👍 They take credit cards and cash! Can't get more authentic than this place. Friendly staff, clean place. TV was a little annoying to me, too loud. Ordered a couple pupusas, one pork (not much flavor) and one beans and cheese (very good). The pupusas are light and thin with the perfect amount of filli... People often mention pupusas,

    They take credit cards and cash! Can't get more authentic than this place. Friendly staff, clean place. TV was a little annoying to me, too loud. Ordered a couple pupusas, one pork (not much flavor) and one beans and cheese (very good). The pupusas are light and thin with the perfect amount of filling. Also ordered fried plantains, they are served with beans and sour cream. The horchata tasted like it was made from powder. It was also too sweet. If you visit with a friend I suggest one of the combo plates, better value and more things to try.

    Great place with authentic Pupusas. Thanks for giving me this fantastic insight into your kitchen and the process of making pupusas. Looking forward to try them by myself with friends in Germany. You made my day and I will come back to this place for sure. Please "LIKE" if this review was helpful for you.

    Note: Cash Only! It was my first time trying pupusas. I ordered different flavors but my favorite is the revuelta pupusa. There's more output of flavors because it has different stuffings. You can also get simple kinds like jalapeno and mozarella cheese or cheese and mushroom. I recommend ordering different flavors to see what best suits your taste buds. I ordered three pupusas and I feel like two would have been enough.

    Tried pupusas in Texas so wondered into this place. Service is very slow so if you have a short lunch break, order your pupusas ahead, otherwise about a 20 min wait. Worse if busy. Dinner time, about a 30 min wait for food to come out. A pupusa runs 3 bucks, a platter around 15. 99. I wish they had single orders of the sides. I would give this place a 4,but is a bit disorganized in terms of bringing out drinks, taking orders. If you have time, worth a try.

    Pupusas are not seasoned, no taste. They have music way too loud, as loud as a night club or more, when I go to a restaurant I go for a good experience enjoying my food not so loud music that is not even my type, we even asked if they could lower it and we were told yes but we were just ignored.

    Best pupusas that I’ve tried! Made to order and stuffing is not to much. The veggies are fresh and salsa is mild not spicy. Definitely coming back

    Great Pupusas is a variety of meat and meatless options. Vegetarian and vegan items like platanos Fritos and yucca

    My girlfriend and I found this location on Google maps decided to try it out. We had pupusas (corn gordita tortillas stuffed) with chicharron and cheese and a cabbage vineget mixture that goes on top. These things melt in your mouth without having to chew them. Very delicious. Also had two corn 🌽 tamales with a salty, sweet and sourcream that goes on top. We washed it down with a freshing Agua called Ensalada de Fruita. (Fruit salad). Not what you think trust me after a two hour hike on the beach near by this was super delicious and freshing..

    Small place but food and service are great! My kids loved it. Food is made fresh and great tasting. There's a variety of dishes, not just their famous popusas.

    I love the service here I loved it so much I even had to review this, the food was so delicious and delightful and it was seasoned to the finest 5/5! 😋🤤

    Was looking for a local place with good food. Found this gem online. When we got here it was crowded, but we quickly got a table. The service was quick and friendly. But the food... AMAZING 👏🏼 The tamales wrapped in banana leaves were moist and flavorful, the pupusas hot, fresh and yummy 😋 We will be stopping here on our way back to the Bay Area to get our fill to go!!! Highly recommended 👌🏻

    This is a "whole in the wall" so you know it is going to be DELICIOUS and it is AUTHENTIC. The small restaurant feels like you are in a small town in El Salvador. Friendly staff walks you through the menu if you have questions. They make their food fresh to order, so expect to wait at least 15-20 minutes before they bring it out. Once you get it, you won't be sorry. Fresh HOT and delicious authentic food 😋 👌

    I can't believe I lived here for over a year and decided to try this place days before I move. The food is delicious. I tried four different pupusas, tamale de elote, and yuca frita. It was all amazing.
