Food: Tasty food, full of delights

The food at Pupuseria El Kiosco is remembered for its tantalizing tastes. Pupusas loaded with cheese, the hearty Platanos Fritos con Frijol Negro, or Chicharrón y Yuca Frita with perfect seasoning, all give rise to numerous gratifyingly delicious experiences. Not to forget the freshness of Curtido that nudges towards delight in each bite. And, the ample servings ensure you're satiated, though unexciting, the pricing is fair.

  • Great Taste

    Many customers highlight food as delicious, unforgettable, and best ever.

  • Okay Value

    Price fair, not especially good or bad, reflects average customer viewpoint.

Vibe: Less of buzz, more of drab

The vibe is a letdown with a dated décor that misses a spark. There's an old TV and the menu borders on tacky, but it's warm and comfortable, just like home. However, the slow-paced atmosphere decimates the idea of a buzzing spot.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Decor dated, TV old, menu tacky, but still feels like home.

Perks: Unappealing service and parking

The service could use a shot in the arm – it’s slow, inefficient and not the friendliest, according to several patrons. And then there’s the issue of parking, it’s a nerve-wracking affair on the crowded Artesia Blvd with not enough dedicated space.

  • Bad Service

    Service described as slow, unattentive, inefficient, lacking, with rude staff.
