The atmosphere is very plain, nothing extraordinary. Service from the lady clerk bad, it was my first time and she kind of rush me and I was only trying to understand the menu and food. Maybe they are short on staff but rushing you for everything it wasn’t nice. I would not back to this place ever. First and last time. Also you have to pay extra for using your credit card.

I haven’t had pupusas in a very long time. They were very good, I had revueltas, I also had horchata salvadoreño. Every thing was awesome.

We came to this pupusas place to try them out based on the 4+ stars rating it has on google maps, but we also noticed it had some bad reviews of people complaining on the portion size of the pupusas and that they hardly have any ingredients inside, so we decided to buy one pupusa to try and if we liked it we would dine there (family of 3 adults and 1 baby), there was only 8 people eating inside, so we ordered 1 pupusa revuelta to go, so even though it was relatively slow it still took them over 20 minutes to prepare 1 pupusa, also we noticed they had kids going in and out of the kitchen which is very dangerous and a huge hazard, another no-no they only take cash so if you want to pay with credit card or debit you can’t, after waiting around 15 minutes we asked why it was taking so long to get 1 pupusa ready and no common sense explanation was given, we asked for our $$$ back and they refused to refund us our $$$, so after 20+ minutes of waiting our pupusa was ready, so we left because if it took them that long to prepare 1 pupusa, we figured how much longer would it take them to prepare a bigger order for our whole family, once we left, we opened the pupusa and the taste was good can’t complain about that, but the bad reviews where very honest and on point with the comments of the size of the pupusa based on the price they charge for them, we proceeded to go eat at the usual place where we’ve gone for 15+ years on 3824 University ave. called El Salvador Pupuseria y Restaurante, pupusas are served in more generous portions and prices are also more convenient and you can pay with CC or debit, food is prepared in a timely manner.

It is an idea of a Salvadoran restaurant, first of all they don’t add eggs or beets to the bread with chicken, I went back and ordered a beef soup, completely different, without cabbage and worst of all and the biggest sacrilege, the tortillas are Mexican, not Salvadoran, they add a lot of strange things to the soup, it tastes good but I was expecting real Salvadoran food. I give it 3 stars, to find another place that is 100% Salvadoran.

Changed our lives. We were sooo hungry and found this local treasure. Super affordable. Absolutely delicious and fulfilling. Generous servings. Fresh chips + horchata. Each pupusa has a hearty filling of cheese + meat, veggie options as well. Staff is friendly and sweet. Will definitely come again and bringing all my friends.

Good spot for some Salvadorian. The pupusas were on point, and I loved the cabbage slaw that it comes with. The chicken was probably the best of the three that I got (which included bean & cheese and spinach). The horchata was tasty, too!

Customer service is excellent! They truly make you feel welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. Didn’t feel bloated or heavy. My tummy felt satisfied and I left happy. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant.
