I had a pupusa Revuelta - shredded pork, beans, and cheese. It was delicious. The sauce was tasty but mild. All the other patrons were Hispanic, so I'd guess the food is authentic.

The food is delicious! We originally planned to take it to go, to eat in the car. But the way it's packaged is more to take home and not to eat in the car. So we decided to eat in the restaurant and so glad we did because I got to try the green habanero chili sauce they had on the tables and it was SPICY and I LOVED it!!! Lol Also love the Cole slaw they served! My fiancée and I ordered a total of 6 pupusas, and it filled us both! And it cost under $12. We wish we lived around here, because this is a place that offers great food at a great price!

Mom and pop restaurant, friendly service and tasty nachos. Everything came out quickly and enjoyed the low key vibe. Will definitely be back.

Time for a new taste experience! After eating many of the same foods during the pandemic, I wanted to try something different. I had seen signs and the delivery car from Pupusas Express many times and decided that lunch today would be a Pupusas. The restaurant was empty at around noon on a Friday; but they were preparing many take out orders, so I stayed. I ordered two of the shredded pork Pupusas. I stayed and ate at the restaurant which was extremely quiet and also extremely clean. The Pupusas was rather plain but good. I tried some of the sauce that was provided and it clearly added to the taste and kicked it up a few notches. The cabbage/slaw Aldo added to the flavor experience. It was a simple but good lunch.

Delicious pupusas, very filling! The El Salvadorian pupusas are very similar to Venezulan arepas and are like thick savory pancakes made of corn flour and stuffed with goodness! The Pupusa de Ayote stuffed with zucchini and cheese was bursting with flavor in every bite. Just a single pupusa was super filling and only $2.25, stellar deal! Glad that there are other Pupusas Express locations, excited to explore other culinary dishes on the menu!

Its been a while since I've been back here. Then, Yelp contacted me to congratulate they were using a photo I took of the food, way back in 2018! This reminded me how great their food is and after looking at my own photo started to get a real craving again! Yep, it had been too long. I was impressed at how easy and organized their new online ordering system is. The food is just as good as I remember, and the pupusas, just as filling as well. I ordered the 3 tacos al Carbon de Carne which came with cheese, rice, refried beans, guac, green salsa AND pico de gallo on flour tortilla for $12.50. Everything was really good. The steak did have a few chewy pieces but overall, still pretty great. I also got a pupusa revuelta which is pork/beans and cheese also with the sides of salsa and also, 1 sopes-which is a fried corn tortilla "dish" that holds everything- the chicken, cheese, beans, avocado, etc. I really like their rice here, its buttery and good, with little peas and green beans in it. So much food- easily one pupusa could be an entire meal in itself! They have free delivery too if you wish- (just remember to tip!) I chose to do curbside since I live closeby. The food was ready quickly and handed to me in my car, it took just about 20 minutes from the time I placed the order.

This is a no frills very good restaurant. The food was great. The prices are too. Place was clean and friendly. So good parking can be an issue. Just look at the food. It says it all. Great find.
