I am so thrilled I decided to come here for dinner! I ordered the pupusa dinner which includes 3 pupusas. I had chicken and cheese, bean ,and lorcoro (squash flower) and an orange agua fresca. The ambiance was clean, cozy and well decorated. The curtido was crisp and perfectly acidic, and I like how they didn't skimp on the serving. Overall just a really good comforting meal for a good price. I'm excited to come back! read more

Las pupusas están deliciosas, lo único es que el muchacho bajito de la caja es bastante lento y un poco grosero. Tardan bastante en tener la comida lista. Hice un pedido por teléfono y cuando llegué todavía no estaba listo, además el chico se demoró en atenderme. read more

Great food reasonably priced great staff. So happy to stumble upon this place. Will be on rotation

Delicious pupusas served steaming hot and full of flavor! The sauce was flavorful and the cabbage crunchy. I highly recommend them!

Hidden gem in my hood. This place is so cute! I'm going to tell you that the food that we got was amazing. I wish i remembered its name but anyway, honestly had an amazing meal through and through. I had this beef stew thing that i put on some rice and it was fantastic! They even had something for my picky eater son! The restaurant itself is very clean and well decorated. They have a great vibe going on here. I feel like I stepped into someone villa. Extremely good service at fair prices. Would recommend 100%. Cant wait to come back! Also, try the Pupusas! read more

Amazing food and a fantastic selection. I hope to come back to this cute little spot the next time I'm here m Chicago. read more

I picked up an order from Las Delicias this weekend. Our entrees were the Carne Asada and Churrasco Guatamalteco, and for apps we got the Jibaritos, yuka with chicharrón and a cheese & chicken pupusa. I also ordered the atol de elote out of curiosity, but unfortunately they forgot to pack it :(. The jibaritos were big- this could def be an entree. My wife and I agreed, the pupusa was the best thing from our dinner. My biggest hangup was the meat from both steaks and from the jibaritos- it was riddled with gristle. I wouldn't do any steak dish from here again. The yuka with garlic oil was my second favorite part of our dinner. Personal opinion: the chicharrón is very greasy and heavy. I don't think they got it wrong; I just learned it's a dish for an iron stomach. Somehow, with all the food we ordered, (about $100 total) my wife and I agreed we both felt disappointed. The food tasted bland. It was lacking flavor or kick, maybe salt? We were also hungry and a bit tipsy, and that typically helps us enjoy a meal more than usual. Maybe it was an off day? We're steps away, but I'm not sure we'd hurry back. Maybe for pupusas. The folks seemed nice and the portions were big. read more

No joke I have thought about the food here for 2 days since we stopped for the first time. Super clean business (and bathrooms-score) and staff used plenty of health precautions making you feel comfortable. Large menu, fair prices, delicious quality food with good sized portions and very nice workers. We shared a few pupusas and each was delicious!! Ordered the ham and cheese (our favorite), veggie (second favorite) and pollo queso (excellent and tasted as expected). The 3 totaled around $10. Great tasty value! Restaurant is BYOB also. Woooo! I'll be back SOON...and you should definitely put it on your to do list! read more

Customer service was good but we weren't impressed with the taste of the pupusas or the yuca frita but the most disappointment was with the horchata. Even the curtido wasnt that good. The worst horchata I've had in my life. It was basically a glass of milk with some cinnamon taste. Giving two stars because of the service and how friendly they were. read more

Las Delicias - Pupusa queso Pupusa de Loroco y Queso - Salvadoran Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Was so excited to finally find a Guatemalan restaurant, came once the experience was ok. Came back today to give it a second try. I'dlove to give it 5 stars but I just can't & I'm disappointed. The food both times was delicious. The portions though were very small. However the service, Omg! They are so slow! Even thought it looks like there are 3 cooks in the kitchen, the wait time is ridiculously slow. It's cute little place. read more

Friendly service, food is always good, hard to find parking sometimes though but close to home.

My friend brought me here. He lives in the area and had been here several times before. I'll start off with the food, it was delicious. I had one of those extra large pupusas with multiple ingredients in it. We also had some additional things, but I can't remember their exact name. In summary, the food was great. I can recommend the food all day, every day. However... the service is what caused me to give this place such a low rating. I just had never experienced something like this before. It started out with me checking in to Yelp and finding a coupon for a free drink or something. I mentioned it to the server and she said she didn't know anything about that. That's fine, it's just a drink, whatever. The real problem was the slowness of services, the inattentiveness, and the lack or regard for my time. The restaurant wasn't at all busy when we went (it was the middle of the week) and there were hardly any patrons inside. I had to ask for a refill, silverware, and simple requests like those multiple times. It was just as bad when it came time to leave. The check took about 20+ minutes and then an additional 10 minutes to get to-go boxes. I had to ask at least three times. Then, after she had said she would honor the Yelp coupon, she ended up charging the drink anyway. Overall, the food was good, but I'm not sure I'd ever willingly return here. Maybe takeout? read more

The pupusas were great authentic Salvadorian food, the only complaint is that it takes a little bit too long until you get your food.

