El Pulgarcito

The pupusas were amazing! Just wish they could have chicken or beef in them. This place cooks really good food. We had a meal for 2 on $ 20 and we were quite stuffed.

I love this place! They make delicious pupusas for such a cheap price! You can go to this restaurant with less than 10 bucks, and be stuffed by the time you leave. The owner is also very gracious.

I tried the Horchata (rice based drink), the cheese, cheese & loroco, bean & cheese pupusa. I also tried the Veggie enchiladas. Everything I tried was horrible, if you really want pupusa– try the bean & cheese (this was the best out of everything I had). Bad service, they didn’t even bring us our water until the end of the meal. If you really want authentic El Salvadorian food, go to the southern part of the States.

I’m salvadorean and I truly enjoyed their food, I was hesitant thinking it wouldn’t be legit. But the pupusas are actually pretty good! Thick, filled, and kind of crunchy. I have always liked my pupusas alittle oily. The yuca Frita is good, thick cuts, chicharon is good portion and mix of meat/​fat. The tamales are nothing special, if anything lacking. The platano Frito with cream is good, can’t really screw up frying plantain. Although you may wait awhile to be served,. Overall I think it’s a great salvadorean restaurant serving authentic dishes.

We visited for dinner last week. This is not really my thing. The horchata was a little too sweet. The pupusas was decent but really oily and the beans, cheese and ground meat was all in seperate sections of the pupusas. The yucca fries had potential but in this instance was rather bland but layered with veggies. Sorry El Pulgarcito, I really tried!

Great Papussas!!!
The food is very good and cheap!
only thing they could work on is the customer service, usually have to wait for 5 – 10 mins just to put in an order.
But it is soo good it’s worth the wait.

After walking for @5.3 hours at the zoo, I found this place on Unilocal as I wanted a nice place to try some authentic foods. Firstly they do not take credit cards… secondly, we walked in and it was simply a hole in the wall. We were greeted with a friendly smile and a menu. I was intrigued by the pupusas as I have never had them before. They were absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and delicious. What a very pleasant surprise. For some unknown reason, they didn’t accept our (US) debit card, but we had enough cash. While we were locating more cash, even a customer offered to chip in and the owner kept shaking his head that we had paid enough. It was quite sweet, but we found what we needed as we intended on paying for the amazing meal we had! And, now that I’m back home in Cincinnati, I had to find pupusas here. Great find!

The Papussas are amazing!!! Great service! Can’t wait to come back and try more of what they offer! :)

Excellent food, great service. Latin-​American food made from the scratch. I highly recommend it

Ordered the quesadillas filled with chicken, two cheeses and vegetables. Served hot and accompanied with dipping sauce and sour cream. The portions were of good size. The food was tasty, fresh and VERY AUTHENTIC. it was like being in Sam Salvador! Try this place. You’ll love it!

I’ve literally eaten everything on the menu. I love this place since they were on Kennedy. Papusa’s are always ordered along with the chicken taquitos.

The food here has always been amazing but I think it’s gotten even better at the new location. The papusas are killer, burritos are to die for with that queso fresco on top and tomato salsa. One of our favourite places, period.

My wife and I ordered a pupasa, quesadilla and burrito here. The pupasa was a nice snack. The cheese in the quesadilla was great but it definitely could have included more chicken. The burrito was enormous and the steak inside was very good. It was a pleasant experience overall and was fun to experience new cuisine.
