Very good papusas. I ordered the Loroco and two bean and cheese papusas and thought they were very tasty. We also liked the horchata and tamarind drinks. Fun atmosphere and good prices. Will definitely be coming back.

This little restaurant is a gem! The tables were all clean, the place is full of locals, a definite plus for me, knowing they know good & authentic food from their culture. The pupusas were hot and delicious, and the cabbage slaw was generous, fresh, and paired perfectly with my pupusas. Sorry, I didn’t take a pic before I ate almost 2 of the 3 pupusas I ordered. I was in the zone! The plantains were sweet and had that caramel-like crunch on the ends that I love. Treat yourself to a bit of El Salvador in Arlington! YUM!

I’ve gone here a few time and it’s always been amazing food. The pupusas are the best I’ve ever had. Even the steak quesadilla, that we order as appetizer was amazing. This is definitely an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!

Loves the pupusas, they take a while to make, so if you order pick up, try to do it ahead of time. All the stuff here is great, and the ladies working here are nice and happy, so… happy food and good food.

Fast and very friendly. The owner came over to our table and asked how everything tasted. My family loved their authentic Salvadorian popusas ad enchiladas. Giving it a 4 because the music was a little loud.
