Terrible customer service and 0 progression for orders, if you don’t hear your order, they will not call it again, lol. Waited over 1 hour to 2 items to go, ridiculous .

Terrible place. Don't come. The people at the checkout have a terrible attitude and made me wait for more than 50 minutes to tell me that what I had ordered was available. In the end, they didn't even give me my money back because I had to choose something from the menu. They couldn't return the money. Terrible place!

I ordered an Uber pickup, and when I went inside to ask for it, the lady at the cashier kept ignoring me and even rolled her eyes. Very rude, and it wasn't busy. Plus, when I got home, I found out that my order was wrong. I ordered a friend chicken dinner plate and three pork, cheese, and bean pupusas. For the pupusas, they gave me only cheese and beans. I can overlook the wrong order—it happens sometimes—but I can't accept rude service. Do better next time.

I usually eat at this place because my friend is from Guatemala and she took me here. The food is very delicious and quality... The only thing I want to add is that the girl they currently have who is taking the food orders. She has a sarcastic and unmannered attitude towards clients for not knowing the dishes and the original way of speaking of El Salvador. They shouldn't have people like that serving people directly. This robs the quality of the place....

Great spot. Normally there is a wait for the food around 15 minutes if they are not busy. But it's because of the great job and care they give to each meal. Totally worth whatever the wait!

Best pupusas around. It's always busy and not that cozy to eat there so we always take them home. However the food quality is excellent and you can't beat the food here.

Vegetarian options: As long as you can eat cheese, I highly recommend the cheese and bean with loroco. Delicious. Ask for a spicier salsa if you prefer spice.

The food is good, slow, the hand-made tortillas are delicious, the beef hoof soup is delicious, and the sandwiches are also good. You can try it!
