Love the cute little murals on the wall. The pupusas are really good. They don't make the slaw too spicy for me which is perfect. Come here all the time it's my goto pupusa place.

First time trying salvadorian food and absolutely obsessed!! Had some good options for the pupusas for vegetarians and the fried plantain was simply 10/10. Will definitely be coming back again to try some other stuff!!

I had a huge order for the weekend so I called them in advance and they came through. The Pupusas and Curtido here are the best, the Pupusas are a good size. Everyone loved them. They’ve been here for decades that tells you how good this place is. May God continue to bless your business. Thank You!

Great service and food. My partner and I dined in. We didn’t know the aguas frescas available and the waitress brought us all of them to sample without us asking. The food took about 20 minutes.

Pan con pollo was to die for and if you track your macros the chicken in the pan was a good amount of protein! Literally took my scale to measure and they put 6.7 oz of chicken (heck yeah)!

I might be biased because this is where I was introduced to pupusas, but OMG these pupusas are the bomb! They're great just on their own but then they bring out the curtido and the red sauce and you can just die and go to heaven. Two pupusas will set you back less than $5 and that's a meal right there; make sure you tip well because these are AMAZING and worth a lot more than $5. PLUS they have this fabulous juice made out of cashew fruits; it's pretty sweet but really tasty and unlike anything else you've ever had. Parking can be tight but you can usually make it work. And it's worth it!
