My boyfriend is Salvadoran, so we're always on the hunt for great pupusas and yuca frita. We…read moreusually make the drive to North Hollywood, but decided to give this place a try--and it definitely did not disappoint! We started with the ensalada, which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. For pupusas, we ordered the revueltas, loroco con queso, and frijol con queso. We tried both corn and rice dough, and honestly, both were delicious. My personal favorite was the frijol con queso with the rice dough- so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The yuca frita was exactly how it should be: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicharrón was cooked perfectly as well, and the homemade green salsa that the sweet lady helping us made was the perfect addition. She was so kind, welcoming, and always had a friendly smile, which made the experience even better. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant is. It's spacious, with plenty of seating whether you're coming with a large group, your family, or just stopping by for a meal on your own. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. Next time we're bringing my Salvadoran in-laws- I have a feeling this place will get their authenticity approval too! Spanish! :) Mi novio es salvadoreño, así que siempre estamos en busca de unas buenas pupusas y una rica yuca frita. Normalmente vamos hasta North Hollywood, pero decidimos probar este lugar y, la verdad, ¡no nos decepcionó para nada! Empezamos con la ensalada, que estaba deliciosa, fresca y con el toque perfecto de dulzura. Pedimos pupusas de revueltas, loroco con queso y frijol con queso. Probamos unas de masa de maíz y otras de masa de arroz, y las dos estaban buenísimas. Mi favorita fue la de frijol con queso; tenía muchísimo sabor y estaba perfectamente preparada. La yuca frita estaba en su punto: crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. El chicharrón también estaba perfectamente cocinado, y la salsa verde casera que preparó la señora que nos atendió fue el complemento perfecto. Ella fue muy amable, atenta y siempre nos recibió con una sonrisa, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Otra cosa que realmente me llamó la atención fue lo limpio que está el restaurante. Además, es bastante amplio, con mucho espacio para sentarse, ya sea que vayas con un grupo grande, con tu familia o incluso si vas a comer solo. Nos encantó este lugar y definitivamente vamos a regresar. La próxima vez traeremos a mis suegros, que son salvadoreños, y estoy casi segura de que también le darán su sello de autenticidad.

So many five star reviews, I'm here to add another!…read more Ordered online, picked up for lunch, what a treat! I got 3 pupusas revueltas to go. Service was quick, there is a big dining room with plenty of seating in case you want to dine in, looked very clean. Massive pupusas with a lot of filling, not one of those restaurants that give you nothing but masa, these pupusas were legit. They come with Curtido and the usual salsa roja. So much flavor packed into these things, these are some of the best pupusas I've ever had, good size and they do not cheap us out on filling. Definitely try em if you're in the area! Parking on the street, or in the back very limited in the alley.

MIL got panza aka stomach in sauce with rice and beans with tortillas. ( this dish had an ok portion) My hubby got fried bamboo shoot with sauce with rice beans and bread. (Only came with one) Hubby also got some fried plantains on the side. ( for almost 5 bucks) I got chicharron with rice beans and tortillas. ( only comes with 2 tiny pieces) They give very small portions lol felt like a toddler portion lol. I mean rice and beans don't cost much so I don't understand why they were being so extremely skimpy on the main dish portions. So usually my plate i ordered comes with only 2 tiny pieces of chicharron and I mean super small. The nice lady serving us gave me 3 because she knew that I'm a big girl and I needed more lol. Which i really appreciated but even 3 tiny pieces wasn't enough for the price. The food was ok but you should never leave a restaurant feeling ripped off and still hungry. The atmosphere was inviting even had authentic Guatemalan music being sang by a nice gentleman. It was really nice. We also got a few pastries they were ok. Everything was a little overpriced in my opinion especially for the portions given. Most definitely won't be returning and 3 stars is me being generous. It's more like 2 to 2 and half stars. Like I said no one should leave feeling hungry afterwards.

It doesn't help things that I ordered the weirdest thing on the menu and expected it to somehow be good. Pacayas, cooked palm flower, looks like the vegetable form of an octopus and has a bit of a bitter flavor. The type of thing you can check off the culinary bucket list and then go back to ordering pupusas and fried plantains. I think I'll be sticking with that on the next visit and I suspect the rating will go up then.

Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. I ordered nacatamales to go and was given one that was not fully cooked. My mom ate some of it and didn't realize it until after she had eaten some of the masa and noticed that the rice and pork inside were still undercooked. She later became ill. Undercooked pork can pose a serious health risk, so this was especially concerning. To make matters worse, my mom used the restroom and noticed toilet paper in the trash that had fecal matter on it. It was extremely unhygienic and honestly disgusting. The only positive thing I can say about this visit was that the customer service was good. Unfortunately, the food safety and cleanliness issues overshadowed that, and I would not feel comfortable returning.

Meanwhile, customers who ordered AFTER us were seated, served, and had already FINISHED their meals while we were still standing around waiting for a simple to-go order. At 2:28 PM, I finally asked how much longer our food would take, and I was told, "15 more minutes." That means we were potentially waiting over 40 minutes for a to-go order, with absolutely no communication or explanation for the delay. How does two tables that orders after us get their food, eat, and are finished before our order is even ready? This is unacceptable service. If there was going to be such a long wait, we should have been told upfront instead of being left waiting and having to ask for an update ourselves. Very frustrating and completely unacceptable all for 3 pupusas En español Servicio extremadamente decepcionante. Hicimos nuestro pedido para llevar a las 2:05 PM y a las 2:32 PM TODAVÍA seguíamos esperando nuestra comida. Mientras, vimos a otras personas que ordenaron DESPUÉS que nosotros sentarse, recibir su comida y hasta TERMINAR de comer mientras nosotros seguíamos esperando un simple pedido para llevar. A las 2:28 PM tuve que preguntar cuánto tiempo más iba a tardar, y me dijeron que serían "15 minutos más". Eso significa que estaríamos esperando más de 40 minutos por un pedido para llevar, sin ninguna explicación ni comunicación sobre la demora. Como es posible que dos mesa's que ordeno después que nosotros haya recibido su comida, comido y terminado antes de que nuestro pedido estuviera listo? Es un servicio completamente inaceptable. Si iba a haber una espera tan larga, debieron avisarnos desde el principio en lugar de dejarnos esperando y tener que preguntar nosotros mismos por una actualización. Muy frustrante y definitivamente no es un servicio que esperaría de un restaurante. Para 3 pupusas
