amazing pupusas and so cheap

My friend and I were really hungry after a long hike and were looking for a simple place with quality and affordable food. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. The servers were very friendly, the food was delicious and inexpensive. Just a heads up, they don't have a liquor license. Definitely give this place a try!

This place is wonderful. You get a lot of food! The decor is beautiful too, with decorative table cloths, bamboo, and incredible paintings on the wall. Andrea was our server and she was very nice.

It’s an instant favorite!

The only reason for 4 stars is they had some pretty disturbing movie on the tv screen. It was gory and terrifying. If you don’t want to see the tv, sit near the back! We’ll do that next time.

So hubby and I are always looking for small, quaint, reasonably priced restaurants to venture out too on our weekly excursions. Unfortunately, I haven’t had anything to really write about up until yesterday. This little mom and Pop joint is the bomb at first when you walk in it’s small yet clean has some unique decor and I was confused as to whether it was Salvadoran or Guatemalan. In any event as soon as we walked in, we were serviced right away. The menus were simple, but had quite a bit of intriguing dishes to choose from. I ordered a dish containing skirt steak, beef rib, pork and shrimp. It was out of this world. The portions were hearty and the meal itself was on point. Don’t even get me started on the Pupusas 🫓 HOLY SMOKES, they were amazing! I’m a Pupusa connoisseur, so they had to come correct and that they did. Hubby wasn’t feeling too adventurous and ordered a hamburger and fries which he said was pretty good. The hamburger automatically came with avocado, onions, lettuce, and bacon, simple yet right up his alley.
If you’re in the area and looking for a quaint yet, flavorful mom and Pop joint definitely stop by this place.
I usually always have a negative because I like to keep it real, But I really don’t have one. Ok, the hot water in the bathroom doesn’t work, but they had soap and a nice painting on the wall that made up for it. Definitely check this place out!

The nicest family owned restaurant: you won't find friendlier owners or waitresses anywhere. Real attention to detail with each dish. Start to finish an enjoyable experience. Food is always fresh and hot: perfectly prepared. Delicately fried, light blond French fries which are hard to come by and healthier (less acrylamide). Excellent, light to mid brew coffee (same: less acrylamide) that is gentle & low acid: Jamaica, tamarindo, Horchta (my preferred moro seed composition (not rice)). They have very recently (Spring 2025) SUBSTANTIALLY increased the items on the menu with larger, more dinner-like platings added recently.

You could blindfold yourself and point at any item on the menu, and STILL not go wrong.

[Bathrooms could be a better.]

Food: for the price and flavor 10/10
Service: a couple of misunderstandings due to language barrier but they accommodated us each time.
Atmosphere: clean, bright, and friendly service
Overall: Reason this place is not a 4.8 for me is due to the bathroom only having cold water with no paper towels stocked in the bathroom or toilet paper holder for the tp. We’ve been two days in a row

The “Specialty of the house” was amazing and so was the horchata. Beautiful decoration. Bathroom had no paper towels nor hand drier… music was loud.
