There was one woman behind the counter when I arrived but the restaurant was otherwise empty and deserted. It looked like like no one had been there all day. There's also no set menu apparently as the hot dishes rotate daily. I was there for the pupusas so I didn't focus too much on their hot food. They offer bean and cheese, plain cheese, loroco and cheese and pork and cheese. Each pupusa was $3.75. The owner made the pupusas fresh to order. I told her I was going to the bank so I could pay in cash since I was short on change. I was a little off put when she asked me to leave what I had in the meantime so she could start on the order. I said "like a deposit?". I guess some people order and then don't return? I assured her I would be back to pick up the food. She seemed almost relieved when I actually did return with the money. The pupusas were actually pretty good and tasted fresh. They're not as good as my usual spot or as heavily stuffed. These felt more snacky and less meal sized but still a fine substitute. They came with curtido and salsa. The curtido wasn't great but I liked the salsa.

The location is quite inconspicuous and could be termed a hole in the wall, but we were eager to try their pupusas after hearing they were made nearby. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, with only a couple of individuals at the bar and a small party at a table. The waiter swiftly greeted us and advised us of the menu. We ordered four of each type of pupusa (Frijol y Queso and Revueltas) and a tamal. However, we were shocked when our order took about an hour to arrive, despite the fact that the restaurant was not particularly busy. While we waited, we noticed other items being sent out for delivery or pickup, but we never received an update on our order. When we eventually got our dinner, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the pupusas and tamal were delicious. Perhaps we were just hungry, but the taste was delicious. After our food arrived, the server was attentive, but we would have appreciated more communication during the lengthy wait. We also had to pay in cash, despite the fact that the sign outside claimed they accepted all cards, which was inconvenient and just a piece of a paper on the wall said cash only Sluna Restaurant & Bar was a unique dining experience. Based on our wait time and lack of communication about our order, it appears to be a better option to order for delivery or pickup rather than dining in.

I'm sure that kind of food takes a long time to prepare each ingredient. The service was great too. Their clientele is all Salvadorian, this place is legit. We went with a group of 4 and all ordered one of their exotic fruit juices and Popusas. I got the zucchini and cheese (one of my faves), Beans, chorizo and cheese Popusa (delish) and split a cheese Poposa (wow! Should've gone with that one from the beginning! Simple but wow, so good) A friend ordered the plantains and crema, he said they were ok. You will not go wrong with the Popusas. The place is a nice humble establishment but that's authentic.
