Horrible serviceI asked if the huevos ranchero's had jalapeño in them and the server had an attitude and told me that Mexicans always eat spice and why I should care if they had them or not.

The Pupusas were delicious not greasy at all. They taste freshly made. The horchata was also very good. I was impressed, andI don't mind waiting when i know that the food is freshly made! I would come back if we find ourselves in that area again. The service was also good.

Awesome place for authentic Salvadorian food. Pupusas weren't greasy so if you are health minded person, they do not use heavy grease to cook.

One of LA's Salvadorian gem. If you are looking for authentic Salvadorian food, look no more. I probably have tried almost every item it has been beautifully cooked and delicious all the time. Favorite, of course, pupusas, and yucca con chicharrón. The restaurant it self is small but don't judge it's book by its cover and you will kit be disappointed.

The employee who takes the calls over the phone is very nice and polite.

They only had pork pupusas so I didn’t order anything (don’t eat pork). Seems good! Guy was friendly.

I was visiting LA and met with a friend I hadn't seen for almost ten years. The staff was very friendly. My friend and I sat and chatted for hours, and no one tried to kick us out. I appreciate the level of hospitality. The food was excellent! I don't eat meat, and the server helped me pick a few items that accommodate my food preference. I highly recommend this place. My only suggestion is to get a card reader that allows you to add a tip. We didn't have any cash. I felt horrible not leaving a tip. So we went down the street to an ATM and pulled some money. (Or just remember to bring cash to tip your servers.)Vegetarian options: There are cheese Pupusas, beans, plátanos, or you can just let the server know.
