What customers say?

“ Best Pupusas I’ve ever had near the area & surrounding cities. The service was great, they were so welcoming. Even when they were busy they had an eye out for customers coming in. The food was delicious even ordered more to go! ”

“ Don’t let the city scare you, this is a very nice and clean restaurant. The food is very good, they serve both Salvadoran and Mexican food. I have only tasted the Salvadoran food, pupusas, sopa de pata, traditional breakfast etc. the dining area is spacious and will accommodate a large family. If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat. There is plenty of onsite parking for both the restaurant and the other business. ”

“ Perfect place to eat popusas in the morning I love it. ”

- Lucia Flores -

“ Well first of all, I’m glad I still remember most of the Spanish I learned in high school, cuz otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to eat there. Notwithstanding this fact, the pupusas were pretty good. I recommend the loroco con queso since it’s the best one that I had out of the couple I ordered. I have eaten better pupusas, but these were also about a dollar cheaper per unit, so I can’t complain. All in all, it was quite decent. ”
