Friendly service, authentic food, clean place. Their pupusas aren't quite as good as La Carreta, but other menu items like soups, tacos, plantain & Meat dishes are better.

Je prends toujours les pupusas revueltas, c'est toujours bon. Bonne dimension & bon prix pour les pupusas. Le déjeuner est super bon, typique Amérique centrale : oeufs selon votre choix, haricots bruns, plantains, tortillas & crème sûre. Le jus de horchata toujours bon.
