" I had high hopes for El Pupusodromo based on the rave reviews, but my visit was a letdown. It took over an hour to receive our food, and we were not acknowledged during the wait. The pupusas were decent but did not captivate me as I had hoped. The ambiance is good, but the service needs significant improvement before I would consider coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I enjoyed the pupusas at El Pupusodromo, I found the service lacking. My order took close to 40 minutes to arrive and the atmosphere felt rushed. It's a shame because the food is definitely authentic and hearty. If they could elevate their service game, this place would be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this restaurant! Every visit, I am pleased with my meal at El Pupusodromo. The pupusas are a must-try, hands down, and always cooked perfectly.
