    The food here is good they have limited parking spaces however they do have security guards protecting the lot. They also have a bakery inside the restaurant. I really enjoyed the “Ensalada De Frutas”. The bathrooms are clean and the staff are very attentive and quick.

    I been here 3 times in my pass 3 visits to El Salvador. The food and dessert are pretty good. I have tired every single pupusa they offer and loved all of them. The fired yucca is also pretty good. I wasn’t a big fan of the chicharrón they gave with the yucca. I had better chicharrón. Don’t forget to get a leche poleada, such a great dessert!

    Good breakfast, just pick and choose what you like. The food is typical for Salvadoran meals so it's a good place to try. Regular coffee includes refills. The restaurant and its bathrooms are clean. Area is easy to walk to by Salvadoran standards.

    This is like the Salvadoran version of Luby’s. Plenty options. Pupusa’s are good the other selections taste good as well. Really enjoyed the bakery within the restaurant . Parking is limited and best suited for compact cars. Prices are competitive. Will return Please like the comment if this review helped you.

    Food is good! I like the that they serve food hot. Parking and sitting is reasonable. I think because I come during hours that is not busy.

    The papusas do NOT reflect the typical taste of an El Salvadoran papusa, I have had better. The quality of their papusas has gone down over the years as they have become more commercial or mass produced. The traditional juices of the country (observed at this location) were excessively sweet, not recommended for someone with diabetes or a pre-diabetic person. I would not recommend this place as there are too many other better options to choose from. My party had 12 people, and all except me was a native El Salvadoran, and this was the general consensus, and I agree with their observations.

    I brought here a foreigner, and both were not impressed, empanadas and chilaquilas were average at best, fresco de cebada and nuegado was very good, the rest okay

  • 4/5 Cindy Mariela González E. 1 year ago on Google
    It always takes forever to get pupusas if you order them, any other thing that you order will usually be delicious though.

  • 5/5 Harris 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool restaurant with local foods. They have a kiosk up front where you can order different papusas, and then the main line to order everything in person. We tried a few different things, everything was great.

  • 2/5 Jorge R. 1 year ago on Google
    Not the fastest and the food is not even that good. I got a shell in the eggs, the cuajada was stale and old, smelly and yellow... I finished my food before they brought my family's pupusas... Terrible. I give it 2 stars because the egg buñelo was decent at least.

  • 4/5 Cecilia G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I love that they keep the same flavor of their dishes for years and years. That is difficult to achieve. (Original) Me encanta que mantienen el mismo sabor de sus platillos por años y años. Eso es difícil de lograr.

    (Translated by Google) The food is very good, the prices are accessible, but the staff is very slow for everything, and apart from the fact that today with the new machine to order pupusas, there is no one to guide you ... 🙄🙄 (Original) La comida es muy buena, los precios accesibles, pero el personal es muy lento para todo, y aparte que hoy con lo de la nueva maquina para ordenar pupusas, no hay nadie quien te oriente... 🙄🙄

    Delicious food! You got to try it!

  • 3/5 Jorge Porras (. 2 years ago on Google
    Overestimated the servings while ordering. Since it is served in a buffer style, some food is cold. The only good thing I saw was the turkey sandwich

  • 4/5 Islia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to sample each and every kind of Salvadoran typical food. Very good!

  • 4/5 Yonguz 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited the Escalón location at least once every trip. Very pleasant, clean seating area. Good variety of Salvadoran staples. Visit during regular meal hours for best and freshest selection. Very good papussas made fresh to order. Can eat like a prince for $6.

