For months I was craving pupusas, and then, yesterday, "I found" this place, and IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. Its menu is wide and varied, including its Aguas Frescas.
They also have a lovely patio area; I recommend you have your meal there.
The staff is friendly, and the place is clean. I enjoyed: - Loroco pupusa (Salvadoran vegetables with cheese) - Jalapeños pupusa (jalapeños and cheese) - Beans pupusa - Chicharrón pupusa (pork) - Revuelta pupusa (pork, beans and cheese) - Agua de maracuya - Sangría Bonus: they do not limit you to the amount of salsa or curtido (vegetables) that accompany the pupusas.
They bring you the bottle of salsa and a plate, not a small container, with the curtido. I will come back to try more of their menu.

Only second time ever having pupusas.
Very savory! Liked the beef and the pork, did not like the chicken.
The restaurant had a night club vibe (is it a night club at night?).
Service was friendly and quick

I think the place badly needs a remodel.
It's not my cup of tea.
The music was too loud, the tables were not comfortable, the restrooms atrocious.
However I'm here to talk about the food.
I ordered pupusas with beans and cheese and pupusas with loroco and cheese and an ensalada de fruta which is a tropical fruit drink with chunks of fruit.
The food is so good though, such a contrast to the way the place looks.
I definitely want to try other dishes next time, but I'll be honest I'll most likely order to-go.
