Although I don't have any basis for comparison in regards to authenticity, I really like the cheese & loroco pupusas here.

I miss having plenty of Salvie places in Socal, not so much in Central Cali. the pupusas were very flavorful and the staff very nice. I will go back their pupusas are $5.25 a piece.

Ok their pupusas are pretty good. I got the revuelta and a cheese with mushrooms, and surprisingly, the cheese and mushrooms were my favorite. The cheesy has a nice cheese pull to it, and the mushrooms were cooked nice. The revuelta was ok. I found the filling to be ok. However, the curtido added on top with the salsa was good, and the guy gave us some hot sauce. It's a win for me lol The pupusas are a good size, about the size of palm. The horchata was a miss to me. I think it was Salvadoreña Horchata because it didn't taste anything like the horchata I'm used to. It had a chocomil taste to it. So, caution in it. The place was nice. Plenty of seating and they have a drive through so that's cool. I'd come back again but sticking with cheese flavored pupusas and water :)

Walked in and the staff was very friendly. The food was good and it was brought out quickly. Definitely coming again. I tried the revuelta & bean/cheese pupusas 10/10. The curtido was good as well.

This place is large Inside! Large on friendliness and seating! I was warmly greeted, and decided to dine in. Ice cold water to quench this heat wave we are having, was greatly appreciated. I watched the fútbol, while browsing the menu. With 3 screens, almost anywhere is a good seat. Browsing the menu, pupusa's are the show stopper, but I was craving a torta. The house recommended to start with a bean and cheese pupusa. And then went back and gathered salsa and curtido, seasoned cabbage. The pairing was delightful, and really could make a meal out of one pupusa easily. That is not ketchup in the bottle, but a very well blended tomato salsa, that was refreshing. As a glutton for punishment, I really should of taken the torta home... So beautiful on the plate, I could not bear to leave it to get cold. I am happy I strived on, the asada was cohpped and melted together in cheese, fresh beans and even fresher lettuce, onions and tomatoes accompanied. The steak fries were huge, but perfectly cooked. I actually ended up dipping them in the provided house hot sauce. Mmm the light burn.... There is ample parking around the location, and even has a drive through, but I would recommend that for a pre order pickup. Treat yourself and your whole family, they will easily fit in this hidden gem.
