I came here at a recommendation. It was between breakfast and lunch time and only 2 tables had customers but as I finished up, 3 more tables were occupied. The place is simply decorated and clean. The staff seems to be all young women in uniforms, all very nice. I had the huevos con chorizo, which is eggs with Salvadorean sausage, with rice and beans. I also had to try a Pupusa so I got a mixta. Everything was really tasty and flavorful and I came out stuffed. If I was in the area I would go back and try something else. Oh music was playing a bit loud but not loud enough that you couldn't have a conversation.

First time trying Salvadoran food and I was surprised by how different the flavors were. The rice and beans were great and different than what I was used to at a Mexican restaurant (from my experience don't knock me) the chicken flautas were delicious and cooked perfectly. They had few waitresses and a lot of patrons that was the only thing but can't blame em for being good!

We go to this place atleast once a week. We call in for pick up since we usually call in at 6:15 (they close at 7). Are pupusas are always delicious we have never had an issue the cashiers are always nice. I recommend the spicy salsa

The pupusas I would say are okay for a quick bite to eat. The service is also okay sometimes the wait is just long it does tend to get a little busy during lunch time so I would preorder.

Food is delicious! Authentic! The pupusa a are not skimpy or sad. The curtido is fresh, flavorful and they have the regular tomato salsa or a spicier version that's delightful. Service is on point over the phone or in person. Just be warned you'll need to pay over the phone over a certain amount. Place is clean and ready for you to bring your loved ones on a family dinner date or just because! Music is playing and good vibras all around

Ok so I bought some Pupusas and tamales to take home to my parents. I personally loved it and think 5 stars. My parents gave it 3.5-4, so averaged to 4 stars. They can be picky because their old neighbor was Salvadoreña and made the best food. Ok so food for my taste great, curtido (spicy cabbage) bomb, I had one de queso (just cheese) and one de frijoles y queso (beans & cheese) it was soggy or too crispy/hard it was perfect and large. Plus the gave me mild and hot hot sauce. Being Guatemalan I was happy they had our beer perfect combo. The wait was about 35 mins for 4 Pupusas, two tamales and beer. It might seem long, but it's freshly made and handed to you hot! If you've ever waited at A Chili's or BJs for a table plus food service. Don't complain. Small business are hustling, plus they were busy with tables on top of to go orders. I will always support Central American spots and I will return. Apoyen a sus restaurantes centroamericanos!
