Maria's - San Mateo

This has been our go to place for some time now, I'm just finally taking the time to give them a review. We normally place a phone order and bring it home, this place is a little too loud for us. Today I ordered pupusas revueltas (chicharrón and cheese) combo. It's 3 pupusas with a side of rice and beans. The pupusas have the perfect amount of masa and cheese. The beans and rice are so much better if you mix them together, the rice is a little bland. My husband had the same combo but his pupusas were with harina de arroz. The only reason I give them 4 stars and not 5 is because they don't have the best service, it's truly a hit or miss. I will not let that interfiere with the amazing pupusas

Best salvadorean food in Bay Area. Their menu is super extensive and pupusas are delicious. Wish they could deliver at home.

I like to come to this place when I want comfort food. Like home made food. When I want some good soup or when you sick and you need to orden a good soup this is the place that's you need to think about it. Either meat or chicken soup highly recommend. Full of fresh vegetables. Is a very simple place but food taste good is always fresh made when you ordered. The people on charge are very friendly. Their prices are also very good. I also ordered popusas to go. I like their popusas because they are not greasy and good taste. Their portion are always on the big size in all the dishes I been trying so far.

Friendly service and home cooked food! Ivan at the cash register was super nice we ordered the bistek encellolado and my friend had the carne asada. Both dishes were good the food takes a little longer than normal to arrive to the table but Ivan said everything was cooked to order. Delicious food, lots of it and very affordable prices. Clean restroom and restaurant overall. I would eat here again.

Don’t get how people can complain or give a bad review if you want good authentic Salvador food and like pupusas this is the PLACE !! Best I’ve had in a while !
