“Great stop to dance a little. Beers are not crazy expensive. I got pique macho which I'm not usually a fan of but their steak is amazingly soft and tender. I definitely recommend that. The dance floor gets tight but usually everywhere else is the same. Service was ok just not as attentive as I'd expect.“

“This is one of my favorite bakery’s for sweet bread! I can’t stress enough at the fact that if you love Mexican conchas not every place makes them the same! I’ve trained different bakeries and this is my Number one for conchas! The softness and right amount of sugar and it doesn’t have the yeast, baking powder taste to it like in other places. So if you are looking for conchas they make them fresh every day, they are done by 1pm BUT they are so popular so they are gone by 6pm! So check your time! I’ve been coming here for a month now and every time I come they aren’t finished being made yet or they are gone already haha. Let me tell you the waiting game is sooooo worth my drive for it! Come get your conchas! They have other pastries and other kinds of pan dulce (sweet bread). Finally got my bag today so I can go enjoy a piece with my coffee ❤️“

“Came here on 8/20/26 I ordered the mixed fajitas. It was steak shrimp and chicken. It was good but there were only 3 shrimp. It was cooked perfectly. My friend ordered tacos and they looked really good, she said they were. She ordered some shrimp appetizer it was ok. The shrimp was cooked but looked pale. I didn’t get very good pics of the menu but most items are over $20. I recommend“

“I've been here recently and I have had their pupusa on multiple occasions. The quality matches the price (about $3 each, you can get them a la cart or a normal order is 3 pupusas). I'll admit I have had fancier pupusas, sure, but those are $6+ each at least and lets face it - when we want those delicious warm, gooey, filling bread pockets no one wants to waste money on fancy, you just want comforting, reasonably priced, and tasty. Something that leaves you sitting happy and fulfilled. This is that. This has become my new go to pupusa place.

Their salsa dip and spicy pickled cabbaged slaw (I think?) is also a perfect accent to the heavy pupusa, it cuts through the dominating cheese and beans is refreshing.“

“Id recommend dining in over takeout. Dine in pupusas are huge, takeout is small/regular sized. Tomato sauce is very watery, not very flavorful.
Salt level is perfect to me, service is usually fast. The tables chairs carpet could use an upgrade, very worn out/old. Plentiful parking. Bathrooms mostly clean.
Every time i do takeout, they always give me the wrong order. BUT they are more than willing to remake, for free of course. Just inconvenient when you get home and realize your pregnant wife is going to cry bc its not our order and now we have to go back and pick up hopefully our correct order.
I want to try the pollo pupusas but they say they mix in green peppers with the chicken. Idky they do that with only the pollo, i asked if it could be removed but they said no. so i only order classic pork and cheese. This time we recieved beans & cheese.“

“Adjust expectations entree by entree. Say yes to tacos, skip the ceviche unless you want something that is (admittedly okay) prepackaged. I don't have a benchmark to judge the rest of the entrees, but so far I've enjoyed their steak and papusas. The steak is fairly thin, tender, and the papusas taste pretty good with the pickled cabbage but could use a reheating if ordered for ubereats. Prices are good for the portions you get.

Only complaint is that the beef tongue is not consistently moist and tender.“
