The papusas are cheap and extremely filling! Definitely only order one or two. Unfortunately food takes forever to make - but they may have just been short-staffed today. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Pupusas Revueltas
One of the best places in Provo for sure! I’ve loved coming here with my friends as it is a friendly atmosphere with really great prices. The pupusas are AMAZING and I highly recommend them Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Pupusas Revueltas
Good place to eat pupusas. Pupusas here were a lot better than other places. but still, they are not the same as the real salvadoreans pupusas. I will say they are 6 or 7 out of 10. they are a little bit bigger than a normal pupusa, so you won't eat as many as you think. the price is a little bit too much. $3.25 per pupusa. UT still you can be full with 2 or 3 pupusas. the salsa or the Curtiso was a little bit spicy. and I think they should offer the no spicy option for kids or for people that don't tolerate spicy.

When it comes to Mexican food, I’m a pretty picky person. This is one of those rare little gems with both Mexican food and El Salvadoran eats with both quality and quantity. Everything that my family had tasted amazing. Even the rice and beans, which at most places is downright disappointing, were packed full of flavor. The star of the show for all of us or the Pupusas. El Mexsal is now our go to restaurant in the area that no one in my family will complain about. Even the staff were very friendly, quick, and helpful!

THE BEST PUPUSAS EVER!! I have tried so many places in utah and this is my favorite: for the price and taste you can’t beat it. chips and salsa free to start and then yummy pupusas and I also love the fried plantains!! 10/10! Service is wonderful!! Service Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I have been coming here for years. My late little sister and I used to get food to go here all the time, and I have yet to have a bad meal. I came here with a cousin the other day so he could try it, and neither of us were disappointed! The waitress we had was so sweet, and I love their rice and beans! It's definitely a darling little hole in the wall with great food! Would recommend! The only exception is their guacamole. It had no flavor other than tasting the tomatoes, so if you're a guac fan, this isn't probably the place for you, lol. Everything else is steller!

Really good food. The bean and cheese pupusa was really good. The cheese enchilada was okay. I’d try something else next time and they have several vegetarian options to choose from. It’s looks small from the outside but it’s a pretty big place. We went at 5:30 on a Wednesday and it was already pretty full, but we didn’t have to wait to be seated. The server was great, very attentive and the service was fast. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20
My wife and I have now been here quite a few times since it is walkable from where we live. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Provo. All the servers are bilingual and very kind and helpful. The food is really astounding. The pupusas are always hot and delicious and come quickly. I really like the pupusas revueltas, they are only $3.15 each but lots of food - 2 plus chips and salsa is plenty of food for even me who typically gets lots of food. Chips and salsa comes gratis with dine in and is fantastic. I've also gotten the Bistec Encebollado which was amazing, the meat was cooked well and the rice was heavenly. Last but definitely not least - try the horchata salvadoreña! It's like chocolate spiced horchata and it's delicious. No bike racks, but since we just walk it's not been an issue.

Delicious Papusas! The pork was wooow 😍😍😍 savory and soo delicious! I wish I had bought more! I ordered the Cheese, Beans, and Pork Pupusa (Revueltas). I ordered the Roast Tacos (Tacos de Asada) and was not impressed. It was dry and not very savory. It came with only 1 taco and seemed over priced. I also tried to order the Empanadas de Camaron but they are only available on Saturdays. Update: Ordered Papusas Revueltas - delicious but the pork seemed a bit skimpy. I think next time I’ll ask for extra pork because it’s so savory and delicious. 🤤
The food here is great! I had a beef tostada and pork enchilada and my wife had a beef burrito (see pictures). They both tasted great! Some of the best Mexican food I have had. However, I give only three stars because it took a long time to get food and we never had a waiter/waitress come by. No refills or even to just ask how we were doing.