This cute little neighborhood restaurant was a great suggestion from a friend. The pupusas came out piping hot and were full of flavor. read more

I had been to this place many times before and I kind of enjoyed the food. I was in the area yesterday so I decided to stop by for Guatemalan food. We ordered Pork tamales, Pupusas, Chuchitos, yuca frita con chicharrón, atol de elote, horchata and Mexican quesadillas with steak. The tamales were not fresh at all, they tasted like they had been refrigerated for a while. The Pupusas also tasted reheated. The chuchitos, the only thing that gave them flavor was the sauce to top them. They only served us about 4 pieces of the yuca. Atol de elote didn't tasted watered down The service wasn't bad. The girls were attentive but seems as they don't have authority when it comes to the food. It's a chill ambiance, it was early in the day so not busy at all. I don't think I'll be making the trip there again. Worst $100 spent jn food read more

Pupusas were delicious!!! 2 different kinds of salsa and curtido were great as well. Had both cheese and chicharrón pupusas.

la comida muy bien, lo único y lo más importante les falta personal y la atención al cliente, las mesas sucias si pudieran cambiar manteles en mi observación vi muchas manchitas negras en los plásticos , es una pequeña y humilde sugerencia , si pudieran poner más personal sería genial ya que el cliente espera mucho por su comida read more

We loved this place. We were invited to a Christmas gathering and we had a blast. The food was delicious and authentic. The staff explained every appetizer and dinner entree we inquired about. The music and videos added an international touch to our fun evening. We will definitely visit again. read more

Here are some words, or near facsimiles thereof, that I feel like I've written too many times on Yelp: "In our metro of two million people, we cannot get ________. So when we see [it/them] available in another town, we often jump at the chance to partake." Here, the blank gets filled with Salvadoran food and pupusas. Las Delicias is a bright, colorful, and friendly little restaurant with gleaming terracotta tile floors. Here, the menu extends well beyond pupusas--there are big bowls of soups and stews and plates heaping with grilled meat, and other Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Mexican specialties. But pupusas is what we were after, and Las Delicias delivered. You can get a combo pupusa plates with more-flavorful-than-average rice and beans for under ten dollars, and these pupusas were good, sizeable ones, griddled up with pleasant crispness and generously stuffed with cheese, meat, and/or veggies. read more

Came here for the first time and had Pupusas. Overall delicious and will be goin back in the near future. Service was fast had a waitress constantly checking up on us which I liked. Food wasn't expensive. read more

Wonderful food. Even more wonderful hosts. Great vibes. Would definitely come again!!

Best Guacamole I've ever had. The chimichangas were really good too I definitely recommend checking them out

The pupusas here were very tasty- recommend the pollo y queso & chicharron y queso. The salsa wasn't my fancy, but I'm used to Mexican-style salsa. This order took a while to arrive even though we live really close by. The order estimate said 40-50 minutes for delivery and it took over an hour and a half. I tried calling to ask about status and they wouldn't answer the phone. The delivery person arrived and he asked my husband to confirm if he was left a tip on the credit card order, which I thought was super rude. Ask your manager, don't ask the customer. read more

1 star service 4 star food We went for dinner on a Saturday night- attracted to Las Delicias by the authentic vibe. We ordered the chuletas with a side of yuca fries, and a combination platter. We waited 45 minutes for our food. Which was especially baffling considering we were one of maybe six people in the restaurant. We debating just leaving because the wait was getting so ridiculous. During this time we had to ask several times for refills on our water. When the food finally came, it was delicious. The pork chops were wonderful, as was the combination platter. However, the server forgot our order of the yuca fries. The food was a little on the pricey side for a hole in the wall restaurant. Typically $15 per plate. Overall, between the terrible service and the expensive food, we would not return. read more

Pompuso Salavadorean food I had it the first time on 9/11/21 it's THE BOMB!!! They say the Guatemalan food is as authentic as it gets though I didn't like it. I had a Guatemalan girlfriend and she never cooked 1X so I wouldn't know! That relationship didn't last long, the bum. :P read more

