I've been here a handful of times already and the food is amazing, my girlfriend and I love this little spot. Food is made fresh to order, whether you're dining in or getting caryout, they make sure everything's fresh and that you have everything you need (salsas, curtido, etc.). I've only had their pupusas and haven't tried from their wide variety on the menu, including the "Pupu Taco" which happens to be their staple dish. I got too fixated on the first thing I had! My gf and I also recently had the opportunity to meet the owner for the first time. He was super welcoming and inviting, unfortunetly we didn't get his name, but we'll continue going back without a doubt.

This place has the best pupusas in town! I had the puputaco (pupusa taco) and it was amazing. The food is so good it doesn’t even need a sauce, but their sauces are phenomenal. Their aguas frescas are freshly made and so delicious. I tried the dragonfruit one and the maracuja/passion fruit one and they were both so delicious. The customer service was 12/10. The place is family owned and everyone was so kind and attentive. This place is definitely a hidden gem!

One of the best places to get tacos de lengua but get it in a puputacos with guacamole…. Is one of a kind. The cashier was a great host and very helpful. They have a bunch of new hybrid plates, as in they have Salvadoran dishes mix with a kick of Mexican dishes. It’s also a family own business, definitely a great place to enjoy some delicious food with a fresh agua fresca.
