A Mexican Salvadorian food!An empty restaurant should have been the first warning sign; the food appeared stale, and the plantain's flavor seemed almost spoiled. We didn't finish the pupusas, the fish, the tacos, or the fried bananas. Plus, they took about 40 minutes to get our food.I wish I had simply ignored this place altogether.
Delicious pupusa and curtido there. I kept asking for more curtido and they are happy to do it. Will be back.

Tried their Pupusas and I must say they were actually pretty good and the service was great from the cashier to the two ladies in the kitchen preparing the food?? I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious pupusas.

I have been eating here for years but lately the meat in the cakes is very tough, the Milanese is very dry.

The pupusas are the only thing I would buy here. They are very good and fairly priced. I tried the tacos once and was disappointed. Definitely not Mexican tacos, felt more like American tacos. The drinks are also a bit higher price than other places. Get the pupusas and skip the rest of the menu.

I’ve never had El Salvadoran food before but one of the waiters was kind enough to walk me through the menu during a busy time.

Well, sadly, I will have to find a new pupuseria. For many years, this one had my business without fail until recently. The pupusas have suffered a drastic change along with the salsas and the curtido. I thank them for the good times, for I believe they can turn it around back to the way it was. But until that happens, I won't be coming back.
