Salvadorian Horchata
Anika M.

Staff is friendly and provides quick service. I like to visit during lunch time on Saturday as this place does tend yo get busier for dinner. I usually get the same plate as it always hits the spot. I did try the Ensalada beverage and it does have a lot of flavor but is on the sweeter side.

C RATING
Yvette A.

C RATING In general we love pupusas. However, I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. I had to send my pupusa back; I have never in my life sent a pupusa back. Horchata tasted watered down. Curtido was lacking flavor and they give you very little by comparison. There was an older lady walking around eating in the kitchen area. I was ready to walk out, but we were hungry. Server was cleaning both tables and chairs with the same rag. Service is hypocritical. Let the C rating speak for itself (which is tucked away behind the register area, not visible on the door).

Cheese And Fried Pork Revueltas Pupusa
Sandra V.

The place is a hole in the mom and pop type of restaurant, nothing grand but clean and service is good. Ordered four pork and cheese (revueltas) to go and they were delicious. First time here and parking is not the best but would give them try again. I love that their salsa is not spicy means they're authentic. The curtido was really good too.

Carne Asada, Queso con Frijoles Pupusa & Tipico!
Camilla T.

The food was delicious! We ordered the Carne Asada breakfast plate and lunch/dinner plate. We also ordered pupusas and the Salvadoran corn cakes. Everything was tasty. The service was slow as there were probably 5 tables and people placing to-go orders and only one person cooking and one waitress waiting all the tables & bagging the orders. (So 2 people running this place). The server was very friendly and did a great job. The place is a mom & pop, hole in the wall type restaurant. It's big so if you live in the area, it's a nice place to come have dinner with your family and could hold large groups if they had more servers :)

We were in the area and we can across this El Salvadorian family restaurant in our research for a quick bite. We were lucky and we found a parking right outside the restaurant. The restaurant was very neat and clean. Our waitress was very helpful and patient to explain to us their different dishes. We ended up ordering mix of Cheese Pupusas made from wheat and corn. We were very happy with it. We also ordered their carne Asada platter and it was delicious. I was very happy with my experience and will definitely come here again when I'm in the area

For a "whole in the wall" and a small family owned restaurant, this place wins! We were starving and in the area so Yelp lead us here. We are so glad we tried this spot. Our waitress was friendly and fast. The food came out fast. And the chefs in the back looked liked they were cooking the meals they cooked in El Salvador. It reminded me of when I was in Central America visiting family. It felt very homey. The pupusas...what can I say! They were the star! They were so yummy and authentic. We had a plate that had crema, Salvadorean cheese, beans and rice with bread. Omg! Talk about comforting, we ordered a whole other plate of that. I would come back because it transported me to El Salvador. My niece got a soup it reminded her of grandma, just the way grandma makes it at home. They overflowed her bowl and were general in their portion. I definitely book marked this place because we hope to come back. The only complaint is the bathroom. Unfortunately Areli, the bathroom is by the door so I saw two people come in to just use the restroom so it's tagged up and the toilet seat, I can't even describe it. So come here for the food, and use the bathroom before you come lol.

Breakfast item; Tipico. Substituted refried bean for casamiento. Added jam and veggies to my eggs.
