The Best Restaurants in Sacramento, Roseville, and Elk Grove | Eater SF

"Is anyone ever not, to some degree, in the mood for melty, meaty goodness stuffed inside a pillowy disc of lightly fried masa? As pupusas, the popular Salvadoran dish, claim more space in the American food landscape, now is as good a time as any to pay a visit to Las Palmas in South Sacramento. Like the best-kept secrets of many cities’ restaurant scenes, it’s hidden in a strip mall, and while the restaurant hasn’t posted to its Instagram page since September 2020, its high-quality pupusas prove that word of mouth really can carry a business. For the newly initiated, start with a pupusa revuelta, which has refried beans, crunchy chicharrones, and gooey cheese inside, and a queso con loroco, with cheese and an herb commonly grown across Central America." - Tamerra Griffin

First time coming here, I mentioned to the cashier that I been to another place where unfortunately they made mine super greasy so I have not eaten any ever since (over a year) but wanted to give it another try, and let me tell you they did not disappoint! They were so delicious!!! Omg so so good! Fresh and definitely not greasy at all! And I’m not a big fan of the cabbage 🥬 but definitely like this one😝😋😋 will definitely be coming back for some more..

Whole in the wall. Great people who run this place. Super friendly and gave us perfect service. Amazing food as well. Recommend getting the number 5 with a plate of rice, frijoles refritos and two pupusas. Really recommend getting the pupusa con queso y chicharron.

Small bakery with BIG flavor. I had the jalapeño and cheese papusas, chicharron and queso Papusas and quesadilla pan. Thick and hearty, fresh and hot. Definitely a new favorite spot

This place has been here forever and has so many great memories sometimes when places are open so long they loss the original taste but not here I had a Papusa that tasted just as good as it did 10 years ago. Very good family business.

This place is cheap. If you order pupusas they will only give you enough cortido for 1/3 of your order. And charge you 3 dollars for half a sandwich bag. Lol very sad, not sure how the owner can call himself successful. We ordered 30 pupusas. Nothing about this place is grateful for it's customers. Never again.

Took me back to a restaurant on central America. My girlfriend enjoyed some of her native dishes and commented that the taste was on point. They also had a verity of imported drinks from central America that were an added treat.

We got the pork, bean, & cheese pupusas and they were amazing! I could eat the curtido on everything. Beans and rice were also tasty. Great deal for the 2 pupusa combo!

Just tried the pupusas after hearing about this place from some coworkers and it did not disappoint. Laura was very friendly and made great recommendations. She gave us a sample of their made-from-scratch horchata, and it was delicious and refreshing. We had the two pupusas plate with the Revuelta (cheese+pork+beans) and the queso con loroco (cheese+fernaldia pandurate plant). They were amazing. So glad we found a delicious Salvadoran food bakery and restaurant so close to us. I love that they proudly have snacks and drinks from El Salvador as well as a beautiful painting of the country and the states. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu!

Las Palmas has been on my radar (aka my Yelp "Want To Try" collection) for months. This past week, I stopped by for lunch, and ordered three pupusas. Three was actually wayyy too many. Oh my gosh. If you are a female thinking about ordering three pupusas for yourself, don't do it. Trust me. Two is enough. One might even be enough, depending on your appetite/lifestyle. Apparently, my eyes were feeling much larger than my stomach, so, I ordered one each of queso con frijol, queso con jalapeno, y revueltas (pork and beans). Best pupusas I've ever had in my life. Hands down. The woman running everything, who seemed to probably be the owner, was super friendly to everyone. I noticed her asking other people in Spanish if they wanted more salsa or tortillas, and, when my food came, she asked me the same questions in English. Since I asked for my order to-go, the salsa and cabbage were served in plastic baggies. This was a little bit messy, but, honestly, I would rather have a decent amount of salsa in a little baggy than have to mess with like seven plastic ramekins. The salsa and cabbage mix were both so bomb. Five stars for those alone. I ended up picking off pieces of my pupusas and just drenching them in salsa. Dining in would have definitely been a smarter option-- good thing I always have wet wipes with me, because they were necessary. As to the pupusas, I was surprised by which one was my favorite versus least favorite, because it was exactly the opposite of what I expected. My favorite was definitely the revueltas, then the queso con frijol, then the queso con jalapeno. It may have been partially because I ate the revueltas first, when the tortilla was still the most hot and fresh. By the time I got to the jalapeno, it was getting cold. I've never had pupusas this fresh. The homemade soft tortilla shells were falling apart in my hands as I ate. All of the fillings were so flavorful and amazing. My sister called me while I was eating them and I asked, "Have you ever had a pupusa?" "No, what's that?" "It's like.... like the calzone version of a taco. It's taco fillings, but stuffed inside of a soft tortilla shell." (A pupusa is to a taco as a calzone is to a slice of pizza.) Best pupusas ever, and the price was not bad. The proportions were generous considering the price, as opposed to most taco shops. Would definitely eat here again.

