Opinions de Salva-Mex Houston
I love love this hole in the wall restaurant. They have the best breakfast tacos and pupusas. It’s super affordable and all fresh. They will even make it if they don’t have it.
OMG. I didn't speak the language, but I was hungry, the Carne Asada was soft and perfect. The beans had a carboned flavor, also perfect, the Coke was better than American coke. And the dessert cake thing was like a fresh Christmas box cookie, so fresh. I was amazed. I'm used to Corporate Mexican in Louisiana, this is the real deal.
Great customer service. They were extremely nice to all customers including myself. This place is a hole in the wall/Mom and pop shop with El Salvadoran and Mexican influences. All ingredients were fresh. Including the bread was freshly baked.

Food is always delicious here! We’ve added this place to our go to places now. They can take a bit long because they have a lot of to go orders. But if you call in before eating in they’ll start your order too to avoid the wait. Best pupusas in my side of town! And their Torta is one of our favorites in the area as well.
Excellent pupusas. If you are not patient or can't handle dry sense of humor not your place. Takes a while because they are hand made and take a while to cook.
Very good and delicious food, id advice to call in if you are doing take put, as evrything is made from scratch as far as alacarte items, which is not the options next to the register. Pupusas were scrumptious, alao yuca with chicharron was 🔥, freah and fried just right.
This place has the best Menudo, caldo de res, caldo de Pollo and their breakfast items are great! Don't expect to dine in a restaurant, but their humble dining area and honest service are both pleasant and their food packs a great satiation.
These place has good food, the pupusaa are made when u order them so they will take about 15 minutes so have patience, the only thing that gets me mad that they have their favorite customer, if they come in after you they take their order first before you
The pupusas are the best ones I have tried so far. I love them when there made fresh that my tongue burns which is worth it. Would come back more often!
This is a hole in the Wall, hidden gym type of place if you want quality pupusas that are made in house from scratch! Definitely worth trying if you haven't yet. Nobody does it like them and I highly recommend that you opt for their pupusas with chicken or any other protein, it is worth the wait! They are incredibly well priced, and are an excellent size. I love to eat big and save more, This is a great place to do that.
Very good people working there. Good service. Good prices 👍

Out of the 3 items I tried (fajita torta, fajita tacos & cheese pupusas) the pupusas were the best! Lots of cheese! The other two items didn't have much flavor.

Food is good! But some of those ladies are very rude. Been many times different encounters with different ladies.
Food is the absolute best! Pupusas are delicious and authentic. If only I didn’t have to brace myself each time to get treated like I am public enemy #1 each time I pick up food. I got stared down so hard right now like ma’am I just want my food.

The food is good. The place needs a lil update. Now, young lady that took our order seemed to have a "Don't want to be here attitude ", and it showed on her face. There was only one family seating in restaurant, so its not like she was busy. My father likes to go there, I would probably go back again ONLY if my father wants to.

pupusas are good but the ladies working here have terrible customer service skills. I live close by so always ordering from here when I crave pupusas. everytime I order to go via phone my food is never ready on time and there's a 50/50 chance they haven't even started on my order. a couple of times I've come in and asked for my order I placed on the phone and they have no record of the call. my phone records every phone call and I even played back the audio and they have the audacity to tell me I never placed the order. ridiculous. pupusas are good made fresh when you order.
Food was really good but the cashier (blonde hair) had the worsssttt attitude. One other younger girl that helped us was really nice though. Not coming back.

Roaches!! There were tiny roaches on the counter by the cashier. The cashier is infront of the kitchen so you can imagine. I dont care how good the food is, its a no for me.
I went to this restaurant with my Salvadoran co-worker for our lunch break. When I walked in the restaurant I felt like I was in the Jim Crow South. The cashier looked at me with disgust and made me felt VERY unwelcome! My co-worker noticed her smug attitude and told her in Spanish that he’s with me it’s alright. The racist lady didn’t look at or acknowledge me the whole while even when I paid for my order she didn’t say a word. A few days later another of my coworkers who is black said he was going to order from Salva-Mex I told him they don’t like black people order their food. When he came back with his food to the job site he told me that when he was in line to order a black truck driver was trying to order food from the racist servers they gave him a hard time by not answering he’s questions until he just walked out of the restaurant!!! If you’re black don’t go here!!!!
They will hang up on you if you call speaking ENGLISH. Happen to me several times. They'll answer, but if you start talking English, they'll say "No English, Spanish only!" then they'll hang up in your face. But hey..the foods ok. And they will get pissed off if you speak English, remember that.
Nice place to eat if your not of African-American heritage..... 3rd times a charm! I was here last week and the lady appeared to be angry with me for walking in the door to patronize the place. Did not speak to me/barely spoke when taking my order(I assumed it was the language thing). I took my food and left. Thought I'd give them another chance and went in today.... I stood in line patiently and when came my turn I stepped to the counter and w/o so much as looking at me she helped a guy behind me...then after ringing him up another person literally reaches over in front of me and hands her money for his order. Which she rang up again without so much as a look at me! As I'm looking at both of them I tell them in spanish that I was waiting here I'm next. To which she still did not reply to me but turned to a co-worker and said(in spanish) I don't know what he wants I only have 2 hands. I asked her if there was a problem with me being here I can leave, she said no and took my order all with out 1 apology!!! I ordered but left 30seconds later, definitely don't wanna eat where I'm not welcomed!!!
