El Santaneco: Authentic Salvadoran Cuisine in South San Francisco

First off I never write reviews but this place was super amazing I called in a phone order. The guy taking the call was so nice and knowledgeable about their food. I got there he was super nice I wish I got his name . I was so nervous to try pupsas as I have tried so many places and they were not good at all but these ones baby were so delicious so I’m super happy I found this place and in same city I live in. Yeaaaaaa I will be goin here from now on .

Very good. I got a custom cheese, bean, loroco, and jalapeño which was supper cool and delicious. The salad was also sooooo good. Usually the salad at pupusa places are hit or miss. But the salad here was actually so good. Highly recommend.

Cool atmosphere, good service, exceptional food. My first time having pupusas and yuca and I’m definitely a fan now!

I don’t normally give 5 star ratings but feel this place deserves it. It’s a hidden gem in downtown South San Francisco that serves authentic, unpretentious Salvadoran (and Mexican) food. The pupusas (we had the ones with pork, cheese and beans) were absolutely delicious and inexpensive. They go well with the house coleslaw and the mild chili sauce. The Salvadoran enchiladas (more like tacos) were very good as well. The best part of this restaurant is the staff, who are warm, generous, and kind. They really make you feel this is neighborhood place. We will definitely return to sample more items on the menu.

Tried the cheese and jalapeno pupusas and they were very good. The burrito, flauta and enchilada were just ok. I would have preferred spicier. Service was friendly and food was served hot and fresh. Overall pretty good

Chill wednesday early evening 630-7pm. Music was bumpin. Futbol match was on tv. Food was great. Pupusas loroco y revuelta y platanos. Good stuff out here. Try it for yourself. It wont disappoint.

We let the owners order for us as it was our first El Salvadorian food experience. The atmosphere was festive and colorful, and the hospitality and customer service was top tier. Of course the food was amazing We’re coming back

First time I get to know of this restaurant thru my son.Ordered diff varieties of pappusas.It was scrumptious and very affordable and filling too.Tried the zucchini pappusas,a great option for vegetarians,but so yummy even for non veg people.The pappusas are very much in normal sizes and cheese is meltingI will recommend this place 100% for sure.You won't regret,that good. Very efficient and tasty.Want to try next time dine in experience.
