Love the food! The enchiladas with mole was absolutely delicious. The pupusas are really good! I recommend buying one of each because you'll love every bite of them all. My son loves the food and it is a good spot for a family and they have very nice staff. I really like this restaurant and I recommend it to everyone, you wont be disappointed!

My boyfriend is here for a work trip and we wanted to grab a quick lunch together. So delicious, the best nachos I’ve ever tasted and his enchiladas were delicious. The staff were super sweet too:)

Really tasty food. Cheese has a unique flavor. Pupusas and bean and cheese burritos are good.

I just stoped in this place because I notice that they are a Mexican restauran, but they have Pupusas in their menu. If you have in your menu Tacos and Pupusas, I am going to be harder to please than if you only had one of my two top items to eat when I want something delicious to eat. It’s hard to have a good Pupusa and good Tacos, at the same place, asking for the perfect, taco and the perfect Pupusa is just too greedy, but this is the place that comes closeS to the best combination of both that I’ve ever had: when you get pupusas de chicharrón con queso, and tacos de carne asada. They have many other great things in the menu, but I doubt that I will ever get to try them, because I’ve found my perfect combo.

The service was fast and friendly. The micheledas were huge and great! The food was ok. We had the carne asada and the meat was flavorful but a little tough. It was near closing time, but we didn't feel rushed. They even gave us extra warm tortillas. I would return if I were back in town.

popusas so good ! ! 😊
Leonel Callejas
What a great service we had. Even know that day it was busy, we had our food in a reasonable time, the waitress kept checking on us and helping us.We had a long drive the previous day, and it was so great to hear they still had menudo because that is a lifter if you never had it before 😉.

Literally the BEST pupusas I've ever had. I'm picky about beans and I can eat these by the bucket full. The salsa is on point too. Totally recommend!!!
Tc Anderson

After our first visit ever this past Tuesday night we decided that this is definitely a spot where we are planning on being regulars!Not many places have mole on the menu. I was in love with my mole enchilada (I think I was suppose to get 3 but I only received one on my plate?) My husband is a spicy food lover. And at this place he met his match. The spicy enchiladas are NO JOKE. I was enjoying watching him sweat with every bite! We also ordered a pupusa each and it was the perfect! We left so full!

This place is not worth your money, not sure how they have good reviews here, because our experience was not good. food was horrible, Pupusa were very bad, dry and the meat and beans tasted out of a can, we tried them all . They said the sopes where made from al pastor but definitely did not taste like it. Skip this place and go somewhere else. You won’t be missing anything

Seriously great food, fun staff as well. Garnachas are amazing!

The food is delicious. I especially like their refried beans and mexican rice. Perfect amount of seasoning. They start you off with chips and salsa which is usual for any mexican restaurant. The green salsa was spicy but not overly (but I'm a chili head) and the red salsa had great flavor.We got a 3 item plate. Pupusas, mixed with cheese and pork. Enchilada with chicken, and quesadilla with shredded beef. All were well seasoned and flavorful.My only gripe was with their ceviche. The tiny shrimp were not deveined and you can see the poop inside the shrimp. I would have used 10-20 shrimp, deveined then chopped up.So Chips and Salsa to start. 3 item plate with rice and beans and one tostada shrimp ceviche came out to $19.95 out the door. Super economical for this calibur food.

This place is so unprofessional the served us menudo with without all the stuff that comes with it and when we asked for it he said he would bring it right out we waited for like 20 min before we got it while we was waiting on other people and talking to co workers in the back. Horrible customer service!!!
Aleata Rodriguez
The absolute best pupusas I've ever had! And I've tried them from everywhere lol. I'm super picky with beans and these are also my favorite. Everything is fresh Everytime I go there and the restaurant is super clean. The staff couldn't be more friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Mannybro Games
They had no chorizo they were saying lots of bad words there own employees kept leaving and coming back the food was so greasy and I felt like if the food was reheated
Cynthia Garcia
Been going here since I was a pretty young. Great food & friendly staff. It's had its ups and downs with cooks so that's the only reason it isn't a 5 star

Tried this spot before with my friend and I am addicted ever since. I love the excellent character and flavorful dishes and drinks. Keep it up.
