“ First time trying pupusa and this place was so good! The service was fast and the ambiance was great. The salsa and the salad was a great combination with the pupusa. The pork beans and cheese is the best one. I the mushroom and cheese was good too but the mushroom made the pupusa a little soggy. Overall will definitely order again! ”
“ The food is amazing and I stumbled upon this place thru doordash. The service is always so fast and fresh! The papusas are small and thin but hearty! I absolutely love these and highly recommend! ”
“ Been driving past this food truck many times as we like getting Kona Island Coffee in the same parking lot around the corner and noticed this place always has people there. SO decided to give them a try and I'm SO GLAD we did!!! Got the 2 Pupusa plate - the Chicharron and Polo Con Queso. HIGHLY recommend especially with the pickled cabbage and we added the mild salsa! It was SO GOOD... not as stuffed as I'm used to but still had tons of flavor!! Our FAVORITE is the enchilada pollo combo! OMG - SO good! Keep in mind this is a Salvadoran enchilada - not your mexican type enchilada that sits on a masa disk. It was cruncy, meaty, with so much flavor - again - adding the cruncy cabbage and the salsa - a flavor and texture bomb. AND their rice and beans had lots of flavor as well - beans - so creamy and deep flavor - rice so fluffy and light! We also decided to try their pasteles asada - which are like little fried empanadas! Crispy, crunchy and lots of meat!! So good... And of course our all time favorite which it's only available at Salvadorian places - their plantanos con frijol y creama - which is the plantanos with creamy beans and their creama... The most DELICIOUS bite!! This is our family all time favorite and I'm so happy they have it and they are so close by!! Will definitely be coming back and trying other meats and dishes. Want to try their plantano empanada - more sweet than savory!! :) OH and service - the guy taking our order was so patient - explaining all the dishes - and it was all packed up nicely and he repeats the order when he hands it to you so you feel confident you're getting everything!! ”
“ I tried the steak and chicken pasteles (empanada-like snacks) and it was pretty good. The shells tasted just like the corn tortillas typically used to wrap enchiladas, and the meat inside both was juicy with good flavor, not too outstanding, but not bland. And it went perfectly with the same fresh and delicious salsa and curtido that comes with the pupusas. The staff provided standard service and my order took no more than 10 minutes to be ready. They have covered outdoor seating, but I took my order to go and it was packed nicely, hot and ready to eat. Parking was easy as there's 2-3 food trucks in this plaza that share a lot with other businesses, and Pupusa Time is right next to the Alliance gas station. I'd return, but next time I'm trying the pupusas! ”
