Great food and service. It can get crowded so be aware of wait times. However it is worth the wait

If you love to eat this is a great place big portion Wow I’m hungry again

Bathroom was very clean. Yes I've been to other restaurants where even when the covid started restrooms were filty.. nice job. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. I don't know about the past reviews, in particular the cashier told me 30 mins for the order and it was about 28 29 minutes. I was pleased and very grateful the way I was handed the food. Sum other restaurants at times will throw the food and slam it on counter or table. I will visit one more time. Later on the month. For now its 5 stars. Alll the way.

The last time I came here I was pregnant... 5 yr later and they did a new upgrade idk if it's a new owner or same.. regardless they very friendly and Sat us quickly then again iT was super busy... this place can also hold a party as they have a bigger space which they have in the passed.. so it's a nice family place.

Go to place for pupusas, nowhere near as greasy as other places. The horchata is addictive. I would also recommend the sopa de pata and the carne encebollada.

Despite the numerous comments on the “poor customer service,” we had an exceptional experience here! The service was outstanding on top of their delicious food! Our server was personable, friendly, and she kindly answered our questions and gave recommendations. She offered free samples of their house-made drinks, and we had much fun trying them and ordering the drink that we knew what to expect. It was better than what we expected! En Salada! I repeat, it’s made in-house! and I suppose it requires a lot of work cause it had different types of fruits blended and chopped. It’s only 3.5 for the huge cup (“regular” size technically). The pupusas were so homemade taste and fresh and huge!! They tasted far better than what I had at different places. It was less greasy and had more natural, harmonious flavors. Their tomato sauce and spicy sauce were so good as well. The creamy chicken was good, but too rich for our taste. But overall, the presentation was quiet good and portion and flavor all exceeded our expectations. I can’t say much to the authenticity as I don’t have the cultural experiences to base my opinion, but based on my personal experience stated above, I recommend this place!!

This place is now one of my favorites to get an authentic pupusas revuelta, pastelitos de carne (meat empanada) and frescos like Ensalada (mixed fruit juice and real fruit served over ice) in the South Bay. The pastelitos are made to order, served w/curtido (pickled cabbage) and come 2 per order. The pupusas are made to order as well and served with a distinctive curtido that looked like it was glowing! It was sooo cool to see that but the best part is biting into that pupusa revuelta w/curtido and salsa de tomate (tomato sauce). Of course you cannot forget the ENSALADA!!! With this summer weather it beats the thirst w/an Ensalada over ice! Next visit I'll definitely try the tamales, Salpicon, Sopa de Gallina and the Yuca! Pictures will be posted soon!

Great place for Salvadorian craving. loving the atmosphere came here for a friend's Birthday Lunch celebrating her. Overall Great Place!!! I'm coming back for sure!!!
