SO good. Everything was delicious. I had the pork and cheese and then beans and cheese pupusa. The pickled cabbage is too good. And the fries were yummy. Very friendly service. Can't wait to come back.

I found this gem by accident. This place was so busy and the food was reasonably priced and delicious. I ordered the chicken and cheese pupusa & Chicken tamale I enjoyed it all & the texture and savoryness of tamale was much different than what I'm used to. Definitely representing El Salvador in a big way. Highly recommend

Very pleasantly surprised of the service, quality of the food , and overall the entire experience. Got 2 pupusas "mixtas" and 2 pupusas (rice flour) mixtas, the cabbage (curtido) was so crunchy and fire , they give you 2 tomato sauces with one being spicy, definitely have to say the spicy is the best. Overall great place to come and have a quick bite!! The horchata is also fire

Consistency is what makes this place great. Food, service, everything. As a Salvadorian who just moved from LA, this is as authentic as it gets. Not sure why a lot of Salvi places out here in Chicago don’t offer pupusas de harina de arroz but this place does and they’re AMAZING. Love this place, my new go to.

Food is good, pupusas fresh and tasty, yuca frita was missing the garlic sauce, other than that was ok. Make sure don't come in a rush because the service take long. But food was tasty.

We stopped in for a quick lunch because my wife had to get to work, and it was close. Best decision we've made! It was busy, and that's because the food was good. The tamales were authentic and excellent! The sauces were also homemade and flavorful. I highly recommend it. It was that good. We'll be back!

Authentic dishes from El Salvador with some variations for different patrons. My favorite pupusa was cheese jalapeño.
