I've been to El Salvador, I think this place does pupusas even better! Friendly authentic Salvadoran food. I love the horchata too and the empanada was great! I was really impressed and glad I found this excellent place on a whim while stuck in Oakland for a few hours.

Wow wow wow!! You must go! All the pupusas are incredibly fresh and tasty. My favorite is beans and jalapeños. They come with great salsas and curtido. Great vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. (Beans are vegan, no lard. And pupusas can be made without cheese. Also their white rice is vegan). Nice service and ample seating.

3$ per pupusa(made as you order them) , free sauce and cabbage slaw toppings, really good deal considering how good they taste.

Went there and placed an order for 30 pupusas. I asked the owner if it would have been better for me to have called the order in because it might take awhile. He told me that it was better to order them and get them fresh. So I sat down and waited and watched the women do their thing. They were like machines. And I mean that as a compliment. In less than 15 minutes, all 30 were done, piping hot. The owner even helped me load up the car. Took them straight to a potluck and everyone loved them. Kids, teens and adults. Will be going back frequently. Asked the owner how long they've been in business. He told me only 9 months. Here's to making sure that they're around for a lot longer.

This place does take a long time to get orders out, but, in my opinion, the wait if worth it. I absolutely love their food. I’ve been coming here for a year a couple of times per week and the food never disappoints.

These are the best Pupusas for miles. They are crispy, wholesome and packed with stuffing. I have to get their Salvadorian Tamale as well. It is different from the Mexican variety as in the masa is really smooth, not grainy. Also these are cooked in a banana leaf. It's worth the trip, even though parking in the lot outside can be a bit problematic.

Delicious food, not to mention authentic! The restaurant is quite big and has plenty of seating. They have so many options for pupusas and their other dishes look amazing. The pupusas are freshly made and super flavorful. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu.

Delicious pupusas, and they were huge and so full of cheese! I'm used to them being smaller, so it was a pleasant surprise. My favorite was the Jalapeño and queso, it packs some heat. Super friendly staff too!

Delicious and hand made. I love the shrimp and spinach. They can take an outrageous amount of time, I’ve had orders take 40 minutes more than once. Go if you have nowhere to be.

This would have been a five star review, but they were so slow. The pupusas themselves were amazing, but it took forever to get them.

Went there and gave us raw food (pupusas), and got ALL of our orders wrong. Says it’s a Salvadoran restaurant but feels like it’s more Mexican (no hate to Mexican restaurants but it was supposed to be a Salvadoran restaurant.) Besides this, the zone is extremely dangerous, we saw a guy walking around with two guns (not police.) Definitely do not recommend going.

Please check your receipt or ask for an itemized receipt because they charge me 5 dollars per Pupusa when on their DoorDash the bean and cheese are 3.75. So not sure why I paid over $50 for 10 Pupusas when I order on the phone to go.

These are not salvadorean pupusas. It is a Mexican restaurant and should said so. The pictures of fried plantain was nothing we got. So price! For terrible food. Never going there again.
