★★★★★ 5.0 Trey Delaplaine · Nov 2024

I love Maria's restaurant, they have the best pupusas in San Mateo. The staff are always friendly too! I recommend trying rice flower pupusas if you've never had them before. If you eat em while they're hot, they're as good as regular pupusas and it's a nice change of pace. Also, their horchata de moro is great, but their horchata al coco was surprisingly even better!

Food is very delicious, Friendly Stuff, Great Service, Clean, Many options. Authentic Salvadorian food. ( If You are on vacation and drive near San Mateo definitely You need to stop at Maria’s and get a nice Breakfast or Pupusas.

Food is good too bad they don’t open on time. They have to fix their open time in google maps. We waited over 30 mins because we really wanted to eat there. At the end it was a waste of time. Even though we knocked the door they couldnt come out and clarify their open time. And they never answered the phone either. Really unprofessional.

The PUPUSAS were Delicious... but the restaurant did NOT meet the Request for 6 Well toasted(VIEN DORADAS) Pupusas. We provided the restaurant with a advanced order of 30 minutes. We had to wait another 20 minutes upon arrival. The Food Order was 6 PUPUSAS well toasted. I will make the same orde at AMERICAN HOUSE to see if they can Satisfy a Customer .

Solid pupusas with a large variety of flavors. I took some home and topped them with kimchi and it took them to another level.
