Tamales were cold. Hardly any chicken inside and they tried to stretch by adding potatoes. The chicken had a orange color like they used Sazon but no flavor and you have to ask for salsa. I will try again elsewhere. I think I got it mixed up with another business nearby. read more

Bread is always so stale and pork tamales never have any meat in them. It's just masa and they are barely fully cooked

This place has been the same for more than ten years. Need to upgrade more. No chips and salsa. You have to ask for Sauce which taste a week old. Needs to do better overall read more

I loved the ambience of this place and the fun atmosphere. Definitely not a place I would've noticed if it weren't for yelp because it's sort of hidden behind a Valero. I went on a cold evening and seeing the blazing neon blue lights from the parking lot definitely was welcoming! The El Salvadorean/Honduran pride was ubiquitous and equally charming! I was welcomed by a very sweet lady who greeted my roommate and I in Spanish! Thankfully the both of us speak it so it really wasn't a problem for us :) Now for the food. The pupusas were every bit as amazing as how others have described them!!!! I got the one that was "queso con loroco". Definitely something I'll be coming back for regularly!!!! The horchata was great too and definitely different from the Spanish or Mexican variety in the sense that it was less milk and more cinnamon and sugar. Unfortunately, my barbacoa torta was not what I had hoped for. The size was great but it lacked meat and flavor. I don't know whether that's how this specific variety is made but it just was not something I particularly enjoyed. My roommate ordered chicken flautas and described them as "average". She also mentioned that she wished that it came with a slice of avocado or two and spicier salsa. As I said before the ambience is fun and the pupusas are off the chain :) I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Siempre he ido a comer allí, pero esta vez se pasaron, los plátanos todos quemados, y negros, como que los pusieron a freír en el mismo aceite del pollo! I've always gone to eat there, but this time they went overboard, the bananas all burned, and black, like they were fried in the same oil as the chicken!!!! read more

I swung by this spot before having to work at a concert about a block or two away. Amazing quality and very low prices! I had some chicken with a side salad, rice, and beans. Very quick and inexpensive spot for lunch if you're in the area! Very good! read more

We were in Arlington to watch A&M BTHO Arkansas...again. Needed breakfast tacos and found this gem. No tacos (Salvadoran food) but their huge breakfast burritos did the job and were delicious. We walked back to eat after the game. I had their Tipico Salvadoran specialty plate and my wife had the Pollo Guisada. Wow!!! We're tex-mex lovers from San Antonio. It's different but very good. There were a few people in there but that place should have been packed with people waiting for traffic to ease up. read more

Ok food but when it came to the check they added a dollar for each plate. When we asked why it was different from the menu the waitress said that they have there own price. Coffee was supposed to be free since we were there before 11 but since the waitress didn't give us the check till after 11 we had to pay. read more

I am only giving it a 2 star rating because the waitress what super sweet. She just couldn't understand us. :/ I got a cheese enchilada plate, and it was good. Your basic enchiladas..Now my boyfriend on the other hand got something..and we couldn't quite figure out what it was. It smelt terrible and tasted worst than the actual smell! I was so sad for him...but we couldn't do anything about it. I ended up just finishing my enchilada (bc why waste good food) and leaving. and don't get the queso. I think it's out of a can? Idk...At least spices it up a bit! Maybe the food was suppose to taste that way, and we just weren't used to it. Still sad about that experience! read more

Went into this little strip mall older center to have a breakfast. I wanted to try pupusas but I didn't see what I wanted on the menu so I ordered a simple breakfast burrito with chorizo in it and it was good small light breakfast and tried a side taco of Al Pastore but the meat was a bit chewy and corn tortillas tasted freshly made. I might go back but too many other better choices around town so I don't know if I will. read more

First time dining here and the waitress who greeted me could tell. So she went over the menu and gave recommendations. There was so much I wanted to try. The pictures of the dishes really helped. I ordered the steak torta, which is very reasonably priced for the size. Very delicious, with fresh bread and toppings. Again, so much on the menu I want to try, I will definitely be back. read more

Why is this place 4 stars. Waitress is really nice but service is really poor. Carne Asada was room temp and thin and tough, yuck. Plantain was good, horchata was great, chips and salsa good. Wife's enchiladas were ok but the beans were served cold. Extremely sub standard read more

Ran into this place after we had some biz to take care of in that area and were starving like marvin. Anyhow, it is a Latin restaurant that serves Mexican, Salvadoran and Nicaraguan plates so we decided to give it a try since we were also craving some legit food. We ordered some Tacos and some Pupusas (think of a stuffed pita) and were very pleased. The rice and beans were on point! The salsas were good and were glad we decided to dice the roll on this place. you gotta try it! read more

Bathroom is so dirty and so is the place, smells like a complete shit hole. After using the bathroom, we sat down to order and the menu was very limited. We decided to leave and go somewhere else and the lady serving us told us that since I used the bathroom, we had to eat there. After she saw how we reacted, she let us leave. So rude and cheap!! Do not go here!! read more

The tacos were great, service was so so, the restaurant was dirty, after we sat down someone came over to sweep under the table. No one was in the restaurant so the place shouldn't have been dirty at all. The chips were stale and not very good. read more

Very good food! authentic! love this place, its small inside but its got a cozy feel to it. overall, its great here. read more

Pupusas were great...tamales just ok..only had chicken in half..the rest just corn...but it did have a great flavor

A hole in the wall, but excellent food and friendly service...highly recommended! By the way, no alcohol served.

I just have to write a review on this place ! I came to this location the day of wrestlemania ! we stopped by before the show was going to start since it was across the street & I had been craving pupusas for the longest ! coming from California I wanted to see if there was a difference in how the pupusas tasted & there was a difference not a bad difference though ! those pupusas were so tasty & definitely hit the spot before a long day we had if I ever go back to Texas I'll have to go back for some pupusas ! read more

Food was great! It's definitely a hole in the wall but with great eats. Unfortunately the service is not good. Even for an inexpensive restaurant there should be some interaction done. My server only came to my table to take the order and drop the check. Overall, the food is wonderful. Don't expect any decent service read more

best Salvadorean and Mexican food in town excellent menudo served every day I ordered everything on the menu and everything taste great!!!!Can't make it to San Antonio this the place great authentic food!!! Breakfast,lunch and dinner read more

I used to LOVE this place, but I think they have new staff. Pupusas and tamales were the best but now they are bland and not well cooked . Customer service is alright , the ladies always seem to be in a bad mood. I hope their food gets better, I will definitely go back to check it out. read more
