"The food was excellent. Honestly, their pupusas surpassed those from Doña’s, which has downgraded its ingredients. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. As for the atmosphere, it felt hot and stuffy, especially considering the scorching weather outside. They really need some air conditioning or fans to help with the heat coming from the kitchen. We tried the pupusas, fries, tamales, nuegados, plátanos, and more. While I can't speak for the larger dishes, the smaller ones were quite decent. I ordered two tamales to go, but they got that order wrong, which was the only mistake we encountered. I didn't check the bathroom for cleanliness, and our table had to be wiped down again due to watermarks—I'm just a bit particular about those things. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. Expect to spend around $20 per person if you order larger plates."

Nice place, food is good and people are nice. We usually do takeout, but eating there would be nice too. The only complaint and reason for one less star is pricing.Food: 5/5 View menu

The service here is much better than at LA Villa, for sure! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food had a wonderful aroma. I came for a specific dish, but I’ll definitely come back to try more!

The pupusas are delicious, and the drinks are great too. The only issue is that they never answer their phone. I had to place my order through DoorDash over the weekend because they wouldn’t pick up.

The pupusas are delicious and offer excellent value for the price. I've only tried their pupusas, and I can confidently say they are the best in terms of taste and quality compared to others. The place gets really crowded on weekends. View menu

Man. I was out look for a snack and the seen this Pupus spot.. The chicken and cheese was out of this world, the flavors wow. The bean cheese was good. The service was fast, friendly and I need to work on my Spanish. Lol. This restaurant is small and quiet. But the Pupus are amazing!

I went out eat with my family for my wife’s birthday we come from out of state. We ordered salvadoreña food, the Grilled chicken over the oven. I was given soaked grilled chicken with tomato salsa. My wife cannot eat anything with tomato’s. My daughters food was salty and not consumable. The yucca with chicharrón is not chicharrón it’s pork shoulder. When we asked if we can get the food changed they said we cannot change it for you. The restaurant says it’s Salvadoran but they don’t make anything that is considered Salvadoran at all. I ask of you locals to not buy anything from this place.
