    Located in a parking garage in the Elizabeth Mini Mall, but don't let that fool you!…read more The entrance is a bit difficult to find.. it is reached from inside the parking garage. But once you find it, you'll be rewarded with some of the best Salvadoran food in Elizabeth! Parking is free in the lot, however, it is sometimes full. The restaurant itself is deceptively large. You first enter through the bar area, down a hallway, into the dining room which is quite spacious. Once seated, I was greeted and I ordered (2) pupusas especiales made with maiz, which is stuffed with pork, beans, and cheese. They were amazing and so far the best I've had in Elizabeth. They had the perfect fluffy and airiness, and clearly freshly made. The fillings themselves were great, as well as the curtido and salsa rojo. For $2 each, it was a steal, and many of the other dishes looked appetizing as well such as their homemade soups and typical plates. The dining room was pretty crowded for lunch time, which of course is a good sign. The service was extremely friendly and inviting and hope to return again!

    Great happy hour. $2 margs, mojitos...$1 extra for flavors, not the best drinks tbh, but for the…read moreprice you can't beat the deal. Service is great. The pupusas were amazing and so was the casamiento. However, empanadas were not good I'd pass. And the soup flavoring was top tier, but the carrots were still hard and the meat was a little tough, a little skimp on the works in soup tbh. I will definitely be back. Music was very good, I even danced with my daughter.

    Used to have great pupusas but last time I went I had a horrible experience. Pupusas barely had any…read morefilling especially the cheese ones. Their cabbage was white not pink. Service was non existent. Overcharged us and it smelled like sewer and cigars. Never going back.

    It's time to update my review considering my first review was based on take-out only and I've been…read morehere many times since. Um. Best pupusas in NJ? Yes. Still. And I've looked and looked and LOOKED. Every time I try a new pupusa place, I end up being disappointed with myself for being "adventurous" when I have already located the best. Best curtido too. Sometimes you go to these pupuserias and they have the pink curtido (what. is. that.) or they put jalapeños in their curtido (like, staaahhhp) - but not Willy's. Oh man, just talking about the pupusas here makes me want some and I'm currently on a diet, boo. But not boo for you if you're looking into this place because I'm telling you right now, don't think. Do. Now, as far as the dine-in experience, it's aiiight. Not amazing. The staff here doesn't speak English, so if you don't speak English, it will be difficult. On Sundays, they usually have Spanish karaoke going on in the dining room, so if you ain't into that - do yourself a favor and order pick-up. You will miss out on the chips and salsa you get when you dine in, though, and they are damn good. The staff isn't the most attentive and they can be a little fast - usually because they're also working as bartenders at the very busy bar on the other side of the dining room. However, I never felt completely neglected. Oh, they don't offer tap water and charge $3 per bottle. BOO. You're better off getting an agua fresca for that price (and it would be so worth it too). In my times here, I usually only get the pupusas, but the bf has ordered the churrasco and he loved it. OH! Also, the tamal de elote here is also the best I've had in NJ! Yummmmmmmy!
