“ Los caldos muy ricos, solo las pupusas deben mejorar muy pequeñas y no están tan buenas ”
“ The best pupusas in Denver area! I have tried other items in the menu and they are just as great. Great service. I usually do take out and the order is always ready when I arrive. ”
“ I had never had Salvadorian food before. I was pleasantly impressed. First, we ordered the special nachos with ground beef and were blown away. Honestly, I do not expect to be blown away by nachos, but these were really good. I also ordered the bean/cheese and Zucchini/Cheese Pupusas, they were delicious. $1.75 each is darn good price too. My meal was less than 10 bucks. The issue was the confusion with what to do when you walk in and how long it takes to be served. If you are not in a hurry, then I highly recommend this establishment. ”
