Ilobasco Restaurante & Pupuseria, nestled at 3008 W Gate City Blvd in Greensboro, NC, is a hidden gem for lovers of Salvadoran cuisine. The restaurant is widely praised for its delicious pupusas, which are traditional stuffed tortillas that diners rave about for their thick, cheesy filling and perfectly crafted masa. Customers like Jeinis Durrett have shared their delight, noting how the pupusas are complemented by a lively atmosphere enriched by music. The menu offers a delightful array of dishes, including classic options like Carne Asada and Ensalada Con Pollo, but it’s the street-style garnachas that have won over regulars. Patrons such as iCantLogOut emphasize that while the establishment might not catch the eye at first, the culinary experience it delivers is unforgettable. Glen Mckinney echoes this sentiment, urging everyone to try the pupusas, especially the ones filled with barbecue pork and topped with tangy pickled cabbage. Service is consistently highlighted as friendly and accommodating, making every visit feel like a warm embrace from Salvadoran culture. Whether you're in for the Alitas con Papas Fritas or the enchanting Fried Tilapia, Ilobasco promises a robust and flavorful journey that lingers long after the last bite.

Illobasco is a Central American Restaurant. I highly recommend t rying their popusas. A Salvadorian specialty of stuffed tortillas filled with a pork barbeque, cheese and topped with a pickled type cabbage.

It's a pretty small spot that won't exactly grab your attention, but the food is an experience. This has become one of my regular spots. All the food is AMAZING, but if you like street tacos, I recommend the garnachas, they're a game changer.

Great place with delicious food. Attached to a small grocery with a good selection of spices and Hispanic foods. Highly recommended for a meal or to pick up some groceries! Updated: still amazing. Get the papusas, you will not be disappointed!!

My niece has been missing her food. Took her here and we split an order of pupusas (her favorite!). My mom got food as well and the portion of shrimp on her plate was huge compared to a lot of other restaurants. Everyone at the restaurant was very nice, attentive. Food was great. My niece SO happy that she wanted a photo in front of the restaurant

I only had the pupusas, they were right on spot, delicious! That day they had guanaba drink. I was most certainly pleased that the drink was actually made from the fruit and not powder. The price for the pupusas was also great! The size of the pupusas was well balanced. I was very pleased with the overall experience. Of you're on the area for some delicious pupusas, Ilobasco is most definitely the place to go. The place was clean as well as the bathrooms. The sanitary score at the time was a respectful 95.
