Had a wonderful dinner tonight!! Prices were very reasonable and everything was DELICIOUS! We had two tacos, two pupusas, and a torta. It was plenty of food for two people! They were sadly short staffed but the servers were excellent and very kind.
This place was great. I went with 2 friends from work for a moment away from the office and was pleasantly surprised by the Peruvian flavor.
The complimentarychips were really crispy and salted just enough, and they came with what seemed like an extremely watery salsa to dip them in. At first, it se
Absolutely heavenly food. I've had both the chimichanga and steak torta sandwich. Both were excellent. Not to mention the prices for the meals are really good. Will be going back many many times.
Food was very good. Went there on a whim based on Google's reviews and it was a pleasant surprise.
Would recommend in a heartbeat.
Only -ve was the wait time for the food to arrive, took about 40minutes..
Place has a small cozy atmosphere.
Good tacos. That salsa though!! They need to bottle it. It's so good.
When you sit down ask for a couple of servings of it because you'll run out with your chips.
The salsa verde and the salsa roja that came with the tacos were just ok.
Went for lunch with a friend, this place is your stereotypical hole in the wall. Unassuming building, stellar food, they had the best salsa & chips I've had since Pescado's in Midlothian closed due to the pandemic. I could've pigged out on those but I still had lunch to eat, so onto the main course.
Great. Service. Very attentive friendly . Chips are free .very good atmosphere
Very busy. Burritos are very tasty get the burrito
The pupusas. Have very good taste but. It’s more like fried cheese very delicious very small. Way small pupusas again. They delicious. You will. Need about 8 pupus
Love the Pupusas. Steak torta is to die for. Locally owned, can’t say enough good things about this place. Definitely a local gem.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond. Every time we've been there (which is probably over 20 times) the food has been incredible. I could eat my weight in papusas and don't even get me started on the torta El pastor 🫠. It's a low key place, no frills, and an excellent price point.
Pretty authentic!!!
I'm originally from sf, and there were a lot of restaurants I frequent when I want pupusas. When I came to Virginia, I thought I would find anything good until I came here! The pupusas from El Pope were of the same quality as to ones I would get in sf! The salsa roja was on point
The food is delicious and affordable. No matter what you do, GET THE YUCCA FRIES! my personal favorite pupusa is the shrimp and cheese. Food takes a little longer but it’s always fresh and comes out hot. The guys who work here are also super nice!
Very delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Just one FOH member and one BOH so service is a bit on the slow side. Took a longer lunch break but that’s just fine. Carnitas, chicken adobo, regular pupusa, and El Pope rolls. All were very tasty. I especially enjoyed the rolls. Super surprising taste a
We stopped by at brunch time and even though theres not a specific brunch menu, we were pretty happy with our pupusas (zucchini and cheese, and potato and cheese) and veggie sopaipilla. Instead of chips they brought out fried plantains to snack on while we waited for our food and they came with a sl
Food is so good! We go here a lot and the restaurant is always clean and organized and the food comes out fast! One of our favorite places to go for lunch in the Fan.
I absolutely love this place. This is a hidden gem in The Fan in Richmond. The owner is the chef and creates everything from scratch. The pupusas are gluten free and they are very accommodating to special requests. If you get a chance always try the pupusas. It's a great indicator of how authentic a
5 stars, every time. The papusas and curtito are the best I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten about 1/2 of the menu now and everything has been worth having again.
Stumbled across this place in search of brunch and I’m glad I did. Really some of the best food I’ve had in Richmond and all for a really good price. 100% recommend going.
Excellent all around experience. Friendly service, the waiter was very personable without being overbearing. Straight forward menu. We got pupusas, a sopapilla, and half of a chicken sandwich (forgot the exact term). Everything did not take long to come out and was overall stellar. Will be back, hig
I picked up brunch today; delicious! I had the shrimp and cheese, and bean and cheese pupusas. They are thick, yummy griddle cakes. The service was excellent; friendly and prompt. I will be sure to return soon.
