Don't sleep on this place.
The prices are reasonable.
All pupusas taste really good.
Yes, i've tried most of them.
So far, i can say they serve the best Frijol and cheese Pupusas for all of the vegetarians out there.
Also, if you order the queso con loroco, add jalapeños for a tasty kick.
The breakfast plates are very good.
The Marañon and Maracuyan are really good aguas frescas! Stop by and enjoy! Note: Don't add the chorizo to your breakfast, it's not worth it.
It's a small burned piece.
The sweet bread is not good n the coffee is light.
Also, Service is good when both owners are working, typically in the morning.
If theyvare not in youbwill be waiting a bit longer.
But Both owners are very friendly!

Pros: Delicious! They have two pupusa sizes: small and big.
The small ones are 1.25 and the big ones are 1.75.
The big ones are average size regular pupusas.
I think the prices are really competitive because I've been to places that charge crazy prices like $3 + for a pupusa or so.
They take credit cards which is a big plus for it being a small restaurant, the staff is friendly, and the orders come out relatively quickly.
Also, I asked for pupusas to be packaged separately so I can take them for lunch the next day and they gladly did that for me -- providing me with a generous portion of curtido and salsa. Cons: none.
If any, I'd say that it may be the very humble inner and outer appearance of the restaurant

The food here is so good I love their pupusas my friend brought me here it's so good I highly recommend this restaurant I believe it's a family owned restaurant small in a shopping center and and the food taste like its home made food.
Again I highly recommend it.
