Authentic Salvadoran food and baked goods. I really enjoy the Salvadoran style quesadillas which are nothing like TexMex quesadillas. They are a sweet and savory breakfast muffin/bread

Excellent pupusas. Very slow service when dining in as they serve take-out before sit-down customers. I’d go back if this changes, but after waiting over 30 minutes for food as the only sit-down customers, I can’t return. I didn’t try the pastries, but they look excellent. Nice staff, but they really need to prioritize people who dine-in.

Still our favorite place for Pupusas and other delicious food. Worth the drive! Kind and helpful staff. Fresh and delicious food.

I attended this restaurant and sat at a table for 25 minutes with no acknowledgment from the staff as to my presence. I finally got tired of waiting and walked out. Truly poor service.

Lovvvvvvvve their pupusas and tamales. Thank you to my coworker for introducing this place. Always hits the spot. I haven’t tried anything else but everything else looks good too. It is street parking. So keep that in mind.

The service wasn’t great. I felt ignored and never got any utensils even when I asked. I asked for a box at the end and she gave me a disgusted look and handed me one. I’m not feeling welcomed here at all so I won’t be coming back.

food came out very quickly and was nice and hot! I recommend the rancheros eggs, very delicious and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. pupusas were amazing and the salad and sauce that goes with it was very authentic. plantains w mantiquilla was very tasty. one of my favorite restaurants now!

This was my first time trying this pupuseria and absolutely loved it. I placed an order online for my holiday party via their chat feature and it was so easy. As soon as I smelled the food (pupusas and tamales), I felt at home. Will definitely go back.

The food is great and the service is also really good. If you want delicious pupusas and greats service, visit this restaurant. They have 2 other stores (Minneapolis and Bloomington). AVOID the restaurant that is in Bloomington. That restaurant is too loud with music, take 45-60 minutes to receive your food, and waitress communication is horrible. JUST visit the Saint Paul one instead (I have not visited the MPLS restaurant).
