Pupuseria El Salvador ( el rinconcito catracho)

LOVE this place. We got sopa and an assortment of papusas and everything was so so good. The staff are kind and sweet.

Delicious pupusas made fresh from scratch! The kitchen is open to the dining area, so you can see the sweethearts making everything on-the-spot. It’s a warm & welcoming atmosphere, there’s a big TV playing music videos, as well as a Jukebox for additional entertainment. It’s a little “hole-in-the-wall” but there’s plenty of available seating. The cortido was good, the salsa was good, their Jalapeño pupusas, chicken pupusas, and chicharrones pupusas are all great, and what’s more- I feel great after dinner. That’s how I know it’s a couple angels in the kitchen, I can stuff my face with ooey gooey warm cheesy happiness and not feel a drop of guilt afterwards. 10/10 highly recommend

I have never had problems placing order with these people before but today (mar. 11, 2023) I m giving them a 1 star for hanging up on me 4 times because the lady didn't know how to speak English. (This is previous rating) Sweet people working here & the chicken cheese pupusas are very tasty. I m glad I was craving pupusas. I have a favorite pupusa place in San Mateo now. I have tried many but this is my favorite.

I can see that most of the comments are from people who don't know the authentic taste of a 100% Salvadoran pupusa. I've also read that the owners don't like bad reviews. In my opinion, they need to accept them in order to improve everything involved and grow as a business. I've never had such bad pupusas. In fact, we couldn't eat them all; we had to throw them away. I apologize for my sincere comment.

The food was delicious!! There isn't much seating since it is relatively small, so it's probably better to order things to go. There was definitely a language barrier even when pointing things out on their own menu, but they were very nice and helpful. Some of the other customers stepped in to help with translating between English and Spanish. Again, the food is just fantastic, so definitely give it a try!
