The place is small yet cozy. They have Spanish Christian music and no it's not boring but has a great beat to sway to. I tried the pupusas and they were delicious! Their ensalada drink is my fav! The waitresses were nice and sweet. Def recommend if you are in the area and craving pupusas!
first time trying this restaurant, i called ahead to place an order to go which were 8 pupusas revueltas & an order of plátanos that came with crema & beans for a total of $31. it took about 15 minutes to be ready, the inside has a homey feel to it & all the ladies were sweet. the pupusas were SO good, not greasy at all. it came with tomato sauces & curtido. the curtido (pickled cabbage) had a good spicy kick to it which i enjoyed. the plantains were delicious, wether you eat it with the crema or not it's sweet & savory. the refried beans were tasty as well just an overall great meal. can't wait to come back for something new.
Food was flavorful and the workers were very polite. Would definitely come back very authentic Salvadorian food !
We didn't have much from here, just two Pupusas. But they were delicious! I would happily comeback and try more items.
I've been craving pupusas for a while and these hit the spot! So tasty! Staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly
I've never had a pupusa before so I was excited to try it. I was also craving plantains and horchata so I got that as well. The serving size was generous and I really enjoyed the beans. The horchata tasted differently than I've ever had before. There was a peanut taste. It wasn't bad, just different. I believe I got cheese and bean, cheese and pork, and cheese and loroco pupusas. I was pretty stuffed by the time I got around to the pupusas and took them to go. I preferred the pork and cheese and would get it again. Not too sold on the other two. The parking lot is small so be mindful of that if dining in.
Good popusas. Good location. Good price. Recommend Came here after being recommended by central American friends.
Super tasty, food came fast, and the price is pretty average. Food was made fresh and was sooo good, place was very clean. They also offer to go orders but they do take about 15-20 to have the order ready because again they are made fresh!
La comida es súper autentica y deliciosa!!!! Se los recomiendo a todos. Las pupusas son deliciosas y de buen tamaño! The food is delicious and super authentic!!!! I recommend everyone go. The pupusas are delicious and a good size!
Omg I just found this hidden gem. Delicious is an understatement. I had the platanos y frijoles and tamale de pollo. The tamale was to die for. It was a huge tamale too not one of the skimpy ones. The plantanos were ripe and sweet and fried to perfection. I will definitely be going back to this location. Only minor con is the parking lot, depending on the time you go it's jammed packed.
