La Paz Restaurant Pupuseria: Reviews & Ratings
Always a pleasure and excellent experience. The food is always really delicious with authentic flavors and served with a warm smile. Super convenient if you're in the Mission District and ample parking is available. This is a very good place come and decompress if you're visiting the hospital across the street with much better food than the cafeteria.
We ate here recently. The food was good and the woman working front of house was very nice.
Great little spot serving up most Mexican staples. The pupusas were some of the best I've ever had, albeit a little more oily than I'm used to. At $4 per, slightly more expensive than the cheapest in the city but still reasonably priced. Friendly staff.
Service is always amazing, The lady who works the front as a server and register has top tier customer service. Amazing vibes and super kind. I love the bossa nova pop covers that are playing in the background. When I need my pupusa fix during lunch I come here. The fillings are ooozing and I love the soft and crispy contrast of the pupusa. The crab enchiladas are uh-may-ziiiiiiing. My coworkers in the ED brag about these, I finally ordered them and can I see why the hype is foreal.
Straight fire. Super reasonable price for what you get. Pupusas are made fresh in front of you. The cabbage is perfectly acidic slightly sweet and very homemade. Food is solid and what you expect out of a pupusaria. Hard to hate on what they're doing. Service is impeccable as well. Such kind staff.
If you blink you might miss it BUT turn right around! Across from my office LaPaz food is delicious hitting all the right flavors! The interiors welcome you with plenty of seating. A relax chill vibe you'll find friendly smiling staff. Pupusas! Is a must with a beer! Recommend and will be Back!
Really great spot. I love the variety in their combo meals and the staff are super nice and efficient. Definitely a good lunch spot if you work at the hospital
I ordered two chicken tostadas with the rice and beans on the side. Food was made fresh to order and made quickly. I have ordered from here twice and the food was consistently good. The ladies who work here are welcoming and kind. You can tell they appreciate your business. I would order from here again.
