" I visited after hearing many good things but was thoroughly disappointed. The pupusas were overly doughy and not at all crispy. I couldn't finish my meal because it did not taste fresh. The server didn’t check back on us until we were ready to leave. It's sad because I really wanted to enjoy it. I doubt I'll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Zipote is the perfect blend of great food and warmth! The pupusas are velvety and absolutely satisfying. The prices are fair for the quality you get. Though I faced a lengthy wait time due to how busy it was, it was well worth it for the authentic Salvadoran flavors. A great spot for comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Zipote was a highlight of my culinary adventures! The pupusas we ordered were stuffed to perfection, and you could tell they were made with genuine ingredients. The ambiance felt welcoming, though I did notice it could get quite crowded during lunch. A friendly staff member managed to keep up with the busy flow while ensuring we were taken care of. I can't wait to return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best place for pupusas! I love how perfectly crispy they are and how they have so many options. I went with friends and we shared a bunch of different kinds - the chicharron is to die for. The vibe here is chill, and everyone is friendly. I think this is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Salvadoran cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how delicious the papusas were at El Zipote! I had never tried them before and now I'm hooked! The portions are huge and the prices are incredibly reasonable for such authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The ambiance was cozy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. I'll definitely be coming back! " (*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*)
