Open during pandemic.
Street parking available.
Ordered food online and order was ready promptly.
Tried the #1 lunch special which includes 2 pupusas and bananas.

The beef cheese pupusa was better than the pork bean cheese pupusa.

Lunch Special #1 is my go-to. I get the pork, beans, & cheese + veggie & cheese pupusas :) comes with beans, plantains, and sour cream (which I usually omit.). ASK FOR EXTRA CURTIDO - thank me later! I always enjoy extraaa curtido (and extra salsa!)
