" While I enjoyed the pupusas, I can't say the same for the fried plantains. They were chewy and lacked flavor. The service was decent, albeit not very attentive. The atmosphere was quite casual, which I appreciated, but I feel as though they need to review their recipes and focus on consistency. I might try it again, but I'm on the fence. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pupusas at El Zipote are simply divine! I usually get the cheese with loroco and they are always perfection. The service was friendly, although it did take a little while to get seated during peak hours. If you're looking for a taste of Salvadoran heritage, definitely stop by here! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! I've been here a couple of times and the food never disappoints. The pupusas are hands down the best I’ve ever had, full of flavor and cooked perfectly every time! The restaurant has a cozy vibe that makes it a great spot for family dinners or casual hangouts. Definitely my go-to place for Salvadoran food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend El Zipote enough! The pupusas are truly authentic and come in generous portions, making it perfect for sharing. I also loved the ambiance, which felt homey and inviting. The staff was super friendly, and they genuinely seemed to care about their customers. I’ll be back regularly for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Zipote Pupuseria, I finally decided to give it a try. The pupusas were indeed good, with a nice crispiness to them that I loved. However, I found the service to be a little slow, particularly during peak hours. Despite that, the food makes up for any wait. I enjoyed the traditional flavors that truly represent Salvadoran food. I'll keep coming back for the food, but maybe at less busy times! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! I was blown away by the authenticity of the food at El Zipote. Everything from the pupusas to the yuca con chicharron tasted like home-cooked meals. I went on a Sunday and they had live music, creating a fun atmosphere that lifted my spirits. Definitely a place I will recommend to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not enjoyable. The pupusas fell flat with barely any filling and tasted bland. Service was disappointing as the waitress seemed preoccupied, leaving us without drinks during a busy mealtime. Unfortunately, I left without completing my meal. Would not recommend. " (*Curated Review*)
