La Pupusa Loca - Phoenix

If you want glamour and scenery in dining surroundings this is not your place BUT if you want great Salvadorian food you are in luck. We have had take out often but this is the first in house dining in over 3 years. Took my friend and the rest of our household here and as usual we were very pleased. The pupusas' are great as usual, the sides are good, and the people and service were great. The surroundings have not been updated for years and caution, the rest rooms are really bad. It is hard to find, in a strip mall in south Phoenix, but certainly the best pupusa's we have found. Our friend who lives in our household is from El Salvador and attests to the authenticity of the food.

The inside looks more like a sports bar. I ordered and the wait time to receive my food was around 30 minutes. I went here to try the plato loco, had high expectations based on the reviews of this place, to start the prices are not accurate, took time for my food to be out and the food order was not the same as described on the menu. When I get home I see everything is there except tortillas, fried beans and only 2 chorizos instead of 4 and a lot of small pieces of meat which that wasn't on the description on the menu. Everything was too greasy and almost burnt, the only thing that was okay were the pupusas. Not worth my 20 minute drive there.Parking: It's inside a plaza which has a lot of parking spaces, the bad thing is that there's a lot of pot holes.

Food was DELICIOUS. Atmosphere and service was okay, can't complain. Cheap prices. Location is not in the best area, but it was an overall good experience.

I dont recommend this place to anyone.first of all the atmosphere looks like a mobsters hangout.the food was nasty and not worth paying for.the horchata tasted like espresso.Restrooms are open to the homeless.pupusas were awful..i traveled from Harcajilla big mistake..if ur ever traveling west around 339 th ave Van buren theres a food truck that sells pupusas...the best I highly recommend.

Pupusas are delicious but restaurant is empty due to random prices. Prices on menu are not accurate. 6bottleneck beers. 4 lemonade . 22 shrimp cocktail. Parking has huge pot holes. So summary I recommend picking up and buying only pupusas. Be careful with pot holes
