" A great place to treat yourself to some comforting pupusas. I really enjoyed the different fillings they offered. The bean with cheese was my personal favorite, but everything I had tasted great. The atmosphere was nothing special but cozy enough to enjoy a meal. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how amazing my meal was at Pupuseria Emily! The pupusas were finger-licking good. The consistency of their food feels genuine and flavorful. I experimented with my order today, and now I can't wait to return to try more. The portion size was more than satisfying, and their horchata is the perfect companion. It feels like a little slice of heaven each time I go there! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Pupuseria Emily, the food is simply excellent. While the pupusas are the highlight, I also love their irrefutable homemade sauces that elevate the meal. Portions are generous, and the prices match what you receive. The service fluctuates but generally good. Even when it’s busy, they manage to keep things moving. It’s worth navigating the small space to enjoy what they offer! " (*Curated Review*)

" It feels great to find an authentic Salvadoran eatery like Pupuseria Emily. I enjoyed the atmosphere and genuinely felt like I was enjoying home-cooked meals. The pupusas are delicious and each bite represents the true taste of Salvadoran cuisine. I'm definitely going to come back with friends to share this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s so hard to find an authentic spot like Pupuseria Emily! I felt at home as soon as I stepped through the door. The food was just like I remembered from my grandmother's cooking. The pupusas were perfectly made, and I can't recommend the tamales enough! They are soft and packed with flavor. The environment is nice for dining in, although it's popular and gets bustling, adding to the charm. I will definitely come back for more wonderful meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Pupuseria Emily was just okay for me. Their pupusas had a lot of cheese, but lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. I was expecting more since so many people rave about this place. The drinks were pretty good, so that at least saved the meal a bit. I'd have to rethink my choice before heading back there; for the prices, there should be a more exciting flavor profile. A mixed experience, I would say. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience on my visit. The pupusas were perfect—everything was super fresh and the flavors reminded me of home. The portions were generous; I struggled to finish everything I ordered! The service can be inconsistent on busier nights, but it's understandable given how loved this place is. I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
