Welcome to Guatemayan Yum Yums

“ Ordered food to go. My husband and I had been wanting to try pupusas and this looked like they had some really good ones. It was our first time visiting California so we were not sure what to expect. The person who greeted us was very friendly, she took our order of three pupusas: cheese, bean and cheese, and beef and cheese. They were all super delicious. They came with pickled vegetables and a sauce. We also ordered the plantain desert to try and it was very good. Going back to the pupusas- you have got to try them, they were big and full of fillings and very delicious, very hot and fresh. I would def come back again. ”

“ On the corner of G and 5th across from Vern's furniture is this yummy place. There are corner and 5th st entrances and the space had a few rooms with mostly table and chairs, but there were a couple of booths in the way back by the large kitchen with glass topped wall to see what's cookin. We ate pupusas and garnachas for the first time ever and enjoyed them. We had horchata and Mex coke, which were great. There were no chips or a salsa bar. An orange sauce came with the pupusas, which are sort of like flat tamales. The large green bottled sauce on the table might have been good when it was opened, but it has a old oxidized taste to me. The jalapeno and cheese pupusas were pretty awesome. Both our plates came with a small pile of pickled slices of jalapenos with onions and carrots, so there was adequate heat provided. I missed eating tortilla chips, but it's not required I suppose. The meat and greens on the garnachas was very good, sort of like little meaty tostada's but not too crispy, so no crackups. A table was set up on the sidewalk for making pupusas on a walkabout, sweet. We will come back to try more Guatemalan food. ”

“ Very nice place with friendly and caring staff. We had the chili relleno and the garnaches with a bean and pork puposas. Overall, the food is very generous with large portions. But my relleno could be warmer and the garnaches shells were a bit too stiff. Also everything needed a bit more flavor and the condiment on each table was a picamas hot sauce that was perfect for my relleno and the garnaches. ”

“ Amazing food. Freshly made tortillas. Famousa beer in the liter size. Great green salsa on the tables. Not to be missed. ”

“ We had an absolutely excellent meal here! My husband and I ordered two plates of pupusas to try a bunch of flavors - the chicken and cheese was our favorite, but we would definitely order any of them again. We also had the plantain (YUM), elote (delicious, like a warm corn soup) and a strawberry margarita (tasty & fresh, on the rocks). Service was awesome, very quick and kind. The place was totally empty, so we had it to ourselves. Prices were good, and we felt super satisfied/full. Check this place out, it'll be worth it! ”

“ This was an interesting place with friendly people and good food. I wanted to try something Guatemalan so I ordered a Pupusa. It was good and so was the enchilada, but what I got as an enchilada didn't look like any enchilada ever had before. I don't know if there was a misunderstanding ”

“ We loved it We ordered and split a few items and we were very happy with everything we tried. I ordered the Garanchas, I'm not usually one for ordering ground beef as a meat option, but everything was very well seasoned and the portion was generous, we all enjoyed them. We got two tamales, the Chicken Masa and Chuchitos. The Chicken Masa was so fluffy and moist and the Chuchitos was cooked perfectly as well, and for $3.50, you can't beat it. Then we got a plate of three papusas, one of our favorite foods. We got cheese and jalapenos, pork and cheese, and a plain bean papusa. They were cooked nice and crispy on the outside, not too doughy, not too greasy, perfect masa to filling ratio and the curtido was fresh and crisp with the perfect amount of oregano (a lot ). We ordered some tres leches to-go, so I'm not sure how it tastes, but it looks beautiful, topped with a strawberry drizzle I would definitely recommend stopping in and giving it a try whether you're familiar with Latin American food or not! ”
