I was visiting the Boston area and was looking for pupuseria and found this gem. I love that they had Guatemalan, Salvadorian and Mexican dishes. I tried the pupusas and they were delicious but forgot to take a pic. Simply no time to waste when you have pupusas in front of you. The steak was delicious as well and the service was great and friendly. The inside is clean but it looks super old but I guess that is everywhere around here. Sadly the outside has no signs and kind of looks like a dump but you cannot judge a book by its cover.

If I could give 0 stars I would give it a few days ago I went to eat there and there were cockroaches on the tables at the time you were eating they were on top of the tortillas and I just went to pick up food and ordered beef soup and cockroaches came out inside The soup, what a disgusting restaurant, I don't know how the inspection doesn't close this place due to poor hygiene.WHAT A DISGUSTING place, I seriously do not recommend buying here EVER.

Been coming here for years! Delish and authentic ! Service can be slow during dinner hours but it is because they are so busy!

I ordered shrimp salad, and they sent the wrong order. When I called, they said they would make the shrimp salad for me to go pick it up. When I picked it up, the shrimp was cold and frozen. When I called to complain, i asked for management, and they said there is no manager, and they didn't acknowledge the problem and hang up on me without any accountability. So disappointed

I am surprise to see the rating of this restaurant is not as high as I thought it should be. I tired this place a couple of times and so far it is my favorite. I often get Chicken quesadilla, it is delicious and filling and often can't finish the whole meal even though it is tempting to do so. I tried Chicken Tacos as I wanted a lighter meal. The Tacos were delicious, the chicken was well seasoned and toped with fresh vegies. Staff also are so friendly, I definitely recommend this place.

I’m a regular here. Honestly the food taste good, but the service always makes me feel upset. If you have special requests they never can do it. Customer service is one of the most important things when you work in hospitality. More training for your staff.

I ordered beef nachos and an authentic soda in a beautiful bottle . Definitely was the restaurant quality fresh tortilla chips used with boatloads of fresh green shredded lettuce and some pickled jalapenos that also looked restaurant made not from package . So delicious and great place to chillax for an hour and listen to music they had on some nice Mexican music on the flat screen . It's very pretty and the bathrooms are super clean I look forward to treating myself to go there again .Kid-friendliness: My son was with me and he also liked the delicious authentic hone made sodas and nachos.

Sold me expired guacamole I had heard great reviews about this place but unfortunately was not able to eat my food because the person who I call said I couldn’t get a refund or make my food a second time even tho I offered bringing the food back she said that they would make her pay for it so I will be calling the owner to speak directly with he or she and if they making the employees pays for return food i will be talking to Lynn city hall..

Great location and good food. I ordered the Plato Montanéro, it was very delicious and hot, everything was packed with alot of flavor. The restaurant seems to have been recently renovated and the seats are very nice. We came here 2 years ago and alot has changed since then. One thing we did not like was the Papusa that had the pork and cheese, I'd suggest changing the cheese used in the Papusa. Overall everything was great and the service was pretty quick and friendly, we'll be back again soon.

I ordered veggie nachos as I have done multiple times in the past however this time when I went to pick my order up they said it was not done and that they did not know how to make the order. The lady was extremely rude and I find it interesting how you don't know how to make it but were quick to charge my card. Also the styrofoam they gave me looked like it had been bitten by a rodent. I am bilingual and speak Spanish, they were not aware and were talking about me in front of me. Overall bad service, unsanitary and mediocre food.

This place had such a bad Marijuana odor we had to leave. I'm not sure who was smoking it but when we told the waiter about the smell they did not deny it they just said to sit closer to the window. This used to be my go to place.
