“ It does take a long time to get your food but the food is really good, service could be better but it's not horrible! ”
“ Looky hear all y'all fools that review this place bad. If you want an non greasy pupusa use your head and order with little cheese. This is what causes the good greasiness. If you want non brown plátanos, go somewhere else that doesn't know how to cook. If a plátano is white, it will be undercooked and will taste raw. Everything in this place is made from scratch to be as fresh as posible for the customer. Saying this means your food ain't gonna get out to you in a 5 min fast food restaurant style kitchen, So y'all just gonna have to wait. If y'all want Americanized El Salvadoran food, go some place else cause here, here you are gonna get some damn good authentic El Salvadoran food. These are people willingly sharing their delicious culture with us, so know your Spanish when you come here or at least try and they'll help you out. The waitresses are so wonderfully kind and willing to help out if you ask nicely. Thank you El Papaturros for giving me wonderful food every time I come home. ”
