Delicious pupusas, chicken tamales in banana leaf, and great tasting cured Cole slaw (curtido). Less costs compared to nearby cafes.

Best pupusas in Houston...period. The aesthetic of the place is very homey and welcoming. Takes you to your childhood when your Salvadorian mom would make food on Sundays. Don’t skip out on their aguas frescas either.

Yummy! This place is fast n very delicious pupusas. By the way the only have breakfast and pupusas and some antojitos. Don’t expect a full Salvadorian Menu. Pupusas are very very good I highly recommend it. I try the chicharon con queso need to come back and try other ones.

Food is amazing. But the prices are even better. Also, people are very welcoming and place is super clean. Restrooms are always clean, I know a lot of people probably don’t see that important but I have kids and it makes me uncomfortable to see dirty restrooms. So I give this place a 5 stars because of, the amazing PRICES, food is GREAT and the whole restaurant is CLEAN.
