When I asked the lady at the shop if the pupusas were made with peppers hotter than jalapeño, she said they were made with Serrano peppers. Whew, I knew it! I wasn't ready. All of my pupusas were still delicious. My favorite were the beans and cheese. I really also liked the house made curtido slaw the dish came with. I can't wait to have these again someday!

Wow what a hidden gem! I was craving pupusas and I found this hole in the wall spot (it doesn't…read morehave an awning or anything just a window with a sign) that knocked it out of the park! The pupusas were so delicious, cheap and freshly made. I called ahead of time to order and they were ready, neatly packed and hot when I arrived. Each pupusa costs $3 so the whole order of 5 came out to $15 - such a steal! They even throw in some curtido salad and sauces at no additional charge. Their curtido is a little different from the traditional. They add beets to theirs which is unique. For pupusas my husband ordered 3 - 1 jalapeño and cheese and 2 bean. I had 2 of the loroco and cheese. The cheese they use is so delicious! The jalapeño cheese, according to my husband, knocked it out of the park. I loved the loroco and cheese too. I thought the dough was nice and soft with a neutral taste. I like my dough a little more sweet than they make it but it was still good for me. We didn't realize the bean pupusa doesn't have cheese (you can request bean and cheese though) so those were a little on the dryer side but still very flavorful, especially when dipped in the sauces. Definitely adding this place to our takeout rotation. Highly recommend! 5/5

Authentic Taste of El Salvador - A Hidden Gem…read more We were on the hunt for authentic pupusas and struck gold with this small, hole-in-the-wall spot that delivers big on flavor and tradition. With an extensive menu full of classic Salvadoran options, we ultimately chose the pupusas revueltas, filled with chicharrón (pork rinds), frijoles (beans), and cheese. They were freshly made, so we did wait about 35 minutes--but it was absolutely worth it for the taste and quality. The accompanying green and red sauces were excellent complements, though a word to the wise: the red sauce (which is more orange in color) packs serious heat. If you love spicy food, you're in for a treat--but it might deserve a little PSA for the uninitiated! They also offer a wide selection of aguas frescas. I tried the jamaica (hibiscus juice), and it was refreshing and flavorful. The prices are very affordable, the portions generous, and beyond pupusas, the restaurant offers a variety of Salvadoran snacks, candies, chips, and even ice cream--perfect for anyone wanting to relive the flavors of home. A special thanks to Brenda, who curated a playlist of classic cumbia music that gave the whole experience a warm and nostalgic vibe. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Salvadoran food.

They have a nice selection of pupusas, plus a full menu of entrees, an assortment of drinks, and a few dessert options. I ordered two pupusas revueltas, atol de elote, and tres leches cake. The pupusas were perfect, crisp with delicious filling. They're served with a fresh slaw and tasty sauce. The atol de elote was fantastic, served piping hot, it featured sweet corn flavor and a great mouthfeel. The tres leches cake was a wonderful version, the icing was great and the cake texture was perfect to absorb just the right amount of "leches". Prices were very reasonable. Looking forward to returning for more of the same dishes and to try the entrees!

It's a small no-frills restaurant with only a few tables, but it wasn't too busy on a weekday lunchtime and I got a seat. The woman serving me didn't appear fluent in English, but the menu has English and I was able to make my order just fine; she printed out a bill in English and showed it to me to confirm the items which was a nice gesture. I got two pupusas, one with loroco and one with chicharron, and both were served fresh and hot and literally bursting with cheese. They also came with a generous serving of a slaw/salad and a nice tomato-y sauce. The food was all spot on and incredibly filling, all for less than $9 including tip!

El Sazon not only offers an extensive menu of authentic Central American cuisine but also provides warm and attentive service. Throughout my dining experience, the waiters were friendly and always checked up on me, ensuring that everything was to my satisfaction. While the wait for the food was a bit long, it was manageable and well worth it once the delicious dishes arrived. I particularly enjoyed the Balada with everything inside--it was truly the best. El Sazon is a must-visit for those craving genuine Central American flavors served with a side of hospitality. read more

The food was surprisingly impressive. My partner loved the chicharrón de pollo with tostones and the chicken empanada taco. I opted for the baked chicken with rice and beans and the pernil empanada taco, both of which were delicious. The empanada tacos were easily the highlight of the meal. We paired everything with passion fruit margaritas that hit the spot. Despite the environment, the service was excellent, our server was attentive and very helpful. I'd come back for those empanada tacos alone if I am in the area.

We always order our usual: rotisserie chicken, chaufa, salchipapas and yucca frites. Their aji verde some of the best I've had, with a nice little kick. We always get an extra large sauce with our order. I wish the they gave more salchi with the papas - what we receive is nothing like the picture in their menu. The Sabroso Combo #2 is our go-to. It would be nice if they also provided their salsa criolla (red onion salsa) but they never have and I've gotten it standard at other Peruvian restaurants. Maybe we have to ask for it but we've never gotten it, even when I've ordered a tamal, and again, they show the salsa pictured with the tamal in their menu.
