Was overall really greasy and pretty bland, but the pupusas were okay. They hella overcharged us though for food they didn't bring, claimed that the cost was 110 for 5 ppl when 2/4 ppl didn't even order full plates, ended up having to argue the villas because it didn't list prices and was at least 30 to 40 more than it should have been. Again to reiterate, pupusas were okay still real greasy but yeah everything else wasn't really worth the money sorry

Whenever I’ve gone I only eat their pupusas and they are good. Their customer service is horrible. If you don’t mind bad service then I’d recommend their pupusas.

Eat at your own risk.

We ordered the Salvadoran turkey and it was great! Very tender and juicy with a lot of flavor! Highly recommend!

Food generally good, but they use lard in the frijoles and the music was so loud, it is impossible to have a family dinner. Get pupusas to go and don't destroy your body with the lard or your ears with the extremely loud music.

I think the 5 star reviews are their friends and family. I ordered food to-go but didn't eat it. While I was waiting for the food inside, I had a very bad impression and lost my appetite. Place was a little dirty and sticky. They lack basic hygene. The waiters and cooks weren't wearing masks eithet. The kitchen area is hidden around the corner behind the register(always be cautious buying food from somewhere when you cant see if the kitchen is clean). As soon as my order was taken and the money was handled, she took off her mask and went to the kitchen without washing her hands. The waitresses were hanging out laughing and talking in the kitchen area too. They ALL entered and exited the kitchen area with no masks, no hair nets, no gloves, no aprons and no washed hands. On top of that, they said the food would be done in 10-15 minutes but we sat there for about 45 minutes and they weren't even busy. Cant say if the food was good as I didn't eat the food after a lost appetite.

DONT GO HERE PLEASE!!! And this is coming from a Salvadoran, i know what's good and bad the pupusas are HORRIBLE. The chicharon had a burnt taste to it, almost as if had been recooked for days. The cheese ones had no cheese and was basically a tortilla. GET YOUR PUPUSAS SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT HERE!!

Service was great and fast. Food was super good! We sat outside to avoid the loud noise so that my group could conversate, but after a while the music got louder. However, if you want to go dance, its cool

Excellent service, very friendly ladies, and on top of that my piscado frito was very well prepared, delicious, will definitely be back

I just order even after telling them that each other should be marked with each individual names they didn't do it.
