Excellent pupusas and savory other dishes! Always fresh to order. The yucca and Chicharron plate with a couple of pupusas and horchata drink is a bomb meal!!

Best Pupusas in the area! ($3.50-3.95 each tho). We love coming here because the food is so good! It's nothing fancy, but it's good traditional El Salvadoran food.

Great food that is freshly prepared. We had the pupusas and the Philly. Thumbs up to both! Friendly staff and happy people. You can even learn a little bit about El Salvador while looking around.

Ordered the pupusas and they were delicious! The masa is so fresh and the food temperature was super hot , even after placing the order to go and bringing it home. Also had a chicken tamale that was just as delicious! Very reasonable prices , will definitely go back for more!
