People talk
Our Guestbook
“ I usually go there whenever I want pupusas, pastelitos and now and then some atol de elote. The pupusas are excellent and the atol de elote is a little Americanized but still sweet and delicious. The prices have gone up a little like everywhere but still affordable. Parking is ample and free. ”
“ This was my first time ever trying Salvadoran food and it was absolutely amazing. Visiting my cousin in Houston he suggested this place. I feel sorry for the next restaurant I go to because they set the bar very high. Karla was our waitress and she was very patient, prompt, polite. She explained EVERYTHING on the menu in full detail including what paired well with what. My next visit to Houston, this place will be my first stop! ”
“ Went a couple of weeks after they opened their new location and it is just as good if not better! Love the breakfast plates and the caldo de res. The pastelitos and of course the pupusas are also very good. Best place in the area! ”
