This place is slept on. Tacos are good, and they give you a lot of meat. You can prepare your own salsa which they have like 4-5 different options which I love, and jalapeños. Depending on the day sometimes I only need one, but two is always great. This is more of a in and out place. Although you can sit down and eat it’s kind of small, but overall I like them and they’re quick. I only see one chef he’s always working super hard so I’m assuming it’s a mom and pop shop...
The food was okay. I have not had a pupusas in a long time and just tried some yesterday and they were not terrible, but nothing like I’ve had before. The chicharrón tasted more like carnitas meat.
I am pretty sure this business is a one man run type of deal. Each time I go the same man is there and I see no one else. There is a salsa bar so I don't know what the one star reviews are talking about how the guy gives you the wrong salsa or not enough. The man always has a smile on his face and the place is always clean! Love it here!
