Sra.Maria owner is a very sweet hard working lady. With great Salvadoran food for many years. Pablito has known her for many years! Awesome chicken soup like my mom used to make, pupusas not greasy at all full of favor.!!!!Have to try if you want authentic Salvadoran Food.

This place stays consistent. Food is really great fresh. The workers work hard to make sure that food is great. I had plantains for breakfast and the pupusa’s and are really good.

Best Salvadoran food outside el pulgarcito. Friendly service and very reasonable prices. From the music, the fútbol game on the TV to the service with a smile, the best!

I was craving “mojarra frita” and this place serves the best one! I also enjoyed 2 tamales de Elote, here’s one I’m saving for later, and “sopa de pescado ” I’m a huge plate, for hearty eaters! Totally recommend this place for true , authentic confort food made by hand.
