Great atmosphere
The food was great, the pupusas were big and fresh. The plantains were a bit greasy but they tasted really good. The place could do a little more dining in friendly and work on a better air system so its not too hot inside but other than that the service was good, the food was even better.
Food is delicious. Pupusa portions are large, makes you feel like you get a lot of bang for your buck. I tried the caldo de pollo, the mustard flavor is perfect especially when you are under the weather or those cold nights. I have been a patron of this small business since they opened. Customer for life.
