The food here was very good tasting and authentic. We had the pupusa (pork, chicken, cheese, & squash) and the carne asada plate. The food was fresh and very well pieced. The service was a bit slow but very helpful and friendly. We also HIGHLY recommend the horchata. All around great place to eat, it's a must try for those searching for Salvadorian and Ecuadorian food. read more

Their food is delicious! I usually get pupusas or tacos and they hit every time. the masa is soft and the cheese is gooey. The service is good also they don't pester you but make sure you're taken care of. Ambience could use a little bit of work on normal days but when it's busy and it's full of families you definitely feel a vibe. The only thing I'd change is consistency sometimes I get less meat in my taco compared to other days. I would recommend this place for sure. read more

We ordered this for take out with Door Dash and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have posted pics but since it's take out, the photos are not as good as the pics other people posted. But everything was wonderful! Love the different flavors. I got the Chile poblano and was expecting just cheese inside, but this came with a mix of meat, veggies, and cheese. I was a little disappointed to see this since I was expecting just cheese only, but it was a wonderful surprise and a totally different flavor than what I was expecting. Food was excellent and fresh. I called to ask about some ingredients since I have some food allergies and the lady was so kind and helpful to make sure if it had any ingredients I was allergic too. I will definitely be back to try new things here! read more

Very authentic, the food is outstanding. Had fried yucca and it was good. Also had pupusa, my favorite is beans And cheese, also had a warm corn drink. Very friendly and pleasant dining experience read more

This place is spot-on phenomenal! This was my first taste of Salvadoran and Guatemalan cuisine, and I'm going to be back! We got a quesadilla and some assorted pupusas and everything was incredibly fresh tasting. I was a little uncertain of the very thin salsa, but it was extremely flavorful! The slaw was awesome too! read more

Definitely hole in the wall place. Place is small and unprepossessing. My friend got the banana, papaya, strawberry smoothie and she loved it. The salsa with the chips was thin and spicy. We got a side of guacamole which was fresh as red lightly spiced. I got the seafood soup which was great. My husband got the beef tacos which he liked. My friend got the carne asada which she found a little salty. We liked our food and it was fun to try Salvadoran cuisine. read more

I walked over here with a hankering for pupusas. Revuelta pupusas are usually my favorite; this one was good, but the loco flower was better. Either way, my craving was fulfilled, and it got treated with a banana smoothie, too! It was yummy. I ate in a booth watching Telemundo soap operas and munched on red, green, and white tortilla chips in a chunky yet watery self serve carafe of super garlicky salsa. The service was exactly as expected from this hole in the wall of deliciousness. Didn't come here for customer service. I'll be back. I'm a sucker for El Salvadorian food. Plus I had chips and salsa, a smoothie and 2 pupusas (I ate half of each so I have leftovers), and with tax and tip I got out for about $8 (more than 20% tip). read more

This review is based on 4-5 visits over 2015-16. What a wonderful surprise this place is...! The tamales are good. The tacos are fine: meat, cilantro, etc. The pupusas are really special though. Various types are available, and the cabbage slaw is fresh and delicious. Try a bean or cheese one as an appetizer if you're new to Salvadoran food. And if you want to treat yourself, ask about the seafood soup. It's about $15 (one of the priciest things on the menu) and comes in a bowl the size of a bucket, filled with mussels and shrimp and veggies and other treats. The crab is imitation, but it's still made of fish, so no stars deducted... I uploaded a photo. It was incredible. Final comment, on service -- the same waitress has been there every time we've visited. She is so kind and hardworking. She'll patiently answer any question you ask. With a smile. She is the kind of person who totally deserves a huge tip. (So if anybody rich is reading this, go do your thing...! If not, no worries; we'll keep tipping her +30% every time, because she totally earns it.) If you're bored with typical chain restaurants and want to support a great local business, brave the gas station parking lot and try this place. read more

The best papusas I've found in Fort Wayne! Looks can be deceiving since they are located in a gas station/laundromat strip mall, but well worth it. The staff is very friendly. Their slaw is to die for! read more

What an amazing little place. The best pupusas in town. If you're uncertain on what to get, get the "Traditional breakfast" (pic attached) you will not be disappointed! read more

