The worst place, disgusting, smells like urine and the service is terrible, the waitress is the worst person that can have that place, I do not recommend it, horrible experience, bad treatment.

I was very disappointed after reading the good reviews they had online .I ordered the El Paso taco, the roast pork taco, guacamole and chips and the fish with the rice and salad. The guacamole and chips guacamole was good the chip were stale The roast pork taco was excellent. The Elpaso taco was burnt and then the fish was way overdone. It was so dry. The rice was OK and the salad it came with looked like it was on lettuce. Needless to say I didn’t eat any of the main dish. But they were very gracious, and did not charge me for the main dish or the taco although the girl added eight and three, and came up with 13.

Decided to give this place a chance and ordered on seamless. Minutes after ordering they called and stated they didn't have anymore chicken tamales and offered me corn instead, it happens so I accepted the corn tamale. Delivery window was 2-2:10pm, arrived at 2:27. Pupusas aren't the best in the neighborhood but might have authentic mex or salv cheese (stinky cheese). The steak tacos were pretty good but didn't include guac. The tostones were disgusting! Tastes as if fried in old oil, nasty flavor and oily not crispy.

Food & prices were great ! However the quality service isn't . Server/waiters seem to busy at the bar with the customers (men .)Serve/waiter didn't acknowledge that there 3 were customers only bring two cups of water & two sets of utensils . Had I not asked, would've not been provided . Three separate orders & yet two plates were served so we had to share a plate . No waiters to be found . Great food service could be better

AMAZING food! I order delivery from here once every few weeks, and my go-to is the enchiladas verdes de queso with rice and beans on the side. It comes with 4 enchiladas per platter, as well as a choice of two sides. A really good deal for the price ($11!)Whenever I order from here, the food always comes well-packaged and piping hot. The rice has the perfect amount of fluffiness, and the beans are perfectly rich. I'd also recommend the breakfast, I love the huevos rancheros! Do yourself a favor and go here for some top-notch food!

My favorite spot for central American food. I usually order takeout but will mention my must haves. Pupusas revueltas are PHENOMENAL! Carne asada with chimol (chimol is like pico de gallo except no jalapeños and it has salt and lime) is chefs kiss! They fire grill it. Tacos are pretty okay but are STUFFED with meat (carnitas and chicken are banging) the caldo the res and caldo the mondongo is just how my mom or dad would make it and honestly I did not want to write a review because I wanted to keep my hidden gem a secret (cause y'all ruin everything) but I won't be selfish, this place deserves the business!

It's a hole in the wall style restaurant that I've walked by for years, but I wanted Pupusas so I decided to give them a try. I got 1 frijol and one chicharron and it was surprisingly filling and good. Not THE BEEEEEESSSST.... BUUUUT definitely have had worse, so for cheap and quick eats it was good. They speak Spanish mainly so have google translate on Go. Otherwise they have two bathrooms and let my puppy @puppachulo sit at the table so A+ for that.

To begin with, a not very pleasant atmosphere, those walls with those deep blue and green colors that are not very attractive and then the very oily pupusas NOT very good and they serve you a pittance of tanning and sauce for 8 pupusas and the fresh and terrible ones I ordered a tamarind one that was super Fermented too expensive for the low quality of the product and the environment with several drunks inside the premises it is not a family environment not suitable for children and the bathrooms are dirty and very neglected for a restaurant I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL there are other more pleasant options and about all FAMILY no drunks yelling in the restaurant
