The food is fresh and very good. The service was excellent.

Great lunch specials and also a great spot for casual dinner if you're looking for central American cuisine. Really friendly staff and management. Go for the pupusas or chicharrone or why not both?? Annoyed to see other reviewers criticizing this place for bad management or food poisoning -- not valid!

Review for pupusas only- 5 stars! I had the spinach and cheese ones and they were made fresh in front of my eyes- came with typical cabbage slaw and green and red sauce both good. A steal at $7. And I think this is a woman-owned business (at least there were a lot of women cooking and around!) would def order the pupusas again.

They have the best pupusas in New York City. I've been going there since 1995. You go there you won't regret it.

The pupusas are soooo amazing with the cabbage topping... I live in Staten island and I go all the way to Brooklyn just for this pupusas.. the corn tamales are good, wish they were a little bigger, but they still really tasty and filling

The atmosphere, the food, it's all great. Fried fish and plantains were simple and delicious.

Great place for regional Central American fare. Chicken Tamales we're great, but I come here for pupusas! The bean and chicharrón are amazing and the toppings are great. Ask for their jalapeno sauce for an added kick. Great prices and nice homey interior! Highly recommended!

Service is great and fast. Food is awesome and flavorful. Place is clean and has a good vibe. Great for families. Overall my experience was great can’t complain. If you are in the area and want some authentic Salvadorean food then try them out.

This is a homey type of restaurant, nothing fancy, just good food. I always order beef soup (sopa de res). The soup comes out piping hot with 2 fresh-made tortillas and white rice. The food is consistently good.

Papusas are super valid. Definitely a 5/5 for the papusas. The empanadas and the burger was OK. Would definitely come back and the waiters are very friendly.

I ordered pupusas and they were the best I had in Brooklyn. The best ones were the beans & cheese ones. They were moist inside with a bit of a crunch outside. It waited a little over 40 minutes in the restaurant, so l suggest ordering ahead of time.

I just stopped by for a quick bite. There's a lot of seating. Besides the seating at the front of the restaurant there's another room for more guests. The staff is friendly and pretty quick to respond. I had Papusas and an horchata. They food and drinks was okay but didn't particularly stick out.

If you want to eat good pupusas here's the place to come.. tasty flavorful and freshly made. The cabbage is good to. But I gave it 3 stars because the food is not what expected! Needs flavor and freshness to rice and salads.

I come here on the weekends sometimes for their breakfast as it's not far from home and for what I order I'm not disappointed. If you try one thing here make sure it's the pupusas as they are very delicious. Everything else in my opinion is not as tasty. The service is good, but some things are definitely not fresh and you can tell. I think it has great potential but just needs an extra push.

I ordered the beef stew with white rice and beans. The plate was mostly rice and beans and literally 3 pieces of beef. I do not like how little meat you get for $14. They are not serving the public properly.

Went for lunch with my kid today, ordered such a simple plate (grill chicken, rice and beans and French fries) and it was awful. The chicken was not fresh, looked like it was at the fridge for a long time. We couldn’t eat it, When told the waitress, She told me next time to let her know as soon as she brings it to the table (not going back ever) We just ate the French fries and For $28 I can get better French fries elsewhere.

The place looks beautiful and clean. I Ordered white rice with bean and chicken stew to go.The rice and beans were ok, but the chicken stew looked like chicken soup that I had to call Resturant to see if they gave me the wrong order and was told no that how the chicken stew looks. So all I ate was just rice and beans. Waste of $14
