We found this Salvadoran place and had to try it out. We ordered multiple items from the menu. Each plate was really tasteful! We will be coming back soon.

Visiting and glad the GPS took me a weird way through town to stumble upon this gem. Hadn’t had Salvadoran food since moving from back East/DC and these folks are the real deal if not even better. Super delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, and family friendly/casual. Telling my friends and I’ll be visiting this area of town much more often now!

I went a late Saturday night. We ordered pupusas (revueltas, and the cuscatleco pupusa) with horchata mexicana. I also went back on Sunday morning (it was busy) we had a larger group and we ordered (pupusas con todo, pupusas revueltas, pupusas de puro queso, yuca frita con chicharron, and the desayuno cuscatleco) with enslada drink, and horchatas mexicanas. Both days I went the staff was all very polite, very attentive. They brought us chips and salsa right away. Will be back to try out different dishes. Thank you for a great first time experience.

Well done, Cuscatleco. Well done! This place was super satisfying. Great selection across the menu and everything was decent to great! El Salvadoran food is pretty no frills (including the venue), so manage your expectations – it’s simple, tasty, and easy. We ate family style grabbing a selection of papusas, tamales, tacos and ceviche for my kiddo. Everything was solid. Portions were reasonable, prices were decent and service was attentive but not overbearing. Only criticism was the guacamole might have been a single avocado and was ~$8 and we got some yucca fries without chicharrón and it was ~$12 – both were a bit of rip off. I’d go definitely come back, but would not get the guacamole or yucca.
