    Delicious Salvadoran food in South OC. They serve a variety of different pupusas as well as homemade chicken soup, tortillas and carne asada. The food is authentic tasting and delicious. They were very busy when we went and had to wait a very long time to get our food. Also the seating is crammed and not very accessible friendly for elderly customers using a walker. Other than that I highly recommend this restaurant.

    It's a small family restaurant, a neighborhood restaurant, but the food is really authentic Salvadorian food and the service super friendly. It can get really busy, so go there with time or ready to order to go if there are no tables. The setting is pretty simple with seating for maybe 20 people. My favorite dishes were the pupusas, the fried plantain and the Caldo de gallina. Servings are huge, so order moderately to share.

    The food here is absolutely delicious 😋 came here to have lunch with my mom for my birthday. The only thing I didn't like was that the food was a bit greasy for my taste, but overall it had great flavor. The price was decent and the customer service was great.

    The pupusas are huge! It is almost like they deep fry then in oil, there is too much excess oil on them for my personal liking but they tasted very very good. I originally planned to take away my meal, but ended up eat there. The food was packaged nicely and had everything you need (forks, knifes, napkins etc). The food overall was 3 stars but I'm giving an extra star for the friendly service and we'll packaged meal.

    We went here to satisfy a pupusa craving. The parking lot is tiny, and a nightmare. The restaurant is also small with minimal seating. However, the staff was wonderful and helpful with suggestions. Vegetarian pupusas available, as well as GF rice flour pupusas! We ordered a good variety of foods including different pupusas, the Chile Relleno, Yucca Frita (sin chicharron) and Platanos Fritos con Crema y Frijoles, Pastelitos de Pollo. Everything was delicious, with large portions. Going early before peak meal times is advised, and you can call in your order 30 min to an hour beforehand so you can pick up your food. The pupusas themselves are very filling, and 2 for lunch is perfect. They're a little light on the salsa if you get takeout. Overall, would definitely recommend.
