Good little neighborhood spot. Got the fried fish and pupusas revueltas. Fish was great.. not too greasy and to go box was packed. Pupusas were delicious. But best part of this place are the bakery goods. Everything is delicious and very well priced

This place should be busier! That was the largest bean and cheese pupusa I've ever had, and it's got a great ratio of bean/cheese. Affordable take out is hard to find- this is it! Also their baked goods are very nice and well made.

I pre-ordered a Tres-leches cake for my son’s birthday and they did a great job! They had a big book of cake decoration options but we went with the simple white with strawberries on top. I ordered a few days in advance for pick up. Had no issues! While I was there, we tried some of their pupusas which they made fresh to order for us, (which I have never tried a pupusa in my life). The simple cheese one were my favorite and the traditional with greens was a unique and yummy flavor. Highly recommend stopping by for the papusas. My husband and kids loved the meat and cheese ones. While we waited for our order lots of folks were stopping in to pick up conchas and other treats from the pastry cabinet. I need to go back and try those! No seating inside. We waited outside on the planter bed for our order. Worth a trip !!!!

My review is closer to 4.5 stars, but that's not an option. Tried a couple different pupusas, a chicken tamale, and the tres leches cake. The pupusas were excellent, especially the fried round "pupusa bomb". Only issue is I prefer more of a vinegar flavor in curtido, though I don't know if that's authentic or what they're trying for. Tamale was similarly excellent, with a tasty red sauce and peppers added to the chicken filling. The tres leches cake was very good, with a mild strawberry flavor and very light and fluffy cake. Looking forward to going back and trying something else.
