All I have to say is wow. Its been over a week since trying the papusas here and I’m still talking about them. These were the best things that I have ever eaten. If I was a NC local, I would be here everyday. I can’t wait to visit again because I will certainly be coming back.

As a local, it’s one of the best places to eat in Hillsborough at any time. Fruit juices, delicious food variety (get the Pupusas!), Bakery (tiramisu!), and on weekends they got tamales! Great portions and prices. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming staff. Genuinely come here even if it’s just for a slice of tiramisu and a juice during a lunch break! Always new things on display to try. Love it.

Samantha’s is amazing! In addition to the pupusas they also have delicious baked goods. We ordered the strawberry tres leches cake for a birthday, and it is my new favorite cake ever. The people that work there are always very nice. Highly recommend!

This place is legit AF no cap. I don’t give out 5 stars easily but this is well deserved. Truly authentic food. Hand made to order papusas. Hard to find items like huitlacoche. And an incredible selection of cakes.

Great food! They need a bigger place because this food is authentic and very flavorful, it will get more popular! I didnt like my cake, it was dry and frosting wasnt sweet. Pies are great and cookies. They also have breakfast!

Best authentic food in town. Fresh fresh fresh with flavor not some red and brown sauces that cover the so called authentic food at other Hispanic restaurants. I can’t exactly pronounce all the options but I love the three tacos plate. Great homemade desserts too. The food far exceeds the looks of the place. Great quality at a reasonable price.

The food here is outstanding. The papusas were great. Very fresh. With three of us dining, we were able to try ever variety they offer. Papusas are served three to an order. The tasty slaw that came with them was not overpowering like some places make it. Green and red hot sauces were on the table if you prefer it spicier.

Absolutely terrific! The food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. We shared guacamole and salsa with chips. The salsa was delicious and the guacamole was wonderful. We shared three pupusas: chicken, shrimp, and mushroom. They bring out three sauces out to try with pupusas. The green sauce is tangy and mild, the red sauce in clear bottle is very good, tomato-y. The one in the red bottle has the heat. Everything we ate was just fantastic. They have a small indoor dining area, several tables outside with umbrellas. You order inside at the counter and they bring your food to you. The service is top notch. Everyone working here was so friendly and helpful. You may encounter a wait time and it will be worth it.
