“ They make their pupusas to order, not premade and reheated like some other places. Tamales are ok. I really love their Fresco de Tamarindo. The Fresco de Ensalada is ok here. ”
“ Lawd hab mercy these pupusas & platanos con crema were so good I would have left 5 stars, if the 4 kinds of pupusas that I got were separated. I couldn’t tell which was which for my family, BUT this won’t keep me from going back. I had been craving authentic Salvadorian food and this right here is it. Thanks to my coworker for telling me about it! ”

“ 2nd time trying this restaurant and the "pupusas" are the star of the show. the Revueltas "mixed" ones are the best. you have 2 options 1. cheese with loroco (pickled veggie mix) 2. cheese with chicharron the restaurant lighting is a bit off pretty dark in there. my order took a while to come out. but over all service was good. try the horchata 100% ”
“ I don’t understand these negative reviews. I didn’t see many reviews in Spanish, so I’m wondering if there is some kind of boas here? Idk. They treated this little white girl just fine and the food was INCREDIBLE. ”
