    I'm giving an extra star for the nice waitress. But my cheese and loroco pupusa was crispy on the outside and the cheese inside didn't stretch. It wasn't melted. While it was a good size, that's not how a pupusa should be presented. I ordered a fruit salad drink. There was barely any chopped fruit. That's not what an "ensalada de fruta" drink should taste like. The music they play is salsa and somewhat loud for a restaurant. There is a full bar. The menu also has Honduran and Peruvian dishes. This is definitely not the place to have pupusas. There are plenty of other options in Southwest Houston.

    Huevos Revueltos Desayuno, Tamales de Elote, Carne Asada, all super delicious!

    Hole in the wall Salvadoran restaurant, they have awesome food! Very generous portions and tasty dishes, must try if you're in the mood for some homemade style Salvadoran dishes!

    Excellent authentic EL Salvadorian food! Great prices and generous portions. One of my favorite Central American cuisine spots!

    I went here with a group of friends during their happy hour, they do have complementary valet…read moreparking which was great because it's so easy to get overwhelmed in that area around that time on a Friday night. Our server was super attentive and he made sure that everyone's food and drinks came out at the same time even if someone came in later. I had the nachos with beef fajita and chicken, and I thought it was pretty good, it has the same set up as nachos from Pappasito's and my only complaint was that I asked for a side of sour cream to go and was charged a dollar for it. So if anything keep in mind that if you request an extra or even a condiment on the side, you might get charged a small fee.

    It's a very nice restaurant in midtown. Prices are actually…read morecheap according from my point of view. Portions are big too. The food was under average. 2 of us had the Tilipia dish and the flavor was good but it was super salty. If the chef cut down on the salt it would be excellent. The vegetables on the dish were nice. We couldn't eat the fish even though we asked for extra lime so we can squeeze on it. The shrimps dish was over cooked so the shrimps were too dry. The steaks were barely OK But the appertizers were good. We had pupusas and the plaintain Service was nice but we had to flag down the manager since our server was no where to be seen.

    The food was AMAZING and fresh. It came out in 10 minutes as promised. For $10 I had enough food…read morefor 2 people!!!

    I'll start by saying that the service there was great. The lady taking our order was really…read morefriendly. She answered my questions and was helpful with ordering. I went there due to seeing their instagram story about a $10 meal deal (2 pupusas, a pastelito, and a soda) but they had run out of pastelitos so I had to quickly choose something so I'm thankful that they were happy to help answer any questions. It's a small food truck located in the same parking lot with Fiesta off Paton and Cavalcade so there's no seating or real space to eat (unless you eat in your car). They're also honest about the wait time. They said it would take 15-20 minutes and they didn't go over their time estimate. I have only had pupusas a handful of times (I'm from a small town in WA state that only had Mexican restaurants since only Mexicans lived there, so don't judge ) and can say these were the best I've had thus far. They were freshly made and piping hot when I got them (I had to put the bag down from my lap because it was too hot) and remained so throughout eating them. The cheese was gooey and stringy and their salsa has a nice little kick to it. It wasn't greasy or too salty which is always a plus. I ordered the revueltas (pork & cheese) and added beans to them. They are HUGE so be mindful when ordering them (they also taste better the next day if you have any leftover). These were definitely worth the price. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks if I know where they sell good pupusas. Let's just say I'll be going in again (they're so close to me). I hope y'all enjoy.

    New favorite coffee/study spot in Houston! This place is (I…read morethink?) in Montrose area, and a gem with parking both in front (with spaces) and street parking available. The baristas/servers are so friendly, and the shop truly feels homey. Perfection for studying, with inside ample tables/chairs with nearby outlets as well as some comfy chairs and a couch. There's also a cute covered outside area which I'm sure I'll experience post summer time. They have a few yummy looking food options at a great price point - including tamales and baked pastries. I picked the chicken tamale as a light lunch - I got the most delicious chicken tamale I've had thus far, served with kettle crinkle chips and a tamale sauce to dip. There are many coffee/non coffee options. I opted for the iced horchata latte - agree with prior reviewers that this is delish. It is not too sweet and a great blend of vanilla and cinnamon that masks the espresso. The atmosphere here is cozy but focused, with a mixture of people working/studying and hanging out. 10/10 will be back.

    Campesino is one of my favorite cafes to study at in Houston! There is ample seating, it is…read moreoftentimes very quiet (though if you do want to chat that is no problem at all) and the wifi is good. It is in a home-like structure with quirky furniture, but it makes me feel very much at home. The workers are also super nice and accommodating. The coffee is very reasonably priced and delicious. I always get their Horchata Latte---it is a perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon complements the espresso perfectly (and it's only $5.50)! They have a variety of other drinks and pastries too, that I haven't been able to try. I highly recommend coming to study/catch up with a friend. There's a lot of coffee shops in the Montrose area but this has been one of my favorite.
