We have all heard of taco Tuesday but at this place they have Pupusa Tuesdays for around 3. They also have mini pupusas that under 2. Great food, just not in the nicest shopping center this city has to offer. But this little hole in the wall is great.

It's a hole in a wall but that just means the food is super good. I love the food it's very very tasty and the price is reasonable.

I absolutely love this place! I've been coming here as long as I can remember! Let's just say I'm 36 yrs old and I've been coming here since even before I was 13yrs old! Best Pupusas I've ever had. Open to other places, but they just don't compare! And their Curtido, I always save what I don't eat and serve it with some meat I cook. You won't be disappointed! They even extended their restaurant because they get so busy! Thanks for your great food! Went on Friday Sept 6th, 2019 to celebrate and have an anniversary lunch with my hubby, being together for 16yrs!

So I was craving Pupusas and looked up for some in the area. This place cane up and I read reviews. All I read was this place was pricey but good. Well I must say you are paying for some delicious food here. It’s not overpriced but properly priced for delicious Pupusas. I called in my order and the gentleman was very friendly. My order was accurate and delicious. You have to try the ensalada which was just perfect. Maybe when I’m in town I’ll go back for a second time. This is a must try!!!

El Salvador continues to have the best pupusas. Cheese and pork mixed pupusas covered in cabbage and doused in salsa that always hits the spot.
