First time trying pupusas and I'm so glad I came here! It's a traditional Salvadorian restaurant…read moreserving up amazing pupusas at a great price. Lots of indoor seating -- a simple, no‑frills spot -- but the food is where they really shine. We ordered the chicken tamale, carne asada pupusa, bean and cheese pupusa, and the plantain con frijoles y crema platter. Everything was delicious, and I would definitely come back. Service was a little slow, and they forgot one of our items at first, but they did bring it out eventually. Overall, a great first pupusa experience!

It has a pupusa revuelta, your choice of pork or chicken tamale, and fried yuca. The pupusa is cheesy goodness packed with chicharrón and beans, and the tamal is so flavorful. I especially love the masa they use for it, it has such a great texture and flavor. For drinks, the granadilla agua fresca is a must! It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it's so refreshing. Definitely a must try restaurant for anybody looking for a delicious meal.

My partner and I tried four different kinds (revuelta, chicharron, queso con jalapenos, and loroco). I had a to-go order, but I put on all the toppings at home and it was great. The curtido was nice and fresh, I wish I could just buy this alone and use it as a topping for so many things at home. The horchata was also delicious and not overly sweet. I liked the nutty taste of the seeds. The interior was well kept, clean, and felt very at home. I came in when no one else was there and my order was made fresh and the wait was not long. Cant wait to go back and try other menu items or pupusa fillings.

Washed it down with their Salvadorian Horchata. The Caldo de Pollo doesn't have any meat inside the soup, but the broth itself was simply delicious and fresh. Came with a lemon slice and it was perfect after squeezing it in there. The plate came with two pieces of fried chicken and it was cooked nicely. Loved the rice as well, it was like a pilaf. Jalapeno and cheese papusa was sooo good with the melty cheese and chopped fresh jalapeno. The horchata tasted deliciously housemade. Pretty big and a full restaurant during lunchtime on a Saturday. Service is very friendly. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Small parking lot but was lucky to get a spot. Will definitely be back!
