Pupusas are thick, stuffed corn masa filled with things like cheese, beans, pork, fish and grilled. We started with the curtido, which is the traditional Salvadoran pickled cabbage slaw. Tangy, crunchy relish made from finely shredded cabbage, carrots, pickled in vinegar. Our party of two decided to share the mixto. This hit the right spot because it had everything from savory to sweet and more. Two pupusas, fried yuca, banana leaf tamale, sweet corn tamale, fried plantain, plantain empanada, savory empanada, sour cream and cheese. For those looking for a little spice in their lives, you can pick your poison. Watch for this salsas, you've been warned. Stop in and experience the taste of El Salvador!

The place is small but definitely cozy and inviting. The staff are kind and treat you like family. The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best I've had in a long time. The pupusa was perfectly balanced, it wasn't under or over stuffed. The tamal was perfectly sweet and was balanced out by the saltiness of the crema it was served with. The maracuya tastes just like back in Miami. Next time I'm in Colorado I'm making it my mission to stop by here again.

Later due to some schedule changes, we started visiting their food truck in Boulder from Lafayette because the pupusas are worth the trip. Imagine our joy that not only is there a Lafayette farmers market within walking distance but this beautiful family owned business is there! On Sunday, July 6th, 2025, I bought two packages of the frozen pupusas and while paying, the owner comes over and says "Please allow me to give you some curtido to go with the pupusas." I looked up at him in awe and gratitude as my heart lifted, and thanked him. He didn't have to do that but it was the second time in a very hard week that I was nearly in tears of wonder and relief because someone showed me a small but meaningful kindness. It was huge to me and for all the hate in the world, it's precisely why I am a loyal customer. Thank you, Pupusas Familia! May you only experience blessings. Be safe and well!

The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.

Mile High Papusas is part of a food court so it lacks in the ambiance aspect as it is a tiny room you enter into where you order off a tablet screen.

I will say the service was fine as I got my order within 15 minutes as it was pretty busy that day.

We had a commitment for the evening, so we went for "Linner," between lunch and dinner time. It was a quiet time, which worked out well for us, as we received plenty of attention from Guillermo, who I believe is the owner. We were there during a time when we could order off the brunch, lunch, or entree menu. Lots of choices! My husband ordered the flautas with beef (they have chicken listed on the menu, but since everything is from scratch, they were able to adjust). He declared them delicious. He said they were nice and crispy, and he loved the sauce! I knew before I arrived that I wanted Mole enchiladas. They have four different kinds of enchiladas with a choice of fillings: chicken, pork, beef, or cheese. I chose pork. These enchiladas were served with the mole on top, a very pretty presentation. He told us that the mole recipe came from his mother! And, they were delicious. Both meals came with a nice little dinner salad. And, because it was my birthday, Guillermo gave me dessert. I had flan, which is served on top of a sauce. I think he said it was passion fruit. Complex flavors from start to finish! The flan had a delicious coconut flavor. Both my husband and I savored it. There are so many items on their menu that I want to try, to see their own creative twist. They blend different Latin American flavors, so it's a Latin fusion menu. Can't wait to go back!
