This place is amazing, they have excellent food. It is very savory and is always a hit with my wife and kids. Only downside is that you wait a bit longer for the food (quality food takes longer?), but you can curb that by placing the order over the food.

Addiction alert Pupusas - 1 each is perfect! Queso con Loroco - add beans (frijoles) Extra side cabbage

Great Authentic Salvadoran Food. The pupusas are big, filling and not greasy. You Order up front and pay. Small but with ample seating. Will definitely return and try more of their menu.

This place was jam packed and we knew we chose correctly because of it. Generous portions, really great pupusas and super nice staff. Be prepared to wait a bit for both a table and then for your food. This place is hopping and I'd run by just a few people so bring your patience along with your appetite.

Pupusas were delicious here! I tried the Squash & Cheese, Loroco & Cheese, and Pork. The pupusas were served with pickled cabbage and two kinds of salsas. I personally didn't care for the salsas, but the pickled cabbage was the perfect addition to the pupusas. Two pupusas are enough to fill one person. They range between $3 - $4. They are made fresh to order and come out piping hot. While their pupusas seem to be a popular item showcased here on Yelp, I noticed that every single table ordered the Caldo de Gallina Criolla. This is a chicken soup that comes with a plate of chicken, rice, and freshly made corn tortillas. It looked delicious, and I look forward to coming back and trying it! Parking and seating are limited. People who work here are friendly. The menu posted on the wall doesn't have prices, but the takeout menu does.
