Was craving pupusas and found this place on Yelp. The reviews did not lie. The pupusas are made…read morefresh, which meant a bit of a wait (about 35 minutes of sitting and waiting), but they were absolutely worth it. We ordered the 3-pupusa combo with 2 sides for $17.40, which was totally worth the price. We tried the pork and cheese, squash and cheese, edible flower with cheese, and grilled steak with cheese. Every single one was so good. It was my first time trying edible flower with cheese, and it ended up being my favorite. Super flavorful and generously packed with filling. For the two sides, I got yuca frita and rice and beans. I liked how hot n crispy the yuca frita was and the rice and beans were delish. The Salvadoran horchata was HUGE and cost $5.90, which felt very reasonable for the size. Overall, everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving pupusas.

Food was delicious although some items had a bit too much grease / oil …read more Sadly, the empanadas absorbed too much oil and all you could taste was the oil which was unfortunate. It lacked a crisp crust. Filling was tasty. The horchata was sooo good I wanted free refills ! The pupusas were large and had a good amount of filling and they should be at $5.00 per pupusa. They were 45 cents in El Salvador 22 years ago for comparison. The loroco and cheese was really good ! Revuelta también! The tamale was stuffed but it was too soggy for my liking. Like some water got into the inside of the banana leaf during the cook . Overall it was a great little rincón guanaco ! Try it out. Service was all smiles and fast considering they were busy. Ambience is rustic nice and clean. Wish they played more Salvador music. Hello cumbias ! They were playing a great deal of "fuerza regida" which is good listening too.

The tangy coleslaw on the side was delicious, with a nice crunch that paired really well with the pupusas.

I was craving pupusas and platanos con crema y frijoles for my granddaughter…read more 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.

The curtido and chips/salsa were delish. I'm happy we found this little gem. It's out of our neighborhood, but worth the drive.

DO NOT HESITATE - SUPPORT CRISTINA'S…read more Coming across Cristina's was a bit of a happy accident - I was on the west side and in the mood for pupusas, and Cristina's was nearby. When we walked in, there were a couple of tables filled and 2 groups of people waiting in line. We waited in line before we were asked if we were dining in or taking out, at which point we were prompted to take a seat. We took a while to nail down our order but once we did, it was smooth sailing. Our server brought out our drinks, as well as cutlery, and sauces. The pupusas took a while (freshly made and to order, plus many to-go orders) That said the wait was SO worth it. Aside from the pupusas my mom makes these are the BEST I've had in Arizona. They didn't skimp on the fillings and they were burnt or undercooked. They were just right! The curtido was fairly standard (I just wished there was a little more of it) - and I wish the salsas were spicier (but I am also conscious that not every culture has spicy foods). I WILL be back, and I strongly encourage you to give them a try. --- Honestamente las mejores pupusas que e comido en un restaurante en el estado. Recomendadas!!
