"I wanna start by saying I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 21 years, so I can be a bit critical about restaurants, because my free time to dine out is very limited so when I go somewhere great I want to brag about it as much as possible!!! Visiting New Jersey with some of my best friends and we were in the mood for some authentic pupusa’s, so we did some research and decided to go to La Pupusa Loca and OMG!!!! They did not disappoint!!! The atmosphere was on point the service was fantastic (our server Thomas extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed so I definitely recommend him for your experience!! , and we had no idea that Fridays they had Live Music!!! All that and I haven’t even begun talking about the food!!!! We did everything family style so we could try as much as possible… We started with the Calamares Fritos; a lot of place get calamari wrong because they overcook it.. this was perfect and tender in the center and crisp on the outside!!! We also did the Yuca con Chicharron… let me say they came out of the gate swinging!!! I love yucca and I love chicharron (well lol I love perfectly cooked pork anything!! so this was a huge winner in my book!!! Next up… well of course we had to do pupusas!!! I loved the Frijol y Queso (reminded me of the ones my best friends mom would make when I was a kid , and of course I couldn’t get enough of the Chicharron pupusa (I already mentioned how much I love pork right? I mean it is the other white meat so I don’t feel bad about it!!! ; they were amazing!!!! For dinner…. Yes there was more food… we shared the Churrasco (which I have to get anytime I see it and this was was a stunner!!! , the Chuletas de Cerdo fried; although it’s offered grilled if that’s your vibe (and by now I’m sure you know how I feel about this one! , the Camarones al Ajillo which was Thomas’ recommendations and one of their most popular dishes (I totally understand why!!! I love garlic and I love shrimp so it hit in all the right ways!!! ; but I must say I fell head over heels for the Mofongo Mar y Tierra!!!!! Until now I’ve only had proper Mofongo in Puerto Rico and I fell in love at first bite!!! The Mofongo at La Pupusa Loca gave me all the nostalgia vibes and delivered everything I needed it to give!!!! If you’re in town I highly recommend it!!! A great place to enjoy great food and make memories!!! On the way out we met the owner and she was so sweet and thanked us for coming and bringing our Texas size appetites lol!!! Go see her!!! She won’t disappoint!!!"

"Terrible experience service. But the food here is delicious. The pupusas were great along with baleadas de carne asada were good. This review is about the service and wait time. We were seated and ordered. A family beside us came after us along with afew other people arriving at other tables after we had ordered. They were all given their drinks before us. Then their foodarrived before us as well. We didn?t get our drinks until 40 minutes of waiting. Then our food arrived 30 minutes later. When wepaid, we kindly told the person up front along with the waiter that we would have appreciated a heads up about the food and waittime and that we didn?t understand why families of 4 or more got their food sooner and before us when all we ordered were 4small items. The hostess and waiter really didn?t seem to care about us and downplayed our thoughts and concerns as if it wasn?ttheir problem. Again, the food here is great and you should most definitely give it a try. I just wanted to voice mydisappointment about the lack of service, courtesy, respect for restaurant patrons and in general, kindness. If you go here, I?dhighly recommend getting take out instead and if you dine in, I am giving you the courtesy to let you know it will take a longtime to get your food. This was my first and last time ever going to this place. Hopefully they treat you with the respect andkindness you deserve and that you and your family?s order doesn?t get skipped and ignored like we were. I hope enjoy thedelicious food, which is truly the only positive, good and highlight of this place."
