Best Pupusas in Sonoma County, hands down. Flavor is always on point. If you have never been and you are a fan of pupusas, I recommend you check this place out. Another thing worth mentioning is that their sweet corn tamales are also a must try if you swing by. The only reason I did not give them a five-star review is because I also tried their enchiladas, and they were ok at best, but I definitely won't be ordering them again

The Pupusas were fire! I would've liked a little more crunch on the outside but nonetheless my only critique. My girl had the fish filet with rice & beans which she said was really good. Definitely would recommend especially the chicharrón con queso fire af. The pastelles con pollo y papa was the game changer. Get loaded and come here you won't be disappointed also don't expect that fancy shit its authentic you finna be waiting a min but its worth it

Their chicharrones and queso pupusas doesn't get any more authentic than this. Very good and fresh! The curtido was a wonderful complement as well. I also ordered sopa de pata which was flavorful and not too spicey. My family and I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was rather busy. Although we were seated, the wait time to be served was a bit long. However, the food is definitely worth the wait!

Como salvadoreña, soy algo particular cuando se trata de comer comida salvadoreña afuera. Pero para mi sorpresa, el restaurante Pupuseria salvadoreña tiene buena comida auténtica. Lo más cercano a comer comida hecha en casa. Yo probé las pupusas: una de queso, calabaza y espinaca y la otra de frijol, queso y loroco. Si pudieran hacer las pupusas más pequeñas y menos gruesas sería mejor. Pero por lo menos no estaban grasosas y de sabor estaban buenas. El curtido y la salsa también sabían bien. Mi pareja ordenó los pastelitos de pollo y sabían buenos. la horchata estaba rica. es cierto que si se demora un poquito la comida en llegar a la mesa, pero es porque has hecho en casa. Hay muchas mesas y el restaurante es limpio. Si usted anda por Santa Rosa, le recomiendo que pruebe este restaurante.

So I've been meaning to try this place forever. But somehow have not gotten around to it until recently. First it's in a tiny little strip mall type place across from the Fairgrounds. It doesn't look too promising from the outside. But when you walk in it's clean and cute and the staff are so friendly. I read some previous reviews and came to understand it's not "fast" so I came with the expectation that the food takes a little bit . Which it did. But when our food came out both times I've been there now it's so so so good. I've had the pork, bean and cheese pupusa and the vegetarian pupusa and the chicken tamale, and of course the cabbage slaw that come with the meal. Where do I begin, the pupusa is hot and fresh and so tasty and not greasy or too filling yet it is so filling . The tamale is in a banana leaf and so soft and moist it's flavorful and decadent yet delicate all at once, so unlike dry tamales I've had other places. There is a sweet and slightly spicy coleslaw that comes with your dishes as well as red and green salsa, both delicious but I prefer the green. The staff are so kind and friendly I have no idea why others have written otherwise. I love this place.

The food here is amazing. I love the pupusa and the enchiladas are different than the Mexican type. They are absolutely delicious. I think this is one of the best places I've had Pupusas in. The average type of diner, but it's comfortable nothing special but good. The staff is very friendly and helpful

One of the best pupuserias I have been to in California, the staff was amazing, excited that my wife and I came in to try their food. The restaurant was bustling with happy customers and the speakers were playing lively music. It does take about 15-25 minutes for your food to be made but that is because the pupusas are made fresh to order. The Chicarron and queso pupusa was filled completely and delicious with the cabbage and salsa. Surprisingly my favorite pupusa had spinach and pumpkin in it, highly recommend if you enjoy exploring new flavors. The Chile Relleno was savory with ground pork and vegetables inside and topped with a red sauce and served with tortillas. The Salvadorean horchata was refreshing, made with cashews, arrayan fruit and tamarind.
