It’s Pupusatime, but it’s also pan con pollo time - Review - Miami - The Infatuation

"Takeout orders of pupusas, tamales, and tacos de asada are constantly churning out of Pupusatime’s tiny kitchen. We get it—we love to eat these things on our couch, too. But the one dish you should stay for is the pan con pollo. The sheer magnitude of the sandwich demands you sit down, document the experience for posterity, and briefly contemplate moving to Hollywood. The toasted baguette is stuffed with heaps of stewed chicken, curtido, and a side of consommé for dipping. We haven’t found a place in South Florida that makes Salvadoran dishes as good as the ones here. Their pupusas revueltas and loroco y queso oozes cheese like Niagara Falls. Both are made with the same masa used for their tacos. Your “305 till I die” loyalty will be tested after the first few bites of the meal. photo credit: Tasty Planet Food Rundown Pan Con Pollo The name pan con pollo is a ruse. It neglects to inform you that this toasted baguette is not only stuffed with copious amounts of stewed chicken, but also curtido, watercress, and a side of consommé that doubles as a hearty soup. It’s big enough to share, but don’t be stupid and get one for yourself. It’s just $14. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Revuelta It’s called Pupusatime for a reason. Out of the lengthy list of pupusas they offer, the revuelta is our favorite. Generous chunks of salty chicharron swim in a tie-dye pool of refried beans and cheese. The crisp curtido cuts through all the richness and makes it too easy to inhale in under five minutes. photo credit: Tasty Planet Loroco Y Queso The potent, aromatic flavor of loroco is instant. It’s one of the stronger loroco tastes we’ve come across in a pupusa (this is a good thing). PlayMute video credit: Mariana Trabanino Tacos De Asada You won’t have to worry about the tortillas breaking apart like parchment paper. They’re thick, made in-house, and support the deliciously seasoned chunks of carne with not a single crack or tear. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Tamal De Pollo The tamal arrives tightly wrapped in a banana leaf like a newborn baby. It’s solid, but not as exciting as the other dishes mentioned. Don’t prioritize it unless you’re experiencing an insatiable tamal craving. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino" - Mariana Trabanino

The Best Pupusas In Miami

"We’re aware this isn’t in Miami. But it’s close, and this guide didn't feel complete without this Hollywood spot that’s so good at making pupusas, they named their restaurant Pupusatime (and it’s hashtagged). The pupusas here are larger than a smoke detector but smaller than a vinyl record, so you can get full with just one. Texturally, it's in the sweet spot all pupusas should aim for—slightly crunchy while still maintaining a bouncy consistency. The acidity in their curtido is subtle enough to let these flavorful frisbees be the real stars. And their pupusa de loroco y queso will convince your proud Guatemalan mother that she’s not the only one who can make good pupusas in South Florida (at least that’s what happened to us).

The 16 Best Restaurants In Hollywood, Florida

"Pupusatime has some of the best Salvadoran food in South Florida. The bright blue and white restaurant is so small, only about 12 people can fit. Salvadoran memorabilia, floating sombreros, and giant handwritten menus are immediate indicators that you’re in for a fantastic Central American meal. The tiny establishment is run by two women who source ingredients from El Salvador and make nearly everything from scratch. Not only are their pupusas delicious, but they also make incredible tacos, tamales de elote, and hot chocolate. It’s a first choice for when you’re craving pupusas and a warm cup of atol de elote that’s as comforting as a cuddle from a hypoallergenic puppy." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, carlos c olaechea

Pupusatime has some tasty authentic dishes, the pupusas are flavorful and fresh. It's the kind of comfort food that makes you appreciate small, family run spots. This is a mom and pop operated shop and loved the out of the country home like feel. The customer service could use some improvement. The staff wasn't very attentive or welcoming during my visit and it felt like I was more of an interruption than a guest. A smile or a bit more engagement would go a long way in making the experience more inviting. I have high hopes for my next experience due to this being a holiday weekend, they were probably slammed. With a little boost in hospitality, overall I would visit Pupusatime again.

