The best pupusa. The pupusas are not greasy, they are very tasty. Made when you order. The chicken tamales are the best Salvadorian tamales I've had. Service is always friendly.

Love this little gem! Was craving some authentic Salvadorian pupusas and WOW - this spot HIT the spot. Ordered one of each and wish I had ordered more. Great flavor masa and the pupusas were top notch for penny's on the dollar. No joke - the entire meal was around $15 and I made a generous tip I grabbed a magnet for the fridge because I know I'll be back

I drove by here so many times and always wanted to try this place. The menu is full of classic dishes that I'm super excited to try and the prices are reasonable. We loved the pupusas (we tried chicharrón con queso, frijoles con queso, & queso con loroco) and the yucca was amazing. We were a little disappointed by the amount of chicharrón but the dish itself is pretty affordable so makes sense the portion of meat is small. Service was pretty slow as well, so we'll probably opt for takeout in the future. All in all, definitely recommend this spot for some filling, flavorful Salvadorean food.

I'm not sure why I don't come here daily!! Every single item I order is full of flavor and tastes authentic!! The pupusas are always fresh and made with the perfect amount of meat and cheese. The beans are absolutely delicious! I could definitely eat more than one serving! They have the perfect amount of spices and flavor. The beans are a must try! Loved the plantains which are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The corn tamale is pretty good. I usually eat Mexican tamales so I'm getting used to the different types I've been here multiple times and have never tried their salsa. I immediately regretted all my life decisions because their salsa is beyond amazing!!!! I'm drooling right now just thinking about it! The restaurant itself is small but a decent size and can accommodate large parties. The waiters are always quick and friendly. We are definitely coming back...hopefully this weekend!

I have to admit Ive never really had a pupusa before. But I will say after eating here, I will be back for more! This place isnt as much as a dive as people make it. Its not fancy, but Ive been to worse looking places. I ordered a medley of things, since I wanted to try a little of everything. The fried corn tamale was excellent. The crema for dipping made it even better! I Recommend everyone order at least one of those. The pupusa was far better than I could have imagined. To me, its like a thin pita you eat with a fork. The masa was soft, flavorful, and dirt cheap. The filling isnt jammed packed, but whats there is delicious. The pork and cheese as my favorite, but the loroco and cheese was good too. The chicken tamale was probably my least favorite item, but it was still a good tamale. The filling could have been spread out better, but I can tell they make them fresh. The tacos were the surprise factor here. These tacos are tucked away on the mexican menu, but they have a strong al pastor game. I recommend everyone get a few tacos while here. The tostadas are just like their tortilla chips, which have great character. If you order the tostadas, realize that the portions will be huge. They give three medium sized tostadas with a good amount of toppings. The beef was well pronounced. The crema and queso fresco were fresh and were the workhorse of the flavor. The veggies were fresh and just the right amount in proportion to everything else. The tostadas are just like their tortilla chips, which have great character. Once the meal was over, my bill was so low! I dont know how they can afford to sell their items so low, but its great if you're on a budget. I will be back here again, and I will definitely try more items.
