Another first time restaurant we came to and I have to say that it was actually really good, if you like pupusas or never tried them you need to come to this place.

This is a very casual spot that’s always busy on the weekends. My family and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. We usually visit on a weekend because it’s about a 40 minute drive from where we stay. That alone should speak volumes towards how good the pupusas are. I’ve tried just about every dish they offer over the years but i usually order a classic breakfast dish that comes with egg, pupusa, rice beans and a tamale on the side if my apatite is bigger then usual. I would recommend visiting when you have time as sometimes the wait for your food can be upwards of 20+ minutes. The staff is friendly and if you find yourself not liking a dish they are willing to replace it for you. They also sell desserts and sweet bread which we often purchase to eat later at home with coffee.

Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. This place is owned by proud Christians who play inspiring music over the loudspeakers and serve delicious and filling pupusas, yucca, chicharron, tamales, baked goods, and larger dinner plates. They give you ample servings of pickled cabbage which complements the delicious home cooked warmth of the main dishes with a tangy and spicy crunch. They offer both a spicy and homestyle cabbage. The agua frescas are fruity and flavorful. We tried the marañon and the guanabana which were both tasty. The service staff are friendly and helpful! Top notch Salvadorian food. Their portions, preparations, and people are great examples of applied Christian principles.
