Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food (pupusas de chicharon con queso & pupusas de revuelta, pastelitos de pollo, and the empanada de plátanos) were delicious! The Salvi Horchata was very good and authentic- I loved it (that's saying something cause I'm picky with my horchata)! Will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family!

Really good pupusas. We tried 4 of the 10 types and I always pick the eclectic options. The pumpkin, loroco, and jalapeno were mild in flavor but had fabulous cheesy goodness. The chicken added a better contrast and their table hot sauce was tasty. We got a bowl of curtido, too, which was also good. They do make everything fresh, so if there is a line, expect to wait a little, it is worth it. I will return and test other interesting options.

Great little spot. I was thrilled to discover this place. It's close to the bus stop where I was waiting for the bus. I went in to order take out and they had it ready before my bus came. I ordered a sweet corn tamal, fried plantains with cream only (no beans), and a cheese and loroco pupusa. I didn't eat any of it until I got to my hotel and it was all so good that I was bummed I hadn't ordered more.
