    We decided to take the family out for Salvadoreño food and this little place was pretty good. The service was fine- nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about. They had empanadas (pictured) these are very different from traditional Mexican empanadas but yummy. We also ordered cheese and spinach and cheese Pupusas, plantains (not very sweet at all), tamales and the salad drink + horchata. The Salad drink was really yummy and a bit sweet, however I was not impressed by the Horchata, as it was very chalky tasting. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return 👍🏽

    Food is delicious here! Been here about 4 times and the food is always great!!! Now the service..that's the reason behind the 2 star rating. The waiter was very quiet, hard time hearing him. Our food came out and did not bring us utensils until the 2nd time we asked. Additional family members arrived and he later came to take their order..yet he didn't bring them a menu! Same with straws, my husband had to get up and ask another waiter that was walking by. When we left the restaurant, he walked right by us and did not even make eye contact. The food is always delicious but the environment and service really need to be improved.

    Do not pass this place up! The food here is delicious! The pupusas are big and very filling. For the first time I tried a pupusa filled with bean, cheese and green chile and I fell in love. I couldn't get enough. This restaurant is a no frills hole in the wall. The staff is friendly and the food comes out relatively fast. The menu is very affordable. Beware: the pupusas are very addicting so be sure to get more than one. 😊

    Great experience! I enjoyed the restaurant all the way around. Spacious dining room, amazing smells from the kitchen, clean restroom, wonderfully polite service. Was not crowded at all during the lunch hour & hardly any wait for our order. Everything was made correctly & delicious. The food was so good. I absolutely enjoyed the pupusa & my breakfast plate. Will definitely be back for more. P.S: I barely remember to even snap a photo Lol thats how good the food is 😁

    Good restaurant. Service was fast. Servors speak spanish and english very well. I ordered carne asada and it was delicious and a pupasas and it was very good. Plantains are sweet and served with mayo. Drank bebidas en salada...very tasty and unique. Cant wait to try the foods again. Military discount provided.

    The horchata is delicious, and I assume the aguas frescas are the same. Service: fantastic! Very friendly and polite. Mojarra Frita: He had a proud look about him. I like to stare my meal in the eye while I eat it. Crispy in the outside, juicy on the inside. Green Chili Papusa with Loroco: large, inexpensive, best con mucho curtido y pescado. I stacked a bunch of fish on top of the papusa. Yum.

    Good if you want a nice local restaurant experience! A lot of food for a good price. The food is made fresh when you order and the staff are kind and if you go frequently they remember you. Definitely will be coming back again and again

    They have great PUPUSAS, I would recommend the pupusas over any others I have eaten in Albuquerque restaurants. The Curtido (like a slaw) is excellent. Their food is authentic. A MUST EAT AT PLACE. This is a family run business and is not a chain store!!!!

    This place is so good! Everything is made to order. Will bw coming again for more pupusas :)

    Enjoyed the pork papusa cabbage salsa empanada and fried plantain. Fried yucca is an acquired taste and something sweet.

    I was working near by and decided to stop by. Wow it was good. I have had Salvadorian food in the past and I find there all about the same with maybe there own touch to the flavor. I ordered 2 "Revueltas" that has cheese, beans and chicharon (pork). Very very tasty with there slaw and sauce. Nothing is spicy past what ever seasoning they use. Fountain drinks are coke products and have aguas (fruit drinks) you can also order. Popusas are corn tortilla stuffed. Come by you wont regret it!

    Just wow! Everything is delicious. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu. Can not wait to go back for more.

    The Pupusas and cortido with salsa were good, however there is no authentic Salvadorean horchata which is why I give it 4 out of 5

    Very nice place. Great food and service. First time trying Salvadoran food, and now a fan. We will be back.

    Excellent food for a great price!

    It seems every place that serves papusas takes a while to make them, but it was much more reasonable amount of time here. The fact that they were amazingly delicious didn't hurt. There is plenty of other things on the menu that are likely great, but I wouldn't know since we came specifically to try the papusas and didn't order much else. We left happy and will be back to enjoy more, for sure!

    Best tamale ever! We enjoy trying out papusas everywhere we travel. This one is excellent. We tried all variety offered and was blown away by all the flavors!

    Tasty, a little light on the seasoning for my preference. Very clean, very friendly service!

    Good food we just moved here from AZ and out there we had El Salvadoreño, so we were hoping to find something similar to that and I'm glad we did. Thanks for everything guys keep up the good job. The only thing they don't have is a pupusa special which sucked, in AZ we got the 25 pupusas for like $40-$45 bucks with everything. Here you have to buy them individually which sucks but other than that I'm glad we found this place. Gracias
