Menu 31 Mar. 2023
Stephen F.

31/03/23-16:30-Excellent food. Friendly service. Good English spoken but Spanish speaking is much appreciated. I had the Camarones Empanizados(deep fried shrimp with chips). My first time having Papusas. A type of tortilla. Very yummy. I'm not a fan of judías(beans), but it's very yummy here. Rice is tasty too. Staff very friendly and attentive. Fair prices by San Francisco standards. Highly recommended! Outer Mission area.

super pupusa $4.50

Almost all the tables were filled on a Wednesday for lunch. That's pretty rare for an outer Mission restaurant nowadays. It is a testament on how good the food is. The waitress carded me for my vaccine card before allowing me to order. I had the super pupusas $4.50 and a prawn soup $14.50 for lunch. The super pupusas had a good amount of cheese, chicken and little pieces of vegetables inside. My prawn soup had six pieces of shrimp with vegetables on a red tomato base. Both were very good and I had no complaints. I liked how I can dip the tortilla onto the soup and eat it soaked with soup. That was a good lunch.

Pupusa combo

Everytime I come here the lady is so nice and I always order the pupusa combo ! It's sooo good I'm telling y'all don't go to the one down the st come to this one it's sooo good I'm telling you !

New menu

New menu 2021 You can eat inside if you prove that you have your COVID vaccine or you can take it, waiting time 30 minutes ,

Side order of "plátanos frito" fried plantain. Good

Lunch date with my love. Waiting time 15 minutes for food to arrive to our table. But it was worth the wait we arrived around 12:00pm and finished at 1:10pm. We had a great experience trying Central American cuisine and we weren't disappointed. We'll be returning soon with friends/family. Customer service was great.

Having dinner!

The pupusas are very good especially the mixed bean and pork. Crispy outside from the cheese and well seasoned.

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
