" First visit here and I was excited to try the pupusas but was a bit underwhelmed. They weren’t terrible but didn’t quite match the hype I’ve heard. Service was decent but could be improved with more attention to detail. The atmosphere didn’t feel as vibrant as I had hoped. I might visit again, but I’m looking forward to trying other Salvadoran places to compare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place but ended up disappointed. I’ve had better Salvadoran food elsewhere. The pupusa I ordered was decent but lacked that homemade taste. Service was okay, not outstanding. The atmosphere was pretty plain. All in all, might consider visiting a different spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has a carnival of flavors in their pupusas, but service can be hit or miss. I've found the staff friendly, but some days, it’s inconsistency in attention can be frustrating. I remember a time when my friends and I waited nearly an hour for our order to arrive. When it did, however, the pupusas were hot and made to order. It’s a toss-up, but worth trying if you have the patience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pupusas were delicious, no doubt about it! My favorite is the beans and cheese. They were nice and crispy on the outside while remaining soft in the middle. I appreciated their attention to detail and the way they decorated the plates. The owner was friendly, but I did feel the wait was a bit longer than expected, especially during lunch hour. Still, I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpected gem! I discovered this restaurant last week and have already gone back twice. The pupusas are so flavorful; each one is made fresh, and you can watch them prepare it right in front of you. I tried the cheese and green chili which had a pleasant kick! The owners are incredibly friendly, making sure all customers feel at home. The environment is casual, which is perfect for a quick bite! You won’t regret checking this place out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come here, it feels like coming home. The flavors of pupusas remind me so much of my childhood. It's comforting to know they prioritize quality and authenticity in the meals. It's always a slower dining experience, which I appreciate because it gives me time to savor the food. The surroundings might need updating, but I will always return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a loyal customer of Variedad De Pupusas for years! Their pupusas are simply the best around. The blend of flavors in the bean and cheese is heavenly. I also love that they make everything fresh when you order. Yes, the wait can be a bit long, but the food is definitely worth it! The ambiance could use a little sprucing up but I always feel welcomed when I visit. Highly recommend trying the mixed pupusas for a real treat! " (*Curated Review*)
