Not a fan of the pupusas. Mostly dough and very little filling. When ordering, if you don't speak Spanish it's really difficult to order as the workers speak very little to no English. I ordered a plátano empanada and it was coated in salt instead of sugar!!!! It was so gross!

Shh don't tell anyone about this place. It's authentic. It's delicious. They can barely speak English and I can barely speak Spanish, but we figured it out and the experience was great.

Delicious spot for authentic El Salvadoran food. One of the few restaurants to get papusas in Detroit. Dining is located inside a small market, and you'll be greeted by very welcoming staff. Be prepared to speak Spanish if you're able to! We ordered the mixed, moro and cheese, chicken and cheese, and loroco and cheese papusas. We also ordered the fried plantain dish which was cooked excellent! Highly recommend :)

When you enter you might be tempted to walk out,but their papusa,and tamales are amazing they also have a variety of snacks to choose from but the best part of it all is that it isn't expensive.

My favorite Hidden Gem in all of Michigan a Salvadorian Market n Restaurant has 2 dishes youwon't find anywhere in the state. Famous drink El Atol de Elote" is a dessert/drink made ofground corn, cinnamon and milk. It's thick, sweet, and it has cinnamon so it has to be good ,folks stopping inside just for the delicious drink. Yuca con Chicharron with Salted Dried FishImagine fried pork served along with delicately fried cassava roots (yuca), seasoned withlemons and served with the sour salad, curtido. Really adventurous Foodies will enjoy a triphere, everything imported directly from Salvador including the dried Fish. Imagine a deliciousdish filled with da Yuca chunks of Pork n Salty Fish smother with red sauce n curtio a favoritestreet food in El Salvador.Salvadorian Grandma's in the kitchen dressing in colorful garb fromthe homeland. Great location on Michigan Avenue at Livernois couple hundred feet from corner.A place not to judge the book from the cover looking so drab. Small eating area back of store 8tables filled with Salvadorian folks eating the Authentic food of home. They sell at counter infront of store the most unique fluffy we say Tamal wrapped in Banana Leaf stuffed with Perco/Pork or Pollo/Chicken had one of each outstanding OMG a must try. Order a dish of Yuca Fritawith Chicharon along with a marvelous stuffed Pepper rolled in Egg stuffed with Chicken HOLYWOWED with Rice and Refried Black Beans a real winner. We had a platter of Pupusa with Curtio and Red Sauce totally Wonderful delicious.That's 6 Authentic Salvadorian restaurants around Detroit we visited and they keep gettingbetter. Eating in Grandma's kitchen never gets old. Note no English spoken here, just point atphotos on menu or anything else you see in store. You gotta Love Southwest Detroit where Iwas Born n Raised, we visit many times per month it's always exciting. #lacuscatleca #salvadorianfood #elatoldeelote #yucaconchicharron #driedsaltyfish #chicharron #yucafrita #pupusas
