Papusas were delicious and made fresh to my order. I got pork and cheese, and the pork had a nice flavor. Friendly service and fair pricing!

We finally gave this place a shot, and wow! I hadn’t eaten pupusas in a while and totally forgot how good they are. My wife and I each got two, and I would have ordered more if my wallet wasn’t screaming, “No more, please!” I’ll definitely be coming back just for pupusas to go. Those things might be my new food obsession.

The plates we got were okay but nothing amazing. My wife got three loaded chicken tacos, and I had the fried chicken with plantains. The chicken was a bit dry, but the plantains were really good. The waitress was super nice and explained some of the menu since it’s mostly in Spanish. Without her, we would have been totally lost. Also, the menu is huge, so we took a while to decide.

The place itself is small and crowded with tiny tables, but that is exactly the kind of vibe you get at an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. The chef (and owner?) checked on us a couple of times, and you could tell he really cared about us liking the place. That kind of attention is rare.

It’s a bit pricey, especially for lunch. So like I said earlier, your best bet is to get a bunch of pupusas at $3.49 each. Honestly, three or four of those would have been filling enough and cheaper than the big plates.

Bottom line: Pupusas are the real stars here!

So good! I will be back!

The food is good and very well priced! I had horchata, which was tasty, and pupusas with pork and cheese. I think the meat could have used a little more seasoning, but salsa was provided to put on top, which was good. The waiter was very friendly, and the atmosphere was calm, with just a few other people there for lunch. Would recommend!

Food is always amazing

When asking about some dishes or drinks the response I got was rude.
We ordered fish tacos and pupusas
I don't recommend the tacos and the pupusas were good

The inside isn't fancy, but the food is delicious. Far better than most places. I ordered a dish that had fried plantain on the bottom with lettuce and dressing and topped with fried chicken. It was the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Amazing!!!! And it's very affordable. The place stays very busy, so if in a hurry it's not a great choice. Food is made to order and once you order, it can take 20 minutes or so.
