Wow! This place is incredible. Authentic El Salvadorian food. The casamiento was out of this world - easily the best rice and beans I've ever had!! We ordered a variety of pupusas, ranked below in order by our favorite:
1. Zucchini and cheese
2. Breakfast (available all day)
3. Bean and cheese
4. Spinach and cheese (would try pork too next time)
5. Chicken and cheese

I live in the triangle and will definitely be making the trip out whenever I'm in the mood for pupusas because these are the best around.

All Aboard

My mom and I have been somewhat regular customers for quite a while, but today the very friendly and professional owner was not there. There were 3 female servers who ignored my mom as she stood at the counter waiting to place an order to go. They were not busy. My mom was the only customer standing there and 2 of the servers were just standing near the register doing nothing. After being ignored for several minutes my mom finally returned to the car. I then went inside and the server I am most familiar with asked what I would like to order. I politely let her know that I don’t want anything now or ever again. Of course, they likely won’t go out of business because I’m never going back, but I take comfort in knowing that I will never give my hard earned dollars to a business that disrespected my mother.

The food is delicious! The pupusas are exactly what I expected, very good! The cheese and flavors go well together! The salsa is different from what I've had in the past. It's much better! Queso and rice are awesome as well! That lemonade is really good! The service is great! The prices are reasonable. The parking is decent. It's not a huge place but it's big enough for me. I have no complaints! Everything was good! I highly recommend and I would love to try it again!
