      Love El Paisano!!!
      Food is consistently good between each location.

      Pupusas are great but the hidden gems for me are the gorditas and street tacos!

      I ordered Menudo from where. I must say it was pretty good. The homemade corn tortillas were off the hook, absolutely delicious!
      I have ordered calabaza Pupusas and actually have had others and I have been 100% satisfied.
      I enjoy having fresh hot food with delicious flavor. Try it...

      We tried this place for lunch on our way through Reno. I love pupusas and these were pretty good. Honestly the zucchini one was my favorite, their cheese and zucchini blend was delicious. I wasn't as big a fan of the chicken or pork versions. Still tasty but I wanted a little more flavor in the meat. The coleslaw topping was good and the medium salsa verde was a great accent.

      I really like the price, $10 for three pupusas. Service was a bit nonchalant without much interaction. Still, if you've never had a pupusa, give the cheese or zucchini a try for a great introduction to a great food.

      I would come back to try some different menu items and see if I just picked the wrong ones today.

      This taqueria and Pupuseria was outstanding !!

      I couldn't make up my mind for what I wanted so I had one of each... almost :-)

      I had a tacos platter, came with three tacos, I had carnitas, chicken and Al pastor tacos, comes with a side of rice and refried beans. The tacos well very good and the rice and beans were really good as well.

      Also had a side of sweet plantains and it comes with refried beans and some sour cream. Never had my sweet plantains with sour cream and it was a very good mix. I'm hooked.

      For the pupusa, I had a chicken filled pupusa and it was really good !!

      I washed everything down with a tall orchata which was great as well.

      This place is decent size but very busy, we were greeted promptly and even though it was super busy our order was taken quickly and our food came out quickly.

      Definitely will be visiting many times and recommend to everyone.

      I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I had the taco platter (carnitas, chicken & Al Pastor) platanos fritos, and pupusa filled with chicharrón (pork).
      Everything had great seasoning and flavor. The service was pretty quick. It's a small place but they seem to be pretty busy and I can see why. I look forward to going again and trying some other items. Many seem delicious!

      Such good pupusas! This is the perfect spot for a cheap and tasty lunch, they have a bunch of salsas and sides to add to whatever you order and the pupusas are fresh! Can't recommend this place enough and planning on coming back to try everything else they have to offer

      BEST PUPUSAS IN TOWN. This place is right next door to my climbing gym which is dangerous! LOL the food is phenomenal!
      If you are looking for some pupusas, look no further, they have the best recipe in town. Seriously, try to prove me wrong.... I dare you. You'll end up with a new favorite pupuseria!
      Convenient location and friendly staff too! Highly recommend the habanero pupusas! YUM

      Inconsistent hours. Good food, but it's hard to get it when they're closed all the time.

      Closed at 8pm this day I went!
