Great place! We took two tacos to share and two pupusas each - it was just perfect amount of food. Waiter is super friendly, really helpful. Climate is great. Be careful with chilli sauce- it’s really hot!
Best tacos of my life!
Let me start by saying that we were surprised by the quality even just by the drinks (we’ve got a spicy margarita and a teq-espresso martini). But then the food was INCREDIBLE: from the look to the taste totally amazing!
We’ve had delicious papusas and then all the different tacos cause they were just sooo good.
Our favorite is the huitlacoche tacos, but the carne asada with tasty guacamole, crispy pork belly with pineapple sauce, cheesy beef short rib were amazing too.
We loved it all!
Handmade blue tortillas, quality of ingredients and attention to every detail made this restaurant our absolute London favorite!
Really nice place in the heart of Kensington. Overall, food was great, but I’d highly recommend Crispy Belly Pork Tacos 🌮 🤤 (we ordered them twice!)
Cute place on a busy little street with a great vibe, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. We had nachos with chili con carne and huitlacoche tacos which looked nice but taste-wise were nothing special. Maybe the pupusas would have been a better option. Our server was kind and lovely though.
So happy we accidentally stumbled upon this small restaurant and tried some new cuisine. The pupusas were interesting, I also enjoyed plantain tacos and cauliflower bites as a starter. Overall the food was very filling, even though visually not a big portion. The menu recommends 2-3 pupusas per person, but i was nearly full with just one :) overall a pleasant experience, the drawback was a waiting time, I guess for a weekend Quinta was understaffed, but even with that everyone was friendly and accommodating. Thanks!
Incredible how on my trip to London I suddenly found a pupuseria. I used to live in Central America and enjoy the delicious streetfood many times over there. To find such an authentic, little known recipe in the center of a megacity as London is incredible. The people were very friendly and the restaurant has many vegetarian and 1 vegan pupusa option, apart from the traditional vegan appetizers as guacamole and pico de gallo. Definitely the place to be for every lover of Central American cuisine!
Apart from the very nice menu there's many authentic Central- and South-American cocktails!
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
This restaurant is absolutely amazing, the food is super flavourful and rich and the unique touch of it being Salvadorian, a cuisine I had never tried before, really helps too add to the experience!
The dishes were nicely plated and the staff were very nice and patient with us.
The decor is lovely and tasteful, the music creates a nice atmosphere and their lighting is pleasant.
All in all, I definitely recommend this place too anyone, it is a must try and I will definitely be coming back.
Personal rating(9/10)
Amazing food and lovely staff. Absolutely ask to try the hot sauce. The horchata is awesome too.
Came here because of the excitement of finding papusas in London! They are pretty decent - v tasty fillings but maybe just need some crispier outsides. But they defo reminded me of the real deal. Even the correct cheese! The quesadilla (this is a cake, not like the mexican quesadilla) was warm and light and incredibly tasty. The totopos (nachos) and guac were actually exceptional - surprisingly impressive. Also their fermented chilli sauce is very tasty and actually spicy unlike 90% of "spicy" food in this country. So pleased to see great salvadorean food in this country.

We searched high and low to find pupusas. And came across La Quinta.
staff: the waitor was super friendly & helpful. The cook in the back making the food was friendly also.
service: fast - we were the only ones there for lunch - so food came out relatively quickly.
establishment: small - but have tables inside and also outside. Clean. Bathroom inside.
food: It’s not like my moms. But for the only pupuseria in London (UK) area - I’ll take it. the horchata - was not the Salvadoran traditional horchata. It was the rice version - still refreshing. The pupusas were nice and big and had generous filling of chicharrón (pork), cheese, & frijoles (beans) with good flavour. It was nice that they weren’t greasy. The pupusa masa was brown - which I have never seen so not sure if it was ubleached or colored corn flour - but it tasted just as good as plain corn flour. The curtido - one of the few places that uses a nice amount of vinegar. And the salsa was nice - they had some Chile salsa that was good. The nachos were generous & had great flavour. The quesadillas had good flavour but it was too cakey. Overall great value for the amount of food you get!
Definitely worth the try! Gracias por representar a El Salvador!
