The food tastes traditional & is comparable to what I grew up with. The clientele is very Latin so its reassuring. The pupusas were very good & evenly stuffed.

Had the enchiladas, pupusas, & horchata (nutty cinnamon drink). Everything was delicious. The enchiladas were a perfect mix of flavours & textures, highly recommend.

Food & price are good. Service can be quite poor as they definitely often forget stuff & are pretty unorganized. I would suggest setting defined responsibilities for the service staff.
