Love the papusas here definitely authentic cooking in this establishment. Don't be afraid to try the chicken caldo here either. Very friendly food is cooked to order so be patient and relax and enjoy a beer or two while you wait for your delicious home cooked meal.

Ordered 4 popusas revueltas and they were delicious. Also ordered some chicken pastelitos that were a tad bit salty but also pretty good. This place has a lot more spacious options that I definitely looked forward to trying soon.

Small restaurant. When coming here I enjoy getting their pupusas for take out. Very rarely eat in. They mostly speak Spanish so for me there's a little bit of a language issue. I guess on a fundamental level they are good with customer service. For their patients mostly and for not rejecting me and/or some other negative experience. Would I go again? Yes for spontaneous urge for pupusas. Would I recommend? Yes, I Encourage at least a few visits. To draw own personal feel. Support small business that has great pupusas, plus potential good food.
