Ricas Pupusas — Restaurant in Orem

I’ve been coming here about once a month for the last 6 months. The food is a solid 4 stars. The service is a barely 1.

If I was to rate this based on my first experience I would give it a 4, but every time I come back it gets worse.

Definitely understaffed. Both the waiter and the waitress seem bothered whenever I ask for anything at all. People seem to come in, order, and go home before I get my food. Even when I called in my order. Definitely seems some people get better service than others.

Sometimes my large drink cost $3.50 sometimes it costs $5. Looked it up on the menu and there was no mention of a large drink. Food is much more expensive than the other places in town.

Once, I paid with a 20 and the waitress/cashier was mad at me because she didn’t have change. I ended up going home 2 dollars short.

Overall, the food is good. But it’s the staff that made this...

Best tamales I've had EVER! I've been meaning to try this place for a while since i love love love tamales.

By the way there are two sides to their menu!

So I really loved the guatemalan tamales..nice and different from your typical (mexican tamale) and quite bigger and more moist. It's wrapped in a banana leaf. A unique mixture of things on the inside. An olive, pork with bone in and I think that's it.

The pork & chicken (mexican) tamales we're so delicious and equally as fresh.

It all tastes SO authentic & freshly made.

I also tried their cheese pupusa and their bean papusa!! Absolutely incredible♡.

All orders I listed are Gluten freeeee For those GF folks out there.

Loved it all so much...and eager to come back and EXPLORE other dishes on their menu♡.

Thanks...

This place was a total disappointment for typical Salvadorean breakfast. I would give this place one star but I’m giving it 2 stars only because my husband had Pupusas and he said they were great. I am from El Salvador and wanted to have the huevos picados meal. The beans were pinto, too blended, almost like soup. The presentation was horrible. They didn’t give me avocado, which was included. They brought my food first and brought my husbands’ 15 minutes later. The worst were the platanos. Awful awful. I even asked them if the cook was Salvadorean because these platanos were so dried, very bad cooked, and almost burnt. If you want a really good Salvadorean breakfast go to El Salvador restaurant that is east of this one, always in center st. They do a better job...
