Very small dining room and pupusas are the best! Handmade and homemade to order. Cabbage and sauce are perfect

It’s a small family restaurant, a neighborhood restaurant, but the food is really authentic Salvadorian food and the service super friendly. It can get really busy, so go there with time or ready to order to go if there are no tables. The setting is pretty simple with seating for maybe 20 people. My favorite dishes were the pupusas, the fried plantain and the Caldo de gallina. Servings are huge, so order moderately to share.

It’s easy to miss this place. If your not paying attention . It’s next to an auto body shop . It’s a small restaurant. Not many tables inside. It gets super busy during lunch time. I made it in before the lunch crowd. There aren’t too many Salvadorian restaurants around. Which is really unfortunate. El Paraiso is one of my favorite places for pupusas. I usually order cheese and beans with a Jamaica agua fresca. Overall, the food is really good .

They take too too long. Even to get you a drink . I ordered one popusa and 1 fruit water. Took +10 min.

Amazing El Salvadoran cuisine. Absolutely massive menu that would take months to try it all. Fresh made pupusas are mouthwatering heaven. Load them up with spicy cabbage and soak them in hot sauce. Then nap time. Soooo good!

We went here to satisfy a pupusa craving. The parking lot is tiny, and a nightmare. The restaurant is also small with minimal seating. However, the staff was wonderful and helpful with suggestions. Vegetarian pupusas available, as well as GF rice flour pupusas! We ordered a good variety of foods including different pupusas, the Chile Relleno, Yucca Frita (sin chicharron) and Platanos Fritos con Crema y Frijoles, Pastelitos de Pollo. Everything was delicious, with large portions. Going early before peak meal times is advised, and you can call in your order 30 min to an hour beforehand so you can pick up your food. The pupusas themselves are very filling, and 2 for lunch is perfect. They’re a little light on the salsa if you get takeout. Overall, would definitely recommend.

The food here is absolutely delicious came here to have lunch with my mom for my birthday. The only thing I didn’t like was that the food was a bit greasy for my taste, but overall it had great flavor. The price was decent and the customer service was great.

The pupusas are huge! It is almost like they deep fry then in oil, there is too much excess oil on them for my personal liking but they tasted very very good. I originally planned to take away my meal, but ended up eat there. The food was packaged nicely and had everything you need (forks, knifes, napkins etc). The food overall was 3 stars but I’m giving an extra star for the friendly service and we’ll packaged meal.
