Elsy's Restaurant

Very nice people

I run a food tour in the Mission District and have brought dozens of people here for pupusas. There’s a reason why Elsy’s is our first stop! Consistently great service, excellent value and incredible food- thank you Elsys!!

For one the seating is too tight and they take a while to even notice you. The food had absolutely NO FLAVOR! The fruta de ensalada tasted like jalapeños! The yucca con chicharrón was TOO hard and overly cooked! Tasted like burnt oil. The ensalada tasted old like it’s been sitting! The combination plate was a joke! The prawns were ok but the chicken half was too much salt and the other side no flavor the steak was too cooked and rubbery. The rice tasted like plain white rice and was kind of hard, beans were ok just a little liquified. The red sauce tasted like straight ketchup. The pupusa revuelta tasted like the inside of a taco de papa, same texture as a taco. I got a stomach ache later and just didn’t end well. SMH being that a lady said that this place was “very good especially on Tuesdays” VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR $87. And OVER PRICED FOR BAD QUALITY FOOD. Would not recommend.

Muy mala experiencia. Deberían de tener más higiene sobretodo que manejan comida. Ya había hecho mi orden cuando una persona entró al baño y dejó un aroma horrible que salía en el restaurante se me quitó el apetito. Nunca más .

Fui a este lugar con mi familia a desayunar y mientras esperabamos nuestra comida notamos un aroma asqueroso y terrible el baño apestaba terrible y estaba en todo el lugar (dentro del restaurant) le dijimos a la encargada (posible dueña) sobre el aroma e ignoro todo y le dijimos que ya no queriamos comer ahi y que cancelara nuestra orden y nos fuimos, la verdad que no recomiendo comer a nadie Aqui el lugar esta sucio y muy contaminado con el baño a la par fue bastante asqueroso.

Food is super legit . First time I ever had Salvadorian food. However, the service was ok . The atmosphere was super busy! While I'm not into crowded places this might be for you if you like super busy places.

This is one of the best places I have gone to for pupusa's. The were so warm and gooey. The revuletas pupusa was so good.

They charged me for extra chips even though on the menu it says free refill. Then I order the 4 pupusa plater, they didn't mention the rice and beans were extra on the platter. They charged me for 2 pupusas on the side and 2 pupusas plater to trick me. Not that good of a first experience won't go back because of that. I would recommend another place for pupusas, down the block and better quality and better prices.
