Stopped in here on a whim. Was not disappointed. The food was fantastic. The owner was very personable and even gave us some free samples of Ecuadorian drinks. I will be going back for sure.

The Pupusa’s here are amazing all of them, the bean & cheese, steak or pork & cheese or just cheese!! The customer service is amazing the guy and staff are so friendly.. These Pupusa are as amazingly good or even better than the one’s I were addicted to in Cali!! “I’ll be back” (: Thank you Izalco!!!

Pupusas are absolutely delicious here. My mom also loves their pan de queso which they sell in halves. Everything I’ve tried from this place has been fairly priced and consistently good. They also accept card payments now. Highly recommend!

If you don't order the RICE PUPUSAS... What are you doing with your life? El mero mero means "the one and only", and that's how I describe Izalco. This restaurant is a rich taste of El Salvador's best. For any pupusa lovers in the area, Izalco is a must. I don't want to neglect the other fantastic dishes served here, another notable favorite of mine is the quesadilla, which is not to be confused with what an America considers a quesadilla to be. Here the quesadilla is a traditional delicious cornbread. One final note is the disclaimer that currently, the RICE PUPUSAS are only available on weekends.

We wanted to try the savadoran food and this was random to us. The staff was patient as we struggled with our lack of their language but brought us exactly what we asked for. Food was AMAZING!!! It is an older place with tiny bathroom and tight parking- but just what we needed! Highly recommend and will go back when back in town!!
