This was an online delivery order, so I'm not sure the location/parking and all of those details. This definitely hit the spot for a craving. I was having, the pupusas were fresh, not too oily and had great flavor. The sweet plantains were a little bit bitter, but the condensed milk sauce was great. However, I do think that this is very expensive for what you're getting. read more

I ordered from Uber eats at around 9pm and though I want to support this business so maybe it was the time, but the horchata tasted like syrup and artificial. The pupusas were bland by itself. The sauce and cabbage added the flavor. The cabbage was the best part. Probably won't be ordering from here unless it's in person. read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of this restaurant. This restaurant was delivered by Uber eats in a faster than timely matter.. a job well done.. I order a pupusa combo . With beef, hot sauce has beans and rice.. I was not impressed . For the price the portions were too small as far as I was concerned.. I like the hot sauce. It was spicy enough.. a very small portion of refried beans, rice and just like having meat between two flour tortillas.... As far as what I was concerned, it was just like Mexican food . And I've had larger and better portions from other places.. But if you like El Salvadoran food and this is all good for you . I will pass on El Salvador food and just stick with the other Mexican and so so so far. read more

I'm visiting San Jose from out of the area. I wanted to eat some pupusas. I have been used to order this type of food from a truck or restaurant. This placed is not what I thought. First the building is in a weird location you think you are about to get mugged, this place is not a truck or restaurant. Is located inside of a building that you would think they are dealing drugs. There are guy and girls (Uber eats, DoorDash, etc) picking up food non stop and all kinds of foods not just Salvadorean food. Apparently you order this via Uber Eats DoorDash etc., because of you want to order your food you order it via an iPad. No people interaction. Finally when I got my food about 30 min later it was ok, my order was not all complete. I definitely next time I will NOT order from this place again, just not what I was expecting in food quality and the price was pretty high too. Definitely I will not recommend this place. read more

This place was good - much better than a pupusa restaurant we had tried in the area. Ordering and grabbing the food was pretty easy. This place is pretty pricey for its location, typically the locations here are a little more affordable than brick and mortar locations. I got the 4 pupusas plate for $24. I selected 2 bean and cheese and 2 chicken and cheese. Typically other locations charge less for the bean and cheese pupusas and more for the meat pupusas - not here. However, I enjoyed the bean and cheese pupusas and my partner enjoyed the chicken ones. I also appreciated that they give you the option to select the type of salsa you would like, if you'd like mild or spicy. read more

I've never had pupusas before, but I really wanted to try it. I happened to come across this food truck outside of Santa Clara Valley Hospital, so I got the 2 pupusa plate for$10. I got a Bean and Cheese Pupusa, and a Carne Asada Pupusa. It came with Curtido, which is pickled veggies, and I got the spicy salsa. The bean and Cheese pupusa was good, but it didn't have much filling, and it was mostly beans with a tiny bit of beans. Most of the flavor came from the curtido and salsa. I don't know how the Carne Asada with cheese pupusa is like because they ended up giving me 2 bean and cheese pupusas, and I wasn't near the truck when I found out. The food was hot and they make it to order so it's fresh, but I don't think I'd try them again. read more

Pupusa Time - 2 Pupusa Plate - Salvadoran Near Me - San Jose, California

First time trying pupusa and this place was so good! The service was fast and the ambiance was great. The salsa and the salad was a great combination with the pupusa. The pork beans and cheese is the best one. I the mushroom and cheese was good too but the mushroom made the pupusa a little soggy. Overall will definitely order again! read more

Pupusa Time - Salvadoran Near Me - San Jose, California

I showed up in person to the Ruff St Food Market and a really nice door dasher showed me how to order and pick up my food. I can't have dairy so I always have to ask for no cheese on pupusas. I saw a birria one on menu and ordered it only to find out at home it had cheese. I was really disappointed. The pupusas also didn't taste great hours later, it is one of those places you have to eat them right away. They also didn't label the different pupusas I ordered (3 diff kinds) so I had no idea which was which. Other pupuserias will mark on box the order of them in the tray or separate them by foil. The curtido was spicy and extra vinegary so it wasn't my preference. Their spicy sauce was just straight chile. Honestly, just wasn't satisfied. read more

