“ Their pupusas are HELLA good... end of story... I'm seeing some reviews rate them lower - stick to the pupusas apparently?? My homeboy really likes their steak burritos if that means anything... Mine were so steaming hot I burned myself - I got 1 revuelta, 1 bean and cheese and another 1 I'm not remembering (my bad), but all of them were really good, the revuelta being my favorite. The salsa didn't do it for me, but the pupusas are so tasty you don't really need the salsa, their curtido is solid as well. Nothing to report on the service - I got mine to go. It was kind of tricky ordering as the lady who took my order didn't speak English well, but a game of charades got the job done lol. :-) ”
“ Delicious pupusas, burritos too! Every time I order they are very friendly and the food is done pretty quickly! Also the empanadas are SO GOOD ”
“ If you are looking for pupusas and menudo, you are at the right place. We've only ordered to-go and that's fine because parking there is a bit of a nightmare. Anyway, the pupusas are average size, not too big, but they're really good. They come with tons of curtido and salsita for drenching! Good for a quick pupusa fix in the area. ”
“ Still one of the best Pupusas in the area!!! Had a makeshift Pupusa-Taco! Hella good!!! ”
“ A staple in the Richmond area. And usual go to spot for pupusas. I ordered 4 pupusas revueltas and the taste did not fail. These pupusas are very tasty and decent sizing in comparison to other places. A downside though Is the price. Nearly $4 each after tax a quick meal turns into $20 with a drink. Is it worth the $4? I can say it is if they're made correctly and are filled with cheese and chicharron. In this occasion, I would recommend this restaurant to others but would have to think again to come back since it is on the pricier side of pupusas. Other than that the taste and sizing is very good and I'd say people should give it a try. ”
“ My family has been coming here since we moved to the East Bay, missing the pupusa s we had on SF. This little gem is on point good food . Salvadorian and Mexican food the Pupusas are nice with plenty of filling. The Chilie verde is the bomb Homemade tortillas with your plate food the people are so nice ”
“ Been coming here for years and have definitely noticed the changes in quality and taste as time passed -- regardless, this is one of the local gems Richmond/San Pablo. It's conveniently nestled along 23rd Street, a radiant hub of culture, especially for the Latinx community. As an Asian person growing up in the area, I felt like a good amount of cultural food exchange and learning came from 23rd, including at restaurants such as El Sitio. The quality of food here was superior when I was in high school about 8-10 years ago, but I still come along here or La Bamba for a satisfying pupusa fix, even now in my mid 20s. I like simplicity in my pupusas, especially when I order las pupusas de queso y chicharron. They served hot with flavor and are abundant and affordable. I personally enjoy eating in the restaurant during the late mornings right before lunch, just because all the times I've been there around this time has been busy yet calm (as in, a very comfortable hustle and bustle but not overwhelming). Staff work quite quick here, and there's a good selection of drinks to choose from to add to a meal (Jarritos, horchata, etc.) I'd definitely recommend El Sitio to folks visiting the area! This place offers a nice little touch of community, and continues to carry out its business pretty well even amidst the pandemic! ”
