I love the hospitality of this shop. They let me sample their chicken tamale and that was such a kind gesture while waiting for my pupusas. It was a good tamale too which strong masa flavor and on the softer/wetter side of the masa. I also ordered from their hot spread. Got their pork chop with yellow rice, didn't want stream veggies or plantain so I got pasta on the side with refried beans. Their refried beans are a bit different, a bit of a smoky flavor to it. I thought the lunch itself was ok, as the pork chops were a bit dry. The star of the show was definitely the pupusas. There are many flavors on the menu and I think it was top notch delicious. Ordered the mushroom with cheese, and pork and cheese and the fillings were more than most places. The texture of the cheese reminds me of cheese curds from Canada which has the squeaky feel to it. The mushroom flavors were balanced with the cheese. The pork and cheese flavor were balanced. Adding the pickle and sauce only enhanced it even more. There are many tables in the restaurant for you to enjoy your food. I staffs and owner are also very kind and friendly. Go here whenever you have pupusa craving.

This is a nice place to come and eat. I had come around 12:30pm and was hoping to get a breakfast sandwich as it was on the menu with no time frame for breakfast. Unfortunately they couldn't serve breakfast as it was the afternoon. I got the alfredo fettuccine with chicken. The alfredo was so bland and milky but the pasta was cooked well and the chicken was flavorful. My party also ordered some pupusas which is their specialty. If you come here i would recommend it. I also got an horchata but it wasnt to my liking. It tasted very sweet and grainy. The servixe was quick and she was nice to explain what they had available. The place was half full but not loud. They were getting lots of to-go orders so they were pretty busy.

Great food with incredibly kind staff! Popped in here with a friend because I was hungry, and we ordered entirely based off the server's recommendations. Delicious!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu

Very close to rating this place a 5 but the chicken was a major let down to justify that rating . The baked chicken had no flavor beneath the surface and tasted very under seasoned . I couldn't stomach it . I ended up replacing it with some frozen chicken from my freezer . Everything else on my plate , from the cheese papusas to the yellow rice and beans and fried plantains were excellent ! I even sampled their beef when I ordered and it was excellent ! On a second occasion , I got their meatloaf . I'm certainly no fan of meatloaf , but I can be fair and tell you all that it didn't taste bad but just simply was not my cup of tea . The restaurant has a very homey feel and service has been great on both occasions . If they can improve their chicken options including the quality of their chicken papusas , I'd rate it a 5 . As it stands , it's a weak 4 .

Love going here on my lunch break from work. He always has a good assortment of foods that really makes indecisive. Had the salmon last time and yummy like everything else. Only thing is I will be leaving my job soon and won't be there like I used to for lunch but hopefully pass by when I have a chance. Great food from this small restaurant everything taste good.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming- feels like you're eating a meal at your friends house! I went for the papusas as those seemed the most popular and it was amazing, especially paired with the crunchy slaw. I tried the pork and bean (which was my favorite) as well as the cheese and jalapeño. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

A small yet homey restaurant located few blocks away from Costco. Excellent service, affordable price, generous portion and mouthwatering food are what you can find here. We ordered the following, *Pork, Bean & Cheese Pupusa [$2.75]: 4/5. It came with a bowl of pickled cabbage slaw and tomato puree. It was my first time having pupusas and so I asked my server how to eat. Here is the instruction: Cut the pupusas in pieces or half, put the slaw on top of the pupusa and add some tomato puree on it and then you EAT. It was flavorful and cheesy and definitely a must try *Baked Chicken with Sweet Plantains and Rice [$10.95]: 4/5. Original combo is bean and rice but I asked for sweet plantains. That was probably the best sweet plantains I have ever had. It was sweet, a bit crunchiness outside but soft inside. Baked chicken was cooked well and they gave us generous amount of food The owner is super NICE!! He gave us complimentary Horchata and vegetable.

Came here for lunch. The staffs are friendly. The restaurant looks clean. It's a few blocks away from Costco. As soon as you step up to the counter, the staffs tells you the specials of the day. You have a choice of fish, beef stew, baked chicken, white rice or yellow rice, smash beans or lentil beans, and potatoes. There are others items on the menu. We ordered baked chicken with rices n beans, chicken cheese pupusa, and pork n bean pupusa. The chicken looks dry but it was very moist inside. The meat falls of the bone. The chicken cheese pupusa has a nice little spicy to it which makes it every flavorful.
