"Bicho’s opened in October and its extensive menu offers Mexican restaurant standards like huevos rancheros and chile relleno burritos alongside generational recipes from owner Josef Gonzalez’s Salvadoran family. First-time diners won’t go wrong with a two-pupusa plate, with filling options like pork or cheese and loroco. The pupusas, griddled hot with molten cheese, are complemented with tangy, pickled curtido, cheesy beans, and fluffy rice. Enjoy a Mexican-style horchata or try the cinnamon-y drink Salvadoran style, which uses dairy milk for a creamier taste." - Paolo Bicchieri

"It’s always a special day when more pupusas arrive in your area. Especially if the pupusas descend flanked by flautas, chile relleno, burritos, and tacos. Bicho’s comes from Bay Area-raised Josef Gonzalez, a first time-restaurateur looking to deepen the Rose City’s Salvadoran food. If that sounds good to you, start here." - Paolo Bicchieri

This place is such a hidden gem. It may not look like much, but the food here is phenomenally tasty. We had fast, courteous service, the place was clean and well kept, the music was loud enough to be heard but not so loud that you can't hear the person next to you. Highly recommend eating here and trying it for yourself. The grilled chicken quesadilla is delicious!

Super clean. Wish it was a little spicier in general. Loved the hot sauce. Would ask for extra next time. A little on the pricier side than what I'm used to for this sort of food but I think it's because they have super generous serving sizes. Definitely authentic from what little I know as a native Californian 🤣glad something like this opened up in the neighborhood. Chicken flautas ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - it's what you'd expect - but also well executed and not tremendously oily - crispy Chile rellenos ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - if you're vegetarian this will be amazing for you - really good flavor - not for me though because it isn't spicy enough Happy burrito with steak ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - would order without potatoes, they were undercooked this time - love the amount of hot sauce it comes with Cheese and chicken pupusas ⭐⭐⭐ - adore how flakey the outside was - super cheesy and amazing - don't love how there isn't any greens though, not a full meal for me

Bichos just opened on our street so we have been eager to try it. It was delicious! Kind and quick service. The food was tasty and not greasy at all. Their homemade hot sauce is the icing on the cake. Definitely will be coming back!

This place was great. Really good service, great pupusas, and tasty horchata. Folks working there were really nice and the restaurant seems like a nice place to sit and eat. We ordered for pickup but looking forward to spending more time there!

The food is super solid (get the platinos fritos!), the people are very nice (it's a family operation!), and you don't have to wait an hour (at least for now!). The papusa selection alone makes it worth it!

Foods were great! Portion wise was big. The highlight is the spicy sauce, it was rich & spicy 🥵, asian approved. Do give it a try and please get the spicy sauce, and when i say it’s spicy, it really is!
