Worth the trip if you are driving by, service is friendly and welcoming. They don't have a menu posted online so you'll have to go on your own culinary adventure in here; I wanted a modified version of one of their plates and they were happy to oblige. Quality is slightly below that of El Papaturro, but it is still very good Salvadoran food!

Very delicious and affordable!! We will be going back!! ...

Amazing food. Best and most affordable on our trip. Love love love.

Great food authentic Salvadorean food I love it I orden Plato loco is a plate comes one pupusa one tamal yuca frita fried plantain with sour cream . Was so delightful even my picking sons finish his pupusas kid meal

Amazing food! And friendly staff. This is a small restaurant with limited seating (due to covid) but still was able to have a table for dine in. I had the papusas and Salvadorian tamales and both were phenomenal! Fresh and packed with flavour.

Pupusas are sooo good! Everything is delicious and reasonably priced, and made completely fresh. The ladies are super nice too. Edit: I’ve tried pupusas at other locations, even other cities, and these are still the best pupusas and curtido I’ve ever had. Well worth traveling across the city for them!

Pupuseria Y Restaurant Salvadoreno serves up great tasting pupusas with a smile. While all of their selection is delicious and affordable, their agua de tamarindo, pupusa de salami, and tamal de elote (made with sweet corn) makes this place well worth the stop on your way to work, school, or wherever you have planned next in Albuquerque.

The pupusas were great. The nopalito one was my favorite. I also love when the staff talks to you in Spanish. I speak Spanish but I am a white guy so usually get English No worries if don't speak Spanish they speak English too.