A hole in the wall for sure. If you are not looking closely you will surely miss it. Do not go in if you are in a hurry...this is not fast food. Everything on their menu that I have tried has been amazing! The tamales are probably the best Ive ever had. read more

This place is so delicious. We finally got a chance to come here after reading amazing review after amazing review, and we're so glad we did, and can't wait to come back. Tortilla chips & salsa are great and never-ending. Papusas are fresh and flavorful - I highly recommend them! Quesadillas are also fresh, so delicious. I would like to go back and try some more authentic Mexican / Spanish recipes. We were stuffed and happy when we left with our box of leftovers! I'm knocking a star off for the atmosphere. I don't mind it's location (next to a gas station), and our table was very clean, however, the carpet in there is such an eyesore. It's stained, so even if it is clean, it doesn't look like it, and that's a little off-putting when you're eating. The server we had was extremely nice, answered our questions about the food and made genuine conversation with us. We will be back!! read more

Love this place! Wonderful homemade food. Get the cheese pupusa, chicken tamale, and fried Yuka. You won't regret it. Also, the Salvadorian Horchata is the bomb. read more

We wanted to try Salvadoran cuisine. Had the soups.. Not impressed.. Probably won't be back... read more

Good food, but I watched the lone server consistently ignore our party to give great service to people who resembled her and spoke her native language. Thats a no go for me. We had to get up and chase her to get drink refills and our check. Also, the restroom was FILTHY! read more

You have to be brownto get service here and has a highto?erance for bathrooms. The food is not bad, if you an finally get someone e to take your order read more

The is a great place to eat. Everything seemed to be made from scratch. Very authentic food at a reasonable price. The one complaint was that all the Puposas tasted the same. I order three different kinds and could not tell them a part. That being said all three were great. The torta was good, and the sauces they make are fantastic. read more

Great pupusas and really friendly service! The Chile relleno is unique. We love it here!

To be completely honest I don't know the difference between Mexican and Salvadorian food. It's along the same lines, but obviously better. This place is the absolute bomb! It's within walking distance from my school and the best food around. Unlimited fresh chips out of the frier and amazing salsa, amazing selections of meat, and probably one of my favorite things, Jarritos. Yes the Mexican Pop! I had to beg my friends to try the place and now we will probably become regulars. In between a gas station and a laundromat you would never expect such great food at this little hole in the wall place. Service was not the absolute best, but the people are incredible nice and the food does come up pretty fast. New little favorite restaurant read more

This was my second time here and I'm glad I came. It was much better than my first time. My mom got the shrimp soup and it was served fresh and hot. Plenty of large shrimp and chunks of potatoes and carrots. Half of a lime to squeeze into it is served on the side with fresh tortillas. It was flavorful and that broth was amazing. I got the pupusas and they were so soft and fresh served with a creama sauce that is very good and a slaw that is ok. Their chips are store bought and not fresh. The salsa is decent but not the best. I also ordered the green corn tamale not realizing it was a dessert. It's served with a crema sauce as well. It was sweet fresh and hot. Good ending to a great meal. The food does take awhile to come to your table. Two reasons for this and why no one should complain; 1) there's only one cook and 2) the food is made when you order it. I'd def suggest going. read more

The pupusas were not that good, the pico de gallo was bad. And we also ordered a bistec, it was dry and hard not soft meat. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

I first tried to have lunch here on a Monday however it was closed. Can't blame them. They are open the other 6 days a week. I returned the following day with my two daughters. It was exactly what I thought it would be: Good home cooking and a family environment. I had the chile relleno it was by far the best I ever had. The rice was fantastic. One daughter had a spicy chicken dish (don't remember the name) and she enjoyed it. The other daughter had a hamburger (oh well) which was so big she could not finish it. The girls ended up taking most of their meal home. The tortillas I received with my lunch were out of this world. I advised my daughters that lunch would take longer than normal because everything was made from scratch. The only issue is that the place is so close to my office that I am afraid I might be there every other day. The portions are generous. Go for it !! read more

This quaint little place next to the gas station has delicious tacos. They are really quick, and affordable. I hope to go back and try something else soon since its right by my work. read more

Awesome papusas best I have had since we left California. Very clean and prices are great!

