LOVE THIS PLACE. the food is amazing, horchata delicious and the service is perfect. 10/10 recommend

10/10! The pupusas and shrimp/fish soup are delicious. They have horchata salvadoreña and ensalada drinks.

Had a really filling and delicious brunch. The salvadorian breakfast was a great balance of different things. And the pupusas were up there with the best I've ever had. They treated us like family so the service was key as well. We had never tried this place and it did not disappoint. Were glad we found it. The vibes were family driven and we really enjoyed our breakfast/ lunch here at this place. They also had plenty of soups and some mexican food items. Something I will look forward too.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Unassuming hole in the wall with great pupusas. The hubby and I were looking for a quick lunch in the area and pupusas sounded great. BTW, they have many other Salvadorean and Mexican items on the menu, lest you think they only have pupusas here. We placed an order for 2 vegetarian, one bean and cheese, and one loroco pupusas. The lady told us it would be about 20 minutes so we went for a little walk around the block. We decided to eat our food at Houghton Park, about a mile up the street, and it turned out to be a very nice picnic. Something we should have requested, though, were paper plates, as the pupusas were just wrapped in foil and they happened to have little holes in them which made for a bit of a mess when we put the slaw and the watery spicy sauce on top of the pupusas. Oh well, something to remember for next time! I'm glad it wasn't overly packaged, actually. On to the food, which was great in every way: generously sized, fresh, and well-made. They were all good but the bean and cheese was my favorite. We were pretty full after just one so we saved the others for a snack later, and they were still delicious after microwaving. So excited we found out about this place--we'll definitely be back!
