Budget-friendly local spot known for Salvadoran pupusas and casual evening food.
Pupusas El Antojo keeps things simple, with freshly made pupusas at the center of the experience. Cheese is a popular choice, alongside fillings such as beef, chorizo, and chicken, served with tomato sauce and pickled cabbage and carrots. Several guests particularly enjoy the crisp texture of the pupusas and find the portions filling for the price.
Vegetarian choices are available, and the owners have also prepared vegan versions without cheese on request. Beyond pupusas, guests mention an affordable típico breakfast, making the small restaurant an option at different points in the day.
The setting is casual and local, with warm, kind service appearing frequently in reviews. Experiences with the pupusas themselves are more divided than at some nearby restaurants, with recent criticism of an oily, potato-heavy meat version alongside much stronger praise from other diners. Cash is worth bringing, as a recent reviewer specifically notes paying that way.
