I was trying to find a decent barbecue restaurant on Austell Rd because I had errands in the area and I stumbled across this place. Lol. Not barbecue, so I'm not sure why it popped up in my recommendations, but when I saw that they had pupusas, I decided to give them a try.
Interior / Exterior
My navigation did not find them, but I was prepared so I already knew they were located in Clay Plaza, at the intersection of Clay and Austell Rd. Landmarks - there's an emissions testing garage in the parking lot. The interior was bright and open. The place was packed with folks having lunch.
Food
While there wasn't a huge amount of things to choose from on the menu, everything sounded delicious. Before leaving, I checked out the baked goods and while they looked pretty tasty, I didn't purchase anything.
Also - they have a small 'buffet' right near the register with stuff like tamales, egg tortas and chicken empanadas.
I ordered the grilled steak. It comes with 'salad,' rice pilaf, beans, and 2 thick flour tortillas. I also ordered a chicken & cheese pupusa for later. I asked if I could substitute the beans & rice for fries. Odd choice, I know - but beans don't always agree with me, so I try not to be too adventurous unless I know I'm going straight home. Lol.
I enjoyed my steak. It was a little chewy, but I knew it was gonna be beforehand. It appeared to have been marinated in a mixture of vinegar and various spices. Server misunderstood and gave me fries and rice, so my meal looks a little odd in the photo. "D@mn, Gina! You gone have TWO starches!" Remember that Martin episode? Lol.
My pupusa was not great. I didn't see or taste any chicken and I think they may have accidentally given me a cheese pupusa.
Customer service
The server / cashier was super friendly. There were only 2 servers and they were full of energy and appeared to be doing a great job taking care of everyone.
Overall
Overall, I enjoyed my food and I thought the customer service was good. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more
