La Original Pupusas Y Gorditas — Restaurant in Donna

Friendly staff, great food! Simple formula, works all the time.

Reason we came was a curiosity if the RGV had any El Salvadorian food in a search for pupusas. Looked on-line. Sure enough. They had the best reviews.

Indeed, the pupusas were great, living up to billing, particularly the melt in the mouth pork. Our waitress agreed saying they are the most popular.

Well, they also serve breakfast until 11 am, so we returned a couple days later. The migas did not disappoint, nor did the gorditas ranking as the best.

Oh, did I mention the homemade tortillas? Darn just finding this treasure a couple weeks before leaving the Valley after being here since...

Well very disappointed of the cashier, i was a regular customer that recomended this place all over the valley wherever i go to work from roma to brownsville,last time and im NOT RECOMENDING IT ANYMORE , i order breakfast to go and was charged if i wanted extra salsa, i got 3 small bottles for an order of 4 people, the cashier was rude and started talked on my back as soon as i turned, i went back and told her to stop that is a big order and don't see it fair to be charged extra,,never,ever again she was respectful. Plus i stop promoting and asking people not to go anymore to avoid the disappointment. And...

First time coming here because we wanted to try the pupusas and we saw good reviews, but it was not it. We waited over an hour for our food. They did take our order quickly and gave us chips and salsa. But the chips were just crumbs with a ton of oil dripping from them. The server told us they were taking forever because it was only one person making the food yet about three other tables that came in way after us had already received their food. We tried to be understanding (which keep in mind it was not busy at all) but i just thought it was crazy to wait over an hour...
