      Delicious food and they support delivery! Now that we are aging in place and not adequate time to cook--I search everywhere for excellent food to be brought to our front door

      Pretty good!
      I ordered the combination plate (D.) which is two pupusas with rice and beans. Pupusas were amazing! Rice and Beans are just okay. Beans were on the salty side and there was a burnt taste to them. I also ordered a horchata, which was good.

      Ordered to go and the food is made FRESH so it did take about 15-20 mins before I got the order. Please be aware that it does take sometime.

      It's very quite and calm inside. I went when they weren't very busy. I'd definitely come again.
      It was $17.

      Forgot to take pictures cause we dug in but this place is delicious and affordable. I got the pupusas revueltas, carne asada tacos, and platanos Fritos (aka platanos maduros). All of it was delicious and only cost $33 before tip. The service was great. It's not too big, kind of a hole in the wall type place. Will definitely be coming back here often. Happy I found this place (:

      ETA: went back again cause it's so good and took pictures to add to my review

      Excellent service and food! The zucchini pupusas are my favorite! Fresh and stuffed full of cheese and veggie! Made my heart and my tummy so happy! I wish they had ensalata someday perhaps!! Will be back again soon!

      The food is very tasty and the staff is friendly. They have dine in and take out options. They have their own parking as well. Cute local spot that you should definitely try. They make the BEST refried black beans I've ever had in my life!

      It's easy to pass but don't.
      I tried their pupusas a couple years ago, and wasn't impressed. I couldn't resist the craving anymore, so I reluctantly tried again and DAMN did they improve.

      We got pupusas revueltas (mixed), Jamaica, and tamarindo. Aguas frescas were a little sweet but flavor was there.

      The pupusas. My God. Their glorious combination of cheese, beans, and pork was stuffed to the max. Their salsa is smooth with a hint of spice and the curtido was decent.

      We'll definitely be coming back.

      This is the kind of place you go when you HAVE TONS OF PATIENCE AND LOTS OF TIME TO WASTE. My son and I came in here for dinner and it took about15 minutes for anyone to even come to our booth to give us a menu. It took another 15 to get our order taken. We wanted chips and salsa and drinks before our meal but they came out with our drinks about 15 minutes later. I get that it is homemade food but 45 min to even get chips and drinks was a little rough, honestly. We had lots to catch up on so we dealt with it but it was cold inside (I kept my down jacket on during the entire meal) and kind of loud in there too with someone in the booth behind us playing music loudly from their phone. There are also kind of odd decorations ...streamers and decorations from the Car movie...kinda felt like I was at a kids bday party. It was on the hour mark that we finally got our food.

      Anyway, on to the food. It was outstanding. It was delicious and plentiful and my son and I both really enjoyed what we had.

      I won't be in a rush to go back for the aforementioned reasons but maybe someday if I have some patience and time I will stop by.

      I love pupusas! This little hole in the wall has the best pupusas in the Olympia area. I usually get three different pupusas, pile them high with curtido, with a generous squirt of the mild red salsa and chase it with a nice cold beer (this is the way to eat pupusas!). The people who run the place are really nice and I always leave with a smile on my face.

      Pupusas are a lil pricy , the dough to filling ration is off it need more filing , the taste was okay but more filling would of probably made them tastier. (Las pupusas tienen más masa que relleno, sabían más o menos, más relleno les daría más sabor)
