“So tasty!! Lots of veg options & friendly staff. Good energy and big portions!”
“Best pupusas since I was a little girl eating these every time my mom would bring some home. They have a vegetarian plate which was full of deliciousness. Favorite was beans and cheese.”
“Loved it! Thank you for bringing pupusas to my world again... Manuel, I came in with my friends from Belgium. We sampled four different pupusas: Revuelta, Frijol y queso, Chicharones, y loroco?... ALL AMAZING! The rellenitos were delicious, too! Thank you for a great time, food, and friendly service!! Jessie”
“We had the Combo Vegetariano and the Boquitas Mixtas, which was also vegetarian. Our server told us what everything was, and it was all delicious. We highly recommend Las Delicias.”

“Cute, casual, hot and fresh food. The pupusa lunch is a great deal. Two hot fresh pupusa (my first time having them for $10. Remind me of fancy corn hot pocket. Fresh everything. Kind service.”
“Being a lover of pupusas, I had to give this place a try since it just opened. I went in at around 6:15pm and soon after it actually got pretty crowded. I made an order for take-out for 3 different pupusas: the chicken with cheese, the beans with cheese, and the revuelta (ground pork skin, beans, and cheese) along with their rellenitos (plantain dough balls stuffed with either sweet blended beans or a condensed milk style, I went with the condensed milk style) and to drink I had their horchata. The popusas come with curtido (Curtido is a Salvadoran cabbage slaw or relish made with finely shredded cabbage, red onion, carrot, oregano, and vinegar) along with a red and green sauce. The food is made to order. My take-out order did take roughly 20 minutes to prepare, so if you're in a particular hurry for a take-out order, make sure to call in ahead of time. I didn't mind at all, if anything it was a pleasant wait knowing that as soon as I placed my order, the staff got to work on making my order fresh! The chicken and cheese pupusa: it was a delicious shredded chicken. It appeared an orange-red color indicating that it is season in a possible tomato-based sauce, giving it a wonderful flavor. The bean and cheese pupusa: the beans are refried, have a wonderful taste, and pair well with the cheese. There's a satisfactory cheese pull if you rip it apart instead of cutting it with cutlery. 10/10 must try if you're vegetarian. The revuelta pupusa: very finely minced pork skin is added to the beans and cheese. The result is a flavorful, meaty, and scrumptious popusa. An overall must-have if you're a fan of pork! The curtido: I put this on top of each of my pupusas, the flavor literally pairs well with all of them and is one of my favorite slaws! The red sauce: tangy, tomato-ey and MILD!! Be generous adding this sauce to your popusas. The flavor is so pleasant and there is no worry of spiciness here. The green sauce: excellent flavor, medium spiciness on the pallette, but not overbearing. If you don't like any sort of spiciness, skip this one, but if you like the super spicy stuff, you might consider this pretty mild. The horchata: so much flavor! The taste is different from the typical Mexican horchata, which leads me to believe that this might be the Salvadoreña style. Taste it for yourself and see if you can taste the difference! The rellenitos: if you're a fan of plantains, you've gotta try these! Sweet, banana flavor throughout and the condensed milk filling was soooo good. The texture was soft and melt in your mouth! Perfect sweetness to end the meal! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere overall is quite family-kitchen vibed. I heard a staff member say that if they're busy, they'll stay open later than 7pm! See if you can swing by! In summary: super yummy food, and I'll be going back soon.”

“Stopped by for lunch. Was excited to see they had a vegetarian section on their menu. I had the vegetarian combo and it was delicious. It was my first time having pupusas. We stopped because we were in the area, but I would go out of my way to eat there again.”
