“ Pupusaaaaaaaaaassssss so yum, made from scratch of course. Definitely come support the work of art this cuisine is ... ”
“ Basically my favorite Mexican/Salvadorian restaurant of all time. Great selection of options at a good price. I highly recommend just buying 2 pupusas a la carte; that in itself is a good meal. Many options seem vegetarian but I can't say if they use lard in their masa. Awesome place, great people! ”
“ The papusas were amazing and cooked just right. And the staff was very nice. ”
