Pupusería Ilobasco - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was great and affordable. The service was friendly too. I make it a point to come whenever I’m in the area. The best thing to order is the pupusas.

My experience at the restaurant was centered around the food. I found the sopa de caldo and pupusa to be very delicious. However, the prices were just a little higher than most.

I visited for the second time to be sure of my opinion. As Salvadoran food, it's not good at all. As Mexican food, it's okay. The pupusas are fatally bad; they look like Mexican quesadillas. The staff is very friendly.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was okay, but I felt it was overpriced. I noticed a sign inside indicating a plate was $14. 95, but I ended up paying $17. 90. Additionally, the restaurant is cash only, which was an inconvenience. The service and atmosphere were rated as average (3 out of 5), and the food received a 4 out of 5. The recommended dish was the Cheese and Pork Pupusa.

My experience at this restaurant was truly disappointing. I've officially had the worst pupusas here, and the food in general was very disappointing. I would not recommend this place, especially not for a dog. The service was okay, but it couldn't make up for the food. Again, the pupusas were the worst I've ever had!

My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing. The pupusas were mediocre, described as small with insufficient filling, leading to a dry texture. While the service was friendly and attentive, the overall atmosphere was uncomfortable. The presence of almost naked women on TV during dining and the observation of the restaurant doubling as a bar for lonely men drinking beer in the stool section made for an unenjoyable dining experience. The jukebox also presented a cost for music, with old songs at $1 and new ones at $2 per song.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The atmosphere was great, and the pupusas were incredibly delicious, served with curtido and a slightly spicy salsa. They even have a TV where you can choose what program to watch, making it a good place to gather and watch a game.

My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The waitress was overly attentive, constantly touching my 19-month-old, and the proximity to the front door meant others also wanted to touch my child. I was also surprised by the "cash only" policy, as there was no visible sign. The atmosphere was further marred by some inappropriate pictures and figures of women. The pupusa options were limited and pre-mixed, preventing us from ordering specific fillings like just bean or chicharron with beans. However, the warm corn soup and empanadas de crema were good, and the chicken dish my companion had also looked appealing. The constant influx of people suggested the food is popular and likely worth a try if you're in the neighborhood and have cash.

I ordered 2 beef soups, and the wait time was super long. When I arrived, past the time they told me, the place was empty, but my order still wasn't ready. I waited even longer. Then, the 2 soups cost $43 dollars. Way too expensive and the service was bad.

I visited the restaurant around 12: 40 PM when it was empty. I ordered pupusas revueltas and a tamal salvadoreño. Unfortunately, they were out of the Regia beer I love, but Pacifico was an acceptable alternative. The pupusas were great, served with Curtido and salsa, offering an authentic taste that was so satisfying and reminded me of my grandma's cooking. The tamales were also delicious and fresh. Although the dining room was empty, I observed people coming in to order for takeout. I ate very quickly because it was soooo yummy. A crucial detail to note is that it's cash only!
