    Hey....three tacos for the price of one at the "foofy" tsco shops.

    Believe the hype! The food is eye rolling good! The restaurant is quaint and has a small town feel. The salsa was wonderful. It was room temperature,bso I can't complain about it being cold. It was spicy and very flavorful. I had two or three bowls. Lol. I ordered the Fajita Ranchera (chicken), which came with a tiny salad, refried beans, rice, and tortillas. The ranchera sauce was amazing and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The refried beans didn't seem like your typical beans. The color was a cross between pinto and black beans and the taste was more flavorful than either one. The rice was a good cup size and it was ok. The tortillas were made just right, but I couldn't tell if they were homemade or not. They tasted a tad bit waxy, like the commercial brand sold in stores. My pineapple Jartitos was the cherry on top! Overall, it was a great meal and I left knowing I'd be back.

    I've been here a few times. I like the Pupusas, & Beef soup(only Wednesdays) Oh, & the Seafood soup is really good too. The other plate I've had was the grilled chicken breast, not a fan of it the chicken piece was small and the not much on the sides. Service is good. I recommend it.

    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.

    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.

Beware, they play loud Christian music. They have a small grocery store within the restaurant where you can find all types of Salvadoran products. I wanted a fruit drink and asked to try the cantaloupe juice first. It was artificial and too sweet. I'm glad I didn't order it. I was appalled when I saw the price of the fruit salad drink. It's $7.99. Who do they think they are? I inquired if they have a small size. They don't. I wonder how many folks purchase it. This is a low-income area. I got down to business and ordered a cheese and loroco pupusa. It was of course served with curtido (cabbage) and a tomato sauce. The pupusa was good but I've had better. The sauce was watered down. I would probably go back to have a pupusa if I'm in the area. But it's not my favorite place to have them.