I’ve been having my eye on this place for a while and have been wanting to try it. My first time ever having a pupusa. This place did not disappoint. It was truly delicious. We had the birria pupusa and the wings. I recommend this place for anyone who is interested. Not pictured is their delicious cabbage slaw and wonderful drink options.

Amazing service, the food is delicious! You can never go wrong with pupusas. I haven’t found another location that sells it near by. Great prices for the quality of food. It is tiny but if you choose to dine in. The only downside would be parking when busy.

I ordered online on uber eats ! Let me tell you the pupusas n tamales are amazing, I ordered the pan con pollo I wasn’t a fan of it but it was good.

The pupusas are definitely delicious fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, the overall customer experience could be improved. The person taking the order was a bit too reserved and could benefit from being more enthusiastic, friendly, and warm. In a business like this, practicing genuine cordiality makes a big difference. I also tried the horchata, but it was overly sweet and not very enjoyable. Be prepared to look for parking, as it’s not readily available, and the space is quite small though I will say it was clean and tidy. Overall, the food is great, but there’s room for improvement in service and drink quality.

Nice compact place with one table and some stools around the wall and main window. Great food cooked on the spot. Salvadorean tacos were really good. The rusted pepper on the side was fire..

The best pupusas in South Florida. They are filled with cheese and whatever else you'd like. Their panes con pollo are to die for and they are the only place that sells them. The horchata is authentic and their desserts are addictive. 10 out of 10 each time.

Can't beat Pupusa Time. Real authentic PUPUSAS, try the Salvadoran Pan con Pollo (Chicken Sandwich), a classic! The Tamales are also very good texture and flavor. For the pupusas the chef grinds the corn like in the old country, none of that instant powdered corn flour like in most pupuserias. And please 🙏 remember they are called PU PU SAS, not PO PUS AS.

Wow! These pupusas are super fresh and yummy. I went with the classic cheese but the staff let me try some of the Birria Pupusas and OMG. Such a delicious pupusa. The birria pupusa is shredded beef and cheese and comes with a beef based dipping broth that is to die for. Pupusas's are like a grilled cheese but made with corn, like an arepa but thinner and yummier. The cheese is gooey and it's served with pickled vegetables like onion/ cabbage. It also comes with a fresh tomato salsa/puree. The Horchata was on the sweet side but super bomb as well. Check this place out! You won't regret it!

Ever since visiting El Salvador and trying pupusas, I have been in a roll to find some authentic versions locally. This restaurant is cozy but mighty comes closest. The cashier is easy going. I phoned in an order for a pupusa de pollo and a pupusa de asada. Both were hot and ready when I arrived for pick up. Although both were filling and delicious, I enjoyed the chicken more. Parking wasn't a issue for me. I parked across the street on the cul-de-sac, the park is in front and walked to the restaurant. I would definitely return to this restaurant when I am craving pupusas.

What a great find, thank you fellow yelpers for the recommendation! Hubby and I were craving pupusas on a Friday night and living in Aventura means our options are very limited. Luckily we found Pupusatime which was about 20 minutes away, and we've become immediate loyal customers after the first visit! We ordered the shrimp tacos and they were chef's kiss! Handmade blue corn tortillas, shrimp cooked to perfection topped with a delicious sauce-- SO GOOD! We also ordered cheese and bean pupusas that were unbelievable! Not "doughy" ( I know they're not made with dough, it's masa-- but some places tend to make pupusas too thick and lack filling) and bursting with filling, some of the best pupusas we've tried! Their curtido (salad) and sauce was fresh, flavorful and the perfect topping. The locale itself is pretty small, but decorated bright and beautifully. There are a few barstools/bar area and a table, making this the perfect "to go" spot. We ate here but while we waited, 4-5 customers who had ordered ahead, which we will do as well in the future. The staff was very nice, and so helpful. I'm so happy to have found this spot!

