The food here is very good and it is worth everything you pay for. I like to take my family here whenever we are craving Salvadoran food. Food matches the service, for I will become a regular to this place

Carne Asada 8/10- very nice portion size. they had beans, rice, lettuce, onions (amazing), some vegetables and the carnePupusa (10/10)- the chicken was amazing!! So flavorful. Also got the steak and regular and they were so so amazing.It came with some sort of tomato base soup which tasted so delicious and some fermented vegetables.The wait was a little long, 25 min, but you know it’s real then.10/10 would eat here again.

Wow. As a native Salvadorian, this is the closest to truly authentic i've had in Los Angeles. Their pupusas have such an amazing flavor, and are hefty (2 pupusas is enough for a big girl like me) - their fillings were so flavorful! I got their chicharrón con queso and frijol con queso - the classics and they were beyond amazing. My partner got Pollo con queso and also a frijol con queso and she said the chicken was delish and enjoy the big pieces instead of shredded. We also got their plátanos com todo and they remind me of home - so sweet and perfectly fried. 10/10 would come again.Service was amazing - only met one person working but she was sweet and made me feel like family. The restaurant itself is small but cute. You can definitely tell it's a mom and pop shop - a small business but next time I would eat inside instead of taking to go. I forgot to take a picture before digging in but here is a picture of after the fact - where i ate it all lol

Pupusas were soooo good! Got the chicken & queso con frijol and they were the best I've tried in this area. The filling was so yummy, not too much masa and the plátanos were exactly the way I like them! Soft and crispy Def recommend! Staff was super welcoming & I will definitely be coming back!! My go to spot now

Food--We got 5 pupusas (asada, 2 pollo, calabaza, & frijol). All were great. My favorites were the asada and the frijol. The pupusas are large, tasted fresh, and were just really good. The curtido is really good as well! We also tried the horchata. We're used to Mexican horchata and this Salvadorian one is not rice based. I googled it afterwards and it's typically made from a seed and had a nutty flavor. Price--Very affordable considering the portion sizes. It looks like they did recently raise prices. Most pupusas were $3.50/ea Parking--street parking, and it's difficult Ordering--Based on how it looked in photos (like a little hole in a wall), we figured it would be best to order in person instead of calling in (and I'm not even sure they take phone orders). We didn't have any issues ordering and got exactly what we wanted. The wait was about 15 minutes or so. They're made to order.Service--Friendly & knowing a bit of Spanish is definitely helpful
