I was craving pupusas and platanos con crema y frijoles for my granddaughter. As I picked up the menu, I noticed they did not have "prices" on the menu. Then I asked the lady how much were the pupusas. She said, $4.50 for beans and cheese and revueltas only. Now, I know that everyone blames the economy but really, these small pupusas and not enough beans on the platano dish and she is charging me $26.00 for 3 bean and cheese pupusas and the platano dish and then charges me a fee to use y debit card without telling me there is a fee. I'm visiting from California and I haven't paid $4.50 for a pupusa in Cali yet. I don't recommend this place .....sorry. read more

This was my first time ordering from here. I got three pupusas and the two-tamale plate. The pupusas were okay, but unfortunately the tamales had a really unpleasant taste, almost as if they were no longer fresh. I even called the restaurant and left a message, but never received a call back. Sadly, I had to throw the tamales away because I was worried they might make me sick. read more

Rip off I went in got 4 super pupusas and the lady said it was 42 when I checked they charged me 58 when I called them the lady changed the price and said the total was 56 plus tax check your total they will rip you off! read more

Marleny was wonderful,kind and professional . She was patient with us. I only speak a little bit of Spanish but they have numbers with English interpretations underneath!! The food is made fresh and with care ! The smell of food cooking is my favorite smell! The ambiance is so homie and warm feeling ! This definitely is a hidden Gem !! We will be back !! read more

We found a new pupusa spot y'all!! I ordered two number 27 combos. To one of them I added some casamiento, scrambled eggs and an extra pupusa revuelta WITH a side of queso fresco. All of those for $42 dollars. Did they lose their minds by not charging 10$ for extra plantains ? Absolutely not. These women know how to cook, they know hot to price the food and they know how to treat customers! The plantains were half ripe and just right. The other half needed to ripen a bit longer. The pupusas were 10/10 . Competing against my mothers and doing VERY well. The curtido was missing that pungent tang of the vinegar, but other than that this was an amazing experience and we will be returning. Ambience was welcoming , authentic and vibrant. read more

Pupusas Doña Mary never goes wrong. Pupusas are made to order and delicious! Highly recommend. If you're ordering to go call in and place your order as they may take 15-20 to make your order. read more

Love Salvadoran food. Great place to eat some milanesa or some Pupusas great spot. They also have the banana dessert read more

They were ok not the best the curtido was to salty and they didn't have any horchata salvadoreña

I got 3 queso frijole and 3 revueltas papusas they were ok but definitely not worth the price 28.50 with tax. I don't think I'll be coming back read more

Pupusas Dona Mary - 4 papusas ( I only ate 2) - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Delicious and made fresh and there prices are the best would recommend to anyone if it's there first time trying pupusas

Delicious pupusas but overpriced (like most things are now.) Would still recommend to family and friends.

This was my first visit. The staff is friendly and accomdating, and thats why I feel terriberible having to say the food just wasn't very good. On this visit we ordered beef empanadas, pupusas, and tamales. I was disappointed with the beef empanadas as I was with the tamales, the meat was somewhat dry and slightly overcooked and the tamales had an unappetizing flavor and we just could not eat them. The pupusas, however, were okay. The pricing is very wallet friendly, you can get a better meal, but you'll have a hard time getting more food for the price. read more

It's quite rare to find an El Salvadorian restaurant in Phoenix, so when I heard about this restaurant I was eagerly awaiting to try it like a child on Christmas morning. And I was not disappointed because this place surpassed my expectations. The food is made fresh upon order, and the staff provides a friendly, inviting atmosphere that you don't find when visiting chain restaurants. I actually went to the new location, Pupusas Dona Mary # 2, on 32nd and just North of Greenway Road. However, they do not have a help page for the new location, so I am shouting my exaltation here. read more

