Some of the best pupusas I've had in the GTA. So tasty, not too much dough. The sauce and hot sauces are perfect too! Just like El Salvador 🤤

Drove 45 mins to get pupusas and so worth it. Pregnancy craving satisfied and will definitely come again. $4 each and packed with fillings.

I think this is my new favourite spot in the city for pupusas. I got the queso y jalopeno & it was SO good! Perfect amount of filling. The coleslaw was tastey & the in house made salsa was always a highlight for me. Prices are fair Service was friendly

We asked for a Yuca con chicharrones and was a little disappointed with the portion, but it was tasty. The sopa de pata was o.k. There was a strong taste of clavo de olor and killed the essence of the pata. The tacos were good, nice season. The only thing is that I missed the onion and cilantro... to have a Mexican flag outside, I was expecting much more. The service was good and the atmosphere was friendly 👌

★★★

Food is really good for being Salvadorean/Mexican food in Canada. But the service is rude and slow. And tables of old drunk men yelling out sexual comments about the waitress bodies. So not a nice place to go unless you’re drunk. I only Uber eats them 👍

Great food and good service. Place needs to be updated, but the great food makes up for it. If you want good Salvadoran food, you must come here. The pupusas are amazing.

I ordered cow feet soup, some of the vegetables in the soup were still raw. The tortillas seem like there weren't fully cooked. I asked for large soup bowl, was given a small soup bowl but was charged bowl large. Out of respect for the cook I didn't complain, but out of respect for future clientele I'll say it how it was.

Good food, good taste, place is clean and price is fare however it looks like administration changed again. Pupusas are now smaller than before. It used to be probably the best good deal compared with others in the GTA but now it is just an average. Ill go there only if I am around.

I have eaten here several times since when the Ecuadorian was managing the place and it was very good. Now that the Salvadoran lady is there everything is even more delicious, they have natural waters from Jamaica, Tamarindo and Salvadoran Horchata. The attention of the girls is very friendly, it is true that there are sometimes impertinent people who bother the service, but the girls try to keep everything in order like a decent restaurant. Personally, I recommend it because there is also quite a variety of dishes such as shrimp, tacos, pupusas, snacks, meats and desserts. I leave you photos of my last meals there.

If you are looking for authentic Salvadorean food/drinks ask in advance. We ordered horchata they served Mexican? Horchata which was tasteless...sugar water with milk. We let the waitress know thats no Salvadorean. Instead of offering a different drink we had to pay for this drink. Disappointed the management did not make this change. The cheese with loroco pupusas are delicious, the mix pupusas are not bad. Atmosphere is ok, but get a different mix CD for a change.

Food is not authentically from El Salvador, waitresses and owners from Mexico and other parts of the world. Rude waitresses and drunks coming in/out of the establishment.

Small little salvadorian restaurant in weaton and finch area. Ordered pupusas they were decent. Would come again if I am around the area. Clean restaurant

December 22, 2023

We ordered Sopa de Res and Horchata and it was horrible. This is NOT Salvadorian cuisine. We got an oily soup with Mexican tortillas instead of Salvadorian tortillas. The Horchata was water and sugar mixed with milk. The containers that they provided leaked and went through the bag. Poor presentation and not worth the money. Everything is cheaply made. Never again.

The pupusas are delicious, and the yuca and chicharron are great. But they can improve on their customer service.

December 22, 2022

Change my opinion: The other day I went and they served me reluctantly, as if they didnt want to sell and when my order was finally placed and I ate the dough and the beans tasted stale and they didnt even have cheese...

There was a lot of drinks on the menu and it turns out that they didnt sell them anymore but they still had them on the menu... I kept asking for more things and they kept telling me I dont sell them or there arent any...

This place, is just not great at communicating. They have kids running around all the time and adults drinking beer out in the open, in the MIDDLE of a pandemic. They are very slow in serving and leave money open in the sink. I witness the lady give me my change and the was her hand without using soap. I just dont agree of this place at all

This place has very good food but inside there its literally a cantina. Too many drunks so you cant go with a girlfriend or the wife, unless you are a calm person and is ready to put up with nonsense. One thing that hissed me off here is that I ordered pupusas on the phone. The total amount was $17 dollars. I went there and gave the cashier a $20 and she helped herself in keeping my $3 change. Thats unacceptable, I ordered the food to go, I should NOT have to give tip. These greedy waitresses there will keep your change so make sure you give them exact change or pay with debit.

Pupusas were good. Tried the cheese and the pork and cheese ones (mixtas). Prices for each pupusa was good. However, the sauce for the pupusas was NOT original. It was literally tomato sauce from a can! I have eaten many pupusas from different authentic Salvadorean places and their sauce for the pupusas was very good and NOT from a can like this one.

At first when I walked in I felt a bit very intimidating because theres nothing but Spanish speaking people and everyone was dancing. It felt more like your grandmothers living room instead of a restaurant. It was very much like low key down-to-earth spot. The food was delicious and unlimited coleslaw is a plus as other restaurants charge for that

Could it be that many of the reviews here have been posted by friends and family? The pupusas are OK but Ive had better in Toronto, and the rest of the food is unremarkable, especially for a main course at $15. Not sure if the server was overwhelmed but she wasnt exactly friendly to us (native speakers of Spanish, mind you). More annoying was that on a Saturday at 6pm, the place was already packed with boisterous men drinking beer and talking, shall we call it, mens talk, shouting over the music cranked up to the max. In a way thats authentic but its not a place where youd want to take your girlfriend or the family.
