The food here is absolutely amazing! Best pupusas on earth!!!!! I am extremely picky about authentic food. This place always makes the pupusas fresh and delicious ! Never have they failed at doing that. The only issue is when they're busy and short staff, the wait for the food is extremely long. However, I can promise you it's worth the wait!

Good food and prices but for some reason some of the beverages on the menu either they don't have the ingredients to make them or they no longer serve those drinks.

We visited this place this evening after a random person we met at a clothing store recommended it to us. We don’t even live on this side of town, but we decided to give it a try and we’re so glad we did. We didn’t realize they close at 8 PM, and we arrived about 20 minutes before closing. Even so, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment we walked in, the waitress took our order quickly and brought our drinks right away. We ordered quite a few pupusas, so it took a little time for them to come out, but that was expected with the amount we ordered. What really stood out was that we never felt rushed, even though it was close to closing time. Instead, they made us feel comfortable and treated us kindly. We told them it was our first time there and that someone randomly recommended the place to us, and they were very warm about it. The food was amazing. The pupusas are big, the flavor is delicious, and the price is definitely worth it. My kids loved them, and we even had extras to take home for lunch tomorrow because of the generous size. They also serve a good amount of salsa and curtido, which made everything even better. Overall, it was a great experience. If you’re looking for delicious pupusas and friendly service, this place is definitely worth visiting.
