We sat outside and it was sheltered from any wind or street noise. And it was heated none of us wore our jackets. Some of the best bites were: 1.

Pupusa de elote Drinks were also tasty and unique They ended up giving is way too much food but brought plenty of to-go boxes. Definitely recommended as a new spot to try out in Oakland.

I went again recently to celebrate with my daughters and we had the best pupusas. If you want an authentic pupusa and dessert and horchata, this is the most authentic in town.

And the Birria is super duper delicious as well, Very crispy, juicy, meaty and cheesy and had a side of chili oil. Love it!!! Definitely going back for the PUPUSA HAMBURGER!

The price was disappointingly high, costing more than double for two pupusas alone, adding only a tamale and a small serving of rice which added about $17 to two pupusas alone.

I ran across this place on my way to another restaurant. Pupusa are one of my favorite latinos…read morefoods. They had just opened so there weren't alot of folks in there, so I got seated right way. They have an extensive menu and there are three locations, one close to my house, but love how especially in the University setting they're including in culinary diversity. I settled on the $25 lunch option that came with 2 pupusas of your choice and various sides to choose from. They are listed as different combo. Service is ok, but I tend to like service where they check in once or twice and I'm good, which what they did. They also didn't rush me. I ordered the combo with chicken & Cheese Pupusa and Loroco & Cheese, plantains and rice and beans with sour cream. I love plantains and they gave a healthy portion and I was getting full on that and the rice and the first pupusa. I also love they they bring out a little mason jar of curtido (pickled cabbage) with this little tongs. I also ordered a el salavdorian for chats which I found a lot sweeter than a regular. May check out the Oakland location and compare but Ill definitely come back here.

People usually come for pupusas which are good and a great deal ($7/2). I come for their tamales. The masa is so flavorful and the banana leaf keeps it very moist. It comes piping hot and with curtido and your choice of red or green salsa. I always order pork for more flavor. They also have other plates with fried plantains and other Salvadoran staples. It's an impressive spread for a food truck!

Don't let the location for you. Some of the best pupusas I've ever had (and I have had my fair…read moreshare). Cooked to having a soft center. The masa (corn flour) complements the other flavors without overpowering them. I am not a big believer in perfection, but the way these were cooked came damn close. And this was just the main dish. The cabbage salad, (curtido) that accompanied it was solid as well. Crisp, fresh with the proper acidity. I will be back.

I believe this space was a Burmese restaurant called Tharaphu a few years back. They made a decent…read moretea leaf salad but without the tableside show. I doubt that made much difference to their clientele, but in its place is another family-run business, this time Salvadoran. This one offers more generic plates at student-friendly prices for undiscriminating palates. That's at least my take in the couple of occasions I've tried it after going to the gym. The first time I tried it I couldn't see the menu until I got up to the order counter. Then I made the server wait since the menu was so comprehensive (Photo 5). I went basic and ordered the $16.99 Chicken Platter because the kabob version was five dollars more. It was decent enough though on the bland side with rice, fresh tomato salsa, and a small side salad of iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumber, and radish (Photo 9). The menu mentioned a house white sauce. I didn't see it, but I also didn't miss it either. I came back to try them again. I tried ordering the $14.99 Scrambled Eggs with Beef Chorizo but was told they were out of chorizo. This was looking to be a recurring theme because I was rebuffed the first time when I unsuccessfully ordered the beef gyro. Ironically this time they had the $16.99 Beef Gyro Platter. The rice and salad were identical to my previous platter, the beef was just OK (Photo 10). FOOD - 3 stars...middling meats, edible but not overly appetizing AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious enough and nicely decorated SERVICE - 3 stars...minimal communication on the food and when it will be ready TOTAL - 3 stars...fitting for a student appetite, good enough for the rest of us if expectations are kept in check RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?
