Pupuseria Casa Maria — Restaurant in Indianapolis

The Pupusas are always great, but this most recent order was the best. I’ve been coming here since 2022. This order was esthetically pleasing to the eye, the chicken was everything I have to remember when it comes to Mexican food (Salvadorian in this case) beef is ground beef, you have to specify Steak or Carne Asada one would think having lived in CA age 7-40 by now I’d remember that lol nonetheless the beef Pupusas were meh just ok, but prepared wonderfully just when it comes down to beef if it’s not spaghetti, dirty rice or hamburgers it’s never my preferred meat. The Horchata is a hit or miss each visit it was a hit this time. I’m gonna have to start asking for a sample cup before ordering because I always order a large. The employees are always great, even those with limited English do their very best to understand and communicate with you, I appreciate their efforts and courteous demeanor. It’s a pretty cool 1st date atmosphere if I had to recommend one. I forgot to order my chicken Tamalas. It’s been close to a year before this visit. I would definitely recommend this place and if you enjoy trying new things… try the Pupusas the curtido (cabbage topping) really add to the already...

I'd give this place a 10/5 if I could. Where to even start?! First of all, this is a family-owned place where half the staff at straight from El Salvador so you are getting good, authentic, consistent food. Second, the staff are always very kind and helpful. My bf has food allergies and they were fully willing to talk to me about it and assure us the food was safe for him. Third, they are FAST at making your food fresh. Period. Last but not least, they have embraced technology. Lots of small shops don't but you can pay with Apple Pay or order from DoorDash. If you've never had El Salvadoran food, I highly recommend dipping in here. Get the Quesadilla El Salvadorina: it's basically a cream cheese sponge cake! SO...

Summary: Inexpensive, tasty, interesting, and pleasant experience with Salvadoran restaurant pupusas. (Other foods for sale include tacos and tamales, for those looking for more familiar forms of Central American "outer wrappings.")

Details: Eager service. Time between taking order and serving ready food might be a little longer than a national fast food chain, but not by much.

IIRC, I've tried steak, chicken, and cheese & loroco pupusas here; chorizo-sausage is another obvious available option. All pupusas tried were considered good by myself, and by any others sharing them. At $3.50 per pupusa, food quantity seems similar to what you'd expect at a more inexpensive fast food chain, but made with better...
