    Chili verde super burrito bowl
    Mike S.

    This is hands down the best El Salvadorian food in the state! Family run and authentic in every way. Service was friendly and food came out quick. It's a laid back vibe with some outdoor seating for when the weather gets nicer. There aren't a lot of places that make pupusas, and even fewer that make them so fluffy and full of flavor! Out of all the amazing food on Mississippi this is one of the most reasonably priced as well. Definitely going to be in our regular rotation going forward!

    Cheese and Loroco Pupusa
    Sierra D.

    Overall great experience and yummy good! Super nice staff and lots of seating options. Ordered a chile relleno plate and a cheese a loroco pupusa. The person ringing us up told us the chile relleno were going to be extra fresh (they just finished stuffing the peppers and were about to fry them up). However, we ended up being disappointed because the cheese wasn't melted at all and the relleno wasn't super warm. Wondering if this is because it was so fresh that it wasn't reheated and didn't have a chance to really heat up and melt. Even still, the flavor was really good and I loved the very thin breading and generous amount of sauce! On the other hand, the pupusa was incredible, VERY melty and cheesy! Loved the slaw and sauce that came with it. Would definitely come back here are try different pupusas and the chile relleno burrito!

    Crispy Taco was F'ing fire
    Terrance S.

    Gotta say this was a hidden surprise as we were just walking down the street and the wife wanted to try something new. Everything from the shell to the texture of the meat, the cheese, and other ingredients were fire. I will definitely be returning for another experience. That will probably close the gap and bring it to 5 stars. Staff was very welcoming and inviting. Great location and environment.

    Two Pupusa Plate with beans & rice
    Penny S.

    You've got to try this Salvadoran & Mexican place on Mississippi! They are so friendly! I love pupusas (my friend is married to an El Salvadoran man and taught me how to make them). They are even better if I don't have to make them! We both got the 2 pupusa plate that came with beans & rice. I got one zucchini & cheese and chicken & cheese. My husband got jalapeño & cheese and zucchini & cheese. He liked the jalapeño one best and I liked the zucchini the best but honestly they were both excellent. We ate outside under a shelter, but inside was super clean and colorful. The restroom was very clean too. Come eat at Bicho's-especially if you haven't had a pupusa!

    My daughter wanted to try this place and glad we did. The super tacos are pretty big and worth the cost , the papusas were also very good. The workers were all very friendly. We went around 1130 am and it wasn't too busy so got seated quick and also food we ordered was ready pretty quick.

    Pretty solid pupusa as far as texture goes, and it wasn't greasy. However, it was just not very flavorful. I suppose I'm pretty spoiled because my mother in law makes freaken amazing ones. Lots of options to try and friendly service.

    The food was good! I feel like it could have been a bit less oily or maybe that's just their style? The Salvadorian horchata was very good! Tasted great and it had a great after taste. The service was also good! A little slow but I'm sure the food takes time, so I'm not complaining! 4/5 stars - I'm just not a big oil fan. Especially when you lift the food up and it's just a pool of oil.

    Mild Salsa (8 oz.)
    Amy A.

    Very cute vibrant decor. The best part was the cheese and jalapeno pupupsa. Amazing cheese pull. The $8.00 chips and salsa was not fresh. Chips were stale and the salsa was more than mild, it was about as spicy a catsup. Been and rice were solid and the chile relleno was better than average. For 2 relleno plates 1 pupusa and chips and salsa, no drinks was almost $50. Order at the counter with self service. Glad we tried it but won't return.

    Super burrito, papusas

    F'ing phenomenal food. Grilled chicken super burrito was huge and lasted 2 meals. Couldn't recommend this place more, everything was fresh to order.

    This place was great. Really good service, great pupusas, and tasty horchata. Folks working there were really nice and the restaurant seems like a nice place to sit and eat. We ordered for pickup but looking forward to spending more time there!

    Carne asada burrito
    Denise M.

    We love Mexican food so we're excited to try this Mexican and El Salvadorian food. We loved the carne asada burritos and quesadilla. The El Salvador and Horchata was delicious. The service was friendly and fast. We look forward to returning.

    I came out here to try one of the "super pupusas" I'd seen somewhere on the internet…read more I ordered a super pupusa with chicken. The woman who took my order was really nice, but I don't think she should have been taking orders. Even with me being bilingual and her daughter helping translate, she had a hard time understanding what I wanted, even though I was reading it directly from their menu. The wait time was short. Everything was fresh. The pupusa dough, the veggies, the toppings-- I loved everything except the chicken, which tasted like it had been boiled or canned at some point. But that's my fault for ordering chicken from a Latino food cart, knowing they sometimes take these chicken shortcuts. The salsa and queso fresco were both bomb. 5 stars on both of those. The portion size was a decent value for the price. It was too much food for me to eat in just one sitting. If I came back again, I would order literally any meat other than chicken. I might even ask how it's cooked first, just to be sure. Overall I thought it was pretty good, and I would definitely come back again. (I just wouldn't get the chicken.)

From the moment I walked in, the experience was top-notch. The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and took the time to walk me through the menu, which I really appreciated. I played it safe with my go-to jalapeño pupusa (because it's always a win), but the carne guisada plate caught my eye--and I'm so glad I decided to try something new. I mean, who doesn't love a little variety and leftovers? Let me tell you... the flavors were unreal. As the plate was brought to the table, the aroma alone had me salivating before it even touched down. The carne guisada was like a warm, comforting, flavor-packed stew--tender beef, carrots, potatoes, and zucchini cooked perfectly. It came with a small salad drizzled in the most delicious cilantro dressing and a scoop of rice that tied everything together beautifully. If you're craving a supercharged pot roast-style stew flavor, do yourself a favor and order this. Seriously--don't skip it. And can we talk about the salsa bar? So many options! I loved that almost every condiment had jalapeños, because let's be honest--we all need a little spice in our lives Needless to say, I definitely won't be waiting so long to come back. Can't wait for my next visit!

There's 8 food carts outside, inside there are a cute little bar, a handcrafted churros, a Xocotl, mini market. On site parking for about 15 cars, then street parking at a very busy intersection so look at all directions before you walk or cross anywhere. I would definitely come back to check out the rest of the food carts when I get really hungry. For today's quick brunch while having out with a few friends, my orders were okay with the exception of fried sweet plantains. You just can't go wrong with fried sweet plantains, right? From the La Carreta Pura Vida, Costa Rican cart, I wanted the fish ceviche since I love and prefer the lime based for fish ceviche style. The cashier said they was out. She convinced me to get the Grilled Tilapia Fillet because it came with side salad, black bean, rice, and you guessed it, sweet fried plantains! I also got the watermelon with lemon. My total at this cart was $21.50. The tilapia was about 3-5 oz and salty with no flavor, salad and black been were typical, but the fried sweet plantains saved the day. The drink was okay, and not much taste of either watermelon or lemon. To got rid of the salty dish taste, I ordered plain churros mini for $5.00 from Don Bigote. They were supper busy! It took almost half an hour for my order. They do have a big menu. The churros were made fresh to order. Their sign shows handcrafted churros! I like the churros but didn't care for the artificial strawberries jelly sauce. Xocotl looked good with all the fresh fruits only so I ordered the Diablito for $7.99 since it supposed to have tamarind fruit which I love. I asked to make sure the fruit was actual tamarind and the staff said there's about 3 oz of tamarind. It was rather disappointed with slushy watery iced with some flavor tamarind.

Do you want beef soup that you eat it with a spoon? No need to cut your beef with a knife, because the meat was so tender and deliciously blended. Her work team and her efforts are incredible; this is my secret spot when I want to eat like a human, no industrial food here!
