I'm from Orange County, just moved out to Corona so I wanted to find a local pupusas location. I called in order which was great they answered and food was ready when I got there. But OMG it smelled like sewer in there!! It was very dark and only half of the place was in use so that tells u they don't get a lot of business. I don't know how anyone works with that smell they had a candle burning which I couldn't even smell that. I got a headache just picking up my order glad I got it to go. Now on to the food... Pupusas was delicious but not enough beans all we tasted was cheese n masa which was good. We ordered 8 of them and everyone agreed not enough beans so I can't tell u the...
