Pupusas Cojute: Reviews & Ratings
This place was a very pleasant place to go to. Very basic straight to the point and I love just a traditional pupusa.
Soooo good. The location is a little unsanitary but the food is delicious. Some of the best pupusas I've ever had!
I ate a pupusa for the first time in my life at their First Friday stand and it was honestly life changing. If I could eat here everyday I would. Crispy cheesy chewy goodness. Also the pickled cabbage and salsa are on point and the prices are very fair. There is a reason their tiny stand always has the fattest line at First Friday.
I just had their food. I had one papusa revuelta and chicken tamal. The papusas were really good! It had so much flavor. The chicken tamal was good too but it was lacking in flavor a bit. I had some of the orange salsa. Be careful, as it has a little kick. It was really good though. 4 stars for great service and yummy papusas. I wish I had a picture to post, but I ate it all.... whomp whomp whomp. You'll have to come here to see for yourself!
I ordered take out, pupusas revueltas and pastelitos for the first time at this place. The pastelitos werefreaking delicious, the filling (potatoes and chicken and other stuff) was right on point on the seasoning. The hot salsa is spicy but mix it with the the mild sauce to your preference and ooh yes! The taste of the puposas here come very very close to the ones I feel taste the best from Los Molcajetes in ELA.

Family-owned and operated pupusa stand! Genuinely nice people who are dedicated to their work. The hot pupusas are delicious! They're sizable, crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. You've got your choices of filling - pork, chicken, bean and cheese, or pork with bean and cheese. The pickled cabbage slaw and salsa make a great addition to the meal. They also make great tamales wrapped in banana leaves. They've got a stand on Telegraph during Oakland's First Friday Art Murmur. Check them out!
