" Had a disappointing experience at Pupusas Express last month. The pupusas we ordered seemed overcooked, and the service was slow. I didn’t get the impression that the staff were fully caring for all customers, as my meal took much longer to prepare than my friends. I know they can do better, as I've had great meals here before. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The pupusas were fresh and flavorful, embodying the authenticity I had been craving. The atmosphere was simple yet inviting. I didn’t expect much but was delighted with the service and the sincerity from the staff. It's worth coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
