. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better, especially in a busy festival setting. If you see this pop-up around, definitely stop by and grab some pupusas -- it was one of the highlights of the festival for me. read more

I was way too excited to dig into the revueltas pupusas. I only remembered to snap a pic after I'd already started devouring them! Also, had some fried plantains with beans on the side. All pretty reasonable prices. I've been on the hunt for a good pupusa spot in the desert, and I think I finally found it. read more

FiveO3 Pupusas - Double trouble - Salvadoran Near Me - Cathedral City, California

First timers. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. She told us what was most popular and gave us horchata samples because their horchata isn't what I'm used too. lol. They were both good so we got one each. We tried 3 different popular ones (mixed, spicy and steak) and got two dessert and everything was so good. The plantines were my fave over the empanada those were the desserts. Their decor on inside is so beautiful as well, and tell my why their bathroom was the most beautiful I have ever been in. lol. It's such a vibe. 10 out of 10 read more

FiveO3 Pupusas - Bean and loroco pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Cathedral City, California

I tried their pupusa's at the Palm Springs fest and it was not good ... My daughter loves cheese pupusas and she took 1 bite and she rejected it and when I tried it it really did taste bad. I got 1 de frijol con queso and it was so dry, I tried to save it with the salsa & curtido and it tasted old/bad like it was left out for a while and then they put it in the fridge . Customer service was off as well , I wanted to just leave when I was ordering but my daughter was hungry and was really looking forward to the pupusas . read more

We loved everything we ordered. The cashier was really nice. She explained what the popusas had. She gave us samples of the aguas frescas. My favorite is the Salvadorian Horchata (they don't use milk) I tried this one at the Tamale Festival. At this location I tried the Maracuya and it was sweet and refreshing. We waited a bit but not too long. We understand they are not premade. The Popusa by itself may be a little tasteless (I'm used to eating a lot of salt) but once you add all the condiments it's very tasty and delicious. Loved the sour cream and their salsa. You do have to pay $2 for a small size of sour cream. First time trying the fried plantain and it was delicious. Again by itself it's very bland taste but when you add the beans and the sour cream which they come along with the plate it's very very good. Loved the ambiance, it was clean not crowded. A gentleman stop by to order tamales but apparently they only sell them during the holidays. They are pretty good size I got full with one. read more

FiveO3 Pupusas - A pupusa,salsa in a container awkward an not original horchata. - Salvadoran Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Good pupusas. We enjoyed them. They were fresh and hot. We got the empanadas too, a little over fried but still ok.

I love a good pupusa. You can't go wrong with this place.. As the menu says they serve pupusa's. They do offer sides of fried plantains, neugados, and empanadas, but by specializing in one thing they should be spot on and they are. I've tried the steak, cheese , jalapeño, zucchini and laroca pupusas, all were delicious. The perfect amount of cheese and grilled just right on the outside. Their Curtido is great, I don't like mine soggy, theirs has just the perfect amount of dressing. It is a bit spicy, so be prepared. If you're looking for a great place and are craving pupusas , this should be your go to. read more

Came to the area for a conference and was looking for good comfort food, this place was so good! The pupusas were a good size, the filling was flavorful and the curtido was on point! The people were attentive, 10/10 I would recommend. read more

We stopped by this place not looking or knowing what to expect, and I have to tell you- from the kind lady who helped us at the counter to the beautiful ambience of the restaurant and the delicious food, I was hooked. We are not really familiar with Salvadorian food, but they explained every type of pupusa they have so we got one of each of everything! We also got the fried plantains and the empanadas. We took our food to go and when got home we had the most delicious pupupas we ever had!!! We'll be back real soon!!! read more

We ordered from this vendor at the Pride Festival on Sunday and I have to say I ordered 2 chicken pupusas and 2 drinks and the bill came to over $37.00.....This is an outrage and a total rip off they more than doubled the prices over the listed prices here and they had no posted prices of any of the food or drinks....I hope they aren't allowed back to next years Pride Celebration because they are a total rip off. read more

This place has the best-tasting pupusas in town! Everything is fresh and made on the spot. I love how these pupusas fill you up, but aren't "heavy" or greasy in any way. Staff is very friendly, and the place itself has a very open and inviting feel to it (not to mention it's spotless too). Totally recommend giving this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
