The heat lamps were on in the enclosed area out front and they have cushions for the wrought iron chains and a shelf of blankets for customers to use. Complimentary Chilean bread rolls brought to the table right away with garlic herb butter, salsa verde sauce (chimicuri like) so good,made the old fashioned way with pork fat. Calamari Frito, Cajun seasoning,light and crunchy with a house made tarter sauce (excellent server brought us an additional tarter) Crab stuffed chili Relleno was a creative version of this meal I've eaten dozens of times,feta and a sweet sauce with the rock crab was delicious. Panqueque especial ,chorizo had a little kick but was cooled off by the pineapple and sweetness of the crepe. All baked together with rice,cheese,guac,veggie's on the side,this was a big meal that was packed with a savory mix of flavors,my favorite thing I sampled. Honey shirachi shrimp, jalapeno, bacon, pineapple,on slaw. Big shrimp,big taste in the sauce, excellent appetizer or can be ordered as a full meal. Fort Rock beer on tap ,live music,fun place and I will be back.

Everyone is so friendly and energetic. They really make you feel welcomed. The location is well decorated, spacious and clean. The pupusas are next level. 5 stars.

I was craving mofongo when I found this place. Cute & Simple inside, friendly customer service. The…read moreguy working the front was attentive. The Alcapurria masa was missing flavor even tho it had a beautiful fry on it. The meat inside wasn't bad. I was disappointed to not be given mayoketchup and the sauce was very runny, I didn't think it enhanced the Alcapurria at all. The yellow rice was also lacking in flavor, it needed more sazón or sofrito. And the cook on the rice itself was off but perhaps they had a bad batch that day. The Shrimp on the Mofongo was the best thing I had and I enjoyed the portion. The mofongo just needed more butter since the juice from the shrimp couldn't cover the whole serving. Overall I want to give them points it did help my craving of missing home, hopeful it was just an off day and they can hit with more sazón next time !

The Spot That Made Me Fall in Love with Pupusas…read more This is the place that made me fall in love with a pupuseria. My wife and I were out one day, decided to try something new, and found this gem up the street from our church. One thing I always look for with cultural cuisine is who's actually eating there. When you walk into a place and see people who grew up in that culture enjoying the food, it tells you everything you need to know about authenticity. This spot checks that box. It feels like the kind of food you'd get at a friend's house, not just something made to look the part. The staff was friendly and personable, which made the experience even better. Now, let me set expectations--this isn't the kind of place where your water glass is getting refilled every five minutes. But you can grab a soda or a horchata and you're good to go. The open kitchen is a big part of the experience. You can see everything being made, and more importantly, you can smell it. You start eating with your nose before the food even hits the table. You take it in with your eyes, and then your taste buds finish the job. I've recommended this place to a few people, and they've gone back again and again. That says a lot. If you like authentic food and want something that feels real--not staged--I think this could easily become one of your new favorite spots.

Amazing papusas. Some of the best I've ever had…read more Cheesy on the inside and crisp on the outside. These were heaven sent. Went with birria for one and carnitas for the other. The birria was so damn good. Carnitas was really good too, the meat was a bit hard at times. I came with a friend and after we ordered there was an almost 30 minute wait. I was getting a bit restless but the place was busy and the food is made fresh. We were also served tortilla chips with frijoles as a sort of appetizer while we waited. They serve beer here as well. Not the biggest restaurant but the server was nice and friendly. Restaurant clean as well. Would definitely be worth visiting again.

They have a sauce bar at the front that's self serve, and the aqua Fresca selection seems to change daily. Passionfruit mango guava Agua Fresca 5/5 it was super refreshing and sweet and tasted like real fruit! Carnitas Burrito 4/5 nothing special but it's huge, it is definitely filling, the ratio of meat to rice was good. Carne asada Chicana tacos 3/5 they were really salty. I'm not sure if that was a one day fluke because everyone else sees to like it in reviews, but it was so salty that I couldn't really eat all of the meat. Overall in Woodland, I would not go out of my way to come back here but if I am in town and craving Mexican food, I wouldn't mind stopping by again!

You can see and taste the care in every bite -- the masa is perfectly thick yet tender, with that lightly crisp exterior from the griddle. The chicken pupusa was outstanding: well-seasoned, juicy, and generously filled, with flavors that felt deeply traditional and comforting. Paired with fresh curtido and a bright, tangy salsa, it captures the true street-style experience -- simple, honest, and absolutely satisfying. The setting is modest and welcoming, which only adds to its charm. Service is friendly and efficient, and you can tell the food is made fresh to order. It's the kind of place where the focus is entirely on flavor rather than frills, and that authenticity shines through. If you're looking for real, handmade pupusas that taste like they came straight from a family kitchen, this little neighborhood gem is absolutely worth returning to.

I decided to open them all and they all looked so disgusting and were so slimy. I ended up throwing them away. Their tamales are extremely over priced for the quality. Don't waist your money on these.

When I arrived and got in line I received a nice smile from the lady working behind the counter taking orders. When I made it to the front of the line I ordered four revuelta and four pork and cheese pupusas to go. I requested both hot and mild salsa. Because they make everything fresh there is always going to be a short wait. This gave me the opportunity to see the dining room and rest room. Everything is very clean and the decor is very authentic and inviting. The pupusas are very tasty and the "hot" salsa, while not too spicy, is very flavorful and really accompanies the curtido nicely. The mild salsa tastes very fresh. I made sure I had cash to pay as I read in another review here on Yelp that they only accept cash, but they actually do take credit cards. So don't worry, if you're in the area drop by and give 'em a try. Cash or card will both work to pay the bill. I'll be back!
