Mar 10, 2026"My to go spot for Authentic Salvadoran cuisine. Pupusas are always nice and hot and come with their curtido and salsa . The only thing that I dislike is that they do take a very long time for dine-in . So what I tend to do is call in my order ahead of time and let them know it’s for dine in . Customer service is 7 out of 10, not so bad since they are typically always busy and limited amount to waiters . Overall I recommend since the food is great."

People are giving this place a one star reviews because the wait time for FRESH food is somewhat long. But if it weren’t fresh then they would complain about that. Can’t ever satisfy people. Pricing is fair for the quality and service you get. Highly recommend"

Nov 21, 2025"Authentic Salvadorian cuisine. Service and atmosphere: The staff were all nice and friendly. They advised us on the food selection and let us sample a soup before we committed to order full portion. The restaurant was clean. Food and drinks: Tradicional cooking methods and flavours in every dish. Good selection of pupusas with various fillings. The pupusas were well cooke, not greasy and evenly filled with cheese. The yucca was fried perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The soup with tripe was flavoursome and hearty. Ensalada drink was really good too. You can also buy here ready made sweets, cheeses and bottled drinks. Pricing: $$ - definitely worth trying."