I tried the steak and chicken pasteles (empanada-like snacks) and it was pretty good. The shells tasted just like the corn tortillas typically used to wrap enchiladas, and the meat inside both was juicy with good flavor, not too outstanding, but not bland. And it went perfectly with the same fresh and delicious salsa and curtido that comes with the pupusas. The staff provided standard service and my order took no more than 10 minutes to be ready. They have covered outdoor seating, but I took my order to go and it was packed nicely, hot and ready to eat. Parking was easy as there's 2-3 food trucks in this plaza that share a lot with other businesses, and Pupusa Time is right next to the Alliance gas station. I'd return, but next time I'm trying the pupusas! read more

Been driving past this food truck many times as we like getting Kona Island Coffee in the same parking lot around the corner and noticed this place always has people there. SO decided to give them a try and I'm SO GLAD we did!!! Got the 2 Pupusa plate - the Chicharron and Polo Con Queso. HIGHLY recommend especially with the pickled cabbage and we added the mild salsa! It was SO GOOD... not as stuffed as I'm used to but still had tons of flavor!! Our FAVORITE is the enchilada pollo combo! OMG - SO good! Keep in mind this is a Salvadoran enchilada - not your mexican type enchilada that sits on a masa disk. It was cruncy, meaty, with so much flavor - again - adding the cruncy cabbage and the salsa - a flavor and texture bomb. AND their rice and beans had lots of flavor as well - beans - so creamy and deep flavor - rice so fluffy and light! We also decided to try their pasteles asada - which are like little fried empanadas! Crispy, crunchy and lots of meat!! So good... And of course our all time favorite which it's only available at Salvadorian places - their plantanos con frijol y creama - which is the plantanos with creamy beans and their creama... The most DELICIOUS bite!! This is our family all time favorite and I'm so happy they have it and they are so close by!! Will definitely be coming back and trying other meats and dishes. Want to try their plantano empanada - more sweet than savory!! :) OH and service - the guy taking our order was so patient - explaining all the dishes - and it was all packed up nicely and he repeats the order when he hands it to you so you feel confident you're getting everything!! read more

Pretty good pupusas! I have passed by this truck so many times and never gave it much thought until another mom recently mentioned it on fb. My friend and I decided to try it out for lunch on Wednesday since she was craving some pupusas. We arrived around 11:30. There was no line when we arrived, so we took our time looking at the menu. We finally settled on: Revueltas pupusas: 4/5 very tasty, be sure to add all the toppings! Carne pupusas: 3/5 the one above is better, trust me. Enchiladas frijoles: 4/5 yummy crunchy fried flat shell with refried beans slathered on top. Yum! And we got some to go too: Same as above and Pasteles pollo: 4/5 yum! The outside is similar to the shell of the enchilada, and the chicken filling was tasty. Highly recommend this. Friendly service. It did take a while to get our food as they make it when you order it. So I will remember to order ahead next time. There were a few tables in the shade if you want to eat there. So glad I tried this place. Will be coming back! read more

Pupusa Time - 4 papusa plate: 2) pollo & queso 2) burria and queso - Salvadoran Near Me - San Jose, California

I got a large bone in my chicken quesadilla today. Almost chipped my tooth. Not great food also my friends burrito had CHUNKS of chicken

They are located across from Fremont High school behind the gas station. It is a bright blue and green food truck with a big window so you can watch them prepare all of your delicious pupusas :] There is a small parking lot with easy parking in front of them. They have soo many options for pupusas! They also offer different food options too like platanos and flautas. They have a normal menu and daily specials as well! We were excited to try some of their different offerings. We came 20 min before they closed on a Thurs-- wait was 15 min with no one else, but I think they might have had some phone orders. We ordered: Chicharron with cheese Pupusa Revueltas Pupusa - lots of beans Spinach and cheese Pupusa - healthier option Garlic amd cheese Pupusa - big pieces of garlic and you can smell it! (I love garlic though haha). This one was our favorite. Platanos with condensed milk - make sure you mix the condensed milk before eating. This was okay, not too sweet. They write the names of the pupusas on foil covered plates so you know which ones are which. Comes with pickled vegetables and salsa (Mild or spicy). We got the mild salsa. Come try them-- it's Pupusa Time! read more

