J'avais déjà mangé des pupusas à d'autres endroits & je ne peux pas dire que c'était mon plat favori. Mais ici !? Wow !! J'en ai mangé cet après-midi & j'en mangerais encore !! Les prix sont vraiment très bien & je vais devoir goûter d'autres plats car tout avait l'air très bon. Les gens sur place sont vraiment gentils & quelle que soit l'heure, il y a toujours des gens attablés qui mangent avec appétit. Il ne manque que le permis pour vendre du vin ou pouvoir l'apportez nous-mêmes !!

I've been wanting to try Salvadoran food for a while now & I can confidently say I've found what will be my spot from now on. The portions were very generous & all the food was delicious. I got the Pupusa with Chicharrón, maracuyá juice & the Tepeyac plate with chicken. It was very savoury & they bring you some sauces & coleslaw you can add, although I found those extra sauces to be a bit bland. The staff is also very friendly & the service was quick. All in all recommend & will be coming back.

The food was delicious. We chose the combo for 4, plenty of food for 5 (10 pupusas, 1 yuca with chicharrón, 1 platanito with cream & a pitcher). The horchata & the tamarindo were great. The staff are very friendly. We will come back.
