They were smaller than the ones we have gotten before but just as tender. Hubby ended up getting a second one. They had a lot of pupusas options so we opted to try different ones of those. I didn't really like what I got but what my husband got was great. The dessert nuegados we got were not my thing but I was glad to at least try them and my friend liked them so it all worked out. I would come back just for the tamales and to try other things. Oh and that salsa verde was excellent!

Again, I stumbled upon this restaurant by shear luck. It is a trove of good foods…read more The server, her name was Edith, she was most helpful. I was immediately greeted and seated upon my arrival. Actually, I was able to choose which table that I wanted to dine at. I started off with a fresh cup of coffee. It was piping hot, which is the only way that I like it. After placing my order I enjoyed seeing the interactions between the diners and their family. Also, the people that came into the restaurant after I was seated were greeted with such warmth and genuine love from the staff that it took me back in time when life was less complicated. When life was a simple time for everyone. A time when the cellphone wasn't even an idea in the minds of our great innovators. This establishment is not located on the main streets, it's located around the corner of a major road but obscured from view. So surprise number one is that....... They had a revolving door of clientele during my dining experience there. More visitors came and went than I see in main stream restaurant facilities. That in itself should tell you something about not only the food but about the people that work there. After I ordered I must be truthful, the food was not brought out immediately but that was truly a good thing which I will share why that is soon. First, the observation from an old man saw every occupied table with friends and family visiting with each other. Not a cell phone in sight, no disruption from a ringing phone. No inconsiderate cell phone man talking at a noise decibel that makes one feel they are sitting with you in a small enclosure. It was beautiful, nobody hurrying, nobody uptight and most importantly, No one ignored in favor of a cell phone texter or talker. It was undivided attention across the entire spectrum. That's good old day memories for me. When my meal arrived it was well worth the wait and now I will share with you why I don't mind waiting a little longer for a meal while dining in a small restaurant. It's because the order is not pre-made sitting under heat-lamps or inside of stainless steel containers placed over a heating source. Oh no, my breakfast was being made after I placed the order. That my friends adds a whole new dimension to good, quality, well prepared menu items. If I had to rate the food, ambiance and service on a 5 star rating, 5 being the highest praise, then hands down, I give them 10 stars

This is a small restaurant, but it is bright and cheerful. The service is friendly. I went with three pupusas and a taco (carne asada). The taco was okay, but the pupusas were very good. I asked for just a water. They only offer bottled. Not a big deal, just letting you know. Also, the pupusas were listed as three dollars each, but on my bill, they were over ten dollars for all three. Again, not a huge deal, but I did want to mention it. A few small items, but all in all, a positive experience. Ultimately, I would definitely recommend here.

Nashville, Tennessee has some great pupuserias and tonight I checked out La Esquina Pupuseria…read moreSalvadorana. Like most of the pupuserias that I have been in, this place is extremely humble and definitely offers little in the way of ambiance and atmosphere. There are a few tables and some cheap paintings and bric-a-brac hanging on the walls. Even my salt and pepper shaker were mismatched. But to me, this made me anticipate my dinner more. The process here is you place an order at the counter and when it is ready, they bring you your food. There was a bit of a language barrier, but the young lady taking my order was friendly and it was not really an issue. The menu was quite diverse and offered a nice selection of fillings for their pupusas. I opted to go with a mixed pupusa, a chorizo and cheese pupusa and a jalapeño and cheese pupusa. Then I noticed that they had tacos and impulsively ordered an asada taco. I chose a seat and before long, they brought me my feast and I have to say that it looked impressive. After my first bite, I decided not only did it look impressive, but it tasted even better than it looked. If you find yourself in Nashville, Tennessee, I would definitely recommend a visit here.

Tired of boring, bland, frozen Mexican food geared for Americans? This place will be the remedy…read more This is the restaurant that truly makes you feel like you are not in America anymore toto, and I love it. When you walk in you can see the team of women making tortillas and pupusas in the back. Music playing, lights flickering, not a cockroach in sight. The food comes out and you can tell you're dealing with quality when the sides of rice and beans makes you question your entire knowledge on the concept of what food that tastes good, actually tastes like. If you're lucky like I was, the power will shut off mid meal. A truly awesome experience.

HIDDEN GEM!! I…read morestopped in the grab some lunch, 3 pupusas (1 cheese, 1 chorizo, 1 cheese and jalapeño).... And it is now my go-to. The pupusas were large (I couldn't finish, had a half of the meal for lunch the bext day), the sauces were plentiful, and hit that perfect balance of flavor/heat, and the cabbage was fresh. For the price the servings were generous. Prices were pretty typical, so it was a pleasant surprise. Now for the pupusas, perfectly crispy but not oily, light but full of filling, cheese oozing- perfect corn dough texture (not mealy or rubbery, even after a 10 minute drive home). Service was great, and kind enough to fill in my poor Spanish. I stepped next door to grab some paletas (perfect location if you're like me and want your savory and sweet in one stop). It was ready in about 10 mins, I sat in a booth- everything looks new, all the tables/floors were clean, and the music was a nice complement (not too loud, so you could have a conversation). Overall, 10/10, will be back!
