I ordered a dozen tamales and four pupusas to go for New Year's eve, the total came up to $78.00, which I thought it was a bit high, but I figured if the food was worth it, would be ok. However, the tamales had no flavor, the masa was hard and the pupusas were greasy. I would never order from this restaurant again. I don't recommend it, it was outrageous. I also got an order of fried plantains, it was almost $11.00 and there were only six burned small slices, terrible!

Food is pretty good. Tried the cheese and revueltas pupusas, cheese is better. Meat and fried yucca plate was good but they use a batter or something for the yucca which make is more greasy and thicker than it should be. Curtido and salsa is very good. Prices are ok, not cheap but not overly expensive. Went on a Sunday and there was a line to sit at a table. Ordered takeout instead.

Really like coming here. The pupusas I always get are the revueltas!! They're my favorite 😍😍. We got the fried yucca with chicharron appetizer it was so freaking good!! Loved it! We tried Guatemalan beer 🍺 it was very good! I was really surprised 😮 how much I liked it. It wasn't too strong it was smooth but also tasteful! 🤌 Definitely try it! We drank 4. 😉 Wanted to try Salvadorean beer but they ran out ! They sell quick! Bf got a Cocktail it was okay 😕 not enough shrimp. But they did clean it so that's good!👍 He also ordered the Mojarra 🐟🐟🐟 He loved it! 🤭💕 ! & we got 2 cokes 🥤🥤! It gets you so full we ended up taking food home. ! If u like Salvadorean Food or are Salvadorean you should come here and try it. It is pricey ! I added pictures of the menu so you know before hand ! But it is ve

Great food the pupusas were delicious all very authentic Salvadorian. They also have a part of the menu that is full of classic Mexican dishes. If you go try the Salvadorian horchata it's different but really good in it's own way. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the time it took for the food to get to the table but definitely worth the wait.

Best pupusas in the area. Place is clean spacious and service is good. They have plenty of choices of pupusas and the salsa is delicious. I highly recommend the chicharrón con queso.
