★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mayra Deleon · Jan 2026

Despite the bad reviews, I wanted to give this place a try because why not. Not only did I regret it but it was a big disappointment. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot in the evening. When we walked inside there was a lot of places to seat, but we wanted our food to go. The girl who took our to go order repeated our order, so we know she got our order right. We waited around 15 min for our food. The music they had playing was great. When we got home, the order was wrong. We paid for 6 pupusas and only got 5. The pupusas were so oily. The yuca con chicharron did not look tasty and normally I am stealing it from my husband. We will definitely not be going back

For 3.50 The tacos come pretty Loaded and the meat is fire I got Asada. Unfortunately if you like spicy food/ salsa this isnt the place for you The Banana Liquoados is also really good and the pupusas the musics a vibe

Pastry are good. Food is not. Quesada is soooo greasy, carne asada burritos too,red grease streaming down my arm....yuk. the tamales are decent but are all gone by noon noon. Do not reccomend this place to eat...unless you have a cast iron stomach

Service was slow food was good but a bit pricey for the quality. I would return and try a different plate maybe.

For months I was craving pupusas, and then, yesterday, "I found" this place, and IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. Its menu is wide and varied, including its Aguas Frescas. They also have a lovely patio area; I recommend you have your meal there. The staff is friendly, and the place is clean. I enjoyed: - Loroco pupusa (Salvadoran vegetables with cheese) - Jalapeños pupusa (jalapeños and cheese) - Beans pupusa - Chicharrón pupusa (pork) - Revuelta pupusa (pork, beans and cheese) - Agua de maracuya - Sangría Bonus: they do not limit you to the amount of salsa or curtido (vegetables) that accompany the pupusas. They bring you the bottle of salsa and a plate, not a small container, with the curtido. I will come back to try more of their menu.