My previous coworker used to make pupusas and that was one of the first times I've tried it. It was SO good and I've been craving it ever since then. Not many Salvadoran food trucks around this area and F I N A L L Y NOT in San Jose! I looked up pupusas on yelp and found this gem in Sunnyvale! Ordered 1 chicharron, 2 beans, 3 cheese pupusas. My favorite one was the cheese. !!ATTENTION CHEESE LOVERS, they were not skimpy with the cheese!! Oooohh, burnt cheese on the edges too. Delicious. Can't have pupusas without curtido (pickled "slaw" cabbage/carrot/jalapeno etc..) THIS! Made everything came together. I could eat this by itself honestly lol they give you a good amount of it too but I would like extra next time because it's that good! Looks like a family owned business and the amount of care goes into each pupusa is amazing. SOLD! & SUPPORT! Even some leftovers, it's still really good when you heat it on the pan to make it crispy. Can't wait to come back! read more

Falafel stop was closed on a Wednesday, so we went across the street to try out this place. The pupusas were a good size, the jalapeño cheese one was really good. The rice tasted amazing, full of flavor and of fluffy texture. Everything was really good. I tried the Salvadoran Horchata, it was nutty and creamy, tasted pretty good. They even had tables outside for you to sit. It looks like it belongs to the Indian Biryani place but you can actually sit there in the shade. It was a great lunch! read more

This spot is amazing for some authentic Salvadorian pupusas!! I looked up pupusas , since I was craving some good pupusas! I have a spot I usually go to, but this popped up on my yelp search. I decided to give it a try! I ordered 4 pupusas, one chicharron, one pollo, one jalapeño/frijol and one queso/frijol. The wait time was minimal, since they are hand made it's definitely worth the wait. Service was really pleasant and they are super nice! When I ate my pupusas, which by the way 4 is A LOT, they tasted soooo good! The fresh hand made masa and fresh stuffed ingredients tasted so filling and good. The recorto (pickled veggies) added that crisp bite in every mouthful! I defined recommend going to this spot! It is a good truck so you most likely will take it to go, they also have a table there to sit and enjoy them hot if it's not full. The food truck is located in a large parking lot, so plenty of space to park. The price is very reasonable and I definitely will be going again! read more

I've been on a mission to find very authentic Salvadorian pupusas in the Bay Area and that led me to pupusa time food truck. I went there thinking that the pupusas costed $3.75 but once I got there they were $4.75. One single pupusa for almost $5! I decided to bite the bullet and get one pupusa and some plantain empanadas because the reviews were few but they were really good throughout. The wait time was short so that was great especially because I was hungry. Unfortunately the only thing I really liked was the curtido. The empanadas de plátano were oily and it tasted like the plátanos weren't ripped enough given it an odd texture and almost bitter flavor. The pupusa was pretty small for the price, there was an uneven ratio of cheese and pork and it wasn't seasoned enough. I had high hopes but considering the size, flavor and price of everything I was sadly let down. read more

The pupusas were pretty average & it costs more than other pupuserias. Ive had better in other places. The masa was kind of dry that day I purchased and the zucchini and cheese lacked some flavor, but the reubuelta one I had was the best tasting in my order that day read more

Got pupusas (lloroco, revueltas, chicken) and pastelitos (chicken) delivery. Ready surprisingly quick. Everything was hot and fresh when it arrived. Excellent flavor! The lloroco was super tasty with lots of cheese. The revueltas was probably my second favorite. And the pastelitos are a must-get, fantastic and delicious. Nothing at all was too dry or anything like that. Highly recommend both the pastelitos and pupusas with spicy salsa and pickles. Put a little of each with every bite for perfection. Will definitely be trying more from this spot! read more

Wanted papusa, and this place was close. It's a food truck, but there are a couple of tables and chairs so you eat here or get your food to go. The people were friendly and polite. The food was ready pretty quickly, and IMHO was very good. 2 papusas for $10. But if you're hungry, they have a plate with rice, beans, and 3 papusas for $15. read more

Pupusa Time - Two papusa plate $10 - Salvadoran Near Me - San Jose, California

This was my second time ordering from this place, and I must say WHAT A TREAT. I ordered for my family and had 8 pupusas for dinner, my recommendations for the pupusas have to be the carne asada, the pork rinds, and the chicken and cheese pupusas. The pupusas were hand delivered at the ruff drive location by a kind worker after I placed an order over the phone. I must say I will be ordering from here again!!!!! read more