Of the pupusa place in South Sac, this is the spot to go. Though same owners as the one in Stockton, the Mack Road spot for me is the one. If i recommend a Pupusa spot to someone, i refer them to Las Palmas on Mack. The pupusa de chicharron you can actually taste the chicharron. The flavor, texture is to die for. Yuca and Chicharron is another dish you cant miss out on. Recommended. The store is small, but it has a good vibe and the employees are super nice. Enjoy talking to them when i go. Oh yea, dont walk out without purchasing some Semita bread and quesadilla

What a new hidden gem I have found! This was my first time here, but I was not treated that way. I was welcomed the moment I stepped in the door. The inside may be small, but what is inside is mighty. I went in for Pupusas and came out with so much more. Thank you, Laura, for sharing about how the restaurant started and the influence of your father. It is apparent that he was loved by many, and his legacy lives on! Now to the food. I ordered 5 Pupusas, quesadilla bread, and horchata to go. I also bought a big bag of red beans for my spouse to cook. When I got home, we dug into the Pupusas, and I was pleasantly surprised. They were so big and steaming hot. I shared the bean and cheese and cheese and chicken with my husband. We had all the toppings too, which came in a plastic bag. Love the old school charm. They were really good! I will definitely be back to try the other breads. The quesadilla bread was yummy. It was like cornbread with a hint of cheese. The horchata was tasty with a nutty sweet flavor. I tell you, this is a spot worth trying. Also, they have a sit-down restaurant with a full menu. I know I will have to try there next.

The pupusas are fresh and full of flavor. They pretty much are made to order. It's a small place not intended to sit and eat but people do. That's just my opinion. Great food and good service.

Shout out the Quesadilla! Everything is so good, but sometimes I just be coming to get the Quesadilla, it's like cornbread but boyyyy it's so much more! Family recipe and it has like 4 cheeses in it but don't taste like cheese! Bless yourself and come get one! Or two or three! The family is awesome just like the food! 100/10 would recommend!

I was excited to have pupusas and wanted to support a local business. The service was awful. Staff was super rude. Ignored me for several minutes while I waited patiently to order. Talked to other patrons with no problem. Honestly I felt like was the mixed white girl being forced to wait. Ordered 2 pupusas. Took 30 min. Tasted fine but I felt super uncomfortable there. Now I get them at Vida

Super yum pupusas. Definitely better than the one on Stockton Blvd. They're not cheap with the fillings by any means and the food is very flavorful. Will definitely be coming back. The lady who took my order was very nice and kind.

Las Palmas has been part of South Sacramento for over 20 years. Very generous and giving family towards the local community. Pupusas are fire. The cabbage salsa is always on point. Pupusas are always hot fresh and consistent. Thank you Laura for the wonderful service.

Family owned and oh so friendly! We went for lunch because we were craving pupusas and they didn't disappoint. They had so many choices of filling so there is something for everyone! The gal working was very friendly and we had great conversations with her. They also have some grocery and bakery items for sale.

Best Pupusas in South Sacramento. I've tried Pupusas at other restaurants and I have to say these are the best. If you enjoy great food theirs is a must try!

Uhmmm it's a unique cuisine! Great non alcoholic drinks sush as cantaloupe drink, ( they serve beers too) Horchatas, pineapple and delicious exotic drinks from Latin America.. plus best place for Latin breakfast.. " las palmas plate" with carne asada it's a brunch instead a breakfast! If your vegetarian you have many Delicious options. The down fall is that during the weekend it's crowded, Nevertheless it's no more than 20 minutes way.

Our favorite stop whenever we can make it to Elk Grove!! The pupusas and curtido are perfection every single time! Everyone there is so sweet, the quesadilla is excellent, I always have to stock up whenever we go there! A plus is the beautiful mural, you just drink it in every time you see it.

