Our Story: Authentic Salvadoran Roots

Lilian #2 Salvadoran Pupuseria is a family-owned and operated restaurant dedicated to preserving the rich culinary traditions of El Salvador. Our journey began in Danbury, where we built a strong reputation for quality and flavor. Today, we are proud to continue that legacy in Bethel, serving the local community and surrounding areas from our welcoming new location with the same dedication we’ve had since day one.

What our customers are saying

AUTHENTIC & AMAZING

"Had dinner there the other night, and all of the food was great. We got the fried chicken and pupusas. Not only were the main dishes great, but the side dishes - rice, beans, macaroni salads, fresh tortillas, and cabbage salad - were all excellent as well, and the portions were extremely generous for the price. Looking forward to taking a trip back."

- J.D. Hill

Curtido is a lightly fermented cabbage slaw that perfectly balances the richness of pupusas, a cornerstone of Salvadoran cuisine. Made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and oregano in a vinegar-based dressing, curtido's tangy flavor and crisp texture provide a refreshing contrast. Enjoy this essential complement to pupusas at Pupusería Salvadoreña Lilian #2, where we're passionate about sharing authentic Salvadoran flavors through catering and delivery.
