Absolutely delicious and the restaurant has an extensive vegan menu! Had the Gran Vegan which haa a variety (pupusa, tostada and tamale with beans and plantain). Had food with a horchata drink – a little on the sweet side but yum!

My oh my. Came here randomly with a buddy, both out of towners. We had some time to kill and wanted something different and ended up here. Empty at lunch but we were warmly welcomed by the owner. We each had a passionfruit marg, he had a vegan platter and I had pupusa and flautas. The food was delicious. I’d not had pupusa’s before and these were light, flavorful and delicate. Almost like a Bao bun that had a lil charcoal on it. The flautas had been fried but it was so light and airy, no oily or heaviness. The beans and plantains that came with the dishes were so so good! It’s all well priced for the amount and quality. It’s a lovey, little place. It’s great finding these kinds of restaurants in any city, not a meal I’ll quickly forget.

Got a sausage sampler and sangria to start. Flavorful and very tasty but was off menu. Very friendly and accommodating. The papusa and tamales were perfectly executed, fresh, tasty. The sauces add a bit of spice, a bit of cooling, as desired. The beans can be eaten but make a great dip on their own. Definitely going back again.

Good food, we really enjoyed what we chose. Not an expert in this type of cuisine but I had eaten pupusas before and these were great and tasted fresh. However, we agreed that, in spite of this, the price is not in line with the food, too expensive for us to eat here again. This is a cash-only establishment.

WE’LL BE BACK, AGAIN: Uniquely fantastic latin joint loved by travelers & locals alike. Large portions, lively atmosphere and great place to bring guests. Heads up — this award winning eatery is prominent in Nola publications & foodie socials, so the place is often busy even before the dinner rush. Next time, we’ll probably call ahead.

This was an amazing place, food spectacular and the owner Manny was so welcoming we felt like family. It is a very quaint place with good vibes. The pics speak for themselves, get the Papusa and try the authentic dishes. Ask him to lead you down a cultural road to the best food in the region.

Great staff, fun atmosphere. Menu looks fantastic, and you’ll likely want to eat everything. If you’re uncertain, let Manny be your guide on the culinary adventure and you will not be disappointed.

My first time trying pupusas…and OH.MY.GOSH those were soooo good! The beans tasted amazing too. Everything tasted great. The owner is a fun guy, makes you feel welcomed. I thought the chips with guacamole were a bit spicy, so he brought more mild just for me. Definitely coming back. If I could give more than 5 stars for this experience, I’d totally do it.
