I have had plain cheese pupusas before and was never a big fan, but we decided to take it as the staff was so apologetic and kind and we didn't want to wait longer for food.

I only wish the pupuseria was open later, especially on Fridays/Saturdays, but the food is always worth it! Note of caution: compliance to COVID precautions isn't the most consistent.

This little homey Latin food spot felt like it came out of Queens NY and not a suburban NJ town. Service is pretty informal and the woman working when we went wasn't totally fluent in English, but she was so warm and we didn't have any hitches with ordering. We went on an off-hour on a weekday so they were apparently out of most of their entrees except for a selection at their hot bar, but the pupusas were still available and that's what I wanted anyway. I ordered a loroco and revuelta pupusa plus a baleada just because I hadn't tried one before. The pupusas were hot and fresh and absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside and oozing with cheese on the inside. They came with a little slaw/salad and a delicious red sauce that I liked so much the server got me a second bowl and I cleaned both up! The baleada was sort of like a quesadilla with beans and eggs rather than cheese in a flour tortilla, which was alright but the pupusas just blew it out of the water. I also had a bit of the bistec encebollada, which was tasty and tender and a super generous portion. The food was super affordable for the portions and quality, and they do accept credit card. Really happy we stumbled upon this place, and would recommend anyone coming through town or working in the nearby offices check this spot out!

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.

It looks more like a takeout place, but it's got seating if you wanna stay in and eat. I got four revueltas pupusas (2 fish, 2 meat) and a plain corn tamale. The pupusas were super hot and fragile, so I had to eat them with a fork and knife instead of like a taco. They were very good, especially with their green and red sauces. The red sauce had a decent amount of heat, but i liked the clean flavor of the green sauce more. At less than $3.00 per pupusa, it's a cheap, tasty, and filling meal. The tamale was like an under cooked cornbread. The sour cream on top helped bring out the sweetness of the corn. Good spot for cheap eats
