Best pupusas! And amazing breakfast!
Delicious food and super kind people what else could you want? Try the desayuno tipico!! Meat is seasoned perfectly and their homemade sauces are so good. Bad reviews seem to be expecting a Cheesecake Factory atmosphere, this spot is far better.

Awful! Broken containers that look like they have been eaten by mice, food was leaking into my bag.
They guy tried charging me extra and when asked about the menu prices he told me the extra is “tax.” Fortunately, I can do math and 8% of $10 is not $2.96. Very rude and shady place.
Oh, I ate roast beef and the meat was in bad condition.
Very tasty food. The food came out quickly.

Very clean and Professional Service good food and plenty of it thank you
Horrible experience, they charged me 42 dollars for 2 orders of pupusas and I called asking for an explanation and they cut me off. I do not recommend!!'
For this they charge you 19 dollars, it seems unfair to me
Sir, it seems that they have lost their minds by charging me 17 dollars for a soup, when you buy it for 10 dollars anywhere.

The truth is I don't have anything good to say. On Saturday I ordered an order of golden chicken tinga tacos but it was no longer good, it had a bad taste. Maybe they don't check things before making them. And yesterday I ordered a mojarra and it had no flavor, they didn't put lemons in it and they didn't put tortillas in it, supposedly they put salad and only tomato ?
The food here is no longer the same since there was a change in ownership. Prices increased and food quality decreased.

I recommend that when you go you order shrimp ala diabla and also the famous baleadas which are like egg quesadillas with beans, a dish originally from Honduras and very delicious.
Kid-friendliness: Yes there are game machines and they also sell snacks for children
Wheelchair accessibility: First floor there are no stairs

Like most Guatemalan restaurants, this corner joint has an identity problem. It doesn’t know if it is Guatemalan, Mexican, Honduran or Salvadoran. All of that’s on the menu and Guatemalan gets overshadowed. I honestly think most Guatemalan restaurant owners are afraid that people won’t come if they don’t serve Mexican food. I think precisely the opposite is true. People are fascinated by Guatemala and would love an authentic experience. As is , they ought to call themselves “South of the Border, North of the Canal, but Nowhere Specifically In-Between”. Seriously though, I think if this family made a point of serving just serious, home-cooked Guatemalan food that more people would come, and from further away. They got someone in the kitchen who knows what they’re doing.If you want home-cooked style, pan-national Latin nomad food, then you’re in the right spot. But if like me, you were here with your homesick, Guatemalan expat squeeze, wanting a taste of his grandma’s kitchen from abroad, you’ll be a little disappointed. The food wasn’t bad. Some things were a little bland and others a little salty. (Quantity made up for quality. It was lunch the next day too). The tortillas were authentic handmade Guatemalan, which is a big deal. But it didn’t quite scratch the itch for a little taste of home.
