Great pupusas served in the nostalgic magnolia neighborhood. Highly recommend to all the pupusa lovers!

Restaurant was very clean, seats were distanced for safety precautions and the pupusas are the best around town. Very big and packed with ingredients. Definitely worth your money and it doesn't hurt your pocket.

Pupusas here are pretty good, you can get rice flour or corn. The red salsa here is of the watery kind and the cortido tastes ok. Prices are reasonable. The service is good, nice waitress. There is a good amount of seating inside and for the most part the restaurant was clean. If you are in the loop and don't want to drive far for Pupusas this is a good spot to go to for Pupusas.

I go here all the time. Love it. Careful, the pan con pollo is huge to be on the appetizer menu. But so good and the pupusas are fantastic. Love the jugo de marañón.

To Go Order- I ordered 5 Pupusas, they were very good. I'll go back for more but a bit of advice. If going, make sure you order in advance. Cooking time could take up to 30mins. Can't say anything about dining-in but I would assume it be the same or more.

Pork and cheese pupusas are on point! Feel very homemade and curtido (cabbage salad) is one of the best I’ve tried in town. Always call in order. Yes you may wait a bit but totally worth it!

Been here several times. Food takes a while to be served due to it being cooked fresh, which you should appreciate because it's good. Customer service can up it's game a little, which is why I deducted a star. Plus this last time the flies flying around was annoying .

I've been going to this place for years, even when they were at their old location. It's a great place for comfort food. Pupusas taste good. I really love their marañon. The pupusas do take a while to come out but it's definitely worth it. This is my go to pupusas place
