I been looking for some good authentic latin food… gave this spot a try. The pupusas here are fresh and delicious! You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. I will be back for the breakfast plate (eggs not shown but were good) and pupusas. A little language barrier but everything was made as ordered and the take out service was good. VERY reasonable pricing as well. If you’ve never had a pupusa before, come here. Try the cheese and revuelta (pork and cheese)! Yum!
