Sonia Sanchez: My favorite arepa is the Pabellon - shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans with queso fresco....It's Delicious!!!!
Arianne Krekeler: Get the shredded beef pabellón if you're looking for a classic dish, you also can't go wrong with yuca fries!

Eunos Rakune: If you ever want something thats not on the menu, just ask for it! (within reason). Want spicy vegetables with noodles? no problem, Chicken and JUST broccoli, spicy? Easy! They can do anything :)
Loren L: Lily is the sweetest woman ever. She remembered me after 2 years! Food is great here, get the Mongolian beef with rice.
Dominic T.: Credit card minimum is $10
Alex Dobyan: Absolutely the most amazing pupusas of my life. Get one of the combos, you won't regret it (need a lil side of beans with these bad boys).
Matthew Joseph: I highly recommend "pupusas con loroco y queso" (pupusas with loroco flower and cheese). Don't be afraid; loroco "flower" is just a kind of green veggie--they pick the blossoms before they bloom.
AskMen: The Salvadorean papusas at the bare bones 16th Street location are the best in the Mission. A papusa is a thick corn tortilla stuffed with pork, cheese or beans, sounds great to us.
