" My first attempt at dining at La Sonsonateca was somewhat lackluster. Though the pupusas were decent, the filling was not as generous as I expected, and the service felt rushed. I would recommend giving them another try based on the many positive reviews I've read. Perhaps it was an off night for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at La Sonsonateca! The pupusas were out of this world. We tried several flavors and the revueltas were my favorite—they were perfectly made and filled with delicious cheese. The ambiance was warm, and the service was stellar! Can't wait to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Sonsonateca was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance evokes a traditional Salvadoran eatery, which sets the mood perfectly for enjoying their delicious food. The pupusas we ordered were divine, especially the mixed ones. However, I think the empanadas could use some work; they were a bit doughy for my taste. Nonetheless, the friendly service made up for it. I’ll definitely return for the pupusas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to La Sonsonateca since it opened and can't recommend it enough. They have the best pupusas in the city, full of flavor and nostalgia. The new seating area is comfortable, enhancing the dining experience. The staff is always friendly and aims to please. This place is a true treasure for anyone who appreciates Salvadoran cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" So excited to finally eat at La Sonsonateca! The pupusas were heavenly, and the yuca frita was equally delicious! The staff was very helpful in recommending options, and the restaurant was cheerful and clean. Even though I had to wait for a table, the food was absolutely worth it! This will be a new place on my regular list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really hoping for a positive experience based on past reviews, but my last visit was disappointing. The pupusas were undercooked and my order was left incomplete. The service wasn't very attentive, and it was frustrating to have to chase down staff for assistance. I had a much better experience before, so I’m hoping this was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Sonsonateca yesterday and had a mixture of experiences. The pupusas were good, but I've tasted better in other places. The service was friendly, but it seemed like the staff was overwhelmed during peak hours. I wouldn't rule out returning, but my expectations weren't fully met. " (*Curated Review*)
