I was somewhat skeptical because the menu is huge and they highlight many different central American dishes. The pupusas were on point! Great filling and their pickled cabbage was great. My carnitas tacos had great flavor and I couldn't believe how much meat was in each taco.

The prices and portions are fair and generous. I also tried the campero dish and I only wish the rice and chicken had a little more seasoning and flavor. However, I ordered through ubereats and food was delivered on time and still hot. I'd order again if I found myself craving some pupusas.

The rice was okay, no complaints. Price was $35 which I thought wasn't bad for the amount of food I got. I shared it with my partner and we each ate 4 pupusas each and we were completely stuffed. Would definitely go back to try more items on the menu!

It was a great portion. We also had pupusas because of course you have to have pupusas at a Salvadorean restaurant. The revueltas were a great portion and I really enjoyed it. We are from out of town but would definitely come back when we are in the Elizabeth area.

The staff was friendly and offered great suggestions. Although it was very busy on Saturday afternoon, I was happy to find a few seats available with the background music at the perfect, conversational volume. I only came in to order coffee, but seeing all those delicious pastries and baked goods made me almost change my mind. There were several winter specials available, so I decided to try the dulce de leche latte. I really enjoyed it since it was bold and strong, but had a smooth, sweet finish. There were many tasty-sounding latte choices such as horchata, tiramisu, and the golden palms latte, which is made of turmeric. I look forward to trying one of those the next time that I return.

I ordered three fried empanadas (two chicken and one beef). they were okay - the crust is a bit different than I'm used to, but maybe the empanadas I typically have are baked. Also seemed to be more potato than meat in the beef one. The Americano coffee is awful. It gives mostly hot water with a hint of coffee flavor. I tossed it and didn't complain. Granted it's a cafe and not a coffee shop, but it's coffee! They have a plethora of other drinks that may be worth trying, but i will never order coffee here again. The decor inside is nice Also note, this is mostly a beverage and snack place. Very little food on the menu.

Great hospitality and service with great food and serving sizes, this restaurant is family friendly and budget friendly at the same time. Evenings are packed and colored with loud music and large screen TVs playing sports games from all over latin america. A total Central/South American vibe with a sports bar on the side.

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. The cheese pupusas were amazing! I was so shocked. We will definitely start mixing up our order to include cheese and cheese/bean pupusas. 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.

I called for delivery and here the problems began. Beyond some slight hiccups with language barrier, the guy on the phone takes my order and tallies up the amount to over $10 of what I thought it would be. I go back tally up everything on my end and call back. Again he says that's the amount, actually $0.25 more this time. So I ask what gives? I ordered off the website. He replies "oh the prices have increased on some of the things." He tries to go through what has gone up, along the way Naming things that aren't even on my order. I have to correct him and get that straightened out. My main issues with this is of course, update your website to reflect price increases, and 2 I could've canceled the order but I didn't over this, you could throw me a dessert or something for my troubles? The food comes after another hiccup from the driver being a bit confused and passing the building. I don't get a receipt because I wanted to review what exactly costed what. The delivery lady won't let me keep the copy she has. So there's that. *Exhale* so the food... It was alright. Not the best of an authentic level place like this. The pupusas were good and would consider again but they didn't live up to the hype I thought they would. The Lomo de cerdo asado (pork loin) was waaaaay overdone and all dried up. Rice and beans were fine though as were the salads Included with the entrees. Chicharrones was ok as was the yuca frita. Then there was this red sauce that was packaged in a coffee cup and tasted like that $0.88 store brand pasta sauce. Very watery. Not good. Overall I wasn't really impressed by the service and food. Maybe dining in is the way to go here.

My pupusas filled with cheese beans and loroco were very filling and the calabacita platter was the same. I definitely preferred the taste of the pupusas as the calabacita needed a strong sauce for taste so I ended up using the red and green salsas from the pupusas. However, even though I marked for utensils the restaurant did not provide me any. I don't know if that was a glitch in communications between Uber Eats and the restaurant, but it made it a pain to go hunting for plastic silverware at a quiet hotel.
