We had an amazing New Year's Eve dinner at this cozy Cuban restaurant! Even without reservations, we were seated quickly and enjoyed the best **masitas de puerco con congris** and tacos. The flavors were authentic and reminded us of home in Miami, where good Cuban food sets a high bar. Excellent food, warm ambiance, and great service--highly recommend!

Came here after reading an article about this restaurant months ago. I was excited to try pupusas from what seems to be an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. The service was quick. The ambiance was small. We picked up a couple of different pupusas to try out. The pupusas were delicious, especially the Revuelto one. Highly recommend coming here if you are near the area.

This is a small but clean and neat restaurant with very authentic food. The tastes are right on, especially the salsa de tomate for pupusas ( that's apparently a hard taste to get right). The service is fast and accurate and the menu is extensive for such a small place.

This place is unquestionably amazing! The staff and restaurant are such a positive vibe! The food is incredible never dry or stale, always full of flavor with and without adding salsa 10/10

FIRST TIME VISIT! Mind you, I've visited their food truck many times and was so glad they were just down the street! I love their pupusas WITH TONS OF CURTIDO and salsa, platanos con crema, and those tamales wrapped in banana leaves. That's some good eats! The worker at the drive thru window recognized me as a customer of their food truck and cheerfully greeted me. Apparently, the family has sold their food truck business about a month ago and has moved into this brand new space (on the far westside) on Potranco near the 211... now just up the street! Oh, joy of joys! They also have Mexican food, so today I ordered a plate of carne asada mini tacos for the hubby, 2 pupusas de revuelta (beans, chicharrones and cheese) and a plate of fried plantains (platanos) with crema, beans and a hunk of what I'm guessing to be Salvadoran cheese for yours truly. No, I wasn't messing around today. Beware of the orange colored habanero salsa, IT'S HOT! The curtido (pickled slaw) is as delicious as I remember from the food truck and the passion fruit drink is AMAZING. I did not care for the Salvadoran cheese, probably an acquired taste. Hey, I get it. I'm Hawaiian and I love poi but don't always recommend it to non-locals for the same reason. Everything else was tasty and addressed my cravings with a quickness... although I may need more this weekend.

I finally found a place that has the best pupusas!! I've been looking for a place like this for a whole year. It's a lil food truck located next to a car shop. It has a lil blue tarp that you can't miss. Parking is sort of limited but I think it's ok to park at the car shop since that's where I parked and I wasn't told anything. The staff are really nice and the lady makes everything fresh. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I had 5 pupusas from there less than 15 mins ago. My wife ordered 1 chicharron (pork rinds) and 1 Loroco (green vegetable/flower). I ordered 2 frijol y queso (Bean and Cheese) and 1 queso. After eating we realized they were soooo good we ordered 3 of the loroco and 1 of the chicharron. The loroco was by far my favorite and my life loved the chicharron. Now that doesn't mean the frijol and queso ones weren't good we just really enjoyed the other ones more. All the salsas and the cabbage you put on top are just amazing and filled with flavor. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on whenever we are craving pupusas. We'll also might try their tortas and tacos because they looked good too

Great place to get Central American food. They specialize in El Salvadorian and Nicaraguan food. I am a Nicaraguan and loved the fried cheese, gallo pinto, and pork plate. It tasted just like my grandmothers cooking. The pupusas were great too, can't wait to go back and try the Nacatamales on the weekend. If you want to try something different to drink try the Salvadorian horchata. It taste like a combination of horchata and chocolate milk.

Saw this place as we were driving by and we decided to check it out .... Lo and behold, Today was their opening day!! Everything was very good! The friendly service, the delicious food, and the prices are very reasonable. If you're looking for authentic Salvadoran, Mexican, Nicaraguan, or Honduran food ... Highly recommend you try them out!!
