Such a great find, as the food here really hits the spot. The taco's pack a lot of flavor and the hot sauce lives by its name. The only drawback is parking, but that's 6th Ave.

I love the self-station for ordering. Made it easy. There are 2 rooms in the dining area and the 2nd one was quiet and cute. A great date spot. Delicious papusas.

Great flavor, value, and care! We ordered a couple a variety platters for a birthday party and everyone was impressed. From street tacos, to burritos, quesadillas, tortas, & their famous pupusas - it was all delicious. Grateful for this local gem!

For the price and the review rating on this resteraunt, I had expected a greater level than that of a mall Mexican resteraunt like Azteca. No hate to those types of resteraunts, there’s a time and a place.It’s fine. But wouldn’t do it again. The main flavor of all the dishes was salt.Ordered: a steak burrito, chorizo torta, spinach and cheese papusa, pork and cheese papusa.Couldn’t finish the chorizo torta, the salt level was EXTREME.

Small location, but the interior has a great vibe. The food is good, I had a burrito that was good, fresh taste has a salsa in it that was ok but not necessary. I also had a pupusa that was very good. Price was fair, and the staff was quick and friendly.

Our food and the staff were absolutely incredible. There was plenty of residential street parking. There were only a few tables but plenty of space for all six of us.

I ordered the spinach and cheese papusas, they were great and my leftovers reheated great on the stovetop for breakfast.Update: tried again, they now have veggie tacos/papusa combo, and they're great. Also, the teller/server was super.... Hospitable... I think that's the word I'm looking for. Anyway, felt like a regular on my second go and probably will be.

Based on the carnitas putacos and the rice and beans, the food is undeniably delicious. The flavor is amazing, the pork is succulent with just a hint of pan crisp every few bites. The whole pinto beans are a satisfying meal in themselves - tasty and soft without being mushy. The food is dreamy. But take it home unless you like plasticware, a chilly dining room, and cheap paper plates.
