These reviews and low stars almost scared me away. Got 3 types of pupusas with extra curtido and salsa. I make dozens of these at a time at home so well versed in pupusas. I got a family pack and I proceeded to eat them all. They were delivered very hot and fresh. Very silky masa and they crisp them nicely. So moist. Great filling to masa ratio. Curtido and salsita was in point. Give this place a try! My only thing would be a lot more chile but that is not traditional and I am just Mexican lol…

Not to mention the packaging is very nice and they label the pupusas ordered so you dont have to guess which pupusa is which. This is…

I ordered from Just Pupusas, not knowing what to expect, seeing the mixed reviews. I tried the cheese pupusa.and the first thing I realized was the quality of the packaging. It made it simpler and cleaner to consume the pupusa. When I bit into it i also took in mind the quality of the masa. Thank you Just Pupusas for your dedication to your food.
