    The place , staff , prices , portions was excellent . Great music as well . The place is in a sorta weird location but that's easy to look past with the great taste of the food.

    Today is my 4th time coming here, close to my house near South Gate park. I've had breakfast 3 times & today I came for a Sopa de Gallina. I must say their food is delicious, the presentation is very appealing & their service has been consistent & pleasant. I would highly recommend you come in & try it for yourself. Thank you for the great food & service. Jose D. 🙏

    It was okay but I don't like being lied to. I was told their empanadas had chicken. They only had pastelitos a bit pricey for what I got. They had more potato then anything. Nice atmosphere but limited parking.

    First time I buy from here, they have a big banner that says pupusas $1.00 so I thought I give them a shot. I ordered 25 to go, The pupusas are plain,barely any stuffing, about 5" round and flat. so no, It's not a good deal. I rather pay $2.00 somewhere else and get my money's worth. As to the place, it's a small hole in the wall, the staff is very friendly and make you feel welcomed, will I go back, maybe but to try other food,not the pupusas..

    I have eaten here before. The pupusas were good the sopa de gallina is good. But the garnachas are not good at all salty the tortilla was to hard not properly fried. Tamalito de elote not good. No flavor doesn't have that distinctive sweet corn taste. Coffee is good but they serve it in a togo cup..

    We got here for lunch around 130 pm. It wasn't too busy and found seats outside. The waitress came out and gave us menus. We ordered and the waitress gave suggestions on what to get. She was also able to change items on the menu as needed to still get a combo. Food came out quickly. Their bean and cheese pupusa was the best one. 👌 Would definitely come here again.

    I’ve never left a bad review, this is my first but I just have to say it because this is just disgusting. First the salsa tasted old so I’m sure they’ve had this salsa in the fridge for weeks. Then my sister found a huge fly in one of her pupusas. I will not be eating here again.

    Is a good place, food portions is a lot and prices good, the lady that attended me it was and helpful, is a friendly place.

    Best pupusas in town 9.5/10 definitely must try.

  • 3/5 Carlos C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is nice and cozy, Service is good too, food is so so. I ordered a combo plate with a Pupusa, casamiento and fried plantains, Pupusas are alright and really small (for $3 they are small to me), casamiento I argued with the waitress that the casamiento had marriage problems because it was more rice than beans, I would call it arroz pinto. I had to order something else from the menu to get full, my wife ordered gallina asada, and the gallina had a lot of uncooked mustard which over power the flavor, the rice was really overcooked that almost looked like a rice cake. Drinks were good.

    Enjoyed breakfast here for the first time. I tried the garnachas and I was pleasantly surprised. The garnachas reminded me of a small sope with curtido.
