Anybody who says their food portions are small are lying. They serve very good portions, pupusas are AMAZING. Maybe just don’t be so fat😐. Customer service is fantastic. Been here 3-5 times on separate occasions with family and they are extremely nice. 5 star place definitely recommend visiting.

They do not serve well and the worst part is that they do not accept cards, only cash.

This place is small and only accepts cash but it is always a stop for me when I am in Iowa. Friendly and the food is great.

Parking: There is street parking but also a parking lot behind the building. Just look for the orange doors front and back on Church Street.

We got a large order for an event and the food was amazing! This is a mom and pop type of place and they were so sweet. I'm pretty sure they gave us a lot of extra food. We got papusas and and chicken/potato tamales. They are the type wrapped in banana leaf and were super moist. I lived on the sw side of Chicago for many years and these were definitely some of the best tamales and papusas I've ever had. This place is a gem, especially for a town like Ottumwa. Cash only and these is gas station across the street w/ an atm.