Wow, what a find! We discovered that we love pupusas while on vacation last summer, but we haven't been able to find another Salvadoran restaurant until now. I ordered 3 different pupusas, all delicious, and my husband had something like "my country steak" - also very good. I also ordered guacamole which was the absolute best chunky, creamy, fresh guacamole we've ever had. The chips were fresh and crunchy, not greasy like many restaurant chips are. The waitress and another young gentleman working with her could not have been nicer or more accommodating. I changed my mind probably 3 times while ordering but she just smiled and laughed. We live over an hour away from this restaurant, but planned our Saturday date to eat here after visiting the cathedral just down the street. We'll definitely be returning as soon as we can! read more

This place is always good. I have some food allergy issues. They are usually good and sometimes miss. This is why 4 and not 5. The food is awesome and quick. Two papusas and two tacos for under $7. Always a good value with different options than the norm. read more

Nothing fancy about the decor. Pictures of Central America on the walls. The service was exceptable. The food was very good. This was my first time trying Salvadoran food, so I didn't know what to really expect. I'll go back. read more

The food was exquisite! I had la sopa de camerones and a mixed fruit smoothie. They both had great flavor and tasted very fresh. The meal was very affordable at $10.80. The only thing keeping me from rating this a five star was the strip-mall, pizzeria ambiance. Definitely consider this place if you are looking for great, affordable food more than a dining experience. read more

Excellent authentic food. Mom-and-pop owners very, nice people. All food is made from scratch, highly recommended! I wish this place was in my town. read more

We were staying downtown at the Courtyard and wanted to give a new experience to our extended family. We threw them off a bit as we showed up with about 12 in our party. However, they were very accommodating and pleasant. Over half our party had never had El Salvadorian food before but everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Most of us got the papusas which were fantastic with the slaw and sauce. We all left full and very happy. read more

First I'd like to say this is NOT Mexican food, the name of the place should be self explanatory. Now to the review, it's a nice little place the inside is a little bland but the food is quite nice Pupusas are great if you ever have the chance to try them, they have a variety to choose from and we come rather often to buy them. Very good and one of a kind read more

Love this place...the pupusas are amazing been looking for a place here since ive moved from nyc... all they need enchiladas y pasteles salvadoriano read more

This is as close to the real deal one could find outside of the country of El Salvador! Large, well made pupusas and the best pork tamale I've ever had. Plus the Salvadoran Horchata is a must. Tables filled as we waited for our food and numerous people waited for to-do orders but the one cook and one waitress kept things going very quickly. Reasonable prices. Don't let the exterior or location fool you! Best Latin American food in town! read more

Love this place! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, authentic. I make sure I come here every time I visit Fort Wayne!

Wow...what a surprise. I had never tried Pupusa's before and this was the perfect place to try this delicious creation. I had the bean and cheese pupusa and wish I had ordered extra to take home. The tamales were fantastic too. I am used to Mexican tamales but these had a unique flavor because of the leaf that was used as the outer wrap and the chicken had the perfect blend of spices in it. We also ordered the dessert fried plantain with vanilla custard and wow that was a treat. read more

My husband and I went here for lunch after many months of driving by it. I am glad we did! It is not fancy inside, it has some tables and a few booths. There were about 3 tables and 3 booths occupied. We received multi colored chips, and while the chips were not hot, they were fresh. The salsa was on the thin side but had a really good flavor. My husband ordered 4 of the papusa-mix papusas. They are round, flat soft tortilla-like things stuffed with cheese, beans and pork. While there was not a ton of filling, they were very good. 4 were more than he could eat. I ordered the steak with onions. It was not spicy at all. It was a marinated steak cut in strips and was very good. It came with rice, beans and 2 of the flat tortilla-like things without a filling. The rice was not "Mexican" rice, but was better. It was made fresh - not warmed up in a microwave. The beans were good as well, but I did not care for my tortilla things - they were a little doughy. Perhaps they are supposed to be that way? I also could not finish my meal. We also ordered 2 soft drinks and the bill was only $20.00. Service was good, even though there was only 1 waitress. We will definitely be back as both the price and food were good. read more

Food was tasty, service was good. Will return!
