I expected soup only, but it came with soup & a chicken dinner on the side - or maybe the soup was the side. Overall, the soup was delicious & it made me feel better. This will most likely become my go to spot for soup. It was full of flavor. I also plan to try something different when I return. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars due to the wait time. It took a lot longer than I expected.

It has beautiful interior, good music, vibrant colors, and has an authentic feel to it whihc is really nice. I love supporting minority owned businesses, especially family owned, and you can feel the love when you walk into the restaurant. II had great service and got my food quick! I love that everything is made fresh and with great pricing! I had the Pupusas de Camaron, Pastelitos de Carne, & Horchata! My food came out hot & everything was delicious & the horchata? chef's kiss! The pupusas were so flavorful & the shrimp was perfectly seasoned (10/10)! The pastelitos de carne were my favorite, so delicious and filling! I'm looking forward to returning to the restaurant and would highly recommend this place!

These pupusas were good. However, a bit pricey and couldn't really taste the chicharron. The chicken tamal had good flavor but was lacking chicken. The plantains were a bit too oily for me. It's hard to find good Salvadoran food in this side of town so I'll probably be back to try other things.

My husband had been wanting to try this place for monthes and we finally did. Wasn't disappointed!…read more It's alot bigger than it seems. We had the meat pies, cheese only papusas, fajita pupusas, chicken/cheese pupusas & shrimp/ cheese. The fajita was TOOOOOO DAMN GOOD. Idk what's in that meat, (crack??) but I'm usually a big seafood eater, those were everybody favorite & we only got 3 of each between a family of 6. *tear* The food was delish, it was very clean. We did a take out order. The cashier was nice. They forgot our little meat pies we ordered & my husband had to drive back. (Luck for use we only stay about 5-6 mins up the road.) they were already closing up, locked the door and everything. The cashier remebered him & opened the door. He retrieved them & she apologized. But the crazy thing before leaving the 1st time he went back in real quick to asked are you sure is everything in there- salsa & all. She said yes & we left. Now no matter how heavy bag feels we we'll check the food! Lmao

This restaurant is an absolute standout! I tried a variety of pupusas--cheese, cheese and beans,…read moreand chicharrón with cheese--and every single one was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and authentic, with just the right balance of crispiness and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Not only was the food fantastic, but it was also priced very reasonably, making it an incredible value. But what really sets this place apart is the excellent hospitality. The owner took the time to personally greet us and share the inspiring story of how he started the restaurant. It's clear he has a true passion for both food and people, and it made the dining experience that much more special. From the warm welcome to the great food, this place has it all. 10/10, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the Pasadena area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic pupusas and a genuinely great dining experience! ¡Este restaurante es absolutamente destacado! Probé una variedad de pupusas (queso, queso y frijoles, y chicharrón con queso) y todas estaban cocinadas a la perfección. Los sabores eran ricos y auténticos, con el equilibrio justo entre lo crujiente y lo delicioso que se derrite en la boca. No solo la comida era fantástica, sino que también tenía un precio muy razonable, lo que la convertía en una relación calidad-precio increíble. Pero lo que realmente distingue a este lugar es la excelente hospitalidad. El propietario se tomó el tiempo para saludarnos personalmente y compartir la inspiradora historia de cómo fundó el restaurante. Está claro que tiene una verdadera pasión tanto por la comida como por las personas, y eso hizo que la experiencia gastronómica fuera mucho más especial. Desde la cálida bienvenida hasta la excelente comida, este lugar lo tiene todo. 10/10, definitivamente regresaré cada vez que esté en el área de Pasadena. ¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que busque pupusas auténticas y una experiencia gastronómica realmente excelente!

They advised us on the food selection and let us sample a soup before we committed to order full portion. The restaurant was clean. Food and drinks: Tradicional cooking methods and flavours in every dish. Good selection of pupusas with various fillings. The pupusas were well cooke, not greasy and evenly filled with cheese. The yucca was fried perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The soup with tripe was flavoursome and hearty. Ensalada drink was really good too. You can also buy here ready made sweets, cheeses and bottled drinks. Pricing: $$ - definitely worth trying.

There are Salvadoran spots all over the city, but I'm semi-convinced that one of the best is right here in Stafford. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but upon entering the doors, one will find a spacious restaurant with a TV or two with plenty of seating. The service is prompt and kind. There is no pretension here, which is my favorite kind of vibe. Aside from the desayuno (breakfast) special, which comes with a tamal, plantains, chorizo, eggs, with cream and queso at $14, there is nothing on the breakfast menu that exceeds $10. I'm sure prices were friendlier before, but this place really does an excellent job in stretching the value for most food. The main dishes (plato fuertes) are all around $13, unless one wants the parrillada (meat platter) for two, which comes at a cool $30. After ordering a handful of different pupusas, a couple of tamales, and a couple of drinks, my bill was $14 flat. The pupusas themselves are excellent. They're wonderfully grilled with just the right amount of char and filling. The runaway winners are the mixtas, which are filled with beans and pork and are excellent with the accompanying slaw and spicy vinegar. While the corn tamale was a bit too dry for my taste, the addition of crema was huge. I thought the chicken tamal was significantly better, and was texturally an excellent antojito (#2). I would highly recommend folks give their pastelitos a shot, as well as tostadas and baleadas during breakfast. Pro tip: come for their happy hour, which is on Sundays between 4 PM and 7 PM where pupusas are $1.80 each. There is a max of 15 per person. ____________ (#1) The OG: https://www.yelp.com/biz/lazo-1-pupuseria-y-restaurante-houston (#2) A snack.

It is basically counter service restaurant but also has one aisle of food products which I presume is also Salvadoran. There are tables to eat in but I didn't see anyone dining in on a Saturday afternoon. The lady behind the counter was nice but I'm not sure if she speaks English. She was perfectly content with my broken Spanish. I ordered two pupusas con loroco y queso. It took her 5-10 minutes to make and cook them up in the kitchen. It was a lot of food for 5 dollars so I tipped her generously. She assumed I was taking them out by packing them but said she could get me a plate to dine in. I didn't argue and took them home happily. The curtido had a strong oregano flavour and the red sauces weren't too spicy. Next time I will order more along with the desayuno salvadorean.
