★★★★☆ 4.0 Evan Forsell · Feb 2026

Amazing pupusas and curtido recipe with good salsa, overpriced although delicious drinks ($9 for regular sized horchata and $8 for a tamarindo) I recommend you only order a food item or pupusas if you’re gonna go.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ana Teixeira · Nov 2025

I order from this place often via uber eats I get excited for their food each time lol I like to order pollo crema, papusa revuelta I tried Lulo smoothie from here it was my first time trying it & I really liked it. Anyways, when you get food from here you’re guaranteed a delicious meal. Appreciate all your hard work and the impact you have on the community love you guys

If I could give ZERO stars I would. AS EVERYONE ELSE’S REVIEW STATES, THEY WILL OVER CHARGE YOU & GET THE ORDER WRONG. I placed an order, asked them to repeat it back to me twice & they still got it wrong. When I called to fix the situation, they were playing games. I went to pick my money up & even though the manager admitted she got the order wrong & lied about calling me back to fix the situation, she made me force her to refund me. Then once she finally agrees on a refund, she tries to change her mind & say that she would only give me half. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. THEY PLAY UNPROFESSIONAL GAMES.

The place is ok. Cleaned and decorated. Staff are friendly. However, the food was substandard for the price. The meat is always dry and flavorless, eggs dry (barely edible), beans are watery and flavorless. The pupusas are not a disappointment. They’re always delicious.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ervin M Ventura · Jun 2021

Pupusas are very good! I had 3 and it was plenty. The Horchata was very good too, I had a large and they charge $6!!! Unreasonable! You could make a whole gallon of Horchata for $6
