    Literally stopped by on a total whim for a quick bite before valentines dinner but DAMN!!! Super home made comfort salvadorean style cooking WONT be fast since it's fresh 😎 I wasn't planning to leave a review, so the complete food plate never had a chance to look pretty but look at that freshness! We got the 2 pupusa combo with rice and beans with a delicious agua de jamaica. All reasonably priced.

    Very authentic pupusas. Arrived super hot and fluffy. I got the chicken and the shrimp filled with loads of cheese, and Jamaica. Got side of salsa and coleslaw. It was a memorable meal.

    This is honestly my favorite place. I love their pupusas, always fresh and delicious, compared to other places, they hands down have the best!!! I always order to go and haven’t dined in but the service of picking up or calling in my orders are always pleasant and everyone’s that’s serviced me have been kind and professional. In my opinion best pupusas in SF, every single one. And I love their frijoles 10/10!

    I was waiting for a friend and decided to go in and get a drink. I ordered a cappuccino for $6 which was kind of pricey. When my order was ready I picked up my drink and it was very, very hot. In fact it was too hot to even hold! I had to wait almost 30 minutes before it cooled off enough to drink! I didn't get a warning when it was served to me which would have been the right thing for the staff to do. That said I probably will not go there again if they don't care for their customers enough to warn them about the drink being super hot and being aware to wait a bit before consuming it.
