" I've been to El Pope multiple times, and I finally decided to try their brunch. The fried plantains they brought out were a pleasant surprise, and the pupusas were rich and filling. Although there was a slight wait for our food, it was well worth it. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere make this place a favorite of mine. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for pupusas in Richmond. They never disappoint! I love the authentic flavors, especially the zucchini and cheese option. The environment is friendly and welcoming, perfect for casual dining. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first entered El Pope, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I left delighted! The decor was simple yet charming. I ordered the chicken torta and was blown away! It was bursting with flavors. However, my friend ordered the fajitas, and they seemed a bit lacking in flavor compared to the torta. Overall, a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a relaxing lunch at El Pope today. The pupusas were freshly made and filled, but I would’ve preferred more options for toppings. The service was alright, and it took a little longer than expected for my order to come. I would still return because of the great taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pope is a delightful find! While the aesthetics might not be luxurious, the authenticity of the food surely makes up for it. Service was friendly, albeit somewhat slow during the busy hours. I’ll definitely be coming back for the torta al pastor! " (*Curated Review*)
