Pupuseria Valle de Jiboa

Pupuseria Valle de Jiboa is a Salvadoran restaurant in San Mateo, California.

Pupuseria Valle de Jiboa on North B Street in San Mateo puts Salvadoran comfort food at the center of a small, casual dining experience. Pupusas are the natural place to begin, with bean-and-cheese, chicken-and-cheese, and pork-and-cheese combinations providing several ways to enjoy the specialty. We like a menu that makes it easy to mix a few fillings and share them around the table. Pickled cabbage adds a tangy accompaniment to the filled corn cakes, while sopa de res offers a beef-soup alternative when you want a different kind of comforting meal. With only a few tables, takeout is a practical option as well. The appeal is a straightforward introduction to Salvadoran favorites in a neighborhood storefront, with enough variety to make a return visit worthwhile.
