Homemade pupusas direct from the Comal (griddle) to the dining table. We recently moved from the Washington DC area to Montgomery, Texas. Today, we had a taste for pupusas so I looked online for best pupusas in the area and found Tierra Cuscatleta in Conroe. It is a family run restaurant and I felt like I was dining in a relative's house. We sat down, and the server promptly took our order. We ordered pupusas, Salvadoran style chicken tamales, and yuca con chicharon. We did not have to wait long before the cook brought the chicken tamales and the yuca con chicharon fresh from the kitchen. Minutes later she brought the pupusas to our table. The food was freshly made, very tasty and very economical. We ordered some additional pupusas to take with us. Tierra Cuscatleca is now our go to place anytime we have a taste for pupusas. read more

Me and my sister were in the mood for some pupusas I looked this place up and saw they had 4.5 stars so we went to try it and the place was so good, pupusas were very cheesy and freshly made, the server was super kind to us and they had our food out very quick, definitely go here if you want some nicely made pupusas!! read more

Why 4 stars? Because the pupusas were exactly what I was hoping for. --- --- --- I had only tried pupusas once, and barely even remembered the experience. But once I discovered this restaurant on Yelp, I knew I wanted to try it. It was hard to find the time because the hours listed on Yelp said it was only open on weekends, but it turns out, they recently changed their hours and are now open Wednesday-Sunday. Out of everything I ate, the pupusas were, by far, the best. All of them were great: the steak, chicken and pork. We also ordered the carne asada, which is listed as #6 on the menu. It was basically a skirt steak with rice, beans and a salad. The steak was okay -- a little tough and too done, but overall it hit the spot. The salad had no dressing to my knowledge, which was weird. The rice and beans were fine. Lastly, we finished with some banana bread, which was nice, but definitely not very sweet. I should probably eat more desserts like this that are less sugary, but I'm kind of addict at this point, so I do wish this had a little more of a sweet bite to it. Overall, this was a cool experience and I see why the ratings are so strong. read more

We popped in at this small restaurant off of 105 when we were checking out new locations to eat. I've lived in the area for 20 years but just ran across this inconspicuous building. I was excited to see that they offered El Salvadorian foods because I have been searching for a specific tamale which I used to purchase from a lady nearby that were homemade. I tried there tamales however it was not a match for the elusive one which I used to purchase. However, I tried something new called a Pupusa and fell in love! They offer them in pork, chicken, zucchini, beef, and other varieties but it doesn't matter which one you choose, it will be the most awesome thing you have ever put in your mouth! My friend who was eating with me is from Mexico City and she said that the reason it was so delicioso was because it uses a cheese that is specific to salvadorians which is made from cow CREAM, as a starter rather than MILK. While I am still on the hunt for the recipe of the elusive Christina tamale which was made with white Mesa, rectangular, and wrapped in a banana leaf, and I did not find it at this adorable cucina, I will definitely be back to try other El Salvadoran treats. They also have a bakery at another location. I have attached photos of the menu which included the prices for the restaurant and bakery, as well as photographs of the food which we sampled. read more

I was surprised that the parking lot was empty considering this place has good pupusas‍and empanadas con crèma. The pupusas had a great masa to meat ratio which was a great balance to a perfect bite. The tamale was soft and very tasty. I'd definitely recommend this place as I can definitely see myself as a regular customer! read more

The waitress took our order in a very unfriendly manner. The food is not even good enough to come back. If you want have a horrible and awkward experience please go here. read more

Warm, fluffy, DELICIOUS pupusas...FINALLY! Luck was on my side and I'm so happy we found this wonderful little Pupuseria. The owner was super sweet and the service was very friendly. These pupusas were all delicious! I ordered a variety to go: Revuelta, Chicken, Squash, Bean, Loroco and my family gobbled them up! $1.95 each. The Curtido had a hint of spice and the tangy dressing was the cherry on top. Perfect picnic or boat food, or sit in front of the TV food! I promise you they're the absolute best pupusas. I will be back! read more

Pupusas were great and excellent customer service. Great prices too! You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely loved this spot! My boyfriend is Salvadoran and he just recently moved to Conroe with me so we were on the hunt for a good place for pupusas in the area and this place did not disappoint us at all, in fact we were shocked at how good it was. I am currently talking myself out of going there for lunch to get the pollo con tajadas. Everything we tried was amazing. I will be going back, quite possibly in a few minutes. read more

Good food but these ladies are lazy! They don't open at the time they say they should. Tried to order breakfast no answer. Drove to the restaurant and they are closed. Google and Yelp both say they should be opened. read more

I have been trying to go to this restaurant but live too far away. I was in the area yesterday, but it was closed. Very disappointing. There was a sign on the door that said it was only open on the weekends. One day I will make it up there and try the wonderful pupusas I have heard about! read more

Delicious authentic Salvadoran food! These pupusas are the best & definitely closest to authentic when it comes to flavor. Friendly service, clean environment. Worth Checking out!!! Best Central American food in Conroe. Everything is made FRESH!! The curtido had a nice kick to it. Love love love it! Will be coming back for sure read more

The food here was excellent and the ambiance was very pleasant. Nice music playing as well. We enjoyed our experience! The only drawback is that prices are NOT published on the menu, you have to ask before ordering, which kind of make you feel cheap for asking. In any case, although the meal was good, it was a little high price wise for what we got. It would help immensely to have the prices on the menu, I believe that's only fair for the customer. read more