This is a hole-in-the-wall spot! I've passed by this plaza many times, but never even entered it. Not super busy on a weekday, but we were greeted by the owner?/cashier, who was a man of few words. Didn't really ask us anything like if we needed help navigating the menu or suggestions...especially since we probably looked super out of place. Seemed like he was a bit more friendly after we got the food. Oh well...we took a look at the menu (no prices listed) and kind of had an idea that we wanted pupusas. I saw some bakery items and wanted to ask about them since there were no labels or prices...ended up not asking and just picked two flavors of pupusas just to try, which were the chicharron (shredded pork and cheese) one and the veggie one. They came with a tomato juice/sauce and curtido (some seasoned shredded cabbage and carrots) in ziplock bags. Didn't care for the tomato sauce, but pupusas with veggies was so good! The pupusas were super hot and fresh...very cheesy. The two flavors we got were almost indistinguishable because of the cheese coating the other toppings...both were very good. I'd definitely come back for the food!

A few years ago I would have given at least 4 stars, maybe even 5. But over the last 3 years the quality of food has really taken a dive. My mom and I would always order the pupusas - chicken and chicharron are favs. They were delicious. But today, much has changed. The cook making the pupusas is not fully cooking the masa thru, filling is good but the masa is still uncooked inside. The flautas and Crunchy tacos are fried beyond crispy to the point that the meat is fried and tough to eat too. Chicken in the flautas and taco were bland and super dry from the frying. Hubby got the carne asada plate, asada was bland. Unfortunately, I will have to take my business elsewhere. I've ordered and eaten here many times but I think today will be my last. I understand raising prices because of the economy but if I'm gonna spend $100+ I would hope I could enjoy my meal. Very inconsistent service and quality. Hopefully, they can turn it around, because this place was delicious and service was friendly and made you feel like home once upon a time. Best of luck to the restaurant's future, there's potential.

I went here with some friends last year and it was so good! I went back again today and it was just as good as I remember! This place makes all of their Pupusas fresh and you can definitely tell. One thing though, the last time I went the salsa and slaw was spicy but this time it wasn't spicy at all. I missed how spicy it was but aside from that, the Pupusas were super flavorful! I am definitely going to go again! The cheese was nice and gooey and the meat was very moist. Also very good prices!

We really like the pupusas. But the business used too much styrofoam and the plantain melted one of the containers, too toxic for my liking. Probably won't be back. I hope they are more eco conscious.

Amazing pupusas with the fixings. The lady that helped me was very friendly. The pupusas are huge. I ordered 4 but only needed 2 and I was full. I will Definitely be back soon.

We had never been to this location and it's so good! The pupusera makes the pupusas just how we like them, tasty, filled and not too oily! We'll definitely order from here again. I'd recommend calling in advance to not have to wait too long

I only recently heard about Pupusas and I'm so glad I did. The first time I ordered from here I got a cheese and jalapeño Pupusa and it was delicious. The second time most recently I ordered the Cheese and chicken Pupusa, this was delicious too. The sauce and curtido it comes with is very flavorful. To top it off, the customer service here is great! Must try!

I have to agree with everyone else the pupusas here are the best in the Sacramento area. Corina is from El Salvador and knows a thing or two about pupusas. We ordered 20 last night and just picked them up. Made my car smell so good!

A small mom and pop shop that surprises you with amazing food. Their pupusas were to die for, I recommend the chicharron and the revuelta, and their tomato salsa is too good to pass up, with a classic and spicy flavor, you'll be asking for seconds.

Delicious pupusas and tamales salvadoreños! Friendly service every time. Every time I'm in the Sacramento area- this is my go to spot as well as their restaurant on Stockton Blvd

Yelp
Good pupusas- not oily. For those of you who read or say "pupusas are supposed to be cheap", "back home they..." Please stop. Pupusas are a Salvadoran ethnic dish with a long and Rich history. They deserves to be appreciated and held in the same regards like any other well known European dishes. If you disagree then that is the problem of why Central America has yet to grow out of its colonialism mentality. In short, eat here, support an honest business, and share on a piece of Salvadoran/Pipil (Native American tribe) history.

Excellent service from Laura! This was my first time ever hearing about this restaurant from an email received from DoorDash about new restaurants added. I placed an order for myself and my son and within minutes Laura called to ask about specifically the kind of pupusas we want since DoorDash didn't provide options. She kindly explained their menu options and ensured me that the order will be delivered timely. Jesus made the delivery and followed instructions exactly. The food itself was AMAZING and will definitely order again. I'm so happy we found this place that happens to be down the street, I mean who knew, right? Geez, we were going to another restaurant on the other side of town for pupusas but this service exceeded all expectations. Thank you for your wonderful food and service!
