The restaurant is closed for business. I stopped for some food but a sign on the door stated that they're no longer open

I ordered tacos and they decided to add hot sauce to all of them without my consent, it ruined my taco experience. Also, very greasy to the point when I picked up the taco, literally dripping like a faucet.

Good service, clean environment, nice background music! Fair prices! Nobody makes wevos rancheros like they do! I love their pupusas. Good welcoming staff! Did I mention they offer hand made tortillas !? I recommend this business! Their Birria tacos are good too. Wish they had fresh carrot juice rather then the generic one.

The staff is very unprofessional. Don’t even acknowledge you. I went in there & the lady at the cash register was on her phone. Never going back.

I shop frequently at the Chinese market in the same plaza as this restaurant and I'm so glad we stopped in for an afternoon snack. The papusas are fresh, hot, flavorful and I'm honestly planning to try every 1 of them someday! I also had tacos: carne asada, chicken, and pork. The chicken was impressively seasoned! I really liked how the taco shells were toasted to perfection. So much good stuff to try on the menu, don't hesitate to visit if you've never had a papusa!

We really enjoyed the papusas! Go with the cheese and jalapeños or the bean and cheese. The chicken enchiladas in red sauce was amazing! Tasted like real deal authentic Tex Mexican and Salvadoran food! A must try when in the area!

Wow. Hands down, the BEST Yuca fries I have ever eaten! Golden, crispy and flavorful perfection with every bite! What a perfect pairing with the meaty chicharron! I also enjoyed their spinach and cheese pupusa which was made to order, so I enjoyed it all nice a hot. As if this were it, wait....there's more! Their salsa was made with such fresh ingredients and I dipped every piece of all I was eating into the salsa and scraped every last drop. I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu items because I can imagine how much I will devour the food after this 1st experience with this filling, flavorful feast!

Fantastic pupusas!I plan on returning to try more of their menu, but first impression was already an outstanding one.We tried a mixed, spinach, and chicharon. As you can see from the pictures, the sheer size made the reasonable price a bargain. Quantity of food only goes so far, but this restaurant had the quality to match! Stretchy cheese, FRESH (so fresh, probably a good idea to let them cool a bit before that first bite), and satisfying.The mixed pupusa had a more cheese and bean prominent flavor profile, but if you want a more meat forward option, get the chicharon! More of a carnitas consistency than the crunchy, fried pork rinds most associate with the term chicharon, it is a filling and delicious option.The spinach was less prominent, but still added to the cheese. I felt this and the mixed best paired with the repollo (slaw is the best word I can think of for translation) and sauce. With the occasional slice of jalapeño, it made for a touch of spice and a bit more acid to a more rich flavor.Can't wait to go back!

i wandered into this place because i needed a place to meet a colleague and they had indoor seating. i left this place vowing to come back for the papusas. since i had never been here, i asked the order taker what i should try. first she tried to sell me a massive seafood dish for two people which i politely declined saying that i only wanted something light. we settled on the papusas and i'm glad we did. ordered one pork and one chicken. i've had papusas in as many places as i can find them and what i will say about this place is that these were amongst some of the best i've ever had. the outside was light, flavorful and just a little flaky. the insides were bursting with flavor. the dipping sauce sealed the deal. not spicy but so tasty in a tomato sort of way. i'm not sure if the rest of the items on the menu are as good but i'm willing to make a stop there next time i'm in the area to give it a try.

Gave me a carnitas burrito with 2 chili peppers stuck at the bottom of the burrito, and used white rice in their burrito.

When I heard about fresh Mexican style food. First time We gave a try & order 2 tacos only. But it tastes really good to us. Next time, We ordered it on Tuesday. It comes with deal "Taco Tuesday." On Tuesday, Tacos costs $2. Tasty chicken Tacos including fresh dipping sauces. Fresh spice mixed boneless chicken slices with fried onion & jalapeños on top of fresh corn taco. Really worth try.