Pupusas Dona Mary - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm giving this restaurant only 1 star because someone that works at this restaurant should have a little understanding of the English language. it is super frustrating to go to a restaurant that no one speak English and also there are no prices listed. They have a huge menu posted so you can see what you want but HELLO they have put black tape over the prices so even if you wanted to know how much something is good luck. Ive gone here a few times, ordered 4 bean and cheese pupusasa and not one time have I paid the same amount. No hair nets, tiuching the food with no gloves was what I saw the last time I went. I would advise going someplace else. read more

These pupusas are so good and I have never even ventured to try another place since I tried them four years ago. No need to switch it up! The cabbage is also so crispy and yummy and the salsa perfect. They are made by hand and you can see your meal being made for you if you watch. They require masks here but I unfortunately see some of the employees having masks around their chins at times. Open for dine in ! But there are only a few tables available (I'd say about four). Oh yes, and be sure to order ahead by phone to pick up food. They can take a while to make if you order in store. read more

The food is delicious!! But the service is trash! They take very long to get your order ready. Waited over an hour with no one else in line! read more

Amazing food. I totally recommend this place for salvadorian food especially the popusas plate.

Empty restaurant and staff ignored me for someone who stood behind me in line. Will definitely not be back. Terrible customer service.

La comida está entre el promedio, nada extraordinario. En cambio los precios, son tan altos que ni siquiera los ponen en el Menu. Casi $40 por dos desayunos sin bebida?, Wow! Mejor voy a IHOP... No volvería allí muy pronto. read more

This place was definitely different. And not in a bad way. They menu has a lot of different plate combinations you can chose from. I got 2 pupusas and 1 tamal. Let me tell you!!!! It was delicious! Pupusa was a revuelta so that means beans cheese and pork. The tamal was a pork tamal. Its definitely not ur typical tamal but it was pretty good. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Pupusas Dona Mary - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fried chicken was dry and cold in the middle. Would have sent it back but no one working there was fluent enough in English to get the message across. (Had to all 3 different people for silverware. Was able to get idea across through pantomime.) Pupusas (bean, cheese, pork) was good, but will not be going back. Definitely a disappointment. read more

Horrible service , they don't give you the drink you paid for until they have time. Food is sub par and the salsa and curtido is bland .

Ordered online, had proof of payment. Said they don't offer online ordering even though it's on their website. Had to pay again.

This place has the best pupusas revueltas so far loved it we tried them in a holiday event in Tolleson. We are a fan! Now. Loved the mix and blended into the community they had champurrado liked and pupusas baby loved it too! read more

The service was horrible, they just give dirty looks for everything, should've gone to Reina de las pupusas.

The pupusas, were very delicious so was the chicken Tamale. They have an assortment of beers, and soft drinks including natural fruit drinks. They offer the traditional Salvadorian tomato salsa as well as a more spicy green salsa. The staff is friendly and courteous. Just one thing I was not to thrilled with. Was the 1 dollar charge for using a credit or debit card. Other than that I will definitely recommend and will coming back. They have karaoke night as well in the evening. read more

Excellent service and great tasting home style cooked meals. Definitely recommend it!

This place is a little spot behind the cvs the popusas are so good and fairly priced I'd recommend the chicharon con cheese one

The water was very good! Authentic place to come and eat. However my food wasn't fully cooked when I was eating it the "masa" was still raw. Pupusas de chicharrón mucha sal. Pero las aguas bien Ricas. Pienso que este lugar puede aser un mejor esfuerzo con la comida. La gente muy amable nomás es la comida se le pasó algunas cosas masa cruda y muy saldada mi plato. Provecho. ! read more