  • 1/5 Felix C. 1 year ago on Google
    Avoid this place at all costs! Food was bland and pupusas were not edible! The quesillo was disgusting and the workers were rude! Will not comeback. They also didn’t have any of the típicos! Tamales, pastelitos, yuca, nada! Very disappointing and expensive

  • 1/5 Edith P. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't have a picture for this review I was so upset that I forgot to take one, The bread which it calls, maria luisa is a sweet bread with some kind of custard in the middle was rotten inside my sister not knowing take a bite of it, then handed to me I noticed it when I opened I'm in a low sugar diet so I was going to eat only the middle it was blueish color and smelling like rotten milk I ASK THE LADI TO TAKE ALL OF THE ONES THEY HAVE THERE FOR SALE, AND THE GUY THAT WAS THERE WITH HER, GIVE ME a bad attitude and then he says well too bad that she got the bad one didn't say no you can do that that's food you can get sick then the lady says give her a new one the ones from the refrigerator they gave me a new one and when I ask for their names they refuse to give them to me you turn around cuz they have a little batch so I couldn't read it I asked for a little car from the restaurant and they say they don't have it they don't give it away I will never come back to this place.

  • 1/5 richard m. 1 year ago on Google
    Courtesy won't make up for incompetence, you have food in plain view ready to go and won't allow me to order a single item unless it comes with other items I don't want.

  • 5/5 Mary C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, great environment, the Restaurant really nice and clean, the personnel were very nice, polite, friendly and most of all very professional, I highly recommend this place 😋👌

    It's not a tourist one restaurant....and it's better, because.. coming here , you like dividing into warmly Family circle ❣️

  • 4/5 Mario B. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy pupusas and many other local foods. Buffet style helps pick things you don’t usually get from a menu. Very good.

  • 5/5 Jesper V. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing amount of variety in the dishes. All variations on local cuisine. I invite all foreigners to come here and try as much as possible. It's like walking into a toy store as a kid and being able to buy every toy!

  • 4/5 Mauricio R. 1 year ago on Google
    Try to order combos and add on to it instead of a la carte. Know that if your meal comes with a Pupusa, you'll need to wait for them to bring it to you... A good place

  • 4/5 Raul O. 1 year ago on Google
    Way more foreigners are coming to this place for the local dining experience, either pupusas, enchiladas, yuca, the awesome fruit salad drink, or the sugary sweets, they got you covered here. Just make sure that you are being billed right in case you are doing portions rather than a setup plate on the menu.

  • 1/5 Mario Q. 9 months ago on Google
    We arrived and there was only one person making pupusas and it so happened that they had a large party order and the wait to eat pupusas was of 45 minutes while at the restaurant. I just don't see how a place that specializes in one dish has only one person making them. I will no longer come to this particular business and I will let family and friends know how unprepared they are at the only thing they are supposed to do. Time to give the little guys a try.

  • 3/5 Madelyn de M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We probably arrived during peak service hours and that's why I didn't feel particularly careful. 1- They have a carpet to clean and dry shoes, a device to take temperature and use gel alcohol but there is no one to watch that they are used, or to see what temperature is set. 2- They all wear masks, but I saw a couple of ladies serving food and with the mask under their noses, several touching their outer side masks and wearing gloves! 3- The trays were cleaned by a young woman with a towel to which she added sanitizer, during the hour and a half that we were there she always used the same towel. They should use paper, or use multiple blankets and wash them often. The truth is, we must all ensure safety and use what they put to do it, minimally, but the personnel who touch food must be very careful with their own safety and that of the customers. (Original) Probablemente llegamos en hora pico de servicio y por eso no sentí especial cuidado. 1- Tienen alfombra para limpiar y secar zapatos, aparato para tomar temperatura y usar alcohol gel pero no hay nadie que vigile que se usen, ni que vean qué temperatura se marca. 2- Todos usan mascarillas, pero vi un par de señoras sirviendo alimentos y con la mascarilla bajo la nariz, varios tocando sus mascarillas del lado externo y guantes puestos! 3- Las bandejas las limpiaba una joven con una toalla a la que echaba sanitizante, durante la hora y media que estuvimos siempre usó la misma toalla. Debieran usar de papel, o usar varias mantas y lavarlas seguido. La verdad, todos debemos procurarnos seguridad y usar lo que ponen para hacerlo, mínimamente, pero el personal que toca alimentos sí debe ser muy cuidadoso con su propia seguridad y la de los clientes.

    Nice place, good food and service. If you like to spare time alone, with friends and family, you can do it. Food is decent, price wise I say at least 30% or more above the real cost of same type of food in other places.
