Placed an uber order and living in Markham the service cost was alot. Ordered pupusas and didn't get the salsa or the coleslaw. This isn't the first time. Pupusas aren't the same with out it. Very disappointing won't order here again.

There are not a lot of Salvadorian restaurants in Toronto so these small family run ones are really good and have a down to earth atmosphere. The Carne Asada platter was very generous and the cheese and zucchini papusa was on point.

We had the tacos and 2 different flavours of pupusas. The tacos were absolutely delicious! Very flavourful and fresh. I preferred the cheese and zucchini pupusa over the cheese, pork and beans one just because I could taste the corn breading along with the stuffing better. Don't get me wrong, the cheese and pork stuffing was very flavourful and yummy it was just a preference thing.

I tried this new place, and so far, I love it. Ordered Pupusas (cheese/pork & cheese/loroco), horchata & quesadilla. Pupusas are larger than the palms of your hand and have great seasoning. In the cheese/port pupusas, you can see the cheese and pork mixture. Cheese/loroco Pupusa can use a few more buds. Prefer the pork/cheese pupusa. Horchata is delicious and refreshing; if you take it out, there are about two more glasses than you may get sitting in. The real star is the quesadilla, so good, so moist. It tasted homemade. So delicious! Definitely going back for more.

First time of many visits to come. I was pleasantly surprised because I am picky and biased towards Jamaican foods. However, this food was flavourful, plenty and of very high quality 👌. The variety was amazing, and the service was great. The price was very reasonable, and I like it alot a lot a lot 😁. This is my new spot 👌 keep it up ladies . Thank you 😊

Went on a Saturday evening and place was packed. The lady who took my order advised me about the wait times. It took them about 25 mins to get my Beef Tacos ready and 4 pcs of their popular pork & cheese and Cheese & Zucchini Pupusas. The Pupusas came with cole slaw and salsa sauce. The service was great and lady was courteous. The Tacos were freshly done and the tortillas were fresh and delicious. I am more used to Mexican tacos so I believe the Salvadorians tacos are bit less seasoned and don’t come with the same toppings as the Mexican. But overall I enjoyed my food. Veg Pupusas were really good and you have to eat fresh or heat them up if doing a take out. Pork pupusas were bit greasy and also you dont feel the pork that much. My 5/5 review is basically the value and the type of food you get for the price. Also, the food was freshly prepared with home ingredients and I didn’t have any complaints with their service.

Came across this place through a random Google search. The beef tacos were my favorite, they are delicious with generous filling. Pupusa was yummy too just a bit oily. We used tons napkins to get rid of the oil. Price was super reasonable for the amount of food we received. 4 tacos for $10! Would definitely go back again!

Small, family-run restaurant with delicious El Salvadoran food. We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 1pm, and the place was packed with local patrons. I really enjoyed the plato mixto, with its flavourful rice, sweet plaintains, avocado, beans, greens, and protein from shrimps to a mussel. The chicken was a bit too salty, and the beef a bit dry and too tough. We got two pupusas - the cheese one, and the pork and cheese. The cheese one was a bit bland, and I enjoyed the pork and cheese pupusa more. Good coleslaw (to go on top of the papusas). Drinkwise, I got the Tamarindo, which was a delightful mix of sweet and sour. Very refreshing. The service was kind and lovely, if a bit forgetful because of the high volume of customers. We split each dish in half, so the bill was split in half, and each person paid around $24, tip and tax included - we were both full and satisfied. Would totally bring my family here to try such good food. Muchas gracias!