The Pupusa were on the smaller size and dry needed more favor (salt) I had to add some on top even with the salsa didn't have enough favor like other Pupusa I've had before ( I was really craving them and I still am this was not that satisfying) read more

Best Pupusas in the Bay Area! They are not small, they are a perfect size for the price. They got sazón! This is the first Pupusas spot where I've been where they have an additional homemade hot sauce, and OMG is it good!! You can ask for the hot sauce and regular, mix it and get yourself a mild sauce. It gives it that additional kick and taste like no other. read more

Ordered a super burrito thru webox and oh boy, this has got to be the smallest super burrito I ever seen. It should be illegal. The burrito was literally the size of taco. Adding insult to injury, there was hardly any filling.. perhaps 5 pieces of steak, no sour cream, bits of rice... just sad... I'm still shocked that they are charging $12 for this. I had to double check the box to make sure the order was right. Stay away from this place. read more

Someone highly recommend this place to me. However, I was disappointed. The Pupusas were small and mostly dough! I had revueltas and beans and cheese. I give 3 stars to be nice. Really more like 2.5 stars! Service: they took my order and they were not rude. Price: it was not cheap! Quality: needs improvement! There is another pupusa place on El Camino on the way to Mt. View that is making them much better! read more

We ordered a plate of pupusas with both pork and carne asada. We got them both with spicy sauce which I recommend because it has some stang to it. It was a good truck located inside of a shopping center across from Fremont High school. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture of the pupusas itself because it reminds me of a quesadilla just more doughy. I'd order this again for sure! read more

Pupusas are so good here! We got the chicharon with cheese pupusa and they were so good! (it's meat with cheese) definitely recommend them! My boyfriend has tried them before but without the curtido (cabbage they give you on the side) & mild salsa. And this time i made him put all the fixings and he said he really enjoyed it! It's the best way to enjoy the pupusas! So good! read more

The service is amazing, it's easy to call and order. The food was ready when I arrived, it was nice and hot. The pupusas are full of flavor, they have a great variety of fillings it's a cheesy goodness.

They are cooked well, flavorful and the price is so reasonable.. If you like pupusas you have to try these read more

This place has good reviews, so I decided to try because I love papusas! I must have gone on an off day, because the papusas here were really bad. Not only were they small, they were dry, very little filling, and tasteless. I ordered one with beans and cheese, there wasn't any cheese oozing out, nor did it have much cheese. Couldn't even taste any cheese, or the beans for that matter. Also ordered the pork and cheese, again no gooey cheese, nor could I taste any pork. Blech! Just small disks of tasteless nothingness. If you want a good papusa, go to Karlita's in Redwood City on Woodside Rd. They have awesome papusas!! read more

I'm sorry, this is a "no" for me. My BF and I have been on a pupusa binge lately, eating some great pupusas in Newark, so we continued our binge with Pupusa time. Unfortunately, this was not a good time for pupusas. The traditional ones did not have much flavor; they were bland. And the curtido was not tasty at all; It didn't even taste fresh, so we did not eat it after the first bite. The orange sauce was alright - it made the pupusa a tad better. We also ordered the Horchata and it had too much cinnamon. It also was a bit on the thick side - maybe it needed more ice? My bf is obsessed with Horchata but he didn't even finish it. So it's a "no" for us but the people were nice so that was a bummer. read more

A simple menu, excellent quality. While it is a food truck, apparently they take advance orders! When we went it took I think 20-30 to get our order, but they offered a picnic table and hand sanitizer if you needed to sit. There isn't a lot of markers for social distancing, but there is a bunch of space/parking lot available to keep your distance. They had gloves, a mask and they were very organized with the orders that were queued! They have two salsas, one house and one spicy, and honestly, both were spicy, lol. The only comment is that we wished there was a little bit more depth to the salsas, but the pupusas were BIG and stuffed! They were excellent. read more

These people are by far have the best customer service that I've ever had o given the fact that they are in a food truck. The cook takes such pride in her cooking. I believe they are family owned and operated which you can tell in the care and quality of food and service they provide. It can take some time for your food, but its definitely worth the wait. They pack it very well so stuff isn't spilling when your driving home. Keep up the great work guys! read more
