Let me start by saying that all the food here is terribly GREASY, it’s hard to get the OILY flavor out of your mouth let alone clothes.Sad to say, but we THREW it all away, because of how greasy it was and the lack of seasoning, everything was so plain, what a waste of $70!! The food here is made on the fly with no kind of love.We ordered a Pan Con Pollo and as you can see in the picture they didn’t even bother to take the BONES out of the chicken ON BOTH ENDS!!The Flautas (Taquitos) lacked so much flavor, they tasted as if our entire order was cooked in the same grease.Pupusas tastes so much like oil that not even the watered down sauce helped.Soup had decent flavor, but after trying everything else nothing about it was appealing.Never coming back here again.

The food is very good.! But the two ladies stop when someone comes to ask them. They are in a bad mood and with their unfriendly face, they are serving very poorly.

My first time trying the pupusas and they were amazing! I got the revuelta, queso con loroco, and calabaza, they were all big and filled with the tasty filling. I also got the Salvadoran horchata and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Really sweet service, I would come back.

This is one of the best Salvadoran restaurants I've been to. A hole in the wall. The food is delicious, the pupusas, the Salvadoran drinks(ensalada and horchata) the yuca frita (fried casava) is one of the best. Definitely going back to try the other dishes. Parking is a little tight so give yourself time to get a good spot. Check this place out. It'll be worth it.

Had a really filling and delicious brunch. The salvadorian breakfast was a great balance of different things. And the pupusas were up there with the best I've ever had. They treated us like family so the service was key as well. We had never tried this place and it did not disappoint. Were glad we found it. The vibes were family driven and we really enjoyed our breakfast/ lunch here at this place. They also had plenty of soups and some mexican food items. Something I will look forward too.

The Pupusas here are delicious. This has become a regular spot for me to get takeout since I found it a few months ago.

I tried the cheese and beans pupusas and they were very bland. On top of that, the salsa they give you is really watery and has no flavor. The breakfast was good except for the beans, which i found very bland as well. Service was ok.

came in, sat down by myself on a rainy day on a long lunch break. nobody greeted me, very cold there, but those that were inside and had ordered all spoke amongst each other in Spanish. Since they kinda ignored me sitting there, and after sitting for about 5-10min, I walk up and ask for a menu. Stood there, looking through the menu.. kinda already knew what I wanted. Ordered 2 pupusas revueltas. They cost like $3 each... tell me why I was charged $10.13 13 cents so I have a crap ton of change... and tax off $6+ isn't upwards $4???? She didn't use a calculator or a register, just wrote on a ticket $10.13 no card accepted. Now, I would've left, but of course, it was pouring and I had a long lunch break but not THAT long. My plan was to order some pupusas cause I was craving them, sit inside this "cute" restaurant on a rainy day and enjoy my lunch in peace, without having to rush. NOPE. I sat there about 45 min(almost my entire break) waiting for the pupusas, coulda swore someone that came in after me left before me... and I had TWO PUPUSAS. I'm Hispanic.. I'm mixed. Where I grew up, you couldn't tell I was mixed. I fit right in. But Long Beach Hispanics are somethin else. This isn't the first time I felt racially judged. And sure I don't speak fluent Spanish, more like Spanglish and I understand it mostly.. but this was wild to me. I felt hated here. Finally, my two pupusas were ready and I made sure she didn't leave out the cabbage and salsa.. cause if I didn't say it, it would have been left out too. She gave it to me in a plastic bag tied up... others got plates... so painfully awkward. It was like take this. BYE. I ran out to my car in the pouring rain... sitting there shaking my head. Like what the heck. I felt bullied it was almost comical... like latin mean girls. So much was said yet hardly anything was said at all. Anyway, I'll never go back. And when anyone asks for good pupusa places near by I make sure not to mention them they don't even exist. Such and such place over here is ok.. so and so place is good.. xyz place is far but the pupusas are big... but THIS place will never be brought up. Their taste wasnt memorable enough.. whether they were good or bad, their existence is obscure. I've told many people about many places, and theyve gone based off my recommendations. But this place just doesn't exist. And I'm content with that. **By the way, as far as the prices, this was 2021, inflation had not hit that hard yet.**
Top tier pupusas. Small spot but worth going to if you looking for good food

Love the papusas. They offer way more choices than most places which I love. I always get chicharron with cheese, asada, and chorizo papusas.

The food is always yummy. I have yet to be disappointed. Only thing that needs improis the friendliness of the waitress. This last time a gentleman served us and he has been the only friendly face yet. He even gave us a sample of their atole, which was super yummy. Other times the ladies seem like they don't want to even take your order. Other than that I love the taste of their pupusas the best.

Best pupusas ever it's like they are coming from the motherland. Estas señoras si saben! Everyone has to try this place!

Caldo de gallina enfermo a mi esposa. Las pupusas de frijoles con queso están decentes pero el curtido y la salsa no son lo mejor... las revueltas no tienen sabor la horchata igual.... 4 pupusas un caldo de gallina y una agua de horchata chica casi $45
