Pupusas were excellent. Table service was difficult to deal with… had to ask for water, which was bottled and not free, but they had tap water available that I had to get myself. Let’s just say the tip was minimal. I’ll stick to takeout next time.

The food was amazing! I ordered the surf and turf and it was so tender and flavorful. The salad was fresh, fresh – like it was picked from a garden. Service was quick and very friendly. Will definitely come again!

Am visiting from out of town. Ordered this and was enjoying it so much forgot about a video call. They turned the music down a bit and it was the best experience I have had in a few years. Food was amazing. Caesar, the manager a true gentleman. I wanted to experience it again before I left town and came back today (a couple of days later) and it felt like home. Authentic food from scratch.

Had chicken fajitas, chicken tacos, and plantains. Food was good, but it would have been nice to have had an option between black and refried beans. Service was okay. Better than average mom-and-pop decor. Plenty of outdoor lighting and windows.

I ordered 2 Revuelta Pupusas and Yuca with Chicharon to go and they didn’t give me any Curtido (cabbage) for the pupusas. Pupusas were good but would have been much better if I had the curtido to go along with it. The yuca and chicharon was good too!
