The pupusas was not good. It was mostly masa, no cheese and a bit undercooked. The service was okay. The only form of payment that is accepted is zelle or cash.

I ordered pupusas and platanos fritos with a drink. The platano's were not good, they were stale, no flavor and dry. I told this to the server but she didn't care, turned around and charged me for the plate anyways. They do not care for their customers, the quality of their food or any reputation. They are in it for the money. The pupusas were nothing special either. I won't be back here EVER !!

The name changed. It looked nothing like a restaurant. The service was good. The pupusas had great flavor but were soggy and undercooked. Could not rip apart and eat them, had to use utensils. Would have been nice for utensils or even napkins. The new name is Pupuseria Las Gianacas

★★★★☆ 4.0 Julia Revord · Jun 2018

Felt incredibly authentic. Food was great. Pupusas are hard to come by. The restaurant staff spoke little English, but were very friendly and we could get through it effectively. The inside of the restaurant felt like we were literally in Central America, which was awesome. Overall, it wasn't a fine dining experience--more of a hole in the wall, but was a fun date night adventure.
