“ Delicious. Service is very slow and I'm thinking because they are made to order and don't have a lot of staff. Expect to spend time here. We had the pupusas (pastor, shrimp, and the beef) ”
“ Such delicious food, and the staff is very friendly. Every time we come back the food is still as delicious as the last time. They have the best puposas I've ever had. ”
“ Came here before my flight and Im so glad I did. Coming from LA we know a thing about fresh mariscos & i have to honestly say this place has some of the best tasting ceviches in Phx & i have tried many. I will definitely keep this placed saved on my yelp because i will be coming back. Their pupusas were excellent also. ”
“ These are the best pupusas in the valley, hands down. The Jalapeño and Cheese Pupusa is to die for I got the bean and cheese for our son and the beans were perfectly refried and seasoned well. If you are looking for a good Frijol Y Queso Pupusa or Jalapeño and Cheese Pupusa, look no further. I cant wait to taste other fillings. Their Horchata is also delicious and has just the right amount of cinnamon. ”
“ Some of the best Mariscos I've had outside of Mexico or Southern California. Quick and easy to order from their website and pick up. Will definitely be back. ”
“ While it may not be much to look at from the outside, this place was great. Staff were super friendly and you can see in the back, the ladies smiling at me as they prepared the food from scratch. I ordered the grilled chicken papusa and it did not disappoint. This was only my second time indulging in Salvadoran food and the first time was several years ago. My food was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try something different. ”
“ After 2 trips to El Salvador, and another on the horizon, it's safe to label me as a pupusa connouiosr. I know what separates a good Vs great pupusa. I like them like them crispy, silver dollar like, with a little burnt cheese sticking out from one side due to somehow escaping a stacked stuffed middle, resulting in perfectly caramelized cheese from the grill. Is that too hard to find in PHX? It actually is, but luckily El Pacifico is around. I felt like I was back in Olicuilto when I walked in. 5 stars for the interior. I ordered 2 pupusas with Lorocco and cheese. The only thing that would have made it better would be a little garlic. Will absolutely be back soon for the best pupusas around. ”
“ So so so so good!!! Had a ceviche tostada and a pupusa revuelta. Service was great and staff was friendly. The place is very clean and nice too. Looking forward to return. ”
“ This is my first time in Phoenix and I was craving mariscos. This place will be a staple for anytime I come back to Phoenix! So delicious! The service was great! Staff was very welcoming and kind. The music playing makes this place feel like I've transported a tropical Mexican beach. What great food for the Arizona heat! We have ceviche, pupusas and plátano frito, all delicious! ”
“ New place in the area, been here for less than half a year. My bf and I were searching for lunch around the area after a tiring morning of doing yard work and decided to finally try this place. Service: Very friendly people who work in here. Immediately told us how ordering works (you order by the cashier and pay, grab a seat and they give you the food). Also came by to ask how the food was. Wait time: We waited quite a bit considering the place wasn't really full. If you're in a rush, definitely try this place out at another time. If not, you can leisurely chat with your company here. Food: The tacos were so-so. A bit bland, nothing spectacular. There's definitely better places in the area for tacos. The pupusas, on the other hand, were very good (esp. the chicharones y queso). As for the asado pupusa, just add a bit more salt then it'll be perfect. They had cole slaw with it as well, which was *chef's kiss* Overall Review: Will definitely be back to try the other pupusas as they have a variety. I think it's definitely the specialty here as it is included in their restaurant name lol. ”
