Food is good. Prices are okay . Despite inflation going on. But it's suitable for quick food in and out.

Horrible experience. We bought some scrambled pupusas and in one of beans and cheese I got a big green mascot. How could they not see a tremendous pet. Disgusting. And more than that, it was the pupusa that my daughter was eating. And they didn't even tell us that they would refund our money because in the end we threw away 5 pupusas out of 9 that we bought. They should be careful.

My boyfriend and I went there after a long day of work and running errands today. The food was good but the service was terrible. We asked the waitress for containers, and the waitress brought over a piece of aluminum foil and a very small container for my leftover soup and pupusa, which I barely ate. We looked at each other like seriously because we both knew that soup would not fit in that container. We asked her to please bring us a bigger container for my soup, and she literally asked if it didn't fit. She took the container back and threw the lid, bringing back a slightly bigger container. When we asked her for the check, she basically threw it at us, with no prices for what we ordered. Only the amount we paid. We've been there a few times when we want a soup, and the waitresses are always very friendly. Not today we were very disappointed.

The food was good! The only problem was the service they gave us at the time of our bill, they did not want to give us a receipt specified as to how each dish came out, even adding everything up we did not understand where the extra charge they were making came from and what they told us was that each dish had a different percentage, this did not make any sense since we only consumed food without alcoholic beverages, and once they charged us the received request for a gratuity bone tip, the problem was that the tip was already included and they had not told us and When we asked them, they denied it, so we insisted that they give us a detailed receipt and there was the included gratuity that they themselves had denied… be very careful when you go and when it comes to collecting money, don't be blatantly robbed! My family and I will not return to this establishment.

Bad service, they can't sell you a snail-only ceviche, so I only ordered 2 pupusas. I won't return to this place...

Place is too small ,Service was ok , food definitely not fresh and no taste, the octopus was hard like a rubber, and the bill is manually written no breaking down for charges which is it’s weird cuz they can put any prices with any % of taxes, anyway I don’t recommend there is a better places around the
