The curtido and salsa that came with them were the perfect balance and really brought out the flavor. I also ordered the pan con pollo, and it was incredible. The chicken was tender and well seasoned, the bread was fresh, and it was topped with a delicious mix of vegetables and sauce that made every bite flavorful. You can really tell the food is made with care and traditional recipes. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!

I usually come when they are on sale but went in on a day they aren't thinking no big deal, $4.5 per pupusa is crazy and they are the same size as they are while $2.3... they also charge 4% fee to use a CC which I found pretty excessive. In conclusion, the food is good and it will be worth it if you come on a Monday or Wednesday and bring CASH.

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.

But what keeps me coming back here are their pupusas. Their pupusas revueltas and queso y loroco are chefs kiss. The workers are very friendly and accommodating.

This time, I ordered two pupusas and then their pastelitos. Pasteles de res. First things first- the restaurant is easy to find and parking isn't too bad! There are some spots in the back, but I've found street parking easily both times I've gone. Inside, the restaurant is decorated with all sorts of nods to El Salvador, including a super iconic soccer jersey and even some Salvi beers. The workers were all friendly and accommodating. The food is GREAT!! The pupusas are good. Cortido is awesome. I really liked the pasteles, even though I've only had handmade before, so I was skeptical, but they were so good, I devoured way more than I meant to!! I really did mean to have leftovers from my order, but I only have one remaining pastele- they come with three to an order. I will continue ordering from here and hopefully I'll have a chance to eat at the restaurant next time! So good!

The cheese on the pupusas was a bit salty for me but everything else was amazing. Go with ALOT of patience as they do take a bit to bring out the food. Service was a bit slow, I think they should hire another server. The place is cute! It was good for our big group. We were still able to talk and laugh. There's some parking in the back but it's scarce. Street parking is tough. That would be my only negative point about this place! Perk, they sell beer and alcohol!

I haven't dined in but the takeout process was quick and easy. I always get the pork, bean & cheese for myself and chicken & cheese.

We got the mini-pupusas platter and the ratio of ingredients were perfect. Curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and Salsa was on point. Beyond pupusas we love their creamy chicken entree (Pollo A La Crema) and breakfast Salvadoran style. Inside the restaurant is cozy and lightly dim. I noticed solo diners, couples on dates, and multiple families dining in having a good time. Welcoming environment. I love this restaurant. El Salvadoran cuisine is so underrated and not talked about enough. Amazing food and service!

It's warm, inviting and very quaint. I consider this to be a little taste of home away from home. I absolutely loved the pupusas from this spot! They're freshly made and prepared to order so it may be a little bit of a wait. This is pretty standard for all pupuserias though. If you're not into waiting, call ahead. No need to be rude about it, it's apart of the craft! The food is perfectly delicious and the fillings are very fair in portioning. It's affordable and made for everyone to enjoy.

There's simply nothing remarkable about this place to warrant the prices and it's a real bummer. We got the aguachile ceviche and the crab ceviche and both had a funkiness to them that left us barely eating it. The chips are even boring and barely salted. Then our giant steak (we got talked into getting from the waiter about how amazing it was) was probably the worst cut of meat I have had at a restaurant! I have had better cuts of meat from Target! We had to ask for salt and sauce just to chew it and eat it because it was so chewy, gristly & bland! So disappointing! The guacamole was pretty good, nothing really to write home about, and the cocktails were fine. I've been here three times and that's plenty of tries to get an accurate sense of the place. Not coming back.
