  This place is underrated. Home made food from El Salvador. They take pride in serving you. Coffee in a ceramic cup + saucer. Not a time saving environmentally unfriendly paper cup laced with chemicals which you ingest as you are drinking your coffee.  Like walking into a home in El Salvador with moms cooking for you. Missed this place for years bc the outside is old.
  
  Hand made tortillas. Eggs w/Loroco, cheese, diluted sour cream similar to yogurt, beans. Delicious. Going back for more meals.
  
  Location is an old taco bell where the outside area seating was converted to an indoor dining area. People bring their families here on the weekend for meals. Very authentic. Everything handmade from scratch. The tacos here are better than any other place I have been to.
  
  Well run. Kids who run it at the register and help out are fantastic.

  Came here to try papusas for the first time. The restaurant is inconspicuous and I heard it used to be a Taco Bell. The menus have a lot in them.
  
  I ordered the horchata, cheese and shrimp papusa, and potato chorizo papusa. It came with a sauce, chips and salsa, and a side of cabbage slaw.
  
  The papusas are really delicious and very filling. I barely finished two. The horchata was also really tasty. The service was decent.
  
  This isn't a fancy place. It's a very casual Mexican diner type of restaurant. what i ate was so good that l be coming back.

  Came for a first visit due to recommendation. Wanted to try pupusas. These were ok, but I am not wild about them.
  
  That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Restaurant itself sits on its own separate parking area and appears to be an old restaurant that's had an upgrade to bring it to what it is now. Table service was great, the menus were extensive, and I have a feeling that there are many good options besides purposes for me here.
  
  Enjoy!

  Sorry, not for me. I looked in the menu and my girlfriend and I thought we'd split a Fajita plate. $17.95. Guy rings it up and says $37. I said "no we just wanted one". He said they only come in two's. I don't know what that means. Doesn't say anything like that on the menu. Guy seems to understand what I'm asking for. I said, ok let's try something else. Three fish tacos and 3 chicken tacos. $32. What? something's gone wrong here. Anyway, he got it all figured out and we waited for our food.
  
  First of all, the place is rather disgustingly dirty... for the customer. Black crud on all the lower walls like where they mopped. Grout is jet black. Just dirty and grimy all over. Haven't seen the back.
  
  Food comes. Three fish tacos were minuscule. About 2-1/2" in diameter with just a blob of chopped iceburg lettuce. I wish I took a picture. I could eat one in two bites. I knew there was fish hiding underneath, but couldn't have been much.
  
  After spending like $28 on barely any food, and a filthy environment I definitely don't recommend this place.
