🌮🔥 Hidden Gem Alert! 🔥🌮 Okay, y’all… I just stumbled into a little slice of Mexico right here in the neighborhood—and I am SHOOK (in the best way possible)! I popped in just to pick up someone else’s order (yes, I was the food fairy 🧚🏽‍♀️), and even without tasting a single bite, I already know this spot is about to become my new go-to. This place? AUTHENTIC with a capital “A.” From the smell of freshly grilled tortillas to the warm welcome from the owner (who told me they’ve been rocking it for 5 YEARS?!), I was sold instantly. Like… how have I been sleeping on this?! 😩 The decor? Simple but real. It’s giving “don’t judge a taco by its tortilla.” And even though I didn’t eat (YET), let me tell you something: if vibes had flavor, I already know this food SLAPS. I mean, you can just feel it in the air. My next visit? I’m pulling up hungry and leaving with a belly full of love and salsa. 💃🏽🌶️ Local folks—support this spot! The owner mentioned they need more exposure, and honestly, they deserve ALL the love. Let’s not let this little treasure stay hidden. Put it on your food map. Mark it with a 🌮. #HiddenGem #MexicanMagic #NeighborhoodEats #AuthenticAF #TacoTuesdayEveryday

Great carry out spot with delicious pupusas. Absolutely can’t get enough of the bean and cheese ones.

The guacamole is also very decent and the salsa is fresh.

Very authentic. Used to live in both Mexico and El Salvador. Wish I had found this place sooner! Food is so freaking good. Worth a visit. Ambiance inside makes you feel like you just stepped into a restaurant in El Salvador.

Food tastes like someone's grandma is in the back cooking up a meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back.

The steak burrito, refried beans and rice were all cooked really well. Perfectly seasoned, great portions, very filling. The nachos were also great, plenty of ooey-gooey melted cheese, well seasoned beef. Awesome! My only complaint is that the chips were a little stale. But honestly that didn't do much to take away from my experience (they did seem to be house-made).

Highly recommend this place if you want quality Mexican food for a good price 👍

This is a gray spot for authentic El Salvador food. It’s hard to find this type of authenticity everywhere and they nail it. When you walk in you feel like you’re home but in El Salvador! I really appreciate the food and the service is always on point.

We have been here several times and the food is consistently delicious!! This time we did carry out (apologies for the pic, I just dump everything on my pupusas) and obviously there was no difference in quality.

Our go to are the pupusas. They are SO good and cheesy. The carry out order came with a bag of curtido which I appreciate so much because I could honestly eat a bucket of it!

Inside is always clean with plenty of seating and the staff is so friendly. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. You will not leave here hungry!

Highly recommend this establishment! The food is homemade and traditional El Salvadorian cuisine that you cannot get anywhere else! Friendly service, food comes out fast, paying the bill took a bit longer than we wanted that day or I would have given them 5 stars on service. Atmosphere is not the focus, don't let that turn you away. A very good experience overall! Papusas are amazing!
