Omg! Been ordering there delicious pupusas, carne asada burrito and chicken tacos for a couple of years and never disappoint always fresh and yummy!!!!
Lately I have been there a couple of times, the people who serve you are very friendly, especially a new girl who every time you arrive makes you feel very welcome and is attentive to the customer's needs, the food is very delicious, their birria, pupusas, cakes, corn quesadillas, cheese tamales and desserts.You can see that there is a change and the atmosphere feels very pleasant, I definitely recommend them. Well they say it is a hidden gem in the AV
We love this place! The best pupusas and tameles in town
I loved the new service they have, I went to order a cake and they met all my expectations. They have a greater variety of cakes and what can we say about the tres leches with red fruits and mascarpone cheese mousse, it is a delight, they also have carrot cake.While there I realized that it has new owners and there is a different atmosphere. I think the person who gave me the cake was the owner and the truth is that she is very kind and attentive.While I was there I ordered something to eat and my food, as always, was very delicious and fresh, I will really return.But the best of all is that the old fat man with glasses is no longer there, Maribel really needed a change of owner. I wish the new owners much success, they made me feel at home. I recommend this place and I definitely recommend it.
I haven’t been here in a month or so but stopped by today because I read there was a new owner and the place has improved since.There is a change in atmosphere — in a positive way.Definitely have to point out the cashier Ashley who greeted and served everyone with the biggest smile. Food came out good also.I read some of the other reviews about people not coming back because the previous owner was rude. He’s not there anymore, this place has new ownership and it’s so much better now!Will definitely be returning. Thank you!
Best Pupusas, they make them so big stuffed nicely you get full with just 1. I am from L.A. and authenticity is something I always look for in cultural plates and this one hits! Such a nice homemade taste!
First time in. All the staff I interacted with were kind and helpful.The chicken pupusa was made fresh and tasted amazing. The price was was lower than expected and the size was larger.
Best tamales in the area by far! They are enormous! The masa is seasoned and not bland and they FILL the tamales with so much delicious meat! From end to end! I can only eat half of one.The people are extremely friendly and you can tell they really believe in the quality of their food.
