Good food, fresh-made pupusas, cozy atmosphere

A different style of ordering and menu delivering this Mexican Salvadorian restaurant is definitely a place for authentic styles of breakfast from Latin American culture and American fusions.

I had platanos and tamales. They were delicious, the platanos serving was huge! I had them the next day for breakfast too. Quick and friendly service. Highly recommend

This is my new favorite restaurant in the area! Everything is delicious including the pupusas, chile relleno, and burritos. The pupusas are very affordable and all the other prices are reasonable.

My wife and I used to live in the Mission district 15 yrs ago, and this was our all-time favorite. The papusas are amazing and made right in front of you. We live in Seattle now and have yet to find another El Salvadorian place like this.

Great pupusas at a very cheap price. Cash only

This place was delicious. I was traveling and exploring this area and is in a part of San Francisco that looks a little sketchy. But as long as you're minding your own business you should be good. You do have to wait a little bit. Everything is done fresh. The only downside is that you can only pay cash. So make sure you bring cash.

La Santaneca’s Cheese Pupusas are appetizing. Their Chuletas de Puerco and Maranon drink make a well rounded meal. Pleasant ambience and attentive staff.

The Pupusas were amazing and the Yucca Frita too. Definitely going back again..

I was first introduced to this spot five to six years ago, and through the years it’s left quite an impression. Being of Salvadoran descent and having tried out different spots across the Bay, La Santaneca is the hands down the best pupusas place I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. The flavor and love put into these pupusas (in my case bean and cheese w/ rice flour) are incomparable. Know in advance that the restaurant is cash only, and that wait times are a little longer to ensure that perfect taste.

My favorite restaurant for popusas! Great taste, amazing service. Sometimes you have to wait a bit to be seated, but it’s definitely worth it. And it’s very affordable.

As we walked to an old neighborhood familiar with my host and friend Mauricio, we shared anecdotal stories of growing up in the Mission. It's been around for some time, and if they've changed anything It's mostly some of the service staff. But their recipe and their flavors are constant and predictively good. If you enjoy pupusas, they have a nice plate that gives you all that you might want, including rice and beans! Come enjoy the flavors of El Salvador and come prepared to eat plenty because they have nice portions, and you won't settle for just 2. #TheBrokerWithAHeart

The food is good but the pupusas are the best really tasty! Extremely pricey for salvadorean food, and they only accept CASH. Good customer service.

We were actually trying to go to another place down the road which was closed and saw a queue outside this place so we stood in the queue to see what the big deal was. The food was amazing. Very simple and wholesome. I tried Pupusas ( cheese and beans) here for the first time and loved it. Also ordered chicken burrito (which I didn't like too much, but then I generally don't like rice in the burrito anyway and there was too much rice in there for me). Also ordered chicken with onion and loved that. Do try the tamarindo. Will definitely be going back when I'm in SF.

We were there yesterday and noticed the cheese in the pupusas has changed, I cannot explain but I had a weird flavor and texture, not a pleasant one. Really disappointing and I cannot believe I was the only one who noticed. luckily there are other salvadorean restaurants 1block away in each direction.

Mexican enchilada: rice and beans were a little bland and an unexpected version of an enchilada. The beef was really tasty though

We order a variety of salvadorean dishes and were a bit disappointed with them. their yuca was too dry and their curtido that looked like a Salas and salsa too watery their pupusas were the only thing that kind of made up for the rest but dislike the idea of being served pupusas with beans 👎 their nuegados were a fiasco not authentic Salvadorean food not planning on going back to this place again
