The place was busy during my visit (always a good sign), but I was seated right away. Service was excellent friendly, attentive, and patient while explaining some of the dishes on the menu. I ordered four pupusas: cheese, loroco with cheese, chipilín with cheese, and jalapeño with cheese. The loroco pupusa was outstanding, the cheese pupusa was classic and tasty, and the jalapeño pupusa had a nice mild kick. Chipilín was new to me, and while not my favorite, it was great to try something authentic. To drink, I had a fresh cashew juice that was refreshing and perfectly balanced not too sweet. I ended my meal with a coffee that was simple but really good. The atmosphere is colorful and family friendly, with murals inside and out that make the space feel authentic and full of culture. Parking is small but manageable. There was soft music playing in the background. It was great. I could have a nice conversation with family and enjoy the moment. On Fridays after 7 PM. They have a life show so it might get loud. Just keep in mind. I'm definitely coming back to try their soups, I've heard great things.

Would definitely go back to try more items on the menu!

I am a native Salvadoran so don't be fooled by the bad reviews from others, I'm a regular customer here because the service and quality of the food are one of the best, the owner makes sure she makes your food to the best quality standards in the food industry sanitation and food poising control certification is required for all cooks per owner's policy. The atmosphere and Interior of the building are distracting making you doubt about what you are getting to eat. But the dishes are made like if your grandmother cooked it. Prices are very low in comparison to others.

Second, no one here seems to speak any English. So using my limited Spanish and the art of pointing at stuff quizzically, I managed to order a hot pastry filled with meat. They also had something that looked like meat stew and tamales I think but who knows. They probably have some delicious stuff in the back too that isn't on display. It was cheap and so damn good! I'll be back to try some other stuff. Cash only!

I have had plain cheese pupusas before and was never a big fan, but we decided to take it as the staff was so apologetic and kind and we didn't want to wait longer for food.

I only wish the pupuseria was open later, especially on Fridays/Saturdays, but the food is always worth it! Note of caution: compliance to COVID precautions isn't the most consistent.

It actually wasn't bad being a delivery order either. I was worried about the lettuce but everything was really good. The papusas were good. I though there was loroco in the cheese though? Wasn't as flavorful as I am used to but still pretty good. I noticed there was a loroco papusa though... but is there cheese in it too? That's way I didn't get it. Maybe I will next time. The horchata is legit. So fresh! Definitely will be ordering again.

Great hospitality and service with great food and serving sizes, this restaurant is family friendly and budget friendly at the same time. Evenings are packed and colored with loud music and large screen TVs playing sports games from all over latin america. A total Central/South American vibe with a sports bar on the side.

I called for delivery and here the problems began. Beyond some slight hiccups with language barrier, the guy on the phone takes my order and tallies up the amount to over $10 of what I thought it would be. I go back tally up everything on my end and call back. Again he says that's the amount, actually $0.25 more this time. So I ask what gives? I ordered off the website. He replies "oh the prices have increased on some of the things." He tries to go through what has gone up, along the way Naming things that aren't even on my order. I have to correct him and get that straightened out. My main issues with this is of course, update your website to reflect price increases, and 2 I could've canceled the order but I didn't over this, you could throw me a dessert or something for my troubles? The food comes after another hiccup from the driver being a bit confused and passing the building. I don't get a receipt because I wanted to review what exactly costed what. The delivery lady won't let me keep the copy she has. So there's that. *Exhale* so the food... It was alright. Not the best of an authentic level place like this. The pupusas were good and would consider again but they didn't live up to the hype I thought they would. The Lomo de cerdo asado (pork loin) was waaaaay overdone and all dried up. Rice and beans were fine though as were the salads Included with the entrees. Chicharrones was ok as was the yuca frita. Then there was this red sauce that was packaged in a coffee cup and tasted like that $0.88 store brand pasta sauce. Very watery. Not good. Overall I wasn't really impressed by the service and food. Maybe dining in is the way to go here.
