★★★☆☆ 3.0 Telma Giron · Mar 2026

Too expensive in my personal experience. I ordered two shrimp quesadillas and it came to almost $40. It had a good taste but not worth $40. It was loaded with cheese but stingy with the shrimp and this was for lunch. I wouldn’t complain if I had the 5-6 pieces like other restaurants but they only gave 3 pieces. The person who took the order was friendly but never provided the price once i placed the order just the wait time.

The food was solid. Large portions for the price. I’m not an expert but the pupusas were yummy. Happy to support this neighborhood business. Went during a rainy weekday and it was not busy.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica C · Sep 2025

Amazing dinner tonight. The smoky margaritas and papusas were on point. We love this neighborhood gem!

★★★★★ 5.0 Elgaroo Brenza · Oct 2025

I am now thoroughly in LOVE with papusas!!!!!D My first Salvadorian restaurant that I recall, but I don't think that anyone at all aquatinted with Mexican or other latinx food could have much of any trouble at all: most of said regulars and staples are here (from very familiar to more "exotic") as well as Salvadorian specialties, etc. Perfectly affordable beer, as well as what looked like a variety of cocktails, wines, etc, and other beverages, including quite good, sweet horchata and I think some sort of tamarind drink and several other non-alcoholic options. There might have been at least 1 full, operational bar inside, I don't recall for sure. I remember seeing: a pretty wide array of taco options, quesadillas, papusas, tamales, various appetizers (generally under or around $10 I thin

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Oscar C. · Dec 2025

I ordered “los tacos al carbon” and the tacos were pretty bad. The meat inside the taco tasted pre-cooked, pre-chopped and was of very low quality. It had so many pieces of hard fat instead of actual meat. It’s sad because I’ve been here before and had prior good experiences. On the flip side, the server was pleasant and the margarita was very nice. Not sure I’ll get there food, or tacos, here again.
