| - Recently took a trip here with some friends and I have to say, this place definitely lived up to the hype! I had high expectations going in, based on the good reviews and mouth-watering photos people have uploaded of the food, and I was not disappointed!
As you can probably tell, the place is small and somewhat low key, nestled in a back corner of a shopping center and not quite visible from the road. The decor is basic but authentic, and while you definitely get the hole-in-the-wall vibe, it's not at all in a negative sense. The place is clean well kept, but it's also bare bones and very much down to earth, with very few frills. One clearly comes here for the food and not much else, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that!
As for the food itself, we sampled a wide variety on our visit and everything was fantastic. We started out with the appetizer sampler and from the tamale to the yucca to the bits of pork and the pupusas, all of it was absolutely delicious. For entrees, I tried the tres pupusas combo, while my fellow diners went with the beef tongue and the fried tilapia. The pupusas were beef, chicken and cheese, and all three were every bit as good as they looked, freshly made with lots of flavor. My friends rated the tongue and tilapia very highly, and several of them ended up taking food back home with them, which I always consider a good sign. As for me, I was unable to take anything home because I devoured the entire plate and had nothing left, it was just that good!
I will definitely be back to this place for another taste of those delicious pupusas!
