It actually wasn't bad being a delivery order either. I was worried about the lettuce but everything was really good. The papusas were good. I though there was loroco in the cheese though? Wasn't as flavorful as I am used to but still pretty good. I noticed there was a loroco papusa though... but is there cheese in it too? That's way I didn't get it. Maybe I will next time. The horchata is legit. So fresh! Definitely will be ordering again.

The masa had amazing flavor and the chicken was melt in your mouth. The pupusas revueltas had good flavor but a bit dense. I don't have a lot of experience eating Salvadorian food but I was not a fan of the plantano relleno. They should explain on the menu what the items are because I was not expecting what I got. To me a relleno is filled with meat but this was filled with a sweet cream. . It's not for me but I won't penalize this place for that.

The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Even the radishes and cucumbers as garnish was fresh. I'll be back again. I love finding local spots with great food!

Stopped by here because we were passing through on a road trip and wanted something more…read moreinteresting than fast food or diner food, and what a good choice! This little homey Latin food spot felt like it came out of Queens NY and not a suburban NJ town. Service is pretty informal and the woman working when we went wasn't totally fluent in English, but she was so warm and we didn't have any hitches with ordering. We went on an off-hour on a weekday so they were apparently out of most of their entrees except for a selection at their hot bar, but the pupusas were still available and that's what I wanted anyway. I ordered a loroco and revuelta pupusa plus a baleada just because I hadn't tried one before. The pupusas were hot and fresh and absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside and oozing with cheese on the inside. They came with a little slaw/salad and a delicious red sauce that I liked so much the server got me a second bowl and I cleaned both up! The baleada was sort of like a quesadilla with beans and eggs rather than cheese in a flour tortilla, which was alright but the pupusas just blew it out of the water. I also had a bit of the bistec encebollada, which was tasty and tender and a super generous portion. The food was super affordable for the portions and quality, and they do accept credit card. Really happy we stumbled upon this place, and would recommend anyone coming through town or working in the nearby offices check this spot out!

The place was busy during my visit (always a good sign), but I was seated right away. Service was excellent friendly, attentive, and patient while explaining some of the dishes on the menu. I ordered four pupusas: cheese, loroco with cheese, chipilín with cheese, and jalapeño with cheese. The loroco pupusa was outstanding, the cheese pupusa was classic and tasty, and the jalapeño pupusa had a nice mild kick. Chipilín was new to me, and while not my favorite, it was great to try something authentic. To drink, I had a fresh cashew juice that was refreshing and perfectly balanced not too sweet. I ended my meal with a coffee that was simple but really good. The atmosphere is colorful and family friendly, with murals inside and out that make the space feel authentic and full of culture. Parking is small but manageable. There was soft music playing in the background. It was great. I could have a nice conversation with family and enjoy the moment. On Fridays after 7 PM. They have a life show so it might get loud. Just keep in mind. I'm definitely coming back to try their soups, I've heard great things.

I came here in a pinch for some Pupusas since my usual spot…read morePupuseria el Guanaco. I wasn't sure what to think of the place. It's a little run down. There was one woman behind the counter when I arrived but the restaurant was otherwise empty and deserted. It looked like like no one had been there all day. There's also no set menu apparently as the hot dishes rotate daily. I was there for the pupusas so I didn't focus too much on their hot food. They offer bean and cheese, plain cheese, loroco and cheese and pork and cheese. Each pupusa was $3.75. The owner made the pupusas fresh to order. I told her I was going to the bank so I could pay in cash since I was short on change. I was a little off put when she asked me to leave what I had in the meantime so she could start on the order. I said "like a deposit?". I guess some people order and then don't return? I assured her I would be back to pick up the food. She seemed almost relieved when I actually did return with the money. The pupusas were actually pretty good and tasted fresh. They're not as good as my usual spot or as heavily stuffed. These felt more snacky and less meal sized but still a fine substitute. They came with curtido and salsa. The curtido wasn't great but I liked the salsa.

Wonder if they can keep the doors open long at those prices though, most places that I've see that cheap don't make it so would expect an increase or a closure soon.

It looks more like a takeout place, but it's got seating if you wanna stay in and eat. I got four revueltas pupusas (2 fish, 2 meat) and a plain corn tamale. The pupusas were super hot and fragile, so I had to eat them with a fork and knife instead of like a taco. They were very good, especially with their green and red sauces. The red sauce had a decent amount of heat, but i liked the clean flavor of the green sauce more. At less than $3.00 per pupusa, it's a cheap, tasty, and filling meal. The tamale was like an under cooked cornbread. The sour cream on top helped bring out the sweetness of the corn. Good spot for cheap eats
