muy ricas pupusas el precio muy bien el servicio mas que excelente gracias

Horrible experience, first there is no air conditioning, second it looks like a clothing store, pharmacy, that's the least the place is very small and the food is very salty, the very poor service takes a lot of false advertising the food too spicy did not recommend it and they take a long time to bring the food. The most important thing is the food don’t have a flavor you taste only the salt

Muy amables y tienen d todo y el precio es razonable .. si se las recomiendo
