Costa El Sol: Reviews & Ratings

Oh my goodness - this is a hidden gem. It's an unassuming place, but the food will blow you away. The bean and cheese papusas are a MUST. They make the best cassava and plantains I've ever had. The meats are perfectly seasoned. Honestly, you can't go wrong. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are huge. Wonderful people working there too.

Our go-to place for pupusas. As vegetarians, we love their fat bean and cheese ones. They come with a generous amount of slaw and sauce. Check out the rest of their menu as well!

It has good pupusas, the only negative thing is they always take so long to bring the food. Other than that the food is really good. They have my favorites pupusas in all omaha.

Food is so delicious my favorite place to get pupusas. Decently priced too. Only reason why I didn’t give a one star is service isn’t the best staff is super unfriendly. The take sooooo long to get your food. If you dine in it’s super dark and depressing.

Friendly staff, great salsa, and Papusas! What more can you ask for?!? I’m visiting for work from SoCal where Papusas are serious business so, finding such good ones here in Omaha was a great treat!

The pupusas are really good. The inside of the restaurant needs some upgrading, the walls where half painted and some of the lights were flickering.
