    The pupusas were delicious, and the yucca and plátano was yummy too! My tummy is happy to be full of Central American goodness!

    So glad to have found this great pupuseria! Nice variety of menu at reasonable prices and tasty…read morepupusas! I arrived there at night and for a second they were closed because their restaurant name sign was not lit, but they did have the "open" sign lit so I went inside. They have very minimal decorations inside- no music, just a TV on really loud. But many times this type of places are a hit than a miss! (Based on my experience) I ordered a few pupusas and tacos to go and was told the food would be ready in 10 minutes- however it took 35 minutes. it's okay if they are busy but I think they could have just told me at one point it would take much longer than expected. There seemed to be just two people working there. There was someone who was waiting longer than I was. It was very cold inside which did not help when I was waiting for so long. I was disappointed with the wait time, however the pupusas were amazing. The hot sauce and slaw(?) that came with them were great too. I especially liked the one with chicken and cheese. In the future I will always call ahead of time to place an order rather than waiting there, and I advise everyone to do so.

I…read morepump my gas plenty of times at this location but I guess never really noticed the restaurant attached to it. Was hungry and decided to stop in. It's a rather small place and I didn't expect much. I was greeted when I came and the young lady minding the front was very nice. My order was taken and I waited inside for it. The sounds of everything being made fresh in the kitchen area was reassuring. When I got my food, I was beyond satisfied. Quality fresh ingredients. Very tasty and presented well. I'm so glad u stopped by and will stop by again. Great job!.

The first Wednesday I showed up they told me it would be over an hour for my order. I didn't have an hour to wait. They gave me a business card and told me to order ahead of time next week. I called about 2:00 and ordered one of each of the variety that they have. I know there was cheese, bean, bean & cheese and meat. Well there are 6 to choose from and we tried them all. When I arrived at 5:00 to pick up my order it was ready. I paid and headed home to eat with my family. All 6 were in one container and I had no clue which was which. Some of them were very greasy. I had to lay them out on paper towels. The cheese was my favorite. There is a small dining room and a full menu. But on this visit we just tried the special.

They were busy at lunch with eat-in and carry-out orders. The parking lot was full. But we're we're able to get a table for two. When we came in, they called out their English speaking server, Karla. Karla was supper friendly and attentive. I had two of their special pupusas. They were served with limes, sauce and curcido, which is a spicy marinated cabbage mix. The shrimp pupusas is stuffed with bits of shrimp mixed with a generous amount of creamy cheese. The chicken pupusas was filled with a lot of chicken and small amount of cheese. Both pupusas were excellent. I also had a chicken taco, which was a pretty standard Street taco. The chicken was moist and yummy. The restaurant and parking lot could use some love. The dining room could use a coat of fresh paint and have ceiling tiles repaired. The parking lot needs to have potholes fixed and could use some lines. That said, I'd come back in a heartbeat. The food is that good.

Our visit was during the 8am breakfast scene and we enjoyed a feast of pupusas, curtido, beans, yucca, plantains and chicharrones. All were hearty and delicious. The space is full of natural light and welcoming. We noticed that you can order fresh smoothies thanks to their partnership with the juice/ice cream shop next door (or possibly owned by the same folks?). The staff was also incredibly friendly and we loved the opportunity to only speak Spanish during our visit. Can't wait for our next visit!

The dining room is filled with mismatched table cloths and chair covers, but neat. Salvadoran music plays softly. Alex, our host/server was laid back and told us to sit anywhere. There is a sign that says menu prices may be actually different than stated. The menu offered a number of Salvadoran specialties. The prices were very reasonable. I'm told the corn tortillas are made fresh! The complementary chips were a bit stale, but I could tell that they were made in house. The salsa was tangy and good. I had Chicken Papusa with rice and beans. The papusa was freshly made, hot and delicious. The black beans were great. My husband had a beef burrito, which looked amazing and huge. There was a delicate cheese sauce on top and the cilantro sauce that accompanied the burrito was delicious. The food is very good. There is plenty of parking.

I ordered the Enchilado de Camarones with fried sweet plantains and Moro rice. The shrimp are prepared in a Cuban Creole sauce with mild spices. The fried plantains tasted sweet and awesome.

The food is absolutely delicious. I personally love their pork dishes and the beef empanada for an appetizer. The moro rice as well as the yellow rice are both so tasty. I prefer the sweet plantains over the tostones, but that's just my preference. And don't forget to indulge in a dessert or maybe a Cuban coffee after your meal. I tend to bring my foodie group here regularly and while they are a picky bunch, I have not heard any complaints about the food here. The prices are still very reasonable and the service friendly.
