Pasadena has had a taste of El Salvador on Richey Street for years. Pull up a chair and eat something real.
Pupuseria y Restaurante Martinez has been feeding Pasadena one handmade pupusa at a time. We press every masa by hand, stuff it generously, and grill it until the edges are just right — the same way it has always been done.
Beyond pupusas, the menu runs deep: tamales, yuca frita, hearty plates of carne guisada, and homemade curtido that cuts right through the richness. Everything is made in-house, nothing is rushed, and the people behind the counter actually care how it tastes.
We are right here on Richey Street in Pasadena whenever you are ready. Call ahead or just walk in — there is always room at the Martinez table.
