Great papusas. Good selection of drinks available. Quiet clean and friendly. It is a little slice of the nice side of el salvador
Love this place! It is a family favorite. Great food, good service (never had a bad experience) but not a fast food restaurant for sure. Tons of flavor and variety is good from normal carne asada to more acquired taste item such as tripe or whole tilapia fish. Parking not so great...
The food is very good. The entire feel is that it is a family restaurant, serving you the same food as you would get at their home. It is a nice little spot to sit and have dinner. Some times the place is packed, which tells you something. Perhaps call to see how busy they are? Or take out.
The food is always fantastic and plentiful. Its worth stopping by if you have a curiosity for Salvadorian cuisine, or just really hungry for good food.
Delicious food and they support delivery! Now that we are aging in place and not adequate time to cook--I search everywhere for excellent food to be brought to our front door
Been coming here past five years. These ladys in the hot kitchen know how to cook they rock I love their food just be patient when ordering as its made to order for you. Its a hole in the wall but its the best pupusas, caldos, carne guisadas in Thurston county..decent size portions too.
Forgot to take pictures cause we dug in but this place is delicious and affordable. I got the pupusas revueltas, carne asada tacos, and platanos Fritos (aka platanos maduros). All of it was delicious and only cost $33 before tip. The service was great. It's not too big, kind of a hole in the wall type place. Will definitely be coming back here often. Happy I found this place (: ETA: went back again cause it's so good and took pictures to add to my review
Pretty good! I ordered the combination plate (D.) which is two pupusas with rice and beans. Pupusas were amazing! Rice and Beans are just okay. Beans were on the salty side and there was a burnt taste to them. I also ordered a horchata, which was good. Ordered to go and the food is made FRESH so it did take about 15-20 mins before I got the order. Please be aware that it does take sometime. It's very quite and calm inside. I went when they weren't very busy. I'd definitely come again. It was $17.
It's easy to pass but don't. I tried their pupusas a couple years ago, and wasn't impressed. I couldn't resist the craving anymore, so I reluctantly tried again and DAMN did they improve. We got pupusas revueltas (mixed), Jamaica, and tamarindo. Aguas frescas were a little sweet but flavor was there. The pupusas. My God. Their glorious combination of cheese, beans, and pork was stuffed to the max. Their salsa is smooth with a hint of spice and the curtido was decent. We'll definitely be coming back.
