“muy delicioso su comidad“

“Such a great mom and pop restuarant that has both delicious Salvadorian and Mexican food. Went here with friends and we each tried a mix of their pupusas, they took a bit to come out but they were clearly made fresh and well worth the wait. We also had their tacos and guacamole, so flavorful and filling. Our server was attentive and very kind. Great reasonable prices for the high quality. Limited indoor seating but can take it to go. Will definitely be returning“

“Walked to this restaurant/bar twice from my hotel while on business from the Midwest. I don’t speak Spanish, yet all the patrons and staff do! Everyone was super friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed being immersed in music, people and food heavily influenced by the Caribbean & Central America. Prices were reasonable, food was great, but the friendly/happy vibe was the best part. I’ll be back…“

“The best pupusas in the area are not greasy, the tanning is the best and the attention is super good. My granddaughter was delighted with the balliadas and they are not made by catracha hands. I go one day a week from Queens NY and the price is super comfortable.“

“(Translated by Google) Yummy the pupusa I would never have eaten it because I am Dominican but I really liked them! I recommend them to ????(Original)Ricas la pupusa nunca la hubiera comido porque soy Dominicana pero me gustaron muchoo ! Las recomiendo al????“

“Any time I come to jersey, I make sure to stop by and indulge in some of the best Salvadorian cuisines. If you like Latin food then you'll love it here. My favorite is the Carne Asada. Never have I come across such tender and well marinated steak. I was literally able to cut it with a butter knife! The portions are large and the prices are low. As far as seating goes, well its a bit snug. But its always worth the visit. My family and I always leave with a full belly and a smile on our face. <3“

“Good food excellent servers nice environment“

“We had 4 Frijoles y queso Pupusa & 3 Reverta y queso Pupusa which were absolutely delicious with the cortido. We also had the 2 tamales de pollo which was stuffed with chick peas, green peas, corn
Potatos and plenty of chicken. Absolutely out of this world. So nice to see Authentic El Salvadoran food. My wife is Salvadorena so when I bought her here she felt like she was home. Small, quaint nicely decorated maybe 8 tables restaurant. Great service with a smile. $24 for everything. Make sure you leave a nice tip. 10 ? ⭐ ? ? ?“

“Muy buen restaurante deben visitarlo con la familia lo atienden muy bien a uno el ambiente es agradable“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“Hands down this place gets all the stars!!! The food was out of this world, very authentic, you can tell it’s family owned, family recipe which tells me it’s all made with love.I walked in and was greeted by all of the staff. I already knew I wanted from the hot buffet, but I’m terrible with ordering food in any kind of authentic restaurants because I can’t say anything Spanish. I also was ordering in a confusing way because I just didn’t know how else to say what I wanted but the woman who helped me was fantastic! She was beyond patient with me and laughing and made me feel comfortable and not like the biggest pain in the butt. I did decide to pull out and use google translate because I knew it was me making things sound more complicated. She laughed, and that cleared up everything, and she even used it back to make me feel less silly which was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. I actually walked out with the biggest smile on my face because of that woman, she made my day.I’ve worked in the food business for over 20 years and in management and I have to say, you don’t find service like that anywhere anymore. If that was anywhere else I would’ve gotten a lot of attitude and frustration. I was so pleased and enjoyed my first experience so much that I can’t wait to go back.Even though it’s almost an hour from me, it’s totally worth the trip. Aside from the amazing service and friendly staff, the place was very clean, the food was out of this world, the portions were huge. I got for 2 people and after I got home it wound up feeding 3 people. I give them 10 ⭐️’s because 5 just isn’t enough.“

“Small place very homey like. I have tried their soups ( very tasty filled with veggies and meat!), popusas ( revulto and cheese are my favorite!) honestly you could never go wrong with this place, it is always approximate 25 minute wait so call ahead. Very affordable prices.“

“great pupusas delicious shakes“

“The customer service is good and the mood is calming the food that we got was good but the nachos were plain and was stiff el caldo the mariscos was so good ?? and chicken quesadillas were tasty ? the smoothies were good too it wasn't too sweet nor too plain. But the napkins were so thin the table where I was sitting was rocking back and forth but so far it was good.“

“Great Guatemalan pupusas! I love the loroco one (a type of squash) which it is not always easy to find. Soups are perfectly made. Definitively a taste of home for many of us Central Americans. The "atmosphere" is not set up for you to stay long, but if you are ordering as much as I did, then it takes long to eat and drink it all. A "must" when I take my car to be serviced at Lynnes Subaru across the street.

Vegetarian options: Make sure to mention that you are avoiding all types of "carne" if you are strict vegetarian (sin pollo, sin res, sin cerdo).“

“The place is very clean and the people are very friendly. I definitely recommend them. The food is delicious especially the corvino fillet with plantains and fries! Fascinates me. Every time I go to NJ I always go shopping there. The pupusas are delicious and made to order right away. The food is never reheated. It is always fresh and made to order. I recommend them and they will remember me! ?☺“

“(Translated by Google) The popusas are leftover and the chicken tamales are delicious and the horchata soda. No, the food here is good(Original)Las popusas están sobrosas y los tamales de pollo están pero rico y el refresco de horchata. No pues está bien rica la comida aquí“

“Excelente atención buena comida últimamente lugar muy acogedor“

“I love this place so much good food tasty horchata!!! The food is just so amazing TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE !!!! Food with so much flavors makes my mouth water and the flavors of those good pupusas make me happy !!! Good food I recommend!! ??“

“I was looking for a really good pupusa spot, the only place I will go was in union city! Baby… this spot hit!! Freshly made pupusas, el curtido was delicious ? and to wash it down my cola champán!! Customer service was immaculate!! 10/10 definitely will be going back☺️oh and the place is so clean?“

“Great food. I ordered breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs with veggies, mashed beans which were awesome! El Salvadorian cheese with two tortillas with grilled chicken. The Jamaica is sweet but refreshing. Great music (Sonora Dinamita) among other great artists. Service was ok. I will be back for sure“

“I hadn't visited this place for a couple of years due to a bad experience in the service, etc. but they have improved tremendously in the pupusas, they are well cooked, good flavor and the cheese is delicious ? but the same attention always follows, the girls are distracted and angry ? in the end They give you the order and don't say thank you for the order out of cordiality at least“

“Excellent service, my 4 years old daughter is very hard to Please, i when to different places to see if they can do my daughter’s cake and the answer was: I can try my best, not exactly but I can do it, and answers like that, i was not feeling comfortable about it, when I contact sweet Alicia, she just answer my question saying, “it’s going to be more beautiful than the picture”, she was right, my daughter’s reaction was a happy face, and she cannot believed that her cake was exactly the way she want it and it was delicious, I definitely recommend their services.“
