La Sultana Panaderia y Pupuseria — Restaurant in Houston

I called the order so it would be ready by the time I got to the restaurant. I got there, the lady in the register asked me my name and went to check for my order. She comes back and tells me it’s not ready. I told her it was fine and I sat down. A couple of minutes later she asks me for my name.... once again I tell her my name and she tells me she doesn’t have an order with my name. I’m sorry what? I have a few questions. First off.... what order did you check for and said was not ready if you didn’t have an order with my name? Secondly, if you didn’t have an order, why didn’t you just ask me when I got there. Thirdly, who took my order then? This is the second time I’ve been there. The first time was great. If the pupusas weren’t so freaking good! Ugh. I was so upset I left. Just an FYI take the persons name and double/triple check to make sure they...

5 stars for the papusa just off the chain! This place is divey, run down, kind of 3rd world ghetto... not for the OCD clean freak.

Just plain ol cheese but the best one i have eaten in many years. This little cheese papusa has now inspired me to go on the hunt to find the best papusa in Houston. I was at a really good taco shop the other day that also touted their papusa's but it was a waste of 2 bucks. Their tripe taco was amazing lol but that's a diff review lol. I also ordered the stewed beef short ribs. It was good but i should have listened to the customer sitting near me when i asked for his 2 cents. Papusa, papusa, papusa's...

A great little place for delicious authentic Salvadorean food. Don't go if you are in a rush, because they tend to take a long time getting the food to your table.

The atmosphere could be better. They are a typical little hole in the wall place, nothing fancy, but that's not why I'm marking them down on this point. The problem is the TVs. They will have three different things on at once with the sound from one TV competing with the others.

All in all, great food at a great price, though. Had the baleada especial. Table service is limited to bringing your plate out to your table, but they don't...
