      Our driver mentioned this was a great place for Pupusas and it exceeded our expectation. Very authentic. Can't wait to go back and try their breakfast.

      The worst in the area. Food is ok but service is horrible. Angry servers and I waited for to go good for an hour and 30 minutes.

      When I asked if I could cancel they said no. Would not issue me a refund.

      My family and I come here pretty often when we crave Salvadoran food. I actually really like this place; the waitresses are all very nice and friendly. The food tastes amazing. They even have their own parking lot across the street which makes it very accessible.

      This is a breakfast dish that comes with pupusas fried plantains, beans, rice, and Salvadoran cream.

      Ordered 3 pupusas revueltas, took a very long time for them to make they probably had a large order before me through the phone future covid-19, I was starting to get a little impatient, soon I got my three pupusas, let me tell you the pupusas were large larger than what I expected definitely coming back here and definitely worth the wait.

      I made and order by phone and they told me it would take 35 minutes and I didn't mind waiting. The only thing is that when I got there I needed to wait more than that since the food wasn't ready so I didn't get the point of ordering before. All the ladies in the kitchen instead of doing their job they were talking and laughing with each other. In the end when they gave me the food they told me it was a certain amount that I already paid and they wanted me to pay again because they weren't concentrated on what they were doing. And I told her I paid already but she still told me "Just making sure" and she did a nervous chuckle. She thought that I would forget and pay again. They might have changed the name but not the STUPID WORKERS who never change. I wouldn't recommend coming here especially when I had came here way before they changed the name and I thought it would be better since they changed the name but instead it became worse. Try to go somewhere else.

      Food is good but service is garbage. You have to wait so long for your food and while you wait, the workers make sure to give you attitude. Not worth it to me, so many other Salvadoran restaurants you can choose from.
