Food was 10/10. Loved the pupusas. I ordered cheese and bean and then cheese and pork...however I think my order was confused and I only received cheese and then cheese and bean. It was really good nonetheless and there is no proce difference as they are all 2.99 per pupusa. They were LOADED! SUPER filing with a great taste and texture. I also ordered fried plaintains and refried beans.... amazing compliment to the dish. Literally a filling meal for under $20 and honestly It could have been cheaper if I didn't want to try their plantains. Highly recommend! Service was also efficient because the lady at the front guided me through the menu and was very helpful and nice. It took all of 12 minutes to get my meal. Definitely going back to try other flavors and dishes.

The food here is very tasty but the service wasn't as great. We waited for quite sometime for our meal to be prepared. While my fish was a nice proportion in size my husband's fish looked like it was missing half the fish it may have been fried to long cause all the meat was gone just about. However he still enjoyed his meal because I had enough fish on my meal to share with him.

We got another diamond in the rough here, friends! These folks know how to cook. Looks like the building might be a former gas station or old quickie mart, but inside you'll find friendly people and tasty food! The Platos (platters) are a good deal: a choice of meat, that comes with rice, bean dip, fresh salad, and a few soft tacos. Everything just tastes fresh! I had the Plato with Bistec Encebollado and it was delicious! That meat was super juicy. Washed it all down with some of the best homemade Horchata that I've ever had, seriously. Go check it out!

Been there twice now in the same week! The pupusas were nice and plump and well stuffed with chicharrón (pork) and cheese. The curtido had a touch of jalapeño peppers which added a nice spice. We also had the plantain empanadas with sugar … yum! The first time we went, each one of us ordered 3 pupusas but decided that 2 were enough to satisfy. The pupusas are made to order and not frozen prior. We heard the cook slapping the corn dough as she prepared our meal and tasted the delicious result. As to the price, it was fairly cheap. Each pupusa costs $2.50 and with 2 you’re satisfied and if you have a drink that’s adding a dollar or so to your bill. So with less than $10 you’ve got yourself a meal. I’ve been to other pupusa establishments and this one is delicious and cheap. The place is smal

I usually dont stop by here because of thier overpriced menu options but i was craving thier chicken salad today, so stopped by and as I pulled up I see people eating inside, it was 7:35PM, l look up there menu on my phone to see what salad I wanted, I start walking up, I see the customers getting in their cars, I try to open the door and it's locked, it was then 7:44. Sign says they close at 8PM. I knock on their door, they don't even look up at me, I walk around to the other door and knock a little harder, they still ignore me. That's messed up, but that's OK, they just lost another customer
