"Got 2 chicken nachos, & they were very good, & a large portion. Also got a bean & cheese pupusa- the cabbage was amazing & the pupusa itself was delicious. And the chicken taco salad bowl was very good & filling. Everything was flavorful & very much worth every cent. Will definitely be ordering from here again "
"This is my “payday splurge” (not really because their prices are fantastic for downtown). My Colombian coworker was introduced to them today for lunch. I am die-hard Team Enchiladas, beans and rice. She got the queso pupusas. We both were deliciously full, and I have leftovers for tomorrow! As long as they’re in business, they have a customer for life. "
