First time here. The staff was great and explained their food well. I (think) I got the Carne Asada, but the spicy version. It was good and has decent heat. I also got a pupusa with beans, rice, and cheese. If was hot, fresh, and good.
Overall, I would recommend this place.
If you go bring your appetite because it filling.
I will be back.

My wife and I were looking for a lunch spot, pulled into a familiar shopping plaza, and spotted a Salvadoran place we’d never tried. On a total whim, we walked in—and wow, were we blown away!
The pupusas were phenomenal: perfectly griddled with that crisp, golden edge and oozing cheese the moment you cut into them. Every bite was packed with flavor, tender pork, creamy beans, and just the right amount of seasoning. The sweet plantains were caramelized on the outside, silky on the inside, and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. The refried beans were rich, smoky, and clearly made from scratch—pure comfort on a plate.
To wash it all down, I had the passion fruit agua fresca. Ice-cold, perfectly tart-sweet, and so refreshing it practically glowed. Every sip was summer in a glass.
Everything was outstanding—fresh, authentic, and made with real care. We left stuffed, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you’re craving genuine Salvadoran food that hits every single note, this is the spot. Highly recommend! We’ll be back soon…and often.

Returned a second time and it was well worth it. The food is spot on. I really enjoyed the beef soup that was delightful! And our server was outstanding. Our food came out in a very good time. She returned several times to make sure everything was going well. Kudos to the food and service!

The sopa de gallina use to be better. Price went up throughout the years and the portions have gotten smaller. Plus they forgot my tortillas last time I went. I went again and got pupusas. The same story. It’s gotten more expensive and smaller. And then they forgot my salsa and curtido. I’ll just keep eating my lady’s pupusa.

I’ve been to this place twice before and had an average experience. The service isn’t great, but I decided to give it another try and placed a to-go order. I spoke with Carlos and ordered two pork and cheese pupusas along with a shrimp plate with rice and beans.
After picking up my order on my way home—which is over 45 minutes away—I realized that my pupusas were cheese-only. I called back to inform Carlos about the mistake, but instead of addressing the issue, he argued with me, insisting that my order was prepared correctly. Having been there before, I know exactly what the pork and cheese pupusas should look and taste like, and this was not it.
Carlos said he would check with the cooks, and if they confirmed they made it correctly, then there was nothing he could do. After putting me on hold, he came back and claimed the cooks said they had made it as ordered. That was simply untrue—I was looking at my food and eating it, and it was clearly incorrect.
Beyond the mistake, Carlos was extremely rude and dismissive. He claimed to be the manager but refused to let me speak with the owner, saying they weren’t available. This is a terrible way to run a business. I regularly spend over $50 per visit, but after this experience, they’ve lost a customer. Unacceptable.

I’m a fan of the Chimichurry and its the reason I’m obsessed with the other Cusca in San Pablo. Order the Azadito tipico and my wife ordered Steak and eggs. Did not disappoint food was delish, presentation was pristine , bathrooms where clean and that tells you about the restaurant alot. Staff was friendly and vibe was on point. I approve good Salvadorian food

Arrived around 1:45 pm. Food was served around 2:30 pm. Wait in my opinion was too long, but the food taste was worth the wait. There was 1 waiter whom is awesome and 1 cook who did an amazing job at kitchen. They could definitely use more help. Aside from that, I’m
Happy. I will be returning. Pupusas, chicken, plantains, beef, etc…are really good!!!
