    This is beautiful and the most amazing place. I love the atmosphere we like to come therefore birthday celebrations but this time we celebrated New Year with them. It was quite an amazing show. They had life music and lots of dancing happy people and great food. Also we quite often offer via Uber at dinner from this restaurant. I like it and highly recommended.

    I'm really glad I tried this hole in the wall. Yes service is slow and yes the place is small and…read morethe parking lot being packed yet despite these misfortunes I would still want to come back and try other dishes. Be prepared to wait for your food. It felt longer than most but the taste was good and everything blended well. I had the huevos eatrellados breakfast. The sauce to it was whatever and not much taste to it but combining it with the beans, plantains, cheese and sour cream, took me back to childhood. The pupusas were quite exquisite and can't deny the flavor that came out of the curtido. It was just right. I would hope that the pupusa had more of the ingredients but still hella good. I like mine with a little crisp to it so if you don't like it that way you might not like it at all.

    This spot feels like visiting your aunts house, it's a little cluttered, the television playing…read moretelenovelas and the phone ringing with expressive conversations. It's warm, inviting and very quaint. I consider this to be a little taste of home away from home. I absolutely loved the pupusas from this spot! They're freshly made and prepared to order so it may be a little bit of a wait. This is pretty standard for all pupuserias though. If you're not into waiting, call ahead. No need to be rude about it, it's apart of the craft! The food is perfectly delicious and the fillings are very fair in portioning. It's affordable and made for everyone to enjoy. The horchata is KILLER! Perfectly fragrant and very rich. Perfect way to wash down the meal. Value 5/5 Parking 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 Service 5/5

They have remodeled their seating area so more people can fit and dine in. I decided to get a breakfast plate since it was still morning. I went with their "huevos Rancheros" that is served with refired beans, cream, cheese and fried plantains. I asked for a side of bread which was nice and toasty upon arrival. The plate's presentation was simple yet served neatly. The only downside was their refried beans seemed to be on the watery side but still tasted good. For my drink, I went with a hot coffee. Refills are offered for people dining in. The times I have visited, the place has not disappointed.

    Traditional Salvadorean Cuisine in the SFV!…read more Our first time trying Salvadorean food at this family owned restaurant in Reseda. Carlos gave us some great recommendations so we ended up trying pupusas for the first time. It's made with a homemade corn dough. It's thicker than a regular corn tortilla and stuffed with ground pork and cheese. They have a variety of fillings. You can add salsa roja, a flavorful tomato-based sauce or habanero sauce. Served with Curtido, a tangy, fermented cabbage slaw. So crispy, cheesy and filling. It came burning hot - I could barely hold it. But, I would definitely order this again! We tried Desayuno Típico, a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, which came with casamiento (beans and rice mixed together), Salvadorean style chorizo, fried plantains, 2 eggs, avocado, fresh cheese and Salvadorean style sour cream and homemade corn tortillas. Tip: Bring Cash. 4% to use credit card

The servers welcomed you in like family and treated you as such. I felt very welcomed and would definitely come back for another breakfast combo it was delicious and for 15 dollars. Not bad at all.

    If you're craving authentic Salvadoran comfort food made with love -- this is the spot!…read more The pupusas were perfection -- handmade, and stuffed generously with rich, savory fillings. I got the beans one, soooo good! Crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside... chef's kiss. Paired with the fresh cabbage salad and salsa, every bite was full of flavor. The pan con pollo was just as amazing -- tender, well-seasoned chicken with fresh veggies and bread that soaked up all the goodness. So hearty and satisfying! And don't skip the atole -- warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It felt like a hug in a cup You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every dish. Portions are generous, prices are great, and the overall vibe is welcoming and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal away from home. 10/10 Highly recommend if you love flavorful, authentic Salvadoran food.
