Muy delicioso! Absolutely delicious! We ordered several items from the menu. The pupusa’s were delicious. The steak and shrimp was delicious. I recommend you go try this place yourself.

I ordered pupusas. This place is a favorite for most people. I called in my order and waited about ten mins before my food was ready. Workers were welcoming and friendly. I loved the fact my food was nice and hot. The beans were the highlight for me. I’m not usually a fan of beans but theirs was an exception. Definitely recommend if wanting to try Salvadorian food!

Best Central American food I’ve had in Iowa so far!! Felt like I was back home in Guatemala, even though they serve Salvadoran food. Don’t be discouraged to go inside by the looks from outside the building. It’s a super nicely decorated and welcoming place in the inside. Service was great, with the owner’s daughter as our waitress and even met the cooks who also were super nice people. Definitely coming back on another time I visit Des Moines!

Love the pupusas and the pickled cabbage topping. House made red and green sauces are amazing. I always order extra – a pork and cheese pupusa reheated on the stove with a friend egg on top is a wonderful breakfast.
