The pupusas are the only thing I would buy here. They are very good and fairly priced. I tried the tacos once and was disappointed. Definitely not Mexican tacos, felt more like American tacos. The drinks are also a bit higher price than other places. Get the pupusas and skip the rest of the menu.

Tried their Pupusas and I must say they were actually pretty good and the service was great from the cashier to the two ladies in the kitchen preparing the food👍🏻 I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious pupusas.

I’ve never had El Salvadoran food before but one of the waiters was kind enough to walk me through the menu during a busy time.

Ordered the pork papusa and the bean and cheese papusa, both came out piping hot having been made fresh. The cooks were singing over the grill as food cooked, atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, familial. Food was absolutely delicious, and worth the wait. Will definitely be back.

My FAVORITE torta spot!! I may be basic but their ham and cheese tortas are hard to beat, they’re so good!! 😋 Can’t go wrong with the pupusas too, they’re delicious!!! Just know you going to have to wait 20min for them because they come out fresh 👌 …

WORST experience EVER. I’m very embarrassed on how they treated me and my friends. They never had pupusas so I recommended them to try it. These girls working were laughing & making fun of us. They blasted the music off a speaker they brought in. It was like a Club where we were yelling to hear each other & kept asking each other to repeat what the other said. It gave us a headache. Yo le pregunté a la muchacha si pudiera bajar la musica Porque no podía escuchar a los demas hablar. Me dijo que sí pero se rieron y le subieron más. Even though I asked them to turn the music down just a little, they laughed & turned it up even more. When we were leaving my friend told the girl in pink that we couldn’t hear each other talk over the music. She said, “It’s our restaurant. So you need to understand.” Then burst out laughing along with the other girls. Disappointed. First Pupusa experience ruined.
