I have seen this place in downtown Paterson for such a long time but never stepped foot inside to taste pupusas, a classic dish from El Salvador. 🇸🇻 It’s a very friendly place, with nice mural paintings, and a bar. They played music which gave the upbeat ambiance. I ordered two pupusas: pupusa de queso (with cheese) and pupusa revuelta (mixed with beans, cheese, and chicharrón (pork)). It was really fluffy and delicious. I also tried the tamal de elote which was basic but the cream was really good. (A bit salty but I thought it was a perfect compliment to the tamal). As a drink, I ordered sebada which looked and tasted like pepto bismol. 😂 The place was a good spot to try Salvadorian food for the first time. It made me excited to want to try more dishes at other spots. . . . #njeats #foodinnj #elsalvadorianfood #salvadorianfood...

Ordered pupusas to go and it took a while!More then the 20 min they told me, so I suggest to order with time if you can, it could get busy not many restaurants like this around As far as food goes pupusas were a bit Burnt But tasted good, good size and thick. Went back another time and ate inside I went for the carne asada and I was disappointed it’s fatty, thin and hard don’t recommend it, i went the third time and tried the beef soup and I liked it my friend tried chicken soup and also liked it, you get to choose to get the chicken on the side he said it was hard it’s supposed to be ( gallina) so I don’t know I googled Central American restaurants and I don’t think there’s many around only Peruvians So not many to choose from I’d still recommend this place over all servers are nice...

If you're craving authentic Salvadoran cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic meal. The pupusas are the star of the show—crispy on the outside, stuffed with delicious fillings like cheese, beans, and pork, and served with tangy curtido and salsa. The sopa de res (beef soup) is hearty and comforting, with tender meat and rich flavors that make you feel right at home. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care. The service is friendly, and the flavors are spot-on, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a taste of...
