Shutdown for cockroaches! There is NO excuse for this to occur. Cockroaches are not a random infestation you get out of nowhere, and they do not just randomly sneak into the business to instantly spread. Here’s the truth about roaches: continuously practicing poor health & safety precautions that put people in danger is how roaches breed. Despite resilient features, cockroaches need a particular environment to develop an infestation. These are cold, damp, and untouched areas. Having unsanitary environments on-top of not properly disposing of waste, which includes cardboard (not just food) is how they get inside. Which means, eggs travelled on something delivered inside and there are not measures to ensure that those things are disposed of and kept in the correct areas. If you have lazy business practices, you get cockroaches. Another prime example of why you should stay home and eat! Humboldt kitchens are lazy, and don’t think the other restaurants are much better. An average kitchen in Humboldt is a disgusting cross contaminated mess.

Well the paupusas were good, the empanadas came out of a deep frozen bag and the gazpachos were inedible, burnt to a crisp. It was a take away so we discovered this back at our hotel. They should be embarresed to hid burned food in a box and watch you walk out the door with it. This is poor quality control and discurtious to their clientele. I LEFT A TIP, BUT I WANT IT REFUNDED

Unique niche cuisine with dishes you can’t get elsewhere in the county even if the names look the same. The flavors are fresh and the profile is overall lighter than the more familiar Mexican dishes. Also, I love the atole/champurado drinks — so filling!

Stopped here during a roadtrip with my husband. The food is fresh and tastes amazing, my husband is Guatemalan and he was a bit skeptic at first, but WOW! Highly recommend this spot, it is reasonably priced also.

Ordered food to go. My husband and I had been wanting to try pupusas and this looked like they had some really good ones. It was our first time visiting California so we were not sure what to expect. The person who greeted us was very friendly, she took our order of three pupusas: cheese, bean and cheese, and beef and cheese. They were all super delicious. They came with pickled vegetables and a sauce. We also ordered the plantain desert to try and it was very good. Going back to the pupusas- you have got to try them, they were big and full of fillings and very delicious, very hot and fresh. I would def come back again.

The food was great, fantastic, excellent flavors. I had pupusas and the Guatemalan fries. Loved the green hot sauce they had at the table, haven't had anything like this stuff before.
The vibe of the restaurant was just opened. It felt like things were sort of haphazardly arranged. Random stuff in the corner in front of the door that looks like it should be the primary entrance.
It was also a little dirty, not concerningly so, but again it felt like they opened recently and were still cleaning up the place, but they've been open for over a year.
I found the menu a little confusing, a lot of things are not described, it just gives you the name of the food, and it's Guatemalan food that I've never heard of before, so I have no clue what it is or if I might like it. I also feel like the layout and overall formatting could use some work.
They were also out of coke and pepsi products, and horchata.
They also do not have an ADA compliant door handle to the restroom.
Overall I think you should eat here, it's great food, I just mention these things in case they are paying attention to reviews for feedback.
