Read all the great reviews online and wanted to give it a try, I avoid all chains and fast food on our travel routes. Freshly made ‘pupulus’ made from scratch with tlc, a corn patty style pancake filled with chicken and beans and cheese. Very friendly service they gave us 2 free for the first time. We ordered 10 (for 2 people) it’s only $2.50 each and it was still piping hot for hours served with homemade red sauce and slaw. Definitely worth the detour off Hwy – good to know for future we could have called the order in. You must try, there is an outdoor table.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. I ordered 3 traditional & a horchata drink. They are made to order so I waited in my car. The restaurant is cash only and you order at the side window.

I have had pupusa’s for the first time ever about 8 years ago in San Francisco after I had them they were an always food to find in all the places I moved while living in California. I moved back to Pennsylvania 2017 and I hadn’t had a pupusa for years till we drove by this place a few times and tried to figure out how to get there. It was worth it I like the specials if you buy larger amounts you will not regret it, we got the 20 with 3 free so we did the chicken bean and cheese 10 + bean and cheese 10 + cheese the free …. best idea and adventure ever. These ladies are doing a good thing pupusa is life I swear now that we have found it we will travel the hour to have it my other half is El Salvadorian so he vouched for this being as close to California flavor and home it filled a void. Someone did state they would do better business of they did pork we aren’t in total disagreement it would be a nice idea to have more than one meat but chicken is a good one as well easier on the stomach. Now if only we could find an In n Out.

Feeling adventurous to try something new. I ordered the Pupusas, tamale & sope. I wanted to try a variety so I can see what I like. My favorite was the sope. It was all interesting in a good way. I enjoyed trying new foods and I will definitely be back to try the burrito and tacos next visit. The prices are very reasonable. The people working were incredibly nice.

May seem like a hole the wall type of place but these places are usually the best. Tastes homemade and very very authentic (the Pupusa’s). Would highly recommend, especially the chicken, cheese and beans (the traditional). Only downside is that they’re a cash only place.

Such a sweet little place. They only make one food item but it’s consistently delicious and made fresh on ordering. It takes them about 15-20 minutes to fulfill orders so of you’re in a rush you should order ahead of time but if you have time it’s worth the wait. The slaw that’s served with the Pupusas if phenomenal. The fresh passion fruit juice is so good also. Cute little spot on the corner with tables outside to eat at. Also, SO cheep.

I absolutely love this place. Whenever we have company from out of town we order from here because it’s unique and delicious. I start dreaming of the papusas every few weeks and they never ever disappoint. My husband would love for them to bring the tacos back but I’m so hooked on the papusa that I don’t care if it’s the only thing they serve. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Went 2 times. The first time was good–really good–got chicken pupusas. The second time–got a grilled chicken burrito–NOT GOOD AT ALL. Disgusting. The tamarind juice was ok. Things were OK if not pretty great until I had that disgusting burrito. And it made a mess when I traveled with it. Staff the second time was also not the same. I would pass on it or take a chance and get the pupusas.
