What People are Saying
What a hidden gem! We passed by one our way to another spot & ended up giving it a try. The online ordering system was seamless. I got the lunch special & it was larger than I expected, such a great deal. I really liked the meat & beans pupusa. I also ordered their side of plaintains & it unexpectedly came with beans. Everything tasted great & the girl that helped us was very nice. The inside is pretty bland but everything looked clean. Overall great find, I’d definitely return.

Absolutely delicious pupusas and yummy tamales fritos con crema!! I am so excited this place opened up their door, it was so worth the wait!! I ordered take out and every container was marked making it easy to identify. Food freshly made and full of flavor! Delicious!!
Will come back soon!

Came here for dinner with a buddy. They have a pretty big menu with a lot of options. The pupusas are fantastic and filling. The steak item I got was very good and I highly recommend it. Very flavorful and juicy– basically a much better version of fajitas. The tortillas it comes with are also definitely worth try. A lot of people were coming here for take out too which I will probably do next time. This place is definitely worth a try!

Wow, this is a great place. We all tried different pupusas and they were ALL excellent. I personally liked chicken chipotle and shrimp the best. Cabbage salad was very fresh. First time we’ve been here, it’s only 1 month old. Very clean.
