El Pope Latin American Cuisine

Went for lunch with a friend, this place is your stereotypical hole in the wall. Unassuming building, stellar food, they had the best salsa chips I've had since Pescado's in Midlothian closed due to the pandemic. I could've pigged out on those but I still had lunch to eat, so onto the main course. I ordered four Pupasas, two shrimp cheese, and two pork, beans cheese. These were delicious, and came with a Pupasa sauce which is pretty much standard, nothing special with the sauce. However the jalapeño slaw that came on the side was awesome, and I wound up overeating, because I wanted to finish everything.

The best pupusas north of the James! I’ve visited El Pope a few times with friends and it’s quickly become my favorite restaurant in Richmond. You can’t go wrong with the bean and cheese pupusas, and the fried yucca comes with a yummy dipping sauce. Make sure you try the house-made hot sauces… they really are very hot. $5 happy hour cocktails seal the deal. I’d recommend the margaritas! And shout out to the efficient and friendly wait staff. If you’re friendly to them, they’ll remember you every time you come back!

Good drinks at fantastically low prices, nice service, tasty food but the saltiest meal I can remember in a long time! Way too much salt on the chips and the chicken burrito. I don't know if this was a one time experience or if this their enduring idea of how to season foods.

Food was very good. Went there on a whim based on Google's reviews and it was a pleasant surprise. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Only -ve was the wait time for the food to arrive, took about 40minutes.. Place has a small cozy atmosphere.

Great to-go pupusas. The regular and cheese and beans are awesome. Chips and salsa are included in take out orders which is great! Super quick too!
