    Carne Asada Tacos
    Kristi C.

    Walking in, this restaurant doesn't look like much. The sodas are canned or bottled in a refrigerator at the front. There's no alcohol. The waitress spoke light English and we struggled a bit with communication. Once the food came out though, we were impressed. The pupusas were amazing. The cheese were the best. We ordered the sampler platter which came out at the same time as our meal instead of in advance. The food was hot and fresh. The pupusas on the platter were really good. The plantains were average. There were some meat pockets that were really tasty. I'm not a yucca fan, but someone else at the table thought they were good. The tamale seemed to have a potato in the middle which was weird and didn't get eaten. I had the pollo en crema. The sauce was excellent. The rice was as expected for a Salvadoran dish and went well with the meal. The chicken was moist except it was a bit hardened in areas. I think it had been sitting a bit too long after it was cooked. The beans were not anything to speak of, but were fine. Several in our party got the carne asada tacos. They all liked them. However, after eating one, the salt on the meat became a little overpowering and some of them did not finish them. One person got the burrito and thought it was excellent. Overall, it was a tasty place with some meals you won't find in a lot of places in Omaha. We thought it seemed clean and the food was hot. If you are looking for a Salvadorian restaurant, this one is pretty good.

    Tortilla chips and salsa. Pretty plain.

    Saw the reviews and thought I should give it a try. I love pupusa! They brought out fried flour tortillas chips which were fine and the salsa was very runny with a plain taste. They had a bag of yucca chips for sale and they were wonderful! The orange colored sauce for the pupusa is like a cold thin enchilada sauce and wonderful! The slaw had less vinegar than I am used to on a pupusa. It was just slaw and no liquid. The pupusa looked like it would be greasy but it wasn't and I loved the flavor. I had the pork, bean and cheese. Tamale was very good and not too dry or too mushy. I haven't seen a chicken sandwich so I thought I would give it a try too. It had way too much mayo for me. I wasn't in love with the sauce in the chicken. I would try anything else on the menu!

    I can not say enough great things about this place a true hidden gem in Omaha. Prices are very low, but food taste and quality are Awesome.

    Moved from Arizona. Hoped food and customer service would have been good. Neither were good. Very disappointed.

    This was my first foray into pupusa's, and I must say I'm impressed. This restaurant is a very good value and serves delicious food!

    Just had an early lunch there. Had eaten there once before many years ago, it was great then. Today…read morenot so much. Had the Salvadoran tamales. I have had Salvadoran tamales in more than a few places and states. I just love them.Todays were the worst I have had. The masa was under cooked and one was only a quarter filled with chicken. Must have been the last one made in that batch. Ordered a margarita with no luck, tried for a beer next. was told the girl that handles alcohol just left. Server said she had a hard time serving alcohol. How hard is it to "Pop a top".

    Another Salvadorian place???…read more I feel like my access to Salva-poo-poo (aka pupusas) are almost as numerous as Omaha potholes! Out of all the Salvadorian places, I would say this place has the largest menu coupled with the highest prices (you got to pay the over achieving menu maker somehow!!) Unfortunately you can't get dollar poo-poo here... BUT you can compliment your poo with some plantains and Salva crema! I have a Salva friend who educated me on the wonders of eating plantains, queso blanco, beans and crema like they do it back in El Salvador. This place had just that - score!! It's definitely not for everyone because I remember the salty/sweet/soccer/salva tastes that threw my mouth into a slight state of confusion; yet still induced some Salvadorian saliva dripping down my chin. (that's a good thing) We had the garlic fish dish (only get this if you like whole fried fish) and there was so much garlic, I had to use the fish bones to clean my teeth out. I love garlic more than my nonexistent children, but being on Team Edward, I need to keep the g-lic on the DL mmmkrrr! The poo-poos (which is a MUST at a Salva place) were just meh. Not bad by any means, but just... meh-diocre. I think I would rather go to the poo-poo palace on 17th and Vinton for some dollar-make-my-belly-holla cheap poos. I guess if you are in the area and you want bigger menu (size queens...) including all your mexi classics, check this place out. But ONLY if you order at least one p-poo!!!
