| - TIP: Park at the Walmart...across the street. Otherwise there is limited street parking here and keep in mind there is a bus stop that runs right beside this place, so that even further limits the parking.
A solid 3.5-4*, DEFINITELY better than another pupuseria in Kitchener that I went to recently.
Pretty authentic, as I did not see a single gringo here. All the patrons seem to be Spanish-speaking. The waitress' English was a bit rough, so that gives me an indication of authenticity.
Tamales are PRETTY BIG. I wasn't that hungry, so initially, I was gonna share a chicken tamale. However, the waitress said it was small-medium and indicated more on the small-side with her hands. It was MORE than enough alone...as a complete meal imho! I found the tamales more on the "wet" side. Cheese was salty. I think I still prefer Mexican tamales, but these were pretty good.
***I must mention though that they arrived lukewarm. Definitely not hot, so they needed to be nuked more!***
Pupusas are probably the star here. If you're just a bit hungry, these are the perfect snack. I think I just got a bit too stuffed from the tamale to actually enjoy their pupusas. Splitting 2 pupusas + 1 tamale was a bit much for me. So I'd make sure I was pretty hungry before coming here again.
Don't expect a balanced meal here though. It's pretty carby, albeit cheap, so keep that in mind!
