We ordered some food and the lady told us to come back in 25- 30 minutes. So I came back in about 23 minutes. The food was ready but I have never in my life had such COLD food from any restaurant ever before. Also the Pupusas that we order were dry, burnt, and not enough ingredients in them. Basically the food there is not made with “Love”. No passion. Perhaps there was passion at one point but it’s gone now. Very disappointed

My husband ordered 2 pupusas dinner which has 2 popusas per dinner and asked for them to be mix, but when we got home we saw that they were all of beans, my husband called to let them know and they said that they were close already but that the next day he had to place an order and with his order they were going to give him the 4 popusas with his order to fix the error, so the next day we did order 2 popusas and my husband told him who he was and they said that they were going to give him the 4 popusas with his order, he paid for his order and when we got home we checked and they gave us only the 4 popusas and not the other 2 popusas we had ordered, so basically they lied to us to sell more because they charged us for the 4 popusas they were supposed to give us free. Was the first time going to this place and the last.

Good food if you are trying something New but the service was horrible... They gave us the menu as soon we sat down.We ordered in a couple of minutes then they just didn't have the decency to see if we needed something else i was trying to get their attention but they just saw me and kept walking.After a while i got their attention and ordered some food to go but again they took for ever to get it to us so we paid for the food that we got and canceled the to go food, it was already 45 minutes for a simple order and they told us it was going to be another 20 minutes and the lady got mad when we canceled the order.

This place is fantastic.My girlfriend introduced me to this place and I had a real great time.The staff were really nice and helped us out and checked up on us a lot.The food came out really fast and it was super hot and delicious. We got the pupusas, platano, fijoles, and pastelitos. The jugo de passion was amazing also.They got a parking lot also.Definitely check out this place!

Wished the lady would have notified me about them only accepting cash when I walked on the first time to ask a question about parking.Instead she mentioned it after we came in nd sat down. We had to leave to find an arm machine to withdraw money.The pupusas were burnt and oily, the meat that was served ontop of the fried yuca was beyond salty and over cooked it would disintegrate into dust in my mouth. Honestly the food was no where near from the last time I ate there.

Definitely a great spot to come and eat. I felt so welcomed here and to top it off the food was amazing and delicious. The service is very friendly and helpful ? ?. Great spot

Good food but didn't like the service much we where the first ones in there and past ones to get service.. we kinda understood since it was very busy but still..

Enjoyed the most amazing Pupusas I've ever had! Excellent!

Nice to have a Salvadoran restaurant in this city, which severely lacks them.Food is decent, service is ok, wish they completed orders in a more timely manner, and imo the prices are fair.Some room for improvement but overall good.
