Really good food and the staff is really friendly. I personally had three different pupusas. I asked for three of their favorites and they were all super good. I also tried a tamale which was made proportionately. I would definitely recommend trying this place. Also, they have the good sprite and coke from Mexico. 🤤

Food never disappoints. We have been coming here for the past 30 years. It’s a Togo spot for sure. I always get Caldo de Res. Pupusas revuelta are also delicious. Their style of enchiladas may surprise most people. Siempre muy delicioso..

We tried the Antojito Salvatrucha - a sampler plate. Hot, delicious, crispy. Authentic flavors…how do I know??? Because my good friend Rosa is from El Salvador and I spent countless hours at her kitchen table. You’ve got to come by. Service was great - fast & friendly.

I have been coming here for years and never disappoints. This is my favorite place, for pupusas. Good flavor, portions, and service.👌

★★★★★ 5.0 Rosita Mendez · Mar 2025

The pupusas and curtido here are delicious. From the revueltas con todo to the loroco with cheese, we tried them all, and they are all delicious! Their horchata is different, it reminds me of a drink in Mexico we call agua de cebada. The ensalada drink is a mix of different fruits, mainly tastes like pinapple juice with a hint of apple juice, it's very refreshing. The atole de elote is ok, it's more of a micena with elote (corn). Overall this place is very good, I'll definitely be trying more dishes!
