Restaurante-Pupusería Ilobasco

Pupusas are delicious, great friendly place

Great is the best way to explain. That's it

Soooo yummy and cozy vibes

Love it the food is good

Legit. Cash only.

The pupusas are amazing! Great service! Really clean. Parking is a bit hard. So keep in mind.

Quick, excellent service great atmosphere and enjoy the music and the food is served your way and large enough that you can share any entre !

This is a great safe way to shop at very safe secure and the people are nice I mean all of the people are nice good area on outskirts of Richmond very peaceful and tranquil

This place is great! Got a cheese pupusa and a cheese and pork mixed inside. Both came with pickled cabbage. Tortilla chips with salsa included. We also ordered guacamole. Soooo, good! Xtra large pupusas are $4.50 each.

CASH ONLY! Anytime we're in the area (San Bruno Ave) this is a must stop for some pupusas. The only other thing I've tried on the menu is especial (fried) chicken wings which are decent. Pupusas are the family fave (chicken and cheese). Super reasonable prices too.

Well I came in about 12:40. The place was empty. I ordered pupusas revueltas and tamal salvadoreño. Today they did not have the Regia beer that I love, but Pacifico is okay. Pupusas are great with Curtido and salsa. Authentic taste is so satisfying, reminds me of grandma's cooking. Tamales were delicious and fresh. The dining room was empty but I saw people come in and order to go. I ate so fast it was soooo yummy. Oh yes I almost forgot, it's cash only!

the service was awesome and the pupusas were delicious, came to eat here after attending the Grease movie sing along even at jerry garcia amphitheater and we wanted something good to eat and this place did not disappoint. Venimos a comer despues de atender un evento en jerry garcia amfiteatro. el servicio excelente y las pupusas deliciosas.

every thing is great i love it👌🏽⭐️

This is a great spot to eat Salvadoran food. Clean tables, nice and polite workers, usually the owner welcomes you, and always have a smile for you. Price is right Menu with a lot of options. Mini bar with a few selection of beers. Sports playing on the TVs make you enjoy more of the food

This place is great and affordable, the service is friendly too. I come whenever I’m in the area. The best thing to order is the pupusas.

Good pupusas, a little small but tasty

Good food the carne asada is my favorite

The food was good

Friendly, unpretentious place to fill your belly with delicious Salvadorian pupusas, platanos, frijoles and fried cheese (of "friend" cheese as the menu says) while watching the fútbol.

Decent pupusa and salsa. I was not a big fan of their tamales though. Update: their Sopa de papa ( Salvadoran version of menudo) was super good- must try if you are into tripe soup!

Really authentic El Salvadoran cuisine, you absolutely want to have pupusas here. Whether you choose the zucchini pupusas or the pork & cheese or bean & cheese (or all of them!) they're made fresh to order and served with a side of cabbage salad. The price can't be beat. And the retro look of the restaurant is just awesome -- so much to see and experience while dining here!

Delicious pupusas and yucca fritas. Pickled cabbage slaw and red sauce were excellent.

The sopa de caldo and pupusa are very delicious. The prices are just a little higher than most.

Pretty good place to eat

They have 3 gaming style machines in the rear of this restaurant I’m sure it could be argued that they are slot machines but I’m sure that it could be argued they are just for entertainment either way I didn’t win any money so they get 3 stars but the food smelled good so there’s that.

Love their breakfast plate, which comes with scramble eggs (you should ask for Salvadoran style which comes with veggies) refried beans, fried plantains and hand made tortillas, and you can get it at any time day or night. I also like their fried corn tamale. Their pupusas are ok and I usually order cheese with zucchini. I come here from time to time cause they close until 11pm which is rear for a Salvadoran restaurant to close that late. The place is at times way too loud cause their music takes over the whole place and to have a conversation you need to be louder than usual. Also the place is not as dirty but their bathroom I will use only for emergencies. The area is parking meter only, but since I usually go in the night is free.

Ordered wrong food without apologize. Food is ok，need to improve service quality.

Not worth the money to to expensive greasy food

Pupusas are meh . Small and not enough filling in them so kind of dry. The jukebox is $1 per song for old music or $2 per for new. Service is friendly and attentive but I don't want to watch almost naked women on tv while Im dining. The restaurant seems to double as a bar for lonely men who are just sitting around drinking beer in the stool section. Not enjoyable.

The waitress would not stop touching my 19 month old and being by the front door means anyone coming in wants to also touch my child. What was not in the front was their "cash only" sign. There were a few inappropriate pictures and figures of women around for some reason. Their pupusa options were really limited and already mixed together so one couldn't order just a bean or just a chicharron with beans unfortunately. I had little cash so only got to order a warm corn soup and their empanadas de crema which were both good. The lady I was with was eat something with chicken that looked good too. A lot of people kept coming in so the food must be good-worth a try in if the neighborhood and you have cash.

Food is okay they just overprice if your not hispanic im guessing. A plate was 14.95 on the sign inside and i ended up paying 17.90 and they are cash only

They need to clearly state they only take cash when we place the order over the phone and on there website

Hi, you need to update your hours on the website I came all the way here and it’s close

This place was not good never will I go back

They open at 12 pm not 11 am 😢😢

I've officially had the worst pupusas at this restaurant! The food here is truly disappointing. I would not recommend for a dog. The service was ok. Again, worst pupusas ever!

Went there for the first time the servers are moody. I ordered take out. Then they were charging me 2x what my order was. The server was insisting that is what I ordered so I asked for the menu again. My bill was supposedley $16.00 not $24.00. So as it turned out she was giving someone elses' check. I got home excited to eat my yuca con chicharon fritas. 4 small pieces of chicharones and 4 pieces of yuca. My 2 pupsas are ok. But what killed me was the vegetable cortido no tastes and half way my food found 2 curly hair I hate to imagine where they came from. Sums it to say not going there anymore. 😒😒😒😒

The place hot and no fans. The server doesn't understand English, and he messed up our order. My sister ordered two tamales, and the server decided he only wanted to give her one even though the menu said two per order. I ordered a banana shake, and he decided to add berries to my banana shake. If you are in customer service, please be able to speak English as well, especially in a restaurant setting.

I walked in yesterday afternoon to place an order for take out. No one was in there as usual. Two ladies who work at the place were talking to another woman. As I waited for one of the ladies to wslk over to ask me "can I help you" all three looked at me and continued their conversation. How rude. You would think they would ask can I help you. Instead, they ignored me and so I said later. Mr. Owner to Iloasco, just thought you should know who works for you.
