Come for the delicious pupusas and other authentic food from El Salvador. Though the gritty exterior may be offputting, the kind and friendly staff will make up for it along with the yummy freshly made to order meals! Have returned many times and they are consistently wonderful.

I cant believe I lived here for over a year and decided to try this place days before I move. The food is delicious. I tried four different pupusas, tamale de elote, and yuca frita. It was all amazing.

We visited this little place for the first time about a week ago for dinner. My husband had never had a pupusa before and didnt know what I was raving about. Its easy to screw up a pupusa...too little filling, less than quality ...
