Lovely family owned business that serves up authentic Salvadorean food. Some of our favorites are the pupusas, sopa de pollo, pescado frito, tamales, and pollo guisado. 👌🏽. We usually take out our food because it can get loud in there.

We use to love this place. It was our favorite place for pupusas. But this list visit the food was terrible. The pupusas were dense and rubbery. The chicken soup and fried chicken weren't their usual offerings either.
Will give it another shot in a few weeks but we might have to find a new pupusa place if it continues to be bad. Very sad about it.
