Las mejores pupusas que he probado, un lugar muy barato, con muy buena atención, el personal es muy amable. He probado otros platillos como empanadas y/o emparedados y son igual de ricos. Ofrecen pago con tarjeta. -El lugar es un poco antiguo, entonces estéticamente podría estar mejor pero no le resta a la experiencia culinaria. -Al estar frente a calle principal puede ser un poco ruidoso, pero si escogen una mesa al fondo es mínimo el ruido

Loved the crispness of the shells of the pupuseria and the sopa de carne...whose broth is light and savory with very tender meats. Wholesome and authentic with quality ingredients...will have to get a second upon return!

Definitivamente un lugar en el cual se percibe el amor con el que se prepara la comida, es muy casera y de un muy buen sabor. Poseen las mejores pupusas que he probado a la fecha, y ni que decir de sus sopas, y el chifrijo de los días Sábado. El personal es muy atento, y son excelentes personas. El ambiente es muy familiar y agradable, el único punto a mejorar refiere a que el lugar tiende a ser caliente, por lo demás no puedo quejarme.

The people here are kind. The chicken empanadas are amazing, and so is the tres leches cake.
