This was my first time ever trying Salvadorian food and i had a good experience overall. We ordered one plate of chicken pupusa which comes with 2 pupusas along with a chicken plate as they ran out of tamale which I really wanted to try. The chicken was juicy and soft, rice and beans combo was delicious but plantain was the cherry on the cake. Service was good, this place is located in a food court inside the mall so it’s self serve. I’d highly recommend anyone this place if they have never had this cuisine before.

My Girlfriend who is El Salvadoran thought to introduce me to her cultures food, and Pupusa Xpress was the best place to show me. As we stepped up to the counter we were introduced to an extremely friendly and welcoming man whom was the owner who gladly and proudly recommended the Pupusas. As we seated he brought out the food to us and walked me through how to properly eat it and how to fully enjoy the experience. The food was fresh, and absolutely tasted amazing. 11/10 I recommend everyone come to Pupusa Xpress, I'll definitely be coming back soon.

I tried Pupusa Xpress for the first time today and the quality and taste of the food exceeded my already very high expectations. The way the Pupusa melted in my mouth was unmatched. I tried the Pork one and let me tell you.... one was not enough. The staff and owners are also so patient, kind and friendly. I can tell that a lot of love and care goes into every dish. Highly recommend coming here for a wild cultural experience.

Delicious chicken (pollo) papusas! And for a great price, the menu does get updated every so often. Thank you! Lots of tables to eat at in the food court and its kind of a quirky mall.

I’m so happy I found out about this place. This was my second time trying El Salvadorian food in general, and everything here was delicious 🤤. We ordered chicken tacos, beef/chicken empanadas, and Mar y Tierra plate (grilled steak with shrimps, rice & salad). We tried Horcheta drink for the first time and it tastes sweet like dessert. The service was great, and owners were polite, which is another reason we will be back again.

I am so happy to have found this place! Authentic El Salvadoran food. Great service. Delicious food. BEST prices. I got pollo guisado and it came with a salad and plátanos. It was all so delicious. I had horchata which was the real stuff. Tasted so good. And for dessert, a pastelito de plátano. Everything was so delicious, I have to go back asap!

Service served with a smile and the food is just *chef's kiss*. First time trying Salvadoran food and I was glad I tried it, especially the queso con jalapeños pupusa and the fiesta platter was definitely worth the price. Lotsa food for amazing price.

Theres nothing Xpress about this place lol. Was so excited to try it after it came highly recommended. My group only had about 35 minutes to spare. In a mall food court, at a stall in which half of the items are already in a hot food table waiting to be served, that should not be a feat. Waited 25 minutes for two pupusa and a burrito. I ordered first out of about a dozen people. Everyone got their food before me. The whole time I waited, the employees were chatting with their friends hanging out at the counter instead of making food. When I realized I wouldnt have enough time to eat my lunch anymore, I approached the counter and inquired about the hold up. The server was rude and argued it was because I ordered different stuff than everyone else. I was there with colleagues who had ordered more complicated meals after me yet got their food before me. The best part? When I finally had time to eat several hours later. The burrito was missing and the two papusa were wrong. Im assuming that I got someone elses order. Maybe one of the servers friends got my burrito. There are other papusa purveyors in the GTA that have a basic level of customer service and respect for customers time. Thats where I would suggest you spend your money.

Pupusas on point. Delicious. EDIT: After about a year, still unable to find better pupusa anywhere remotely near the area. Ive looked! I love south/central american cuisine so ill try every place I see at least once. If youre on the market for pupusa, this place is unbeatable.

Beware if ordering from Pupusa Express via Uber Eats as they may cancel your order without notice and still charge you for the cancelled order! This happened to me on Jan 26 for an order worth $95.16. I didnt expect this and did not notice the charge until many weeks later after reviewing my Credit Card statement in close detail where Uber Eats still charged for the canceled Pupusa Xpress order. Even worse, I contacted Uber Eats Support via with chat with agent Kenesia and then phoned in and spoke with Henry who both told me that because it had been over 48 hours, Uber Eats would not refund my charge. Beware and avoid being victim to this scam!

Beautiful little spot tucked away inside the food court at Sheridan mall. 1 of the main reasons that I go to this mall. Owner speaks both spanish and English which makes it super easy to order, staff are very friendly and always happy. Love the fresh tamales and the pupusas, I can never just eat 1. I always take some to go. Great flavor and lots to choose from, dont forget to try the frijoles.

Went for the Pupusas, great selection of Pupusas, burritos, tacos, full plates and soup. Small establishment in a food court. Lots of seats to eat there as well as take out. Prices are comparable if not cheaper than the other options. Service is friendly and quite quick keeping in mid that alot of the items are made on demand. Would highly recommend. Welcome option at a food court. Look forward to trying out the rest of the menu. Lots of mall parking and fully accessible. Wheelchair accessibility: It is on the basement floor of the mall but there is an escalator and and elevator

Im from Chile and since I arrived in Toronto they recommended trying pupusas, I tried many in different places and I really liked them, but today for the first time I went to pupusa Xpress and it was the best Salvadoran food Ive ever had. I am very happy to have found this place. I hope they never lower their quality. Very satisfied based on price and quality. The best 5 .

And the grill chicken dinner was amazingggggg.. so warm and fresh.. reminded me of my grandma cooking this.. but I have to say I had to throw out the pupusas because I tasted some cilantro in it. I could be wrong. But couldnt take A risk.. beci get a rash when I eat cilantro.. I could taste cilantro but couldnt see it.. but thats besides the point.. im in love with the freshness

Love the food and the service. I live in Scarborough and was in the area. I remember my friend making the recommendation so we dropped by. When we told them where we came from, they made the food extra fresh and really hot to make sure that by the time we get home, it will be the perfect temperature. We ordered the a beef burrito, beef quesadilla, revueltas and tamales. They had generous servings at reasonable prices.

Wow! I was not ready for how good this place is. I was in the area for a dentist appointment and was googling somewhere to eat. Pupas xpress had great reviews so I figured Id try it out. I got a burrito which was absolutely massive and some cheese pupas. Amazing food, and super friendly service. Give it a try if youre in the market for some tasty food.

December 22, 2020

The pupusas were delicious, not greasy at all and had a good amount of filling ingredients. My recommendation to improve the product would be to work on a better recipe for the beans since it seemed like they were canned without much seasoning. The cheese could perhaps be one more similar to quesillo so that it chicles. But again: very delicious pupusas! Thank you for bringing me closer to my beloved El Salvador!
