    The best cheesiest pupusas. Definitely going back here. Forgot the price but the price wasn't overpriced. The inside could be better, kind of looks like the place is about to close down. Lady was super super nice

    1 ordenas y pagas antes de sentarte 2 te asignan meza  ,3 platos de papel,4 tardan de 20 a 25 min.

    No recomendable, platos de papel para las pupusas , comes pupusa con papel. Tortillas no dan con los desayunos omg ,no gasten su dinero aqui, hay buena comida Salvi alrededor de HP.

    La pruviana plate. Porportion is very small the brown little cup are the beans . The rice is okay the meat has flavor but small piece size of a palm of you hand. definitely not worth 15 dollars plus tax. The meat was okay would not get again. Untill they fix the portion sizes. Not satisfied i give this plate 3/10 tortillas are handmade and thick so it was okay.. Now the ceviche was warm im guessing becuase they placed this on top of my plate wich steamed the ceviche so my husband was very upset we had to put it in the freezer for him to eat later so we ate off of my plate that literaly was cut u half like 5 bites lol.. he ate it after and said it had lemon but was missing cilantro or something he would not get this again that was 13 dollar plate . And the porportion was ridiculous it qas for only 2 tostadas very thin layer.. as you see in the pocture is how qe recieved it. This plate my husband rated 1/10 . Espcially the price and the amount of food given.. I will not be going back. The cashier mexican lady was very nice however i noticed a lady who worked there gave me this stare and definitely felt unwanted there.. not a nice feeling...

    Nasty ass place roach crawling on top of counter not comeing here anymore hamburger was salty

    a hand holding a piece of bread

    Las peores pupusas que he probado... de por sí me dan la orden mal, las pupusas de queso estan super delgadas y la mayoria de las pupusas estan con grandes espacios por dentro donde no tienen nada de chicharron ... el mejor lugar para ir a regalar el dinero ! Never back again

    A perfect ratio of cheese and chicharrón to mass, I hate when places are skimpy.

    Damn this place was insane. Can't wait to try the tasting menu!…read more The food was outrageously flavorful. These guys are masters of fish and I will remember this meal for a very long time. The location is also the definition of low key. Love how unassuming the spot is. Will absolutely be going back!!

    For a Michelin-recognized restaurant, our meal did not live up to the hype…read more Kanpachi & Uni Tostada: From the first bite, something tasted noticeably off. We both paused because of a strongly bitter lingering taste - the uni had spoiled. Spot Prawn & Scallop Aguachile: Two pieces of spot prawn and six little pieces of scallop swimming in a pool of a very tart lime-based sauce. While the shrimp itself tasted sweet, the scallop didn't taste like anything. The overall dish felt one-dimensional for the price. Ceviche de Rockot (Rockfish): More reasonable portion. Snappy texture. For a mild, sweet fish, this could have been a great canvas for creative flavors. Instead it's just lime-y like the prior dishes. While each dish looked aesthetic, they shared the same acidic flavor profile. I found myself wishing for more creativity and variety in the sauces and seasonings. The seafood quality also needs to be more consistent, especially when serving premium ingredients. Service: Order and pay at the counter, grab a table number, and the staff brings the food out. The restaurant itself is located in a shared casual dining space. Pay to park. I don't think the experience justified the reputation or the prices.

    En ingles- (yo no puede escribir en Espanol bien) , entonces, ingles!…read more The food here is awesome! Our family is half Nicaraguan and half German-Spanish. We grew up eating grandma's Nicaraguan dinners and this is as close as you'll find to five star fabulously prepared Nicaragua meals. I ordered my favorite, which is Lengua con tomates y gallo Pinto. It's sooo good. My mom ordered pescado, my gringa wife ordered pollo y carne, and my brother ordered steak con maduros, Fritos y papas.... They even have cacao y pinol. All sandy n grainy like grandma made. We have been to the few other Nicaraguan restaurants around. One over by Loyola high school off Olympic, funky location, difficult to get into. The Gallo Pinto in Azusa, which is an easier location to get into with a mix of Nicaraguan and Mexican food. And now we have found this location. And after enjoying all three, I will tell you that this food wise and service wise is the most authentic and flavorful choice. It is five star of Nicaragua food preparation. The only drawback is it's location, nothing you could do about that. My mom's in a wheelchair makes it a little bit challenging to get in because it's not ADA friendly. So plan ahead, use the bathroom before you get there. And be ready for one of the best Nicaragua dinners in the greater Los Angeles area.

The counter sells various goods and clothing. Costillas de cerdo frito: The pork ribs are sliced horizontally so there are round sections of bone in the long strips of crispy flavorful meat. Gallo pinto is at the core of the plate with red beans and rice cooked together with onions. The rice is firm and buttery. The beans are tender. You can also have them served separately. The fried plantains are sweet and caramelized on the outside with soft centers. The rest of the plate seems covered in a hill of crispy thin plantain chips. There's a triangle of fried cheese - tart, firm, and crumbly. Take the pitcher on the table and pour out some of the hot sauce. It is packed with diced pickled onions with a vinegary sauce. Nacatamales: This giant tamal is a breakfast staple typically served with a caffeinated beverage (like coffee or Coke). After unwrapping the banana leaf wrapper, the masa has an orange tint from the achiote paste. The masa is moist, soft, and gooey. Embedded in the huge masa is a grocery list of ingredients, including olives, bell peppers, rice, pork, onions, raisins, tomatoes, and potatoes. It also comes with a big soft fluffy bread roll. Parking: There is street parking.

    Was brought here by a friend as they knew I was a foodie and wanted to show me their favorite tapas…read morespot Downtown in the Fashion Distric for an early birthday celebration. Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

I still had a little room and was praying that this, the third place where I'd grabbed something to eat would finally show a little skill. They nailed it. The pupusas were piping hot and generously sized. The revuelta was good but surprisingly the queso y loroco was even better. I don't know what it was, but there was something about that gooey, salty cheesiness that I was really digging. And naturally the curtido left me wishing I'd gotten another pound or two of the stuff. Salvadoran coleslaw is so, so, so much better than American coleslaw. Oh, and I got to do my magic trick. I spoke to the guy in Spanish and he stood there dumbfounded. He paused, looking at me, scrunched up his eye and asked me if I was Hispanic. Did I have Hispanic fiends? How could I possibly speak Spanish so well. My Spanish is mediocre on a good day. The fact that he'd NEVER met a Whitie whose Spanish was as good as mine is honestly a bit pathetic but it was hilarious to watch the mental gymnastics as the guy tried to figure out how a White dude could possibly speak a little of his language. I got a little laugh and some VERY good food. That's just about perfect!
