So amazing. I love that they offer hot salsa. I had the cheese jalapeño pupusa and it was so good. I’ve tried other pupusas around town, and these are easily the best — big, full of filling, and packed with flavor. Highly recommend. They’re a little hard to find, but absolutely worth the search.

I wasn’t expecting a pupuseria out here. Had to come thru and wait a bit for them to open up at the local cider bar. It was worth the wait. The yucca frita and the pupusas were amazing. They were great portions. And they had spicy salsa! And the curtido! It’s hard to come by a pupuseria that hits. Amazing 🥰🥰🥰 Eating my comfort food after a few hikes and stressful drives, my soul came back happy. Hope to try out more of their menu when I come back out here. Amazing!

Pupuseeia San Miguel catered for a work lunch and did a fantastic job! The event served about 35 people and they prepared 7 variations of pupusas to accommodate all of our dietary restrictions. Yes, we were a complicated order 😅, but everything was there and delicious! We also got sweet plantains and it was so yummy. I’m Central American and I wanted to share Central American food with my coworkers on earth day. It was a lot of people’s first time eating pupusas and they really enjoyed it and event felt nostalgic, comparing it to foods from their cultures. They provided chafing dishes, three salsas with different hear levels, curtido (the pickled cabbage), and sure cream. Overall, the food was delicious, the attention to detail was there, and the owner Gino was a pleasure to coordinate wi

Popusas were huge compared to what we are used to, geat taste and value nonetheless. Will definitely come back to try out their Putacos. Their empanadas were as authentic as can be🤌.

Pupuseria San Miguel showed up at Northern Nights Music Festival and i was immediately hooked. Gino was kind and generous, a pleasure to meet and talk with. The entire staff was friendly. The portions were generous, by far the best value available at the festival. They could have inflated the prices but they held it down in the best ways.
