Is a nice place, comfortable, very friendly, clean and very good attention... but hard to find a parking spot and a little pricey, but i think price is because everything now is going up

I went in 20 minutes before closing when you’d expect the worst service but actually I received the best service! After my terrible experience with Mi Casita on Vanowen and Kester, I came here as my last resort. My pupusas were filled with flavor and not dry at all, the sauce was great and the curtido could of been better it takes more refrigerated. They also sell charamuscas here and their horchata is the best. The ladies were extremely nice and I got my order in less than 15 minutes. I’m definitely coming back here!

This little hole in the wall makes THE BEST PUPUSAS and the family who operates the restaurant goes out of their way to accommodate your order. They were definitely gracious enough to serve us right before closing time, and even went further to make me a licquado/raspado when they were mostly out of fruit, and I think I ended up with a banana and guava, I'm not too sure I just know it was AMAZING. The pupusas were even better, HUGE, and DELICIOUS, which was what the entire group said. We tried all three varieties. I highly recommend this place, they are very friendly and attentive and as I said, the food is REALLY REALLY GOOD.
