Food is affordable, delicious and presented nicely! We had the pork and cheese pupusas, beef burrito, breakfast platter and tamarind juice. Each dish was served warm and tasted like your grandma worked in the kitchen for a few hours in the morning preparing it. Service was quick. It fills up quickly!

YUM! Do yourself a favor and get the pupusas from here, they are so yummy!! The cheese and revuelta ones are the best but all of them are yummy. We normally only get pupusas when we come here but this past time we did get a veggie ...
