A small place, very clean and a nice calm atmosphere from the busy street out outside. I ordered a pupusa and huevos entomatados. I really enjoyed all of it. Good flavor. My only issue was the plantains tasted a little over ripe. The staff all had smiles and were friendly. From ever in this area again, I definitely would come back Parking can be tricky, of course

As I said in my older review, the pupusas are great here, but I recently tried their carne asada which is one of my favorite meals, and also very good. I got carne asada, rice, beans, and a generous helping of tortillas.

In the heart of the Mission District. The food was exceptional. It felt like my abuelita was making it in the back. Simple, but very, very good, especially on a cold day. We got Revueltas (pork + cheese), cheese only, and the chicharron (pork only) pupusas with the amazing rice and beans. We also ordered a side of fried plantains, which was enough for 3-4 people. I really loved the food here and the vibe of the customers. A lot of regulars and like everyone knew each other. Highly recommend.

Being greeted when you come into a restaurant is a delight. But when you're greeted into a restaurant that feels like a home the experience is entirely different. La Santaneca de la mission has a calm homey atmosphere that feels like you're being hosted at someone's grandmothers house. The wonderful seating and prime location of being in the mission is amazing because after a day out and about you can unwind with Salvadoran flavors and textures. I had pupusas for the first time here and I've been on a mission to find the best ones, because the subtle flavors and textures make for such an incredible eating experience!

From the moment you enter this very classical restaurant with all its decorations guiding you through El Salvador beautiful countryside and pick your rest artifacts you greeted and seated promptly and welcomed. Once you're ready to order from a bath a variety of food your heart is pounding to realize all your favorites are found in this menu. From the classic cheese pupusa to a variety of other great meals like the typical turkey sandwich hard to find. I was pleasantly surprised of how delicious and it reminded me of my childhood experience in El Salvador eating for the first time this sandwich. The ambience here is peaceful and white entertaining. I would highly come and recommend this place and continue eating all those wonderful delicacies that they have in the menu. Come and enjoy.

Came back here with the seven year old in tow. Food is still as good as I remember. Service remains friendly. Pupusas are great, fried plantains are delicious. Prices remain reasonable. Review from seven year old: "I agree with my mom"

I've been going here since the 90s. It's been awhile since my last visit but I was glad I went back. The food was just as delicious as ever. I got the pupusa plate and it was amazing. The rice was so good and so were the beans. I got the corn tamal also and it was amazing. Love this place. Friendly staff. Great place, love the remodel. Great for one person or for a date. Very yummy.
