★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Tran Burton · Dec 2025

Visited twice in one trip. Hands down the best pupusas I've ever had. The texture of the flour was done right with just enough crunch. The fillings were generous. We ordered the combo plate which included 2 pupusas and the second order was beef ribs. Both were delicious in their own way. Great for celiacs. Everything is made from rice or corn flour. I'll definitely be back next time I'm up here.

An exceptional pupusa. I’ve tried many others and nothing comes close to Panchitas. Don’t take to go! The edges are ever so slightly crisp with delicious cheese and the cortido and salsa make a perfect pairing. If you take it to go, the cheese has time to cool down and the steam worsens the texture. Still tasty but not as perfect. Highly recommend for anyone living or visiting San Francisco. Can get busy late at night on a weekend but for good reason.

The food was fantastic! I really loved the vibe of the interior, too. Plus, you can sometimes catch a live mariachi band playing!

You HAVE to try the pupuserías they’re unbelievable!! We got beef, garlic and mushroom and jalapeño and spicy sausage! We will definitely be back! Service was also brilliant!

Delicious. I am a long time customer and I went vegan a few years ago and they started offering vegan options which is fantastic. No impact on the quality for our meat eating friends 🤗. I really enjoyed the soyrizo it was a little spicy which I loved but also the other two vegan options were delicious. Staff were kind and helpful and plenty of cabbage and salsa. Open late with options for everyone. Please don’t gentrify panchitas. ❤️
