SEASONAL DRINK: ** Atol de Calabaza (Pumpkin Hot Drink) = (4.25) Very tasty. Same flavor profile as Pumpkin Pie;)

Solid pupusas. These are great and the cheese pull is top notch on the pupusas with cheese. Service is friendly and place is pretty casual.

This is a nice local spot for pupusas. The plates are large! I had ordered three pupusas, two queso and one carne with the corn flour. They are made fresh and were so filling! Once you walk in you're immediately greeted by the staff. It wasn't busy when I went, so it was a seat yourself situation. The waitress came over immediately and took drink orders while you looked through the menu. The pupusas do vary on price depending on the filling, but they are very cheap! I will definitely return here again.

The pupusas here were delicious. I got the jalapeño and cheese along with the beef pupusa and the flavor was great! The staff here is extremely nice. Their juices are also great (tried hibiscus and passion fruit). I would recommend this place to anyone who is in the mood for pupusas. Can't wait to come back!

We went here on a uneventful Tuesday here for some grub. We went with my sis in law and my brother. They recommended it since they have been here before. The food was good, flavorful. My brother and I ordered the carne asada, my sis in law ordered the pupusas she said they were really good. My son got the steak quesadilla and my husband got the steak and cheese sandwich. But i wish that the carne asada has some pico de gallo in the serving that would be a nice addition. Everything was pretty good portions. Huge and prices were decent and affordable especially the pupusas. The service was good. She made sure we were taken care of. The whole restaurant was quiet big spacious.

We keep going to Papuseria Mama Emilia and are never disappointed, but this last time, we got the Pescado Frito (fried whole Tilapia) and it was a-ma-zing!!! Deep fried, but still flaky and tender, and the bones weren't too small so they were easy to pick out. Not too salty, and a perfect complement to the rice and salad on the plate. Holy cow, this was a good meal! Yes, they still have the best papusas in town, but now I can honestly say they have the best fish in town. I know exactly what I'm ordering next time I visit - you should try it too!

Show me on a Saturday for brunch. We want to try a few other people so so we ended up getting four and splitting them. We tried the pupusa Revuelta (1 with loroco and one without), the chorizo and cheese, and the jalapeño and cheese. I think my favorite one was the revuelta and my boyfriend liked the chorizo. We also ordered the yuca fries, and unfortunately, they didn't have any green sauce. Do you get fries were still good and they brought us over some red sauce that you use for the Pupusas. All of our food, including the four Pupusas two drinks and the yucca fries ended up being about $18 which is really affordable. The service was friendly, but pretty slow. We ended up, waiting a while to get her food and then again waited a long time to get our check.
