Amazing Salvadoran Experience in Santa Ana!…read more I had one of the best meals I've had in Orange County at this Salvadorian spot! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of authentic pupusas and traditional dishes made my mouth water. Every bite was bursting with flavor -- the pupusas were perfectly handmade, fresh, and cheesy, and the tamales were rich and satisfying. The portions were generous, and the prices were more than fair for the quality of food you get. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and truly passionate about the food they serve. It's clear they care about giving customers a real taste of Salvadoran cuisine -- I'll definitely be coming back soon and bringing friends to share this hidden gem. Highly recommend if you love authentic Latin flavors and great service!

The food here is good been here twice but today the place was already packed to begin with, and…read morethey keep taking orders to go for so many which made the food take longer to the people already waiting inside to eat they took forever to bring my eggs which I had asked before if was going to take long and then said no so I said okay I waited 30 mins and still they brought no eggs so I got up to ask if they were going to take longer to cancel my order which she immediately cancel I'm assuming she forgot about it. Which would've been fine but I think if there under staff they should've be taking so many orders they can't handle some guy was told 1 hour for just a bread with beans and to top it off the wait was ridiculous and they have no public restroom for the costumers and the people working there this lady with blonde hair just seems so annoyed to be working there.

Pupusas were fantastic and came out piping hot! They are all made to order so be patient. It took about 15-20 minutes to come out. Yes, it takes a while, but totally worth the wait. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I haven't tried many Salvadorian restaurants but those that I have, very honestly weren't my favorite. A friend recommended this place for us to try since she's been coming for years and wow.....From the first bite I knew this place was going to make amazing food. If you've ever been to a place that feels like you're eating at home even if it's not your cultural food, this is it! The service is amazing, the business owner takes your order and is absolutely sweet. I will continue to recommend this space to others!

I appreciate that the restaurant offers the original pupusa salsa without spiciness and one with spice. As a Salvadoran, that is the first thing I look for when reviewing a Salvadoran Restaurant. The curtido was delicious. I would come back and try other dishes.

My husband and his coworkers have been here a few times and he's brought me food to go but we all…read moredecided to meet up again so I got to try it in person. Let me tell you - the service is great. We were celebrating a birthday and while we were singing happy birthday they played a happy birthday song on the speaker which was such a nice touch. The food is so delicious! We all ended up getting pupusas and I'm always left wanting more so definitely get some to go! I will say it takes a while to get the food so order as soon as you get there but I take that as a positive because you know your food is fresh. I love the accompaniments like the curtido (fermented cabbage) and the salsa roja - most of the time when I eat pupusas the curtido isn't good but we had 3 jars of it at our table and we pretty much demolished it all. The only negative was that it was pretty hot in there. They do have fans going but I feel like it really didn't do much. Either way - this is the main meet up spot for them so I'm sure I'll definitely be back.

I come here specifically for their tamales de pollo. The BEST tamales I've ever had in my life…read more They wrap them in banana leaves rather than corn husks and it's incredible. The masa is moist and buttery, while the filling of chicken and potato bursts with flavor. I could literally eat 10 of them in one sitting. My mouth is watering right now while thinking of them. Staff is always super friendly - even when I use my 3 years of high school broken Spanish. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu but that tamale will forever have my heart.

It's a small shop, Spanish is the primary language spoken but the folks do their best to get your order. This place is worth every dollar. I usually order out so I cannot speak to the service or the ambiance but the food is too good to not try. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the chicken & cheese pupusa, you will not be disappointed!

4.5 star because extra charges…read more My mom was craving pupusas, and when your mom wants something, you get it! I was in Santa Ana for work (I don't live nearby) and found this spot on Yelp. First off, parking is limited but available, which is a plus for a food truck. They also have an outdoor table if you want to eat there--very cool vibe. The truck offers more than just pupusas, which is great for those looking for variety. I especially loved that they have vegetarian options. The cheese pupusas were amazing--super cheesy and flavorful. My mom was satisfied, and that's what matters! The prices are pretty cheap, but it can get expensive if you use a card. They charge an extra dollar plus higher taxes compared to paying with cash, which is a bit inconvenient since not everyone carries cash these days. Overall, great food and a good experience. Just remember to bring cash if you want to save a little!

I went to this place to try Chilate with Nuegados but the plátanos is con miel had a really bad…read moretaste so I call the waitress and ask him if they can give more nuegados and take away the plantain that taste really bad like spoil old food ! So the guy told me they were cook in the morning and I was there like 7:30 p.m so I told them that please give me another order or nuegados cause those taste fresh and he told me that the plantain where in the order so I have to pay them . I ask the guy where is a manager or owner and he act like didn't heard me . I told him I will pay them but I don't want them , then the guys was happy about it ? But this is sad to pay for a food that it tastes like old bananas or plantain. it was a really sad experience . They don't want to be responsible for a bad food they sale ? Is our money , our hard work , and if we desire to try something that you don't cook at home , it should be worth your money right ? I feel very disappointed and sad . I think I will never go back to that place ! My apologies to the owners of this place but the guys that works there don't care about making people feel happy about your food . They don't care about clients , they just want to make their hours and leave . I hope they make it better one day . We are Salvadorian and we should be more kind to people . We are human beings you know ! So sorry for saying all this but it has to be said . Thank you
