    We used to come here back in 2019-2020 and they used to be really good. Unfortunately, they started…read moreadding potatoes to their pupusas. When I brought this up to them, they initially denied putting potatoes in them, and then the next time stated that that's the way they've always made them... I've never seen potatoes in pupusas prior to this. It was most likely a filler since cost, but they also raised the cost to almost double, and taste declined. 1/10 do not recommend. Best pupusas are at Mi Chalateca if that's why you're here.

    Never had Salvadoran food, but if this place is my introduction to it... I'm pretty sure I'm up for…read moremore now! A friend of mine recommended this place, and I've seen a few recipes of pupusas but never had them so I decided to try them before I tried my hand at making them. How do I describe these pupusas? They were like...these wonderful, corn based flat breads, with fillings of whatever your heart desires. I had the chicharron and queso (pork skin and cheese), and the queso and fajitas (cheese and beef). And ohmygod. So so good! My favorite was most definitely the queso and fajitas, but the chicharron had its own perk too. It also came with chips and queso, bean dip, salsa, and two different sauces. One was a hot sauce - which was terrific, not super spicy and hit the right flavor. And the other was tomato. Mix the queso and the hot sauce my friends - you will thank me later when the chip you eat is bathed in a glorious mix of the two. The pupusas also came along with this fermented cabbage relish which I found out was called curtido. And man. That relish...if I didn't stop myself I'd have heaps of it without a second thought. Anyway - all in all, fantastic service and even better food. Price is definitely affordable, so go on ahead and try this place out!

I tried all of their $1.50 street tacos, all heavy with meat, and a lil greasy in a good way. Aasada, al pastor, chicken, descada and chorizo. The latter two were my favorites -- stewed and off the chart flavorful. Al pastor was the next best, not as wet as some styles, and had good flavor. Chicken pulled, seasoned and pan crisped, tasty with their creamy green salsa. Carne asada was overflowing with meat, but it was a little grainy and were large round chunks, not like I'm used to. But it was super seasoned, on the salty side, still pretty tasty and super filling. I also had a very warm Champurrado, or Mexican hot chocolate. Great flavor, and perfect for a cold day. Cost was $2 served in a cute ceramic cup. Dining room is fairly clean, tables wiped, but the chairs are a bit stained and sticky. It is a bit of a hole in the wall, so expect very casual, fast casual counter service. Market has a lot of imported packaged goods, but they are priced a little high and thus sit on shelves a while. There is also another counter where they serve Mexican ice cream, popsicles and other snacks, along with a decently stocked panaderia case. I read some Google reviews, with comments about the two girls commonly working here and I think they're being targeted unfairly. Both were very friendly to us and helpful where they could be, but varied on their English ability. I was very impressed with the food so far, and I'll surely be back.
