As a Salvadoran by origin, I can say that they make very good pupusas here. Today I was there and I received that good surprise. And we will return again with my wife.

Food is great quality. Horchata is to die for overall great drinks too. Their customer service on the other hand has never been good it has always been bad honestly; every time I come here with my family they always are very sassy and rude. If the customer service was better it would have been 5 stars if I'm being honest

Pupusas, the Salvadoran delight, stole the show at this cozy eatery. With a crispy exterior and a mouthwatering filling of beans, cheese, and savory meats, each bite was a flavor explosion. The variety of options, from classic revueltas to adventurous loroco and cheese, catered to every palate. Served with tangy curtido, these pupusas were a culinary symphony. Warm hospitality and genuine smiles from the staff added to the experience, making it a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of El Salvador

I used to come here all the time and get large portions of meat. Now the asada chunks are 1/3 of what it used to be. I understand that minimum wage and other business operation cost are higher, but the price of the food is higher too. So why are the meat portion sizes smaller? Please don't sacrifice costumer satisfaction for operational cost.

My friend wanted me to try Salvadoran food and we found this place through Yelp. I parked elsewhere and walked over. I didn't know what to expect but once I walked in, the ambience of this restaurant is unique and I love their booth seating. The vibe is there and I can see local customers coming in, especially to pick up to go orders. I got (2) revueltas pupusas (pork, cheese and beans). I really like curtido on top of the pupusas. It goes really well together. The sauce they gave you is mild. I really like the cheese on the corners of pupusas. Two pieces were enough because they are pretty thick. I just kept eating and didn't even talk to my friend. It's that delicious! Also ordered horchata and jamaica. The service is slow because there's only two waitresses. They made pupusas fresh at the restaurant so expect a wait after you placed the order. The only thing I didn't like from this experience is that at night, the location isn't as safe. There were groups of people hanging out soliciting and I was running away from a suspicious man trying to approach me after I left the restaurant. After this experience, I'd only stop by during the day time.

Service is not that great. I ordered over phone was told 35-40 min for pick up. Came 35 min n they still hadn't put my order in. And they got my order wrong. And they prices went up. You don't mind paying more if the service is good. But having you wait 1 hr on a takeout. Idk. If you do order here expect a wait and a rushed service.

They have delicious mini pupusas at an affordable price and their fruit cocktail drink is so refreshing! I would have given them a 5 but they don't serve you a great amount of pupusa side condiments (I.e red tomato sauce). One serving size of the tomato sauce that they give you with your order isn't enough to be honest and if you ask them for more they charge you about 4 bucks for an extra scoop of the sauce. They need to work on giving you an equal amount of side condiments for how big your order is. Other than that, I do recommend this place!
