Pupusas revueltas and plátanos
Juanna F.

My husband and I ordered at the front and sat down for a quick bite and ordered revueltas pupusas (pupusas filled with cheese, beans, and pork) with the pupusa fixings (red sauce and shredded pickled veggies) and the plátanos / plantains with crema fresa. Delicious and homey.

Finger licking pupusas, not greasy and made to order.

Tried this new local Salvadoran restaurant recently, and let me tell you... we loved it so much we went back again within the same week! The food is incredibly authentic and very reasonably priced. I can honestly say these are some of the BEST pupusas I've ever had--perfectly made, not greasy at all, and you can truly taste the pride and quality in every bite. We ordered the yuca frita with chicharrón and it was finger-licking good. We also tried pupusas de revueltas, bean & cheese pupusas, and the atole de maíz... and wow. That atole left us craving more--we literally went back two days later just for it! They're new in town, so I really hope the community comes out to support them. Parking is easy, the staff is extremely friendly, and they offer a great selection of traditional aguas frescas. Their menu is super authentic with everything from the mouth watering traditional dishes to comforting home-style Salvadoran cooking. Me and my family will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Delicious, fresh, authentic. My husband was in the mood for pupusas. I was on my way home from…read morework so looked up something on my way. It's a little hole in the wall place with only street parking. On Tennessee in the not so nice area. I was able to park right in front of the place, so didn't have to walk around too much. Walked in as someone else was walking out. It smells heavenly! No frills, old faded menus on the wall, 2 ladies behind the counter cooking. Not much room to wait. Pupusas are $4 each but they told me they were running a special 3 for $10 so I got 6 for $20. Carne asada with cheese. Yum! Was told 30 minutes and it started to get smoky in there, lol so then waited in my car. Please note, It is cash only, take out only. Before I went back in, the lady who took my order came out to me, (it was more like 10 min) with them all packed in a foil pan. And the pickled cabbage mix and sauce packed separately. It stayed hot and fresh. They are thick and full of meat and cheese. And so delicious! It was wayyyyy too much food. I could have ordered 3 for us. One pupusa filled me up ! We had leftovers that our sons came over and enjoyed. If you live any where near, and love pupusas and authentic Salvadoran food- GO!

We got three cheese and bean pupusas today with extra curtido for 2.50…read more These are the best pupusas in the East Bay. Large, stuffed generously and just delicious. We loved their red spicy sauce and super crunchy fresh curtido. They are packed into small zip lock bags. I forgot to take photos since I was hungry. This little shop is in the middle of nowhere next to a small auto parts shop and parking is limited. The immediate area is ugly and industrial but the pupusas keep us coming back. Best taken to go. It's not a comfortable spot to eat in. We paid 4 dollars per pupusa to go. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The freshest most authentic Salvadoran food I've ever had. Recently, I came and ate here twice in…read moreone day it was so good. My go to is the 3/$12 Revuelta pupusas and the Plantains with the beans . Top tier beans and plantains. I am so glad I found this place. It is very close to my work. I do recommend calling in your order at least 30 minutes before so that it'll be ready for you to pick up. sometimes they do not answer their phone but they will give you a call back. Keep in mind they do not accept tap pay, but they do accept Zelle and Venmo if you need to make a mobile payment. It is small and cozy inside but there are at least 4 tables if you want to dine in. They do have a few tvs if you were there to relax while waiting or out with your family. Being new to the area, this place will definitely be my go to for pupusas.

Wow, what a great stop in Vacaville going down the road!…read more Our first choice at our destination wouldn't be open yet so ChatGPT found this for us - because it knows us, and especially me. I use it all the time to develop recipes and cook. Everything about this experience was fantastic. My mom, my sister, and I shared three orders. I HAD to have an authentic $14.50 Cubano Sandwich. And it was spot on! Everything was exactly right, including the bread. The $7.20 "baked" Chicken Empanada made from their handmade pastry was also perfect. The pastry was cooked exactly right. We also all really liked the "freshly made" $14.50 Arepa Pabellon, Platanito Maduro, and Batata Dulce. We were there between lunch and dinner so things were pretty quiet and we were served quickly.

La Gua Gua Restaurant offers a great variety of dishes from different Latin American countries,…read moreincluding Guatemala, Peru, Colombia, and Cuba. I really appreciate having so many options to choose from, making it a nice place to visit with family. We've visited several times, usually on Sundays, and my family really enjoys the food. One thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant only offers outdoor seating. Unfortunately, this means you're exposed to flies, and during our most recent visit, there were quite a lot of them, which made the dining experience a little uncomfortable. The food also tends to take a while to come out, especially on Sundays when the restaurant gets pretty busy. From what we've noticed, it seems like they have a small kitchen staff, which may explain the longer wait times. Overall, it's a good spot to enjoy a variety of Latin American flavors with family. My recommendation would be to improve fly control around the dining area and find ways to speed up service during busy hours. Despite these issues, my family enjoys the food, and we appreciate the variety they offer!
