    Pupupas de Maiz: Queso con zucchini y Queso con espinaca | $2.50 each
    Cherylynn N.

    Cheap AND satisfying Pupusas with melty cheese busting out of the seams like my muffin top in jeans for $2.50 each?! YAS, please! Formerly La Santaneca, La Flore De Izote serves Salvadoran and Honduran fare. As with most Salvadoran eateries, the best thing to get is their pupusas, thick corn tortillas stuffed with cheese, veggies, loroco (green flower), and/or meat. I ordered the Queso con Zucchini & Queso con Espinaca (spinach) Pupusas to go: https://bit.ly/2LoK71V. Cc's accepted. While waiting for my order, I noticed that I was the only non-Spanish speaking person there so you know this place is legit. For just $2.50 a pop, the pupusas were thick and nicely filled with oozy cheese and specks of zucchini and spinach. They could have used more veggies though. The curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa roja could be improved. The curtido was heavy on the dried oregano so it was on the bitter side. The salsa roja could use more garlic, onions, and cilantro to brighten up the canned tomatoes taste. Nonetheless, it was a good filling meal for $5 in SF! These days, you can't even get a shot of free-range kale-carrot-cucumber-elderflower-mint juice for that! Friendly suggestion: Please consider putting pupusas to go orders in a box. Mines was stacked and wrapped in foil so the steam made the pupusas soggy by the time I got home (I live several minutes away). My fav place for pupusas in SF is nearby Balompie Cafe BUT at a $1 cheaper a piece, La Flore De Izote is a good, wallet-friendly alternative. I'll be back for more pupusas and to try the sopa de pata. Mmmmm, cow's feet!

    I had the combination plate and it was really good and they give you alot. Big portion. I'm definitely going back.

    Menu

    Food was good but not extraordinary. Unfortunately, the waitress who helped me got my order wrong (4 pupusas instead of 6). Bigger downside - the first 4 took 26 minutes to make (there were only 6 persons dining) and the missing 2 took another 11 mins. The 2nd waitress was very accommodating and professional while the first waitress who got it wrong went MIA and then behaved indifferently. If you want a BLEH meal with BLEH service, come on in!!!

    Everything is amazing. I recommend any of the breakfasts and also the pupusas! The owners are regularly here and care a lot about their customers. We ordered a couple of special vegan pupusas with just black beans and they were glad to make them, and they did so very quickly! Prices are reasonable and plates are very filling. Fresh hand made tortillas are always a treat! Platano frito ( fried ripe plantains ) is also very good

    The food is fire and the spicy sauce (salsa) they have is on point. Service is okay. Has an authentic Latino feel for sure.

    One of the best spots in the city for pupusas, hands down. I'm not listening to the…read morenaysayers--these pupusas hit the perfect balance of cheese, beans, and pork. Other spots I'm eating masa. Unlike many places that serve greasy pupusas, these are nicely made and not greasy. We usually order takeout since the dining area is small unless you go early. Parking can be a headache, but I've always managed to snag a spot (knock on wood). The staff are friendly, and we always leave full and happy!

    Here's a cIf I'm being honest, the only thing on their menu that lives up to any of the hype is the…read morepupusas. Everything else falls pretty flat. Even then, the pupusas are hit or miss. I'd give them about a 3.5 out of 5. On a good day, they come out with that perfect golden-brown finish. On a bad day, they look and taste undercooked to the point where I've had to throw them back on the stove at home just to make them edible. The ambiance doesn't do much to help. It's your typical Mission-style Latin restaurant, kind of sticky and worn-in, but in a way where you can't quite tell if it's part of the aesthetic or just a lack of upkeep. Now, let's get into why this leans closer to a one-star experience. The staff consistently come off like they'd rather be anywhere else. They don't smile and often come across as rude. Timing is basically a suggestion here. If you place a takeout order, plan well ahead, at least 45 to 60 minutes before pickup. Every single time I've called, I've been told 25 to 30 minutes, only to arrive and wait another 15 to 20 minutes. Without fail. And in a neighborhood where parking is already a headache, with limited meters and tight timing, you'll feel that delay. Your patience will absolutely be tested. Don't say I didn't warn you. Update: Today's order included a hit inside the cheese mixture of the Pupusas. Disgusting.

    I've been going to Estrellita's since they were in the stall at the La Cocina space in the…read moreTenderloin (forget what that was called). My first visit there I wasn't sold on their pupusas but when their brick and mortar location here opened up I went again to see how it was since I love pupusas and now they are in my regular rotation. The space is big and service is friendly with the free coffee (which I don't actually drink since I'm not a coffee guy). While it's not the fastest, the food is terrific so I am fine waiting for my delicious pupusas! I usually get the pork, bean and cheese pupusas which are really good but mixed it up last time and got the jalapeno and cheese ones but felt like there wasn't quite enough cheese in those so I'll prob just go back to the pork, bean and cheese ones since they seem more balanced. I also love both Balompie locations for pupusas if you need a reference on the types that I like.

    I had the pork and cheese pupusa and it was BOMB. what makes it even better is that you hear the…read moreslapping sounds of them making pupusas fresh in the back. a single pupusa is $6 and generously sized. the server told me pupusas are only $4.50 on Fridays! on top of all this, you can get a free cup of coffee when dining in. yes this place is nestled in the tenderloin, but the food and service is worth it, and the bathroom is surprisingly clean
