Great Salvadoran food, the pupusas are in the large range, so 2-3 is enough if you're used to what mom made Everything tasted like home, highly recommend.

This place has great pupusas, the size of the pupusas took us by surprise. Price is really good and the food tastes as authentic as it can be. Take it from me I am orginally from Central America. 100% recommended.
