" If you’re craving authentic pupusas, look no further than El Pope! Each bite brings back memories of my trips to Central America. The pricing is very reasonable, and the portion size is generous. I highly recommend coming here for a taste of home! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food quality at El Pope is consistently amazing! I ordered the bean and cheese pupusa along with a side of steak tacos, and both dishes were fantastic. I've been here so often, and I have never been disappointed. It really feels like a small piece of El Salvador right in Richmond. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a hidden gem! The food was amazing. I had the carne asada tacos and they were seasoned to perfection. The service was friendly but a bit slow; however, it was worth the wait given the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful spot! El Pope has a great menu with a variety of options. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp rolls—wonderful seasoning! The atmosphere was cozy.

" 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*)
