“ I love this place so much. Their pupusas are great, their fried yuca and the chicharrones feel fresh and well cooked, my parents adore when I buy them tamales con crema, their horchata is delicious. My only 2 complains are that the place is pretty small, and that they take a bit too long to bring you the food (but it's expected when you want quality food). I adore this place so much! ”
“ After living here for so many years I did not know that Mestizo was 5 minutes away and a hole in the wall. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. Staff was friendly and the pupusas were delicious! 10/10 I also got to try their atole de elote 10/10 & their bean empanada which was sweet and perfect for dessert. I got their pupusa special and well I couldn't be happier. ”
“ Love this place! The food is very authentic Salvadorian, the Pupusas taste great and the platanos are the best here. Definitely a "Go-to" restaurant. ”
“ I don't normally leave reviews but, this place is a 10/10! The customer service is absolutely amazing! The food is phenomenally well done! The ambiance is cozy and relaxing. I ordered pupasas revueltas and loroco con queso, side of Platanos Fritos con frijoles y crema. I definitely recommend this place! 10/10 ”
“ Excellent food and service. The quesadilla and pupusa were fabulous. Wonderful experience! ”
“ Cool spot. I enjoy having a Shrimp Cocktail with a delicious cold Michelada on random Fridays. I love the tropical music playing on the background while enjoying my meal. Alex, was prompt with the meals n drinks. Great service! ”
“ I'd give them three stars but they get an extra one because they have the best quesadillas I've ever had. I'm not typically a fan because I find them a little dry but the ones here are a tad moist, which I loved. As for the pupusas, I'm gonna have to give them a 3 out of 5. The masa was a bit too crisp and I could tell right away they didn't use the right cheese. I later learned from the employee that they blend five cheeses together. I wasn't a fan of that. So over all, not a terrible place. My friend really enjoyed them and I didn't hate it. Definitely returning for those quesadillas! ”
“ My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for over two decades, and they have always been pure, traditional quality. They have the best pupusas in the Valley and some of the best I've ever had, including from El Salvador. Their other food is also just as good, their Yuca con Chicharrón is made perfectly, the yuca is crisp outside and soft and warm inside. Their chilate reminded my mother of her childhood. You will probably have to wait a bit for your order. They receive and prepare orders made vía telephone along with orders made in person and everything is home-made. It is well worth any wait, but if you prefer, you can call and order in advance. They used to have an old-school jukebox, but they still play good Central-American music. The place has been humble, but they really take care of their restaurant. If you like Salvadoran food, or if you want to be given a proper introduction to it: this restaurant is an absolute must. ”
“ Service is good, very attentive customer service. Food was solid 7.5. Price is a little high for what the portions. I will come back if I ever want some Salvy food again ”
