Pupuseria Doña Maria earns praise for flavorful pupusas, generous portions, and friendly service, with many guests highlighting a satisfying mix of options such as steak, chicken and shrimp plates, pork and cheese pupusas, revuelta, and sides like fried yucca and tamarind juice that is not too sweet, desserts like Tres Leches are noted, and the dining room is described as comfortable; the place is described as a go-to for families and the staff are attentive and welcoming, though a few reviews mention a horchata that did not taste like horchata and a delivery spill, and busy times can lead to takeout when dining room space is limited, overall the pupusas are highly recommended and the restaurant is seen as clean and good value.
They take have no consideration for allergies & intolerances when ordering by pick up. Both times we've ordered for pick up, we've asked for bean pupusas with no cheese because of an allergies, & both times they had cheese in it. They were also incredibly unhelpful & difficult with us when we've called to complain.
Difficulté de communication, le personnel ne comprend pas la commande. Malgré l'explication d'allergie & de ne pas mettre de fromage.. il y en avait dans les pupussas
I'm allergic to cheese & specifically asked for pupusas with beans without cheese & they gave me some with cheese in two different order now. Each time I bought the pupusas directly at the restaurant & saw they made the same mistake once home. They refused to give us our money back because we didn't order through Uber & weren't ready to go back there to give them back the pupusas. It took 30 minutes for them to make the pupusas... Won't ever go back there again.

This restaurant is so good. We were 3 & we took the family 2 formula & we had enough food. We got a fried yucca plate, a pupusa plate & a meat plate, all 3 were delicious. We also got the tamarin juice which was so good too, not too sweet.
The diner room is also nice & comfortable.
The last few times I went to Dona Maria, unfortunately the pupusas were really disappointing. The sauce was watery no taste, the coleslaw didn't have much flavor, & the pupusas were thin & lacked taste so was the sopa de res.
As a Latina who grew up eatingatin food, I know how flavorful & satisfying they can be, so it was honestly deceiving to receive something so different.
That said, the service was excellent 5 starts for them. The lady who serves us is always incredibly kind & welcoming. Sadly though, because of the food quality during my last visits, it will probably be the last time I go there. :(
Had the spinach, chicken & cheese, & pork, cheese & bean pupusas. They were pretty good, especially the pork one. Tres leches was nice.
The horchata didn't really taste like horchata & wasn't packed properly because a third of it spilled by the time it was handed to me by the delivery person.
One of our family's go-to restaurants. Our daughter would eat their pupusas everyday if we let her! Great food served by kind staff. I highly recommend!
Excellents pupusas, lieu propre, la dame au service souriante & sympathique mais j'aurais apprécié qu'elle soit plus attentive & qu'elle vienne vérifier si nous avions besoin de quelque chose. Il n'y avait que quelques clients. Mais j'y retournerai certainement
