“The pupusas here are FANTASTIC!!”

The pupusas here are FANTASTIC!!! This is my 3rd time coming and each time I never come out disappointed! They give you the classic savory pickled cabbage and salsas for the pupusas. Always so good!

“Amazing Salvadorian and Guatemalan menu.”

Amazing Salvadorian and Guatemalan menu. Their guacamole is chunky and they give a great portion. I wish the pupusas had more of the ingredient i chose but is mostly cheese - but this makes them super gooey and tasty. I tried a Salvadorian chicken tamale which was super moist and full of meat. The lime agua fresca was so refreshing. The service was awesome. I'm so happy I live so close by. My boyfriend and friend loved their food as well :) I will return!

“Really good pupusas, thoroughly enjoyed the refried beans- I used it as a sauce.”

Really good pupusas, thoroughly enjoyed the refried beans- I used it as a sauce. The plantains were cooked nicely, but could use a bit of salt and flavor. The guacamole had a nice texture and flavor, the chips could use some salt.

“Ordered a pan con pollo and revuelta pupusas.”

Ordered a pan con pollo and revuelta pupusas. I love how the pan con pollo was plated. It was very flavorful and all ingredients tasted fresh. It was very filling. I tried a piece of pupusas with salsa and pickled cabbage. The dish also tasted fresh and flavorful. Great service as well!

“Generous portions and the pupusas are huge.”

Generous portions and the pupusas are huge! Enough for it to just be your meal. We could tell everything is freshly made and it tasted just as delicious. The service was great and quick. The restaurant is on a busy corner so you might run into some trouble to find parking. (I took the bus to get there)

Super Delicious! My non-Latino friends, if you like soft tortilla stuff with cheese and or fried cracklings, this is a must. Don’t forget to add the vinegar coleslaw on top.
