La Santaneca’s Cheese Pupusas are appetizing. Their Chuletas de Puerco and Maranon drink make a well rounded meal. Pleasant ambience and attentive staff.
This place was delicious. I was traveling and exploring this area and is in a part of San Francisco that looks a little sketchy. But as long as you're minding your own business you should be good. You do have to wait a little bit. Everything is done fresh. The only downside is that you can only pay cash. So make sure you bring cash.
Great pupusas at a very cheap price. Cash only
I was first introduced to this spot five to six years ago, and through the years it’s left quite an impression. Being of Salvadoran descent and having tried out different spots across the Bay, La Santaneca is the hands down the best pupusas place I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. The flavor and love put into these pupusas (in my case bean and cheese w/ rice flour) are incomparable.
Know in advance that the restaurant is cash only, and that wait times are a little longer to ensure that perfect taste.
We were actually trying to go to another place down the road which was closed and saw a queue outside this place so we stood in the queue to see what the big deal was. The food was amazing. Very simple and wholesome. I tried Pupusas ( cheese and beans) here for the first time and loved it. Also ordered chicken burrito (which I didn't like too much, but then I generally don't like rice in the burrito anyway and there was too much rice in there for me). Also ordered chicken with onion and loved that. Do try the tamarindo. Will definitely be going back when I'm in SF.
The Pupusas were amazing and the Yucca Frita too.
Definitely going back again..

The food is good but the pupusas are the best really tasty!
Extremely pricey for salvadorean food, and they only accept CASH.
Good customer service.
My favorite restaurant for popusas! Great taste, amazing service. Sometimes you have to wait a bit to be seated, but it’s definitely worth it. And it’s very affordable.
The food was really delicious, the service great and the price just fare!
The only thing is that it's really hard to find parking around there.
Love this little hole in the wall. Quick service and good food at a good price. They are cash only, so do keep that in mind when eating here. Luckily, there is a bank across the street.
Loved the pupusas highly recomend. The atole de elote (too liquid, not original flavor) liquado was delicious. Yuca con chicharron was good but I would ask for topping on the side. Please change the acidity in the curtido..all I Tasted was vinegar.
The papusas were amazing as always. I've been coming here since I was a child. Now it's been 10 years since a visit and they are still amazing!!!
I came to this restaurant and had a couple of pupusas last week. They were better than okay. Today i tried the sopa de res (beef) and i was extremely surprised. The soup was one of the best that I've tried away from home.
Best long time Pupusas in San Francisco... cash only business.
