I've been going to this hole-in-the-wall for years! Owned by a hard working family, this place always makes me drive long distances to meet my craving for their homemade food! The food is great, that's why they get 5 stars, but no ambiance & they're too busy for any real table service, so dining out is better. It's all prepared on the spot, so advance ordering is a must if u don't want to wait. Always ask for extra sauces & stuff as they don't give as much as they used to. Pupusas, chicharrón, fried yucca, black beans, plantains & horchata are my must haves! Love their breakfast too! Enjoy!

Overcharge. Cash only to avoid taxes? Interesting that we do pay taxes when they charge us. They are not organized I ordered pupusas with bean, cheese and Loroco and they gave me only with cheese for the second time. I give up with this place. Pupusas that I mention before are good just make sure they give u the correct order. I don't remember if they can provide receipt I never had one I have to trust what they charge. :/ Looking for another place.

Pupusas were good but in my opinion they were expensive compared to other places and we waited 30 mins for 6 pupusas. The place was empty when we arrived.

I'm a native born Salvadorean, and like most Salvys, I'm a pupusa snob. Good pupusas are extremely difficult to find in restaurants, you literally have to go to a relatives or friends house to find authentic Salvadorean food, cooked by an abuelita who KNOWS how to cook everything from scratch. The pupusas here are possibly the BEST I've eaten at a restaurant setting outside of El Salvador here in the LA area! The beans, chicharron, and cheese are OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Ask any Hispanic person, Salvys, Mexican, Guatemalan, etc, it's the most simple ingredients that make or break a meal, for example ...... beans. If the beans are good, the rest of the food may possibly be good. The beans this place cooks gives you that smile, that look of back home flavors. That blink in your eye. First bite and I was like DAMNNN!! THE GOOD DAMNNN, not the bad one. These pupusas have that IT FACTOR. The platanos were perfectly cooked, big pupusas, and they're worth every cent, they're a bit on the pricier side compared to other Salvadorean restaurants, but yeah, these are worth it! The horchata was creamy and not as sweet as other places. You can also tell how popular this place in by the nonstop orders being picked up by food delivery drivers. Yeah, I found my favorite Salvadorean restaurant. 10/10.

I use to come here all the time and although the Pupusas are good. I cant justify the price. I did a phone order and placed an order for 11 pupusas, they are priced at 3.50$ each. I waited about 30 mins before I went and picked them up, thats the usual time they take. When I arrived and asked for my total the young man working the register told me my total was 53.85$ for 11 pupusas. When I asked how much each one was he said it was 3.50$ each thats 38.50$ total & when I asked him about the rest he told me its taxes. He did not give me a receipt at all. But with taxes lets say at 10.5% that should have been no more than 5$ coming to a total of 42-43$. I still don't understand why I was over charge but ok. I always leave a tip in the little jar but this time I just thought it was overpriced. That was probably my last time going there. Paying almost 54$ thats almost 5$ a pupusas. Im sure there is other places that sell more affordable.
