★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ethel Smith · Oct 2025

Dirty, no parking I’ll post a video of their “parking”. Grimy. Y menú limitado. Limited menue they don’t tel you they’re out of stuff. You go in and end up asking for 4 different dishes all so they can say oh no tenemos. … also why did you cage the parking at the front? Ridiculous. Pass it’s nasty

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kevin Cano · Jan 2025

They have a very limited menu. I order a tamale and they served it luckwarm. I order 4 pupusas and tamales and it came out to $55. I didn't make want to make a problem but this would be the last time I am coming here.

I've been coming to this bakery and restaurant for a few years. My favorite itens are the bean and cheese pupusas and the platanos. Yummy! Pupusas are a homemade small corn tortilla filled with beans, pork, chicken or beef and queso cheese. They are grilled until slightly crispy on the outside. The platanos are grilled plaintains with usually a little butter and sugar on top. This particular place makes the best South American food. Their bakery is traditionally Guatemalan desserts like sweet bread, with various jelly toppings. The price is reasonable based on the quality and portion of food they give the customer. Definitely worth the drive to Van Nuys to try it out. A+ food!! 🍌🌮🍪

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ernesto Chavez · Dec 2018

Food is expensive for the portions they give. Not always warm and rice was ok last time. Workers give off a bad vibe when you walk in and with the way they take your order. Sometimes they're cool. 3 stars is for the bread and atoles they have.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jorge A · Apr 2024

They got my order wrong . I asked for a torta and they gave me a plate. Didn't notice until I got to the jobsite. I clearly said torta.
