El Pulgarcito Pupuseria

El Pulgarcito is definitely worth a visit once you actually find it! My Apple Maps couldn’t even locate the place, so I had to switch over to Google Maps. Even then, I circled around for a good 10 minutes because it’s hidden in the back in a little plaza. So just a heads up: don’t give up, it’s there! I even bought some snacks while I was there, but of course the main event was the pupusas. I ordered the jalapeno & cheese and the regular cheese pupusa. Portions are no joke these things are filling! I was only able to finish one and took the other to go. Everything was hot, cheesy, and super comforting. The curtido and salsa on the side tied it all together perfectly. Prices are very reasonable too, especially considering how generous the portions are. The atmosphere is unpretentious with

Stumbled upon this place in Orange, CA by accident, so glad I did. Freshly prepared pupusas filled with your choice of sausage, pork, beans, cheese, absolutely delicious! Will definitely go back! 🤤

Pupusas were delicious and fat. Great drinks also. The Agua de Tamarindo was bomb. Price was decent for the size of the pupusas....I highly recommend

Whether dine-in or take out, El Pulgarcito always delivers! Aside from Balompie in San Francisco, if you find yourself in this area and craving true authentic El Salvadorean food, there’s no need to look elsewhere. I made that one mistake in Antioch, Ca (1-Star review on Yelp & Google) so trust me- this trip made up for it 110%! As for food experience, we usually order chicharron con queso or just plain loroco but this time, we opted for a couple of new items on the menu: Rigua con crema and a breakfast plate. A large Horchata order can be shared for two. Friendly and attentive staff even though at the time of visit there were a couple of large parties (6+) she made sure we were good! The overall set-up of the restaurant is almost like cafeteria style :)

Love me some pupusass! This spot slaps. Ordered they're chicharon, ruelta, pollo, and vegan spinach pupusas and all we're exceptional. Alongside we ordered they're pollo tamales and horchata which were all bomb. One caveat is they're cortido could've been more sour for my liking. They're cortido is more on the salty side. The spot feels very homey and cultural. Loved it.
