What Contractor Joe doesn't like about El Pulgarcito:
This low quality restaurant is run by the cashier/owner/server who is very rude and will not give anyone that is not Spanish the time of day. Even when my girlfriend who speaks Spanish called in and tried to place a large order for papusas (in spanish) with cheese and yuka he would not let us order without getting pork with the yuka (we do not eat) this is the second time this has happened and the owner is very stubb...

My second time and love it every time, it is very affordable. The only thing is there's always a wait I believe there's only 2 Staff working including the Owner. The owner is very nice, locals go there. View all feedback.

Great tasting food. It's not fast food, and thus takes time to prepare but it's well worth the wait.

The Pupusas are so good. Made fresh as you order! I'm so happy I found this place. They're going to get sick of seeing me.

El Pulgarcito is a hidden gem in Scarborough serving delicious, authentic Salvadorian cuisine. The restaurant has an excellent variety of food options, with generous portions and friendly service. While the establishment may need a bit of updating, the food is definitely worth the visit. Customers rave about the flavorful and fresh dishes, especially the pupusas, which are made to order and full of love. Unfortunately, the restaurant will be closing soon, so make sure to visit before it's too late. Despite the impending closure, El Pulgarcito remains a beloved spot for those craving soulful, comfort food in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
