    Absolutely best cheese pupusas I ever had! No reheated, frozen stuff.. freshly made! There is indoor eating and I got my car washed while eating my meal. Great service, definitely a hidden gem here in Bakersfield. Would definitely recommend!

    I went with my family (husband, sister and my 2yr. Son). We all loved the food. We ordered pupusas rebueltas and we really like them. We also order the chicken tamales and the beans tamales my son is really picky eater and he loved them. We had to order some more. I really recomend this place fresh and good food and great service 👌

    Stopped for dinner in Bakersfield on our way to San Jose. We enjoyed some pupusas - shrimp for hubby & loroco (squash flower) for me. The chicken tamal was very fluffy and had more of a spongy texture. The plantain empanadas were very rich and creamy. Muy excelente!

    The customer service is fantastic. You feel like you have known the owner for years. The food is out of this world. I always go for the pupusas. They are my favorite 😍
