I called for delivery and here the problems began. Beyond some slight hiccups with language barrier, the guy on the phone takes my order and tallies up the amount to over $10 of what I thought it would be. I go back tally up everything on my end and call back. Again he says that's the amount, actually $0.25 more this time. So I ask what gives? I ordered off the website. He replies "oh the prices have increased on some of the things." He tries to go through what has gone up, along the way Naming things that aren't even on my order. I have to correct him and get that straightened out. My main issues with this is of course, update your website to reflect price increases, and 2 I could've canceled the order but I didn't over this, you could throw me a dessert or something for my troubles? The food comes after another hiccup from the driver being a bit confused and passing the building. I don't get a receipt because I wanted to review what exactly costed what. The delivery lady won't let me keep the copy she has. So there's that. *Exhale* so the food... It was alright. Not the best of an authentic level place like this. The pupusas were good and would consider again but they didn't live up to the hype I thought they would. The Lomo de cerdo asado (pork loin) was waaaaay overdone and all dried up. Rice and beans were fine though as were the salads Included with the entrees. Chicharrones was ok as was the yuca frita. Then there was this red sauce that was packaged in a coffee cup and tasted like that $0.88 store brand pasta sauce. Very watery. Not good. Overall I wasn't really impressed by the service and food. Maybe dining in is the way to go here.

We recently ordered 6 pupusas with beans and cheese, which is our normal. However, due to some…read moremiscommunication, we received 6 pupusas with just cheese. I have had plain cheese pupusas before and was never a big fan, but we decided to take it as the staff was so apologetic and kind and we didn't want to wait longer for food. The cheese pupusas were amazing! I was so shocked. We will definitely start mixing up our order to include cheese and cheese/bean pupusas. I only wish the pupuseria was open later, especially on Fridays/Saturdays, but the food is always worth it! Note of caution: compliance to COVID precautions isn't the most consistent.

Wasn't as flavorful as I am used to but still pretty good. I noticed there was a loroco papusa though... but is there cheese in it too? That's way I didn't get it. Maybe I will next time. The horchata is legit. So fresh! Definitely will be ordering again.

The masa had amazing flavor and the chicken was melt in your mouth. The pupusas revueltas had good flavor but a bit dense.

This little homey Latin food spot felt like it came out of Queens NY and not a suburban NJ town. Service is pretty informal and the woman working when we went wasn't totally fluent in English, but she was so warm and we didn't have any hitches with ordering. We went on an off-hour on a weekday so they were apparently out of most of their entrees except for a selection at their hot bar, but the pupusas were still available and that's what I wanted anyway. I ordered a loroco and revuelta pupusa plus a baleada just because I hadn't tried one before. The pupusas were hot and fresh and absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside and oozing with cheese on the inside. They came with a little slaw/salad and a delicious red sauce that I liked so much the server got me a second bowl and I cleaned both up! The baleada was sort of like a quesadilla with beans and eggs rather than cheese in a flour tortilla, which was alright but the pupusas just blew it out of the water. I also had a bit of the bistec encebollada, which was tasty and tender and a super generous portion. The food was super affordable for the portions and quality, and they do accept credit card. Really happy we stumbled upon this place, and would recommend anyone coming through town or working in the nearby offices check this spot out!

I ordered pups as to go- revueltas, de queso con loros y queso con calabaza :) And of course un tamalito de elote!! My only mishap - 1/4 of a tiny cup of crema to go with tamal. But I loved it was wrapped in corn husk and boiled to perfection :) The absolute best part though was the friendliness and attentiveness!!

I came here in a pinch for some Pupusas since my usual spot…read morePupuseria el Guanaco. I wasn't sure what to think of the place. It's a little run down. There was one woman behind the counter when I arrived but the restaurant was otherwise empty and deserted. It looked like like no one had been there all day. There's also no set menu apparently as the hot dishes rotate daily. I was there for the pupusas so I didn't focus too much on their hot food. They offer bean and cheese, plain cheese, loroco and cheese and pork and cheese. Each pupusa was $3.75. The owner made the pupusas fresh to order. I told her I was going to the bank so I could pay in cash since I was short on change. I was a little off put when she asked me to leave what I had in the meantime so she could start on the order. I said "like a deposit?". I guess some people order and then don't return? I assured her I would be back to pick up the food. She seemed almost relieved when I actually did return with the money. The pupusas were actually pretty good and tasted fresh. They're not as good as my usual spot or as heavily stuffed. These felt more snacky and less meal sized but still a fine substitute. They came with curtido and salsa. The curtido wasn't great but I liked the salsa.

Wonder if they can keep the doors open long at those prices though, most places that I've see that cheap don't make it so would expect an increase or a closure soon.

It looks more like a takeout place, but it's got seating if you wanna stay in and eat. I got four revueltas pupusas (2 fish, 2 meat) and a plain corn tamale. The pupusas were super hot and fragile, so I had to eat them with a fork and knife instead of like a taco. They were very good, especially with their green and red sauces. The red sauce had a decent amount of heat, but i liked the clean flavor of the green sauce more. At less than $3.00 per pupusa, it's a cheap, tasty, and filling meal. The tamale was like an under cooked cornbread. The sour cream on top helped bring out the sweetness of the corn. Good spot for cheap eats
