What Michael Kane doesn't like about Pupusas Express Y Mexican Food:
This was my first time eating pupusas. The first one was delicious, a perfect ratio of cheese, beans, pork, and masa. The second pupusa tasted like styrofoam, because it had fused with the styrofoam container. I would recommend skipping this place until they change their packaging. It's unfortunate because the food is otherwise delicious. View all feedback. What Brenda B likes about Pupusas Express Y Mexican Food:
This is my spot for popusas so far! I only order popusas from here and order Togo. No particular reason just feels a lot better taking my 5 popusas kicking back watching tv while I grub mmmm I can taste them now. Ok back to the review, bottom like is they are delicious! Parking is shared with other businesses and it's small so keep that in mind, I would go in the non busy hours. View all feedback.

Food was delicious and cooked to order. prices are reasonable. It seems other reviews are impatient and don’t appreciate freshly cooked (vs microwaved)
