El Pope Latin American Cuisine 1731 West Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220

"My favorite restaurant in Richmond, I must say. I have to refrain from ordering from them more than once a week. Ate there this past Saturday and plan on returning tomorrow! I always get 3 bean and cheese pupusas with extra curtido. Would request this on my deathbed, only if it was made by El Pope."

"This is an awesome restaurant! My husband and I walked in at 10 PM for a to go order and the kitchen was kind enough to let us order. Adrain was our server and he was fantastic. He sat down with us and gave us many recommendations about favorite and most authentic menu items. I don’t think I’ve ever had a server who was so excited about the food and attentive to customers. We ended up ordering the pupusas, chicken chimichanga, and Al pastor torta and it was all delicious. I’d highly recommend any of those items as they were hot, fresh, and tasty."

"Absolutely heavenly food. I've had both the chimichanga and steak torta sandwich. Both were excellent. Not to mention the prices for the meals are really good. Will be going back many many times."

"Had a wonderful dinner tonight!! Prices were very reasonable and everything was DELICIOUS! We had two tacos, two pupusas, and a torta. It was plenty of food for two people! They were sadly short staffed but the servers were excellent and very kind."

"This place was great. I went with 2 friends from work for a moment away from the office and was pleasantly surprised by the Peruvian flavor. The complimentarychips were really crispy and salted just enough, and they came with what seemed like an extremely watery salsa to dip them in. At first, it seemed like it wouldn't be good, but the taste quickly won me over. It seemed that papusas were a specialty, so we tried them. You can mix and match what filling you want, so I tried 3 different options: potato & cheese, shrimp & cheese, and bean & cheese. They were really good although I couldn't tell them apart because they were all so good. I also had a side or rice and beans that were flavored pretty nicely. There aren't a lot of drink choices, so we went with the jarritos punch. It's like a dark, almost grape tasting juice that grows on you with each sip. I would absolutely go back to try something else."
