    This place makes pupusas, the national food of the country of El Salvador. They have more varieties of it than any other place I have been to. Being a pupusa fan, I would go immediately for the traditional options such as the cheese or cheese with bean fillings. This time I had the pupusa with chicharron (pork). It was good. Imagine a single food item so delicious that it comprises the majority of the menu. I find it very exciting that this restaurant gives you the option to add extra ingredients such as shrimp, pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage and many others. This is something I have never seen in any other Salvadorian restaurant. Such a creative idea. This place is run by actual Salvadorians who truly believe in the potential of their national dish. Aside from pupusas, they also have a side menu of small items such as tamales, fries, dessert, etc. Pupusas are made with ground corn and pan fried. They are always accompanied with grated pickled cabbage made in its own distinct way. It has a distinct taste and very different from other cabbage renditions such as coleslaw, sauerkraut or kimchi. I see this place as an evolution of the pupusa dining experience. Outside of Panama, my experience eating it has always been at humble, small eateries. This place, on the other hand, is fancy when compared. It has hip decorations and is air conditioned. This place is raising the bar for pupusas, partaking in making them mainstream food here. My only wish is for them to improve their coffee.

    I loved the food, very authentic, the place is small, if not wrong only 6 tables available inside, not sure if they have outdoor seating, but it really worth it, service is a little slow, not much, but is reasonably cause the taste of the food is really good, it's more a place for friends and family, prices are good, no overpriced at all.

    A downpour drove us to stop in here. The meal and service were wonderful. We shared two different desserts. Both were delicious, Will return.

    Great place to enjoy and discover typical food from El Salvador. Here you can find a great selection of pupusas with different ingredients and toppings. Great Service in a spot with high traffic. Enjoy your pupusas de chicharrones here

    Nice and friendly place to eat, the "pupusas" took me back to those nice days we spent in El Salvador. A good selection of Salvadoran food. They should have beer though.
