Mi Lindo Cuscatlan Restaurant y Pupuseria: Reviews & Ratings
Got my team pupusas for a corporate event and they didn't disappoint. They were HUGE! Received great feedback from the event. They provided great service. Will continue to buy from them.
Food: good, 10/10 no están grasosas las pupusas They're huge too! Worth the price of $3.50 each Service: can be SLOW, so plan to order ahead! Ambiance: sad, no vibe, feels like you're not in a nice area. They need to remodel inside and have better lighting! Plus, the seating is crowded. They gotta change the seats to tables instead of booths/couches.
This pupuseria is better than most of the pupuseria's I tried in El Salvador and definitely the best I've had around this area and I've been living here for 10 years. Amazing food, nice and chill ambiance and they treat you good. If you call in it's about 45 mins till the food will be ready but it's absolutely worth it.
El mejor lugar para una rica comida salvatrucha!! Pupusas revueltas, pastelitos, empanadas de leche, plátanos fritos y una horchata todo sabroso! Best salvy spot ever!!! Service is great, ambiance is chill.
Very Generous Portions Pupusas were really good. I cannot complain I would recommend it !
This place is legit! Food is flavorful And the portions are big Staff is nice and friendly Aaaaaa++++
Been here a few times, and it has been consistently fire, dead ass. The pupusas, both revueltas(mixed pork/bean/cheese) & cheese. Platanos were yummy as well. My only quarrel is with curtido(pickled cabbage). Its lacks kick, maybe needs more vinegar or something. Tomato salsa is on point as well for topping. We found our new go to spot closer to home. Pro tip, order ahead and expect little longer than estimated time. Pupusas are made fresh. Cant rush greatness
Very delicious! The restaurant is cute and inviting. I really liked the ocean mural on the wall. The dolphins were so cute! The menu is a nice size and not overwhelming. It covers all the Salvadorian staples. I usually oscillate between pupusas, of course! Plátanos, frijoles and crema, and a salpicón. Today I had a fruit drink - refresco de ensalada. It was super tasty!!!!!! A teensy too sweet but I added more ice and it balanced out very nice. The diced apple and other fruits were fresh. Pupusa de chicharrón and queso - Yummmmmmmm hot and fresh. The flavors were savory, rich and delicious. I topped with curtido and tomato salsa and it was amazing. I only wished the curtido was a little more vinegary. It was still very good, but I guess I personally like my curtido with a little more punch. Plátanos, beans and crema - Wow, this is probably my favorite so far, when it came to the plátanos. They were perfectly sweet, caramelized and textured. LOVED them. The beans were great, crema was yummy. I REALLY enjoyed this place. I recommend it! And I would like to return!

Don’t just take my word for it; the patrons rave about the pupusas. With portions stated to be generous and flavors that excite the palate, many customers, like Anna M., have remarked on the impressive size of the pupusas, which shine during corporate events. They’ve garnered great accolades for exceptional service and taste.
Another customer, Luis M., noted that the quality of the pupusas here surpasses many he has tried in El Salvador, calling them the best he’s had in a decade. That’s high praise! The secret lies in their commitment to various flavors—choose from the popular revueltas to tantalizing empanadas de leche. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a refreshing horchata or a cold beer.
While ambiance may take a back seat, the heart of Mi Lindo Cuscatlan is undoubtedly the food.
