Ricas Pupusas - Provo

I love Ricas! We're lucky to have a few other Salvadoran restaurants in Provo. This one is my favorite for a quick stop. Pupusas are always warm and delicious. They're shifting their focus to tamales now, and those are pretty good. I love the family atmosphere. Everyone who works here is amazingly nice, service is quick, and the place is cozy!

This little restaurant has a lot of potential. The building was an old gas station or shop that was turned into a restaurant, very creative! It has a cute patio for outside dining in the warm months. During the winter the inside of the building is quite chilly, it made waiting for warm food a bit difficult for me! I like pupusas and the menu has a variety of different types including vegetarian options and family sized pupusas. I ordered bean and cheese and pumpkin and cheese. Both were good.

This place was a total disappointment for typical Salvadorean breakfast. I would give this place one star but I’m giving it 2 stars only because my husband had Pupusas and he said they were great. I am from El Salvador and wanted to have the huevos picados meal. The beans were pinto, too blended, almost like soup. The presentation was horrible. They didn’t give me avocado, which was included. They brought my food first and brought my husbands’ 15 minutes later. The worst were the platanos. Awful awful. I even asked them if the cook was Salvadorean because these platanos were so dried, very bad cooked, and almost burnt. If you want a really good Salvadorean breakfast go to El Salvador restaurant that is east of this one, always in center st. They do a better job with breakfast.

This place was great. great service. excellent eating. large parts. we ordered and took a tonn home that was so good the next day. the pupusa revuelt and chorizo were my favorites. the spicy red sauce had exactly the right heat and the curtido was jum. no ac, so I sweated like crazy, but that's okay. it added only the experience.

It was really great! we had the pupusa, of course, when we left. it is directly at the center street, closer to the autobahn. Maybe they miss it when they drive too fast. super cute place and felt very authentic. I thought I was back in ecuador, so I thought it was true for salvador. we had the beans and cheese, spinat and cheese and the chorizo-Pupusa. the chorizo was the best, with spinat and be the least preferred of the three, but still good. will come again to try more about the menu!
