America's House: Reviews & Ratings
Great Papussas's, nice people, easy parking, and good prices. We bring new people with us each time and they are amazed they hadn't heard of it before.
Food was great had the steak and eggs also the inside was nice had a big tv for me to watch while I eat also the owner is real cool would come here again
A year after trying this place out and it's still great. I normally go during lunch time and there's always a place to sit. Saul always provides great customer service and makes really good Micheladas. The pupusas still taste great every time I go and I highly recommend. They serve Breakfast, Mexican food, Salvadoran food, and Seafood. I want to try other foods, but I just really enjoy their pupusas. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
What a beautiful day today especially when after church..me and my honey have a great Lunch @ the America's House! We were craving for yummy Pupusas so we drive there to San Mateo from San Francisco! We have been here before..and this place NEVER DISAPPOINT! Upon reading other comments on Yelp..it's a hit or miss for some people and I get it! It's your personal opinion..well respected! :) As for my experience today..from going inside to being serviced by two awesome staff there like Saul and Yesenia was very pleasant to us! :)) We appreciated great customer service and it makes a big difference when you're greeted with love and smiles!!! The people who work there are very nice hard workers! Thank you guys!! :)) We noticed a lot of people eating there! It was a pretty full house today which is a great sign for us and for them I'm sure! Saul took our orders! My honey got the Combo 2 Pupusas..one cheese(that one was actually ordered for me for later!) I got the 2 Pupusas..chicken and pork with yummy rice and refried beans!! Both were delicious but the pork was more flavorful to me! Love..love the Cabbage slaw and red sauce! I really glad it wasn't spicy too! Lol!! :} We had our own drinks coz we're trying not to drink too much sodas! Everything was sooo GOOD! It was a perfect meal and being full with happy tummies feels GREAT!!! Overall..try this place..Support this establishment! Especially a family owned restaurant! I'm certain Mr. Oscar Chavez the General Manager their Awesone son Saul will appreciate your kind business!! I've included the business card and our fabulous food we had today! Thank you again! Hope to visit you All soon!!! ;}
My mom always gets us pupusas here, cheese, revueltas and beans, there pretty decent for the price and tasty.
How is recommended this place for the food which I believe is very good. The food Does have the zest and tastefulness of the meals. . Sadly they only have one cook who is trying to make all the meals and as it gets more and more popular it is quite a desperate call for help inside the kitchen. I would highly recommend an additional help. Not only in the kitchen but outside with the waiter who is also trying to manage all the incoming parties. I gave it a four stars because the food merits, but it is greatly needed to have additional help to continue its popularity. I hope this is helpful for those who read this and know that the time there may be a little longer than expected, but once you have your meals it is worth it again. They were able to compensate one meal further tardiness which was nice and unexpected. Thank you again for a great experience
