" Pupuseria La Molienda is my go-to spot for Salvadorian food! I recently tried their pork and cheese pupusas and they were heavenly. The masa was fresh, and the cheese was generous. However, I noticed they seem a little understaffed during busier hours. If you're in a hurry, consider calling ahead to place your order, otherwise, you might find yourself waiting longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Pupuseria La Molienda, I leave with a full belly and a smile. Their pupusas are the best around, and the environment, though small, is always warm and welcoming. I highly recommend the chicken and cheese pupusa, it’s my personal favorite! Just keep in mind that it can get crowded, so calling ahead is a must if you want to skip the wait. Overall, a must-visit for anyone who loves Salvadorian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little gem! The pupusas here are incredible—massive and packed with flavor. If you're looking for authentic Salvadorian food, you can't go wrong. There are several vegetarian options, which is a huge plus for my family. Just make sure you're prepared to wait; everything is made fresh. Highly recommend the tamales de elote as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Pupuseria La Molienda! The authenticity of the food is fantastic. I’ve been coming here for special occasions with my family for years. The service can fluctuate, but honestly, the taste of the food makes up for it. Still, you might want to emphasize the need for polite services to the staff—they sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed during busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to Pupuseria La Molienda after hearing friends rave about it for ages! I ordered the pupusas con queso and the tamales. Both dishes were rich in flavor and incredibly filling. I have to say, the decor of the place is quite modest, but it adds to the homey feeling of the restaurant. The lines can get long, so avoid the peak hours if you can! " (*Curated Review*)

" To be honest, I was a bit let down by my visit to Pupuseria La Molienda. I found the flavors to be slightly bland compared to other pupuserias I’ve been to. While the portions were generous, I believe there’s a disconnect between the hype and the actual taste. The service left much to be desired as well; our server seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in helping us. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got a chance to try Pupuseria La Molienda after hearing so much about it. Their pupusas are massive and made to order. I particularly enjoyed the cheese and jalapeño—so delicious! However, the dining area was warmer than I expected. The service was good, but overloaded during peak times without enough help. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
