    This plate right here is my absolute fav! I love this place but it does get busy often! The food is worth the wait though, you could never go wrong with this paired with their homemade horchata *chefs kiss*

    The customer service is disgusting and apart from that, it takes a long time to bring the food, the waitresses are arrogant.

    The pupusas are good and filling. The only problem is that they were pricey. We we charged different from what was listed on yelp.

    10/10 would recommend!! Got sucked out to LA for the day and found this little gem. It wasn't super…read morebusy which was great because we had the opportunity to meet Juan! Juan was awesome -- very informative, even shared a little history of Pupusa's :) Nonetheless, the service was great but the food ** chefs kiss ** was phenomenal! We got 6 pupusa's -- 2 Bean & Cheese, 1 Pork & Cheese, 1 Al Pastor & Cheese, 1 Garlic & Cheese and 1 Asada & Cheese -- the garlic & cheese was our favorite, but all of them were phenomenal! Thank you, Juan, for the experience! I will be back!

    I've been coming here since high school and I'm 24 now. The food was always really good, service…read moretypically welcoming and friendly but always expensive. We came a couple of months ago and had their loaded yucca fries with carne asada as well as some pupusas. The meat on our fries felt really low quality-- the best way I could describe it was it tasting like frozen hamburger meat-- and gave us indigestion for the rest of the night, which was really disappointing to experience. Today we unfortunately experienced some really rude service. My bf ordered a plain water and we were given a fresco ensalada (no big deal, he likes it) We don't eat pork and ordered fried yucca on its own, just yucca frita. We were given a plate of yucca con chicharron :( I told the service we just ordered yucca frita and we were told that we did not specify that for her. I explained that we don't eat pork so we sent it back and were met with a displeasing look. I said we didn't want to yucca anymore since we had a lot of food already and she said "the kitchen already made it." So I said it was fine but just the yucca this time and she came back with the same exact plate just without the chicharron-- no visible plate change. Needless to say for the price, decline in food quality, and rude service, it's not worth coming back. At least not for a while.

    My boyfriend is Salvadoran, so we're always on the hunt for great pupusas and yuca frita. We…read moreusually make the drive to North Hollywood, but decided to give this place a try--and it definitely did not disappoint! We started with the ensalada, which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. For pupusas, we ordered the revueltas, loroco con queso, and frijol con queso. We tried both corn and rice dough, and honestly, both were delicious. My personal favorite was the frijol con queso with the rice dough- so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The yuca frita was exactly how it should be: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicharrón was cooked perfectly as well, and the homemade green salsa that the sweet lady helping us made was the perfect addition. She was so kind, welcoming, and always had a friendly smile, which made the experience even better. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant is. It's spacious, with plenty of seating whether you're coming with a large group, your family, or just stopping by for a meal on your own. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. Next time we're bringing my Salvadoran in-laws- I have a feeling this place will get their authenticity approval too! Spanish! :) Mi novio es salvadoreño, así que siempre estamos en busca de unas buenas pupusas y una rica yuca frita. Normalmente vamos hasta North Hollywood, pero decidimos probar este lugar y, la verdad, ¡no nos decepcionó para nada! Empezamos con la ensalada, que estaba deliciosa, fresca y con el toque perfecto de dulzura. Pedimos pupusas de revueltas, loroco con queso y frijol con queso. Probamos unas de masa de maíz y otras de masa de arroz, y las dos estaban buenísimas. Mi favorita fue la de frijol con queso; tenía muchísimo sabor y estaba perfectamente preparada. La yuca frita estaba en su punto: crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. El chicharrón también estaba perfectamente cocinado, y la salsa verde casera que preparó la señora que nos atendió fue el complemento perfecto. Ella fue muy amable, atenta y siempre nos recibió con una sonrisa, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Otra cosa que realmente me llamó la atención fue lo limpio que está el restaurante. Además, es bastante amplio, con mucho espacio para sentarse, ya sea que vayas con un grupo grande, con tu familia o incluso si vas a comer solo. Nos encantó este lugar y definitivamente vamos a regresar. La próxima vez traeremos a mis suegros, que son salvadoreños, y estoy casi segura de que también le darán su sello de autenticidad.

    So many five star reviews, I'm here to add another!…read more Ordered online, picked up for lunch, what a treat! I got 3 pupusas revueltas to go. Service was quick, there is a big dining room with plenty of seating in case you want to dine in, looked very clean. Massive pupusas with a lot of filling, not one of those restaurants that give you nothing but masa, these pupusas were legit. They come with Curtido and the usual salsa roja. So much flavor packed into these things, these are some of the best pupusas I've ever had, good size and they do not cheap us out on filling. Definitely try em if you're in the area! Parking on the street, or in the back very limited in the alley.
