We waited for about 15 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes to have our order taken, and 45 minutes for the food. When our pupusas were finally brought out, we realized that our order wasn't taken correctly. We asked for 3 pupusas with just beans, but we got 2 with beans and cheese instead. We would've just eaten them, but they were for our son who can't eat cheese. We waited for another 25 minutes for his order to be fixed. Those pupusas with just beans ended up having a super dry bean filling and they needed to be drenched in the salsa. The bean/cheese and bean/cheese/carne asada pupusas were satisfactory, but not as delicious as I remember them being (we had also visited in October 2021). The coco horchata was amazing though! I think if we do try this place again, we're going to call our order in advance and just take them to-go. They seem to give priority to call-in orders instead of dine-in. I'm just glad my young kids were patient during that 1.5+ hour visit to this restaurant!

This place is great. I hesitate to eve give it a review because I don’t want too many people to find out about it. However, that wouldn’t be fair to this place! Great pupusas, and a good selection of other Salvadoran dishes.

Great customer service. It was my first time being in a Salvadoran restaurant, they were patient and helpful, especially Jaycee (not sure if I got her name right). I especially loved their pork tamales and the variety pupusa (can't remember what it's called ?).

The food is amazing i love the service super friendly would recommend coming here

The food is delicious. It is not a fancy restaurant and it is definitely a family restaurant. This is a very Hispanic environment with Salvadorian cuisine. They even sell cultural items and they have a small Salvadorian Baker.

The tamales were not heated all the way through! Obviously not fresh like the pupusas. It was very disappointing.

I don't give them 4 stars because they take forever to service the clients. Food is good, but their serving system is awful. They took 20 minutes to sit us, and they had open tables. They took 30 minutes I bring my husband order, and 40 minutes to bring mine. After watching my husband eat, I was so upset that I had my order to go. The manager compared their service with other restaurants. But they don't understand that the difference is that the other restaurants bring ALL the food together. Very upset.

This place is tucked away in an unassuming little strip mall behind an apartment complex, but the good is so, so good. EVERYTHING we got was delicious!

Waited over 30 minutes for food. Unacceptable!!!! They don't have any appetizers either. No one should have to wait hungry without any appetizer. The menu itself didn't look up to par either. Won't come back.

The traditional pupusas here are the best! Been coming here for 10 years and I’ve tried other pupusa restaurants but none of them come close to these. Also love the yuca frita & their strawberry water. The owner is very warm, friendly & hospitable. Feels like being at home with family.
