What customers say?

“ The food here is authentic and I found it to be fresh and well seasoned. We had pupusas and they were very good. Not too greasy like I have had at other places. The service was good and the food was served in little time. We also found the server to be very friendly and attentive. There was street parking right outside. It’s nothing fancy but the food is good. It’s a little on the expensive side I think for type of food/restaurant, but that’s understandable given recent increased costs. It was a nice dinner out and we had left overs for home. ”

“ I ABSOLUTELY loved this place! The enchiladas verde are amazing. Also we had the pupusas and were really good. The birria needs some more flavor but nothing they cannot fix. The drinks are so good as the price . Definitely will come back from Boston! ”

“ I was over the top excited about this place as my esposa LOVES a good papusa and I enjoy a solid crispy flaky chicken spot that is resemblance of a somebody’s southern grandmother’s fried chicken. Well one of us is please while the other is still on fence. The place makes the food when ordered - so it was hot when picked up. The chicken was crispy. Noticeably crispy. A pause and reflect on life crispy. The crisp that a is missing at popeyes and KFC. The crisp is an in the kitchen crisp that was absolutely welcome in this jungle of food places to eat. To put it plainly - the chicken was good. (The real test will be tomorrow- if it has that cold chicken goodness that a properly fried chicken has). Now to the papusa. It is not like my Suegra’s. Nor like the spot that use to be on Hancock that closed 4 years ago. Maybe comparable to the El Salvadorian place in Hartford Ct. Maybe. The esposa was not wowed more amazed by it. She enjoyed it but did not have that - family from New York come and try it. The place on Hancock was like that. The rice and beans needed another 5 minutes on the stove. Will I be back?? Yes. I am all about supporting local places - the hope next time some things will be better with other remaining the same. Where else can you get a papusa in Springfield?! ”
