El Contrapàs

Delicious! The pupusas are HUGE (see credit card for size) and are freshly made. It's a casual restaurant but the experience can be like a sit-down restaurant. Your food is brought out to you and they clear the tables as well. Go for the queso and loroco pupusa which have flower buds that taste a bit like cactus. The horchata is great too.

Great spot! Large and well stuffed pupusas that are made fresh! Really good platanos fritos.

I love all the food from this place. The problem is that I can't decide what to order because everything taste so good!

One of the best pupusas and tamales I have ever eaten. Love it!

I give them a five because Salvadorian food is it's own flavors. You know what I mean, they have the flavors. But also, they make their papusas fresh to order. I know this because I can't eat dairy so I asked him what kind they have... He must get asked that a lot because he had a long pointer stick by the wall and whipped it out and started pointing to the menu above the register on the wall 😄 basically you can order any combination of ingredients. So I got a bean and zucchini one. It was so good. It comes with a sauce that tastes kind of like the juice we make Mexican rice with, but I loved it. And also the slaw they give to put on it. I'd def eat that same thing again. I also got a rice and bean burrito. I like getting simple things places because I feel like if they can do simple dishes flavorfully, then they know their stuff. And the burrito was good. I'll go there again for sure.

I got the carne asada plate here and it was some of the best carne asada I've ever had. Meat had a rich beef flavor, perfectly cooked, extremely tender, juicy, and well seasoned. I have also tried the quesadilla and hot chocolate, both of which were very good.

Really good pupusas here. The cabbage that comes with it is also really solid. Tables lowkey could use a wipe down but otherwise good spot.

My first experience eating food from El Salvador was excellent. I ordered Sopa de Gallina India, pupusas (spinach and mushrooms), and plantanos fritos, and everything was delicious. Will definitely return. I can't add photos because everything was eaten.

Really good, freshly made pupusas served with curtido and salsa

Delicious and freshly made. Good service. A nice sized menu but I was focused on the pupusas which did not disappoint. Looks like they are encouraging take out as most tables had chairs pulled up on them when I visited during dinner hours. I'll definitely come again

I was a little surprised that my friend fish lunch was a whole fish but it was delicious!

I've only had their pupusas, which are amazing. Packed full of flavor, impecapable timing on the grill, generous portion of curtido. No frills, just this amazing food. The place is clean, people are friendly, and there's always a table or two dining there at any given time, which goes to show their popularity. Pricing is good for this quality. Overall I do recommend this place. Nothing fancy but still a nice small treat.

the food is good but they raised the prices too much

Salvadoran small dine. Stopped by to check out the Pupusas. Made hot to order. Tasty carnitas flavor and seasoned just nice. Came with a bag of pickled cabbage and side of salsa. This is old school venu. Will try their lunch before my contract is up across the street. As always, post wherever your journey takes you. Other wise, why be boring.

Mediocre service. Wait was long for three pupusas and a coffee. Server kept chatting very loudly with a visitor. Very annoying. To add insult to injury there was a piece of rubber band in the chicharrón. Soap was also empty in the bathroom.

I’ve been coming here for years. The food is good. I’ve found hair in my meal 3 times in the last 2 years, so not so bad...You must allow a minimum of 30min in waiting time, no matter what time of day you order in person or over the phone. I bypassed this on lunch break at work by ordering in advance since I only have an hour. These days I’m lucky if I can get someone to pick up the phone. They are super busy. So much that even with an advance order I am still left waiting 20minutes for an order I placed 40min in advance. It’s good for every now in then when I have time to spare and don’t mind the wait. Most days I go elsewhere. Lately, these people do not pick up the phone. No matter what day or time you call- it’s impossible to place an order in advance over the phone, they don’t use any platforms for ordering pickup or delivery, and it’s always a long wait in person. Not worth it anymore. I know get my pupusas from a food truck.

The receptionist is very rude. There is a menu above the counter we ordered their specialty #1 and guess what she says, I don't know what the #1 menu is. She said the verbiage exactly like that with a shout. My husband just place the order, but mannnnn if I was there when she said that I would have pulled her out of her comfort zone behind the counter to show her the company menu. We drove all the way from Mountain View to come to a this place to try their advertised Pupusa. Bad bad badly human beings behind the counter.

I wanted to try a new Salvadoran restaurant in the area, and went to Cipotes. I ordered pupusa Revueltas that fell short of our expectations. They ratio of meat to dough was not good. Almost $5 for one would leave you expecting to have a meat filled pupusa, but no. I wouldn’t come here again. Customer service was okay, restaurant was nice, and they were friendly.. food fell short.
