Review from Gil S.

Mariscada for $12 sounds expensive for an informal shack of a restaurant but when came, hoo boy. Half a crab, half a catfish, a pile of shrimp, random octopus tentacles, too many whole clams to count, deliciously seasoned, all in a thick fishy stew with all the bones, shells, heads, limes to squeeze and crab crackers, yellow crab stuff. As messy as a meal can get.
Tortilla chips were homemade. Chilli relleno was full of potatoes instead of cheese, tamale had green beans, pea and carrot rice was delicious...Salvadoran food must be like Mexican, only healthy.
Service was friendly but food took a long while to come, and not everything is explained or available in English.
Ensalada drink consists of canned juice with tiny little cubes of fresh apple and pinapple. Not gourmet but kind of fun. -

I had the plato tipico and boy was I stuffed. For $7.95 you can have a pupusa, yuca frita, pastel( meat and vegetables wrapped in a fried dough), curtido (vinegar doesn't over power,) chicharron, and an empanada. We're talkin about a feast here people.
Here's a list of other things they have:
Chilate Salvadoreno
Atole de Elote(corn), Pina (pineapple) and Shuco (has a bland taste, thats why its served with other flavorful foods)
Milk or bean empanadas
Chicken, rib, pork or pisque tamales
Fried yuca
Variety of soups
Meat pasteles
Turkey sandwiches..gah one of my favorites and reason to come back.
And the tortillas are handmade
Drinks:
Horchata, cebada and melon, ensalada de fruta (fruit salad,) tamarindo, arrayan and maranon
Milkshakes of strawberry, papaya, banana, zapote, mamey
They also sell turkeys and chicken for the Holidays. -

We're cruising along Mission looking for Pupusas and landed at Antojitos. I was disappointed about the service. The restaurant was empty and we was the only customer at that time and seems like they are not happy to see us customers. No one even say Hi and it took long for them to come to our table and take our order.
The Pupusas tasted completely like a plain flour or undercooked and I know that at least they did us a favor of not putting much salt on the sauce. My, its completely a disaster experience...
On the other hand, the bathroom was very clean!!!!! -

The only thing bad that i can say about this location is that they take a long time to bring your order. But it's worth the wait. I like the pupusas and the sopa the gallina, which it not the same as sopa de pollo. It's better.
i will go there today and get some pupusas. -

a small counter in the middle of the mall
unfortunately, their guanabana drink was just too milky and missing the fruit flavor.
maybe having pupusas in miami has spoiled it a bit for me in sf
while sf has superior mexican cuisine to miami, sf can't hold up to the latin places.
i think i'll look around some more. -

The pupusas and tamales are pretty fab here...and only $2 each. I had a loroco tamale that had an olive in it...that still had the pit in it, so be careful. You've been warned.

Went down Mission the otherday My dad saw this little whole in the wall place and wanted to try it( your dont argue with a 76 year old and a cain) The pupusas were pretty good they had flavor, my son who is a picky eater liked it and at the whole thing . Cool looking little spot looks like the type of place you would find near the beach in El Salvador. next that I am in the area I will go back

I went here with my friend once and tried their tamales. It was huge! and good not better than my mothers tamales lol but It was pretty good my friend had the pan con pavo and she loved it. Only bad thing is they do take a very long time to serve you but they are very friendly and funny.

fantastic place to just chill. the people who run this place are absolutely the friendliest! the length of time to bring out your order is a little long but they are building a new kitchen which may speed up the process. ill be back here to try more than the papusas (which in themselves were pretty decent). i just love to come back and give them my business because of the atmosphere they create in this shack like island and their ultra friendly staff. i feel like part of the family

The amazing pupusas here are definitely worth the long wait. I like to think that they take so long because they cook them fresh, but i didn't see if that was true or not. Anyhow, the service was friendly and, at $2/pupusa, it wasn't too pricey.
