    The classic Salvi experience. The pupusas were delicious as hell. The platanos con frijoles did not disappoint. Service was A1. Cute spot. Definitely will be returning. Editing review to say we're still coming to this place and the amazing service and food does not change. Love the consistency, thank you for providing the experience you do. 🙏

    It is a great place to have some authentic Salvadoran food. Well as far as I can tell since I've never been or ate Salvadoran food, lol! Promise its a great experience and quick vacation for a few hrs to have a bite. And few laughs with your partner, family or friends! Without leaving the country.

    Guys, I Have Litterly Only Tried Popusas Here. And, I Can Honestly Say They Are Delicious 😋 I'm A Picky Eater Keep That In Mind. But They Are Good, Also The Service Is Great Very Polite People. My Favorite Are The "Queso Con Loroco". My Kids Also Love It, Not To Forget The Wifey Too.

    I am disappointed to have to write a review over vegetables. Specially when I’ve been a client for years. I thought it wouldn’t be a problem to replaced a full chicken breast for extra vegetables. I received NO vegetables and NO chicken, so pretty much I paid $16 for a cup of chicken broth plus Uber eats fee. I guess the joke is on me and when I went over to explain the mistake the server declined to help me and dismissed me. I did not want to argue over vegetables but let’s just say I am done buying food from here. For authentic salvadorian food go to Sonia’s Bakery just 5 min away from this place.

    On Friday March 17, 2023 around 5:30pm me and my Family went to this Salvadorean Restaurant to get some Pupusas, for the first Time. We Order 2 Cheese & 4 Chicharrón w/ Cheese & Jalapeño "TO GO" The Cashier told us 25 min wait but we waited 48 min. Good thing The other Cashier apologize for waiting and we head home. When we open The Order, there were The 2 and 4 pupusas but not The ones we has Order... We ate them but not satisfy.... Hopefully once we go neta time they give us what we Order...

    Little hole in the wall Salvadorian restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Good food, good staff. They were very attentive and courteous. The pupusas are absolutely incredible and worth the trip down there just for that alone. They do not serve alcohol here, but that's okay because they make a mean horchata

    Food was great. Only thing is that the wait time was over to 30 minutes

    What a disgusting place. It is obvious that white people are really welcome there. Silver stood around chatting ignored us for a long time. One of the services all of that corner banging and banging on silverware. It was annoying and very loud. I have eaten Salvadorian before and this place was subpar.

    My son ate the carry out pupusas today and he loved them. I was surprised how clean and they even turn on A/C a definite plus. All they are missing is WiFi.

  • 5/5 cynthia r. 1 year ago on Google
    We are new to the area and the pupusas are delicious, not super greasy like other places. Very friendly staff! Will definitely be a new spot for us to eat.

  • 5/5 Priscilla S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great price for amazing food! Pupusas were delicious, but could use more filling. The curtido and sauce were great. The yucca fries were not as crispy as I was hoping and they came in a box with vegetables? Great service and very nice lady at the front.

    My first time visiting the restaurant. I ordered four revueltas - cheese, beans and chicharrones pupusas. Although, they were mostly filled with beans they were still quite tasty. I did recieve fast and friendly service. Just beware, that if you use debt/credit card you are charged additional $1.00 service charge. They don't tell you about that up front before paying. They say it's posted but not really in plain view. I probably will give them another try and order the chicharrone and beans pupusas. Hopefully, I get more chicharrone inside.

    First time and I was not impressed. Ordered Popusas revueltas and not sure if they got the order wrong but they tasted like cheese and masa. The curtido was decent but the salsa had no flavor. My husband found a hair in his Popusa, first and last time I go to this place.

    It's ok The last few times I've gone they've gotten my order wrong or food came out in a weird order They do take a while since everything is cooked from scratch The orchata is good
