Stopped for dinner in Bakersfield on our way to San Jose. We enjoyed some pupusas - shrimp for hubby & loroco (squash flower) for me. The chicken tamal was very fluffy and had more of a spongy texture. The plantain empanadas were very rich and creamy. Muy excelente!

Absolutely best cheese pupusas I ever had! No reheated, frozen stuff.. freshly made! There is indoor eating and I got my car washed while eating my meal. Great service, definitely a hidden gem here in Bakersfield. Would definitely recommend!

First of all I want to start by how spotless this place was especially the restroom (that’s a big one for me) continue with their pupusas. They’re the Best authentic pupusas tamales pisques & horchata I’ve ever had. Highly recommend & to top it off Prices are affordable and service is great sucks I live 7+ hours away but this place will definitely be my stopping point next time

Lately the food is not so good... we ordered 2 breakfasts to eat there and it came out to almost 40 Dollars. The things are more expensive than other Salvadoran restaurants. The wedding they give is horrible, I dont like it.I like that they do it just for the sake of doing it 😒
