The fermented cabbage was good, just not as flavorful as I remember it was 2 years ago. Something is different about this place. Prices are fair since everything now is going up. For $70 I will say it's not something I'll take my kids to eat again or drive an hour away for this. One star for the ambient.

In fact, we will be back tomorrow for their carnitas and chicharrones! I'm adding some recent photos of the menu as well.

We had the meat pies, cheese only papusas, fajita pupusas, chicken/cheese pupusas & shrimp/ cheese. The fajita was TOOOOOO DAMN GOOD. Idk what's in that meat, (crack??) but I'm usually a big seafood eater, those were everybody favorite & we only got 3 of each between a family of 6. *tear* The food was delish, it was very clean. We did a take out order. The cashier was nice. They forgot our little meat pies we ordered & my husband had to drive back. (Luck for use we only stay about 5-6 mins up the road.) they were already closing up, locked the door and everything. The cashier remebered him & opened the door. He retrieved them & she apologized. But the crazy thing before leaving the 1st time he went back in real quick to asked are you sure is everything in there- salsa & all. She said yes & we left. Now no matter how heavy bag feels we we'll check the food! Lmao

We finally gave this place a shot, and wow! I hadn't eaten pupusas in a while and totally forgot…read morehow good they are. My wife and I each got two, and I would have ordered more if my wallet wasn't screaming, "No more, please!" I'll definitely be coming back just for pupusas to go. Those things might be my new food obsession. The plates we got were okay but nothing amazing. My wife got three loaded chicken tacos, and I had the fried chicken with plantains. The chicken was a bit dry, but the plantains were really good. The waitress was super nice and explained some of the menu since it's mostly in Spanish. Without her, we would have been totally lost. Also, the menu is huge, so we took a while to decide. The place itself is small and crowded with tiny tables, but that is exactly the kind of vibe you get at an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. The chef (and owner?) checked on us a couple of times, and you could tell he really cared about us liking the place. That kind of attention is rare. It's a bit pricey, especially for lunch. So like I said earlier, your best bet is to get a bunch of pupusas at $3.49 each. Honestly, three or four of those would have been filling enough and cheaper than the big plates. Bottom line: Pupusas are the real stars here!

We ordered 2 guisada tacos with queso, 1 beef fajita with cheese, onion, and cilantro. 1 chicken fajita with cheese, onion, and cilantro. They were really awesome and bigger Everything was downright delicious. The tortillas are homemade and super soft. I could of literally eaten a dozen by themselves. They have 2 sauces, green and red. They are both really good, the red has no heat at all but plenty of taste. The green has just enough heat to be be enjoyed by anyone. It is a gotta stop in or thru and give them a try kinda place. You won't regret it and you will be supporting a local family owned business.

I was a thick corn tortilla that had stuffing inside such as cheese and pollo or chorizo. That was topped off with a spicy lettuce salad. I also got their quesadilla el pastor. It was pretty yummy. The pastor was rich in flavor and covered with cheese. The cheese pull on this was amazing. In addition, I also got their horchata. This was a little different as it was more milk with less cinnamon which is what I prefer a lot of the times I feel like it is over powered with cinnamon. Their service was spectacular. I went with a big group of 7 and although there was another big party that was there before us. They help us arrange the tables and served us quickly.

But once I discovered this restaurant on Yelp, I knew I wanted to try it. It was hard to find the time because the hours listed on Yelp said it was only open on weekends, but it turns out, they recently changed their hours and are now open Wednesday-Sunday. Out of everything I ate, the pupusas were, by far, the best. All of them were great: the steak, chicken and pork. We also ordered the carne asada, which is listed as #6 on the menu. It was basically a skirt steak with rice, beans and a salad. The steak was okay -- a little tough and too done, but overall it hit the spot. The salad had no dressing to my knowledge, which was weird. The rice and beans were fine. Lastly, we finished with some banana bread, which was nice, but definitely not very sweet. I should probably eat more desserts like this that are less sugary, but I'm kind of addict at this point, so I do wish this had a little more of a sweet bite to it. Overall, this was a cool experience and I see why the ratings are so strong.
