Pupuseria Salvadorena & Authentic Mexican Foods — Restaurant in Toronto

Could it be that many of the reviews here have been posted by friends and family? The pupusas are OK but I've had better in Toronto, and the rest of the food is unremarkable, especially for a main course at $15. Not sure if the server was overwhelmed but she wasn't exactly friendly to us (native speakers of Spanish, mind you). More annoying was that on a Saturday at 6pm, the place was already packed with boisterous men drinking beer and talking, shall we call it, "men's talk," shouting over the music cranked up to the max. In a way that's "authentic" but it's not a place where you'd want to take your girlfriend...

This place has very good food but inside there its literally a "cantina". Too many drunks so you can't go with a girlfriend or the wife, unless you are a calm person and is ready to put up with nonsense. One thing that hissed me off here is that I ordered pupusas on the phone. The total amount was $17 dollars. I went there and gave the cashier a $20 and she helped herself in keeping my $3 change. That's unacceptable, I ordered the food to go, I should NOT have to give tip. These greedy waitresses there will keep your change so make sure you give them exact change or...

We were visiting Toronto for the first time and really wanted some authentic Salvadoran food—this place did not disappoint! Since it was Tuesday, they had pupusas on special for just $3, and we also tried the chicharrón with yuca, sopa de res (a hearty beef and vegetable soup), and pastor tacos. Everything was delicious!

The location might seem a little off the beaten path, but that just added to its charm. It’s owner-operated, and the service was warm and welcoming. Definitely a great spot for anyone craving Salvadoran...
