Highlights

Estrellita's Snacks is a second generation family owned Salvadoran food company specializing in Pupusas, Tamales, and Tostadas. The company was born in San Francisco's Mission District where Maria del Carmen who founded the business began selling her freshly fried plantain and yucca chips to local business owners and families that missed the taste and crunch of tostadas from El Salvador. Over the years Estrellita’s Snacks has grown and today our family runs the business together. We participate in a number of events around the city. You can find our farmer’s market stand at The Heart of the City on Wednesday in the civic center plaza. You can also enjoy our pupusas on Saturdays at the Alemany Farmers Market. Our chips are sold in stores up and down the Mission District. We offer our catering services all over the Bay Area and look forward to serving you at our new restaurant on 483 Ellis st. in San Francisco.

San Francisco’s Hottest New Restaurants, November 2024

"Estrellita’s Snacks built up a following through its years at local farmer’s markets and time in La Cocina’s incubator program, but now the pupusas are parked at 483 Ellis Street. Breakfast stans will want to order the all-star breakfast pupusa stuffed with chorizo, egg, and cheese, which comes with refried beans and plantains on the side. The mini taquitos dorados, six mini chicken taquitos served with cabbage salad on top, are another winner. Otherwise, it’s hard to go wrong with any of the offered pupusa flavors, plus, vegetarians have a number of clearly marked options, making it amenable to group meals." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria

The 7 Best Pupusas In SF

"After years of serving pupusas and other Salvadoran dishes at the Heart of the City Famers Market and the now-closed La Cocina Municipal Marketplace, Estrellita’s Snacks transitioned into a quick-service restaurant in the Tenderloin. Their grilled-to-order pupusas remain a constant, though, with over a dozen cheese-filled varieties, including pork, spinach, mushrooms, and our favorite, loroco. Palm-sized and served with a generous heap of curtido, the pupusas here make for a substantial snack. But if you’re looking for a full-on meal, opt for one of their platters that come with a couple of sides. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong

San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings

"Estrellita's Snacks closed last fall when the La Cocina food hall in the Tenderloin shut down. Luckily, they reopened down the street with a menu of Salvordean and Oaxacan dishes, including pupusas, tamales, yucca chips, and mole made from scratch. There's plenty of seating for their dine-in breakfast and lunch, but dinner is pick-up only. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1

Estrellita's Snacks Review - Tenderloin - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"After years of serving pupusas and other Salvadoran dishes at the Heart of the City Famers Market and the now-closed La Cocina Municipal Marketplace, Estrellita’s Snacks transitioned into a quick-service restaurant in the Tenderloin. Their grilled-to-order pupusas remain a constant, though, with over a dozen cheese-filled varieties, including pork, spinach, mushrooms, and our favorite, loroco. Palm-sized and served with a generous heap of curtido, the pupusas here make for a substantial snack. But if you’re looking for a full-on meal, opt for one of their platters. The breakfast pupusa platter comes with one of these masa pockets stuffed with chorizo, eggs, and cheese with fried plantains and refried beans on the side. At lunchtime, we like the plato pupusa with your choice of two pupusas and rice and beans. (If you arrive shortly after 11am when breakfast service ends, you can usually still ask for the breakfast pupusa.)" - Patrick Wong
