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

Trying pupusas for the first time? Don't make these common mistakes! Pupusas are delicious savory pockets meant to be enjoyed with curtido, salsa, and your hands. Visit Lilian #2 Salvadoran Pupuseria for delicious Salvadoran pupusas and experience the best Latin flavor.
Pupusas, the thick, stuffed flatbreads hailing from El Salvador, are a staple of Latin cuisine, and slow cooking is essential to ensure the ingredients meld harmoniously. The cheese, beans, pork, or other fillings need time to melt and infuse their flavors into the masa (dough), and the exterior becomes perfectly crispy and golden brown while the interior remains soft.