I wandered into Las Delicias on New Years Day, looking for something different for dinner takeout. The menu is loaded with traditional Central American foods (mainly Guatemalan and Salvadorian) that are quite intriguing, though there are also Mexican standards and even a kids breakfast menu. The interior of the sizeable restaurant looks pleasant enough, and I may have to dine in next time. There is a counter with some artisan trinkets on sale. I ordered a vegetarian combo platter, as well as a tamal guatemalteco. Most people are familiar with the Mexican-style tamales, but this Guatemalan-style corn tamale with pork is larger and has a more gelatinous density. Now for the sprawling combo platter - starting with the pupusa, a cornmeal patty that is a Salvadorian standard I have enjoyed in other restaurants. I chose the pupusa with loroco filling. Loroco is a vine with edible flowers, though the generous amount of cheese filling makes it the dominant ingredient of the pupusa. There is also a cup of slaw which is traditionally used as a topping for the pupusa. The cheese chilaquil is sort of a quesadilla, with the tortilla smothered with a red salsa and paired with a generous plop of guacamole. The massive platter also comes with sides of a very dense pile of refried beans, a scoop of rice sprinkled with carrots and peas, a cup of spicy green sauce, and fried sweet plantains. The wedges of sweet plantains have a slightly charred exterior that created a delicious caramelized effect. All in all, I was very satisfied with trying out a new (to me) restaurant on the first day of the New Year. read more

Lovely people and service. The papusas were made to order. The texture and flavor was phenomenal. I had the zucchini with cheese, and the bean w cheese. They also offer complimentary chips/salsa and cabbage. So a big meal for only $5! Thank you Maria for the wonderful service!! read more

Love this place! I have tried the pork and cheese pupusas from here, but they also have veggie. They're pretty big. They come with a pickled cabbage and carrot slaw and a side of salsa (not spicy). They're not doughy (like others I've tried) , it's just perfect. If you're looking for something fast, try this place ! read more

Please go here it's so good! Every Pupusa I've tried is delicious and the platillos are excellent. Worth sitting down and eating fresh

Service was great, attentive and when asked if I could try a beverage before ordering she's was Place gives u a homey feel to it, they sell items like the little dolls from Guatemala, earrings, etc. read more

You know those nights when you're fine one minute and insanely, ravenously hungry the next? And how, because life is unfair, those nights tend to hit when cash is tight? Do not resign yourself to that quick-fix dollar menu life. Instead, go directly to Las Delicias and get yourself like, 3 pupusas. Here's why: -They are made-to-order and fresh af. -They are as hearty as they are heavenly. -The homemade slaw is -They are so dang cheap. We always end up ordering more than we need because it doesn't feel fair to pay so little to be so full. The service is relaxed and friendly, but if you're carrying out I recommend calling about 30 mins before you'll arrive. That way your pupusas will be ready and waiting and you can scarf one down on your way to the car real quick ;) read more

Amazing pupusas! Get the pork and bean one. Tried multiple things and everything is fresh and clearly homemade.

The first time trying this restaurant we had pupusas and they are delicious! Have come several times to have caldo de res (beef soup) it's the bomb! Especially in those cold winter months. The food is fresh any day of the week. The pork chops are nice and tender and juicy served with a side of guacamole, rice and sweet plantains that are simply delicious. It's a finish your plate all the time no doggie bag leftovers. The agua de jamaica is also just right! Fresh home cooked meals. read more

This place serves authentic Guatemalan food that my father said "transported him to being in Guatemala when he was a young boy." It was such a nice treat for him, as we came on Father's Day and were treated wonderfully by the owner and staff. We ordered different combination platters, to try a little bit of everything (since this was our first time). My plate came with a papusa, chuchito, plantains, rice, black beans, and a potato taquito. The chuchito was by far my favorite thing.....everything is packed with flavor and tasted incredible. Plus, the setting is nice, cozy, and clean. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was horrible I ordered a pupusa loca but it was just tortilla no flavor no meat it was horrible very disappointing to see this will not be ordering food from here any more if I would be able to give it 0 stars I would. read more

A very low-key, authentic. restaurant. While nothing was terrible, nothing was exceptional either. Average service, ambience, and food. It is BYOB. They serve complimentary chips. There were two salsas. The green one was spicy and really tasty. Revolcado: Pork stew with tongue, liver, and heart. I was warned by the waiter that I should only order this if I like pork- which I was perfectly fine with. I'm a huge fan or innards and have eaten them in a lot of my own traditional dishes. The flavor of the stew was good but the biggest issue I had was the smell. It was very hard to ignore the strong porky smell indicating that the innards weren't cleaned as well as they could have been. read more

I went and ordered pupusas. I paid for extra container of the curtido. I did not ask for it. But I paid extra! She gave me one container saying it was a bigger container.but it obviously was not. So basically I was paying extra but not getting more curtido. I called her back and she stated she would give me more curtido. I went back and the waiter was super rude and demanded the original container to be returned. He started a blame game and was disrespectful. I will not be going back to this place, since we have had similar issues with them prior. read more

Great food very authentic! Definitely not a hipster place but definitely a place you can go to and get authentic Salvadoran and Guatemalan food! You don't get too many restaurants that have that authentic feel as if you are in Central America! Loved the food the people were very polite and courteous! Will definitely be back! read more