I came in today to place a small order "To Go" but as soon as I walked in, the lady asked me if I was paying with a card... I said, 'Yes.' She advised me that their machine was down. I could see two other women back and forth on the phone trying to get the issue fixed. I checked my wallet and I saw that I had $20 cash - perfect, because it was enough for the order I was going to make. I let her know I could place my order after all and proceeded to order from the menu in front of me. By the time she had my total, she said $19.49 so I handed her the $20 bill on my hand and she took it... she looks at her screen and then extends her hand back towards me with the bill and says, we fixed the machine did you still want to pay for it with your card? I said, 'Sure.' She gives me back my $20 bill, and I take my Debit card out. Once she swiped my card, she says, 'I'm sorry I forgot to ask you if you wanted to do Debit?' but since I didn't mind, I just entered my pin on the keypad and she gave me my receipts - Order detail and transaction receipt. My total had changed to $20.49 When I reviewed my receipt, I noticed that THEY CHARGED ME $1.00 TO USE MY CARD!!! They have SEVERAL signs posted everywhere in their restaurant and I did not see one nor was I advised that there was a fee to use my card, especially when she knew I had already handed her cash! Now I understand why they have such a huge sign saying: WE CANT EXCHANGE FOOD OR MONEY AFTER AN ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED. So I didn't say anything because I wanted to enjoy my food and I had ordered it 'To Go' for a reason. I waited 25 minutes to get my meal. I ordered three #43 'Empanadas de Platano' ($1.50/ea) they are DELICIOUS and a good size. Make sure you eat them when they're served warm. They make them very good. I had #44 'Platano Frito con Crema' ($5.95) and that was good too. The fried plantains were cooked perfectly and the refried beans w/crema were just right. The sad part is that their Pupusas were not good at all, at least not today. I only ordered two of the Pork with Cheese and the third with Loroco. They were small and not filled much. The curtido/coleslaw was very plain, not like the traditional Salvadorian curtido I've tried everywhere. The tomato sauce was mild but very watery. I will only go back for the empanadas de platano here but as far as the Pupusas... no, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I paid $2.50/each and they weren't even good at all. read more

Amazing pupusas and 5 star quality customer service. Today I ordered 20 pupusas for a banquet and needed them early in the morning. Even though the restaurant doesn't open until 9:00 a.m. the owner graciously came in at 7:00 a.m. which was the time I told her I needed to pick up the food. This type of service creates devoted customers for life! I wish other restaurants and businesses in general would understand that all you have to do is show commitment and go out of your way just a little and customers will notice and keep coming back, what a concept.. Thank you Dona Mary for helping me out!! This is the least I can do to return the favor, much appreciate your service and food:) read more

Pupusas Dona Mary - Delicious!! - Salvadoran Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Best place everrrrrrr ! I'm so sad I moved 40mins away but I always try to stop in at least once a week because hey the drive is totally worth it lol . read more

Ordered one of each of their pupusas. They were made to order, really fresh. The cashier was very nice and the people seemed happy to want to help you. The curtido was nice and crisp, hate when it's been sitting out in a while.. their salsas weren't very spicy, but that's ok cuz they had other sauces available on the table. The agua de Jamaica was one of the best ones I've had in a while. Would really recommend this place if you're craving great and fresh pupusas. read more

The pupusas are perfect! This is a little, hidden-away joint tucked in between a bunch of industrial companies. It's a tiny whole-in-the-wall, family owned joint (from El Salvador). Their pupusas are perfectly seasoned, hand made, and delicious; every single time. read more

My mother "give them all the stars!" Lol. The food was great. Authentic? Absolutely. The pupusas are not big in size like in most pupuserias I've been to but they are decently sized. I wasn't very hungry when I came in, had some, loved it and ordered more pupusas. I couldn't finish my first plate but that's how good they were. They didn't have diet soda but they were nice enough to allow me to bring in a Diet Coke from the CVS across. With the little army I came in here with, we had: 7 pupusas 2 tamales Platanos con cream (desert) Plato de chicharon (big portion) Rice 3 drinks All for 31 dollars. read more

Delicious, authentic, and affordable. I come here all the time and i have never been dissapointed. Place is also very clean even the restrooms lol. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Best Salvadoran food I've had in the valley. Chicken tamales were excellent, especially the masa. Pupusas filled with beans and cheese. Reminded me of Venezuelan arepas. Yummmmm. Not a fancy place but they have a long menu, something to please everyone, and great home-style cooking. Enjoy! read more
