    Great service and prices, food actually is about the same. What specifically liked about this place is the fact that the waitress pleased in my special requests. This and that made my visit to this restaurant very pleasant. Therefore I would recommend.

    I'll keep this short and sweet. Waited 55 minutes for 4 papusas. Mediocre papusas at that. Save your time and money and go down the street.

    Fried plantains with beans and cheese sooo good! Also tamal de elote (sweet corn) so tasty! Mojarra frita was good. Try the atole (hot sweet corn beverage). Hand made tortillas! This place is legit!

    They have the best pupusas in town. Reasonably priced. The place itself is not anything to brag about. You're not going there expecting anything fancy, just some solid, filling pupusas. They have some Salvadoran knick knacks for sale, but they're overly priced so don't bother. Just go for the pupusas, curtido, & salsa. Tip: pupusas take a bit to cook so if you want takeout order a good while ahead of time.

    The pupusas here are bomb, and a bargain at $1.50 each. You can eat like an El Salvadoran king for less than $8. The horchata though is a drink mix with clumps of the powder left on the bottom. And expect to wait 40 minutes for your food - the service leaves much to be desired.
