One of the best papusas I’ve ever eaten. Very fresh, not too heavy. Will love to go back.

Beware! If you want your 2 yr old to get full off 5 pupusas together this is the perfect place. I have never seen such an overpriced minature pupusa ever.

Best pupusas ever !

With papusas please don't be in a hurry ! Delicious in everyway !

Really good food! I had the pupusas and tamales. Very good!

I've been to this restaurant about 5 times. A true hole in the wall, homeless and shady characters in the area, bad part of town. They seem understaffed at this location, usually one cook and one server trying to do everything. I generally order the combo with 2 papusas with rice and beans. The side of beans usually has a weird and bad taste. The papusas, cheese inside are delicious. They have a hotter salsa that has a nice kick, much more so than the watery one they bring out with the chips and carrot/cabbage mix. There is no ambiance, gonna try their other location on Northern because there were a couple times the food was really good (rice and papusas). I've had enough average or subpar experiences here to where I won't go back.

Great food, great price. The only knock sketchy location.

Husband love the popusas!!
