I am so surprised this place does not have 4-5 stars. The food is really good. And the people are very kind. It does help to know some Spanish but I do not personally mind. I go there a couple of times a week sometimes more.

Food is great! We had about 25-30 minutes wait for food. However, the food was fresh and asked always, very delicious.

Y le voy a pedir de favor a las personas que hablan mal del negocio que dejen de hablar por hablar. y felicidades al señor que emprendió con su negocio y le esta yendo bien . Que Dios lo bendiga siempre .

Look who’s in the house? The one and only Esteban Steven Escobar from Diversity News Magazine, along with a Thai lady friend, introducing her to Pupusas Express. 🌟 Today, Friday, June 22, 2024, I stopped for lunch at the very famous Pupusas Express, located at 7241 Sepulveda Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91405. 🌮 Despite the scorching 90-degree weather, we ate there and enjoyed three pupusas and three drinks: horchata, semilla, and mango. The pupusas were good but a bit small, and while the drinks were delicious, they were overpriced. For those who haven't tried Pupusas Express, I highly recommend it. The owner, Mr. Nelson, is a community hero who saved an elderly lady from being kicked out of her spot on Sepulveda and Sherman Way. His act of kindness went viral on social media. 🌸👮‍♂️ I was there to support this small business owner and will definitely be back to try more flavors. Pupusas Express is all about good food and community spirit. ❤️ Go try Pupusas Express and experience it for yourself! 🍴 #PupusasExpress #VanNuysEats #Foodie #CommunityHero #SupportLocal #DeliciousDrinks #TryNewThings #Pupusas #Horchata #Semilla #MangoMagic #FoodReview #MustTry #SmallBusinessSupport #CommunityFirst #Diversitynewsmagazineorg #Estebanstevenescobar

Cheap prices, personally I didn't like it at all! It was crowded and took a long time to get the food, I tried pupusas, chicharron, horchata, atol de elote, and a chicken sandwich. Sandwich was the worst 😫 a giant piece of dry chicken!!!! Awful 😖 😱

Don’t waste your money on this place!!!!!... Este lugar apesta, el servicio al cliente es terrible y hay una señora mayor que tiene muy mala actitud con las personas, parece que es la que vigila a los empleados, el Sr. Nelson dueño de este lugar debería tomar cartas en el asunto y no dejar su negocio en malas manos. Las pupusas son terribles, el curtido es asqueroso literalmente, parece repollo remojado en agua, no tiene ni una sola gota de vinagre, no tiene nada de sabor y la salsa sabe a lata, creo que ni siquiera eso hacen ahí. Definitivamente el peor lugar para comer pupusas, eso sin olvidar el atol de elote que es terrible, fue mi primera vez en este lugar y obviamente el último. Lamento mucho haber tirado a la basura mis $50 Dls en este lugar, el cual ha sido tan viral supuestamente por ser el mejor, pero esto no es así, no se dejen engañar y espero que dejen de hacer fama a lugares tan terribles para comer. No hay que creer mucho de lo que se dice en los videos virales. Sr. Nelson es una lástima que sus empleados digan que no pueden ofrecer un buen servicio al cliente porque hay mucha gente, porque eso fue lo que me contestaron cuando les cuestione el mal servicio.
