  My friends are vegans and after a night of climbing we decided to check this place out around 9:30pm, 30mins before closing. People were still coming in around 10pm so it seemed like they welcomed any customers without turning anyone away due to their closing time.
  
  This is a nice little spot for pupusa which I've never tried before. It's under $4 per pupusa and they definitely fill you up! I had pork and chicken while my friends had bean pupusa which we all enjoyed. The pupusa by itself is a little bland so you'll need hot sauce. I was stuffed after this meal so it's well worth the $12. Also your table gets free slaw to eat with your pupusa. When we finished the first bowl the cashier noticed and brought us another fresh bowl. =)
  
  We came on a night that was about 35 degrees C outside and they didn't have the AC on. Maybe it was part of the El Salvador ambiance but it was pretty sweaty in there.
  
  All in all, great service, decent food, but way too hot.

  I came here at 12 lunch time.. They only take cash, but also have an ATM machine inside.
  The dinning place is big. I placed my order for take out and it took about 30min before I got it, but it was warm and fresh.. qnd still hot by the time I got home.
  
  The service is good and friendly. The pupusas are packed with cheese and pork (the ones i ordered). They are 3.35 each.
  
  The jarritos are 3.11 each.
  
  I have been to many pupusa places and found the stuffijg amazing and packed.. good quality and size for the price. Compared to other places where they are skinny and empty.. but i truly enjoyed this place. i high reccomend. :)

  I have to say first off, i'm not a regular pupusa connoisseur.  All i know is that it's kinda like a pancake (made with corn flour), and could be stuffed with a variety of ingredients including beans, cheese, pork rinds and some various combinations of the above mentioned.  From looking at some pictures on Yelp, I saw that these were quite large compared to ones i've seen/eaten before.  So based on the recommendation of the lady behind the cash, who said people typically order 2-3, I ordered 2.  I think I could have done with 1.5....but I was alone, and I didn't want to waste food.  I ordered a zucchini and cheese, and a bean and cheese.  I didn't realize that it came with a big bowl of coleslaw (vinegar based).  It was a surprisingly yellow colour...not sure what made it yellow, but it was quite tasty.  I ate that massive bowl myself!  Back to the pupusas, it came with a bottle of something that was similar to a salsa with less punch.  I originally thought it was hot sauce.  I topped both my pupusas with a generous amount of that red sauce, sprinkled on some hot pepper sauce (each table had a bottle of it), and of course a healthy serving of that tasty coleslaw.  It was super delicious.  For a relatively flat 'pancake' there was a lot of filling in each of the pupusas!  Will definitely be back if i'm ever in the area.  Where else can i get such a filling lunch for less than $10?!

  Literally had to travel out of my way to come eat pupusas here as it was one of the only pupusa places open on NYE. The travel was definitely worth it though! It's for sure a lot bigger than your average El Salvadorian restaurant, head a decent amount of seating, TV to watch, music to listen to and overall was clean and tidy.
  
  I don't eat meat so I got three pupusas with just frijoles and, wow, I really enjoyed it! Took around 20 mins to prepare as they are made fresh in-house upon ordering, but it was worth the wait (also had two friends with me so that most likely contributed to the wait time). Probably one of the best pupusas I've tasted in a while. They don't have a full bar but there are a couple of beers to chose from.
  
  I'll d be back!

  Pupusas are amazing. I wish we had gotten some of the tomato sauce but the coleslaw was great. The downside is I didn't get to try other items from the menu because they only accept cash. That just means I'll have to visit again.
