This used to be a favorite place, but the quality was not good this time around. My papusa was hardly filled at all, and the rice and beans I ordered had maybe 1/4 cup of beans in it and maybe 1/2 cup of rice. There were no avocado slices on top like the menu described. It was in a large take out container, and I didn’t think to look at it when I picked it up. Such a rip off for $6! I am so disappointed in this place, and I’m not sure we will be going back. I’ll need to look elsewhere for our papusa fix.

Good place to eat pupusas. Pupusas here are a lot better than other places around utah County . but still, they are not the same as the real salvadoreans pupusas. I will say they are 6 or 7 out of 10.
the pupusas are bigger than normal pupusas, so you won't eat as many as you think.
the price is a little bit too much. $3.25 per pupusa. But still, you can get pretty full with 2 or 3 pupusas.

the salsa or the Curtido(cabbage) was a little bit spicy. I think they should offer a no spicy option for kids or for people who don't tolerate spicy.
will ai come back ? Yes

Just go somewhere else. The new ownership has ruin my experience. I have only been a few times since the new owners took over a few years ago. The food is just ok these days not like it was, the portion size is significantly smaller and cost to go there for me has more than doubled for the same items I have always gotten. This last time they now have beggars by entrance harassing everyone coming and going. It's sad what has become of this place.

The pupusas are delicous and good size. Not a fan of their Mexican food. I got enchiladas and they were pretty dry, the chicmen and in the sauce was lacking. Bit the pupusas were really good. I also liked their plantains amd bean plate. I would atick with the Salvadorean food part. We got seated pretty quick as it is a big place. Staff was nice, although did not come around much.

Yum-o food. It's very cold here though. Service could be better. They didn't check on us very much and the small table was cluttered with dishes that needed to be taken away. BUT I'd still come back!

Quality keeps declining after there was change in management. Tacos were passable. Tortillas were falling apart. The jamaica was incredibly watered down.
The pupusas are still great. Just about the only thing keeping me coming back.
