EXCELLENT PUPUSAS!! I've been looking for a pupusa spot that…read moreis in town and is actually delicious. These pupusas are so good and the owner is really nice. I recommend that you call ahead of time and preorder for larger amounts. You can call and preorder with the number on their business card so that way you don't wait too long. Hands down the best pupusa spot in town!! **WARNING** It is hot and humid inside the restaurant so I recommend taking them to-go unless you can handle the heat. The pupusas are definitely worth the wait and sweat!!

Pupusas were fantastic and came out piping hot! They are all made to order so be patient. It took about 15-20 minutes to come out. Yes, it takes a while, but totally worth the wait. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Came back in on Monday as they said they could remake the same order as I was disappointed about the hair and feel so disgusted I hope for some alternative food and they wouldn't accommodate or refund my money. The store looks clean but after this experience I don't know if it's clean in the kitchen at all.

Ordered for pick up, 1 bean and cheese and 1 cheese and spinach pupusa. When I got there, I was…read morereally impressed how esthetic they decorated this place. Did a pick up like 8 years ago, not sure if it's the same owner, place looks cute now! The shopping center isn't the nicest, a bit desolate I would say and inside completely different story, clean and welcoming, TV screens for their menu constantly showing different dishes. They even have alcoholic beverages. I definitely want to come back and eat in. Pupusas were piping hot, good size for $4 each and were good. I've been alil under so I'm not sure if my palette was off, the cheese was cheesing but I just didn't get that super tasty cheese pupusa, it was certainly filling though. And when I checked out I added a piece quesadilla and a kolachampan, iykyk. Will be back for a Salvi breakfast for sure!

Absolutely worth coming back again and again…read more We're visiting Pasadena and ended up at Mely's THREE times during our trip -- that should say everything. The pupusas are hands down some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. Legit comfort food. The vibe is classic and welcoming, service is quick and friendly, and everything we ordered hit the spot. But those pupusas? Unforgettable. If you're in Pasadena and don't stop here, you're missing out. Already planning to come back next time we're in town.

Ordered the desayunos (breakfast plates), they were super delicious! Tortillas are excellent! The horchata was okay, a little too sweet for my taste. I personally like the taste of all the spices in the Salvadorian Horchata, the sugar was over powering. We also ordered some pupusas revueltas to go. Those were okay, not bad, but not the best. The curtido was more like a coleslaw. It needed more time to pickle and much more spices. I didn't taste the oregano at all or pepper. The red sauce that typically comes with the pupusas tastes like canned tomato sauce. Very vinegar-y.

La peor experiencia hoy en este lugar. No puedo opinar sobre la comida, pero el servicio me dejó…read moremuy insatisfecha, por decir lo menos. He ido a este lugar muchas veces y en varias ocasiones he tenido malas experiencias, pero hoy se superaron a sí mismos. ¡Incluso mi iglesia celebró allí la fiesta de Navidad de los líderes durante dos años seguidos! ¡Nunca más! Llamé a las 11 de la mañana para pedir yuca sancochada con salsa y curtido para recoger a las 11:30. Pregunté el precio y aclaré que solo quería salsa y curtido, sin chicharrón. Llegué al restaurante a las 11:45 y todavía me hicieron esperar 30 minutos. ¡Ni una disculpa por las molestias! La mesera dijo que el pedido no estaba listo y mintió diciendo que ella no había tomado mi pedido, que la chica que lo tomó ya se había ido. ¡Qué descarada! Si vas a mentir, hazlo bien y deja de llamar a la gente "linda", "mi amor", "corazón". Era la misma chica mintiéndome descaradamente. Finalmente me entregó la comida y era solo yuca sancochada. Quería cobrarme un dólar extra por el curtido y la salsa diciendo que la yuca se sirve asi. ¿Cuántos salvadoreños conoces que coman yuca sola? Le dije que habían perdido una clienta, a lo que respondió: "Haz lo que quieras, no voy a discutir contigo". ¡Qué asco! ¡Me da mucha rabia la falta de profesionalismo de esa mujer! ¡Nunca más mientras ella esté allí! The worst experience today at this place. I cant talk about their food, but their service leaves me dissatisfied to say the least. I have been to this place many times and many times I have had a bad experience but they outdid themselves today. My church even celebrated our leadership christmas party there two years in a row $$$!. No more! I called to place my order for yuca sancochada con salsa y curtido at 11am for pick up at 11:30am . I asked for the price and clarified i only wanted salsa y curtido, no chicharron. I got to the restaurant to pick up my order at 11:45am and they still had me wait 30 min. No apology or anything for the inconvenience! The server said the order wasn't in and lied saying she didnt take my order, the girl who took the order left already. Girl! You want to play that game, play it right and stop calling people linda, mi amor, corazón no! It was the same girl lying straight to my face. She finally gives me my food and it is plain yuca sancochada. She wanted to charge me an extra dollar for curtido y salsa. How many salvadoreans do you know eat plain yuca?? I let her know they had lost a customer to which she answer do as you wish, Im not going to argue with you. Ugh! Im discussed by that women's lack of professionalism! Never again while she's there!