My wife and I went to eat lunch/dinner based on a recommendation. This is a small place to get food to go with limited space inside. When you arrive, parking, maybe a little difficult to find, but you can park by the park. Inside, is quaint and the menu is right in front of you. Once you place your order you go to the cashier and take a seat at the table or any of the chairs. if you're looking for fast McDonald's service, you need to be patient as orders are made by hand. We ordered a mix of items and pupusas were delicious and nicely seasoned. They even give you different toppings that will pack their own heat. We ordered the shrimp tacos, and if you like items, you will definitely get a kick out of that one. I am not a fan of spicy items, so I only ate one of the tacos, but it was nicely seasoned. Lastly, I had a tamale which chicken and it was on point. As I stated, this place is meant for takeout, no big groups, and no animals. You will get authentic El Salvadoran food by hand and it will not disappoint. I definitely recommend going and trying this place out.

This place is definitely worth a stop. The pupusas were freshly made while I waited under 10 min. Interesting interior tucked in between a tech shop and smoke shop.

I've ordered from here twice through delivery and each time it was amazing! Great size and filling, great price as well. You really can't beat the value. I actually just ordered for the third time tonight as I'm writing this review

Very small place. Had to check it out based on an ig post. And since it's near my house. I decided one night to try it out. I ordered the pan de pollo and it was decent, definitely had some flavor. Very filling as well. I couldn't finish all of it within one sitting. Had plenty of veggies in it. It was an interesting sandwich for sure. I just hope to try their pupusas for next time as well. It was a bit of a wait for my food. Other than that it was nice.

This is truly a food experience I'll never forget. Everything was amazing and I do not throw that accolade around lightly. I had the tacos de asada, pupusa de pollo, the mixed one and a horchata that rivals any I've ever had. Personal thank you to the cooks and you have a lifetime customer for sure!

Awesome tacos and pupusas. Tacos were Mexican street style with homemade tortilla, meat, onions (on side) and cilantro. Salsa Verde was homemade and awesome. They even threw in a couple roasted peppers on the side. The steak and chicken were both perfect. The pupusas were out of this world good. Cheesy and meaty with their fresh red sauce and the traditional pickled cabbage carrot jalapeño slaw, it's not spicy. They even had chicken tenders and awesome fries for the kid, $8.00. The tacos were like $3-4 each. And the pupusas were $4-5 each. They also had the Mexican sodas, $3 so good. Order ahead for take out or you'll have a nice chill 15 min wait as they make it to order fresh. Be prepared to use google translate or speak basic Spanish. If I can do it you can, it's worth it.

Very good food and I must say that it was my first time there and I was impressed with the cozy place. Good is done freshly and yes, it can take a bit but I don't mind waiting for good and fresh food. Pupusas tasted super good and delicious. Muy buena comida y debo decir que era mi primera vez allí y quedé impresionado con el lugar acogedor. Lo bueno se hace recién hecho y sí, puede tardar un poco, pero no me importa esperar por comida buena y fresca. Las pupusas sabían súper buenas y deliciosas.

I miss eating pupusas and am happy that I found this place. I ordered the zucchini pupusa and cheese pupusa via Uber Eats as I am here for a seminar in Dania Beach. The pupusas were of generous size and they were delicious. They were packed very well for their short trip to my location. I would definitely order from here again.

Cute place with an authentic ambiance and nice staff. The food is made to order, comes out hot and flavor- filled! The parking is a bit tricky but overall awesome establishment. Def recommended *chef kiss*

The food here is amazing! It tastes like someone's grandma made it. We found this place like a month ago and been back twice already. Also the atole is the bomb.com. The service is good too. I recommend you call and place your order ahead of time.

Place is definitely a small, family-run operation, so be patient and come hungry. They have a great cheese and bean pupusa with all the curtido and salsa you could want.

Not good. Uber eats order forfive pupusa's and Horchata... My driver spent 23 minutes waiting after I had already put my order in about 20 minutes before that... My Horchata taste like it's half coffee gross! And the Pupusas just aren't that good the sauce that comes with it just taste like bland water down tomatoe... Won't order here again

I wanted to love or even like this place but it didn't impress, unfortunately the pan relleno was too overwhelming with salt and it took away that tasty slow cooked hen. The pupusas we're so greasy and not made we'll, tortilla was breaking up and cracked . Not impressed and not tasty.

Very good papusa and quality tacos! I will definitely go back and recommend to anyone in the area!
