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 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!

I've actually traveled to El Salvador before, so I've had the opportunity to experience the food there firsthand. Since coming back, I really haven't found many places that gave me that same authentic taste and feeling--until coming here. Everything we tried was amazing. The pupusas, beans, plantains, meats, and all the traditional flavors were on point. You can tell the food is prepared with that real homemade Salvadorian style. If you've been to El Salvador and know what authentic Salvadorian food is supposed to taste like, this place will bring back some memories. In my opinion, this is about as close as you're going to get without actually getting on a plane and going to El Salvador.

I LOVE these people and I love their breakfast, in that order. The fact that they are family owned and run is wonderful. The fact that what they do is EVERYTHING they can to care for their customers is the way a restaurant should be run, but hardly ever is. I have been coming here for four years alone, with friends and most importantly my now 7-year old niece. This is where she learned to write all her letters and numbers over breakfasts together. She calls it her "chocolate covered strawberry place" -- which tells you how good and diverse their deserts are. :) Chocolate covered strawberries, egg white veggie omelets and they have plantains! Breakfast of champions. Not to be missed. read more
