All I can say is wow. Hands down, one of the best meals I've had in a while. Everything made fresh and with love. All flavors shone with every bite. Ordered a bean/cheese pupusa, a pastelito special, and the Nahual parillada. Must try for yourselves.

I'm certainly no expert on Central American cuisine, but holy cow. This restaurant blew us away! The atmosphere was incredible, the service was top tier, and the food was absolutely out of this world. Could not recommend highly enough. Will be a frequent flyer here!

I write this review to encourage you to indulge yourself in this Nuevo Latino, Central American cuisine. The Revueltas Pupusas were perfect, soulful, and delicious: it was the perfect comfort dish. Complimented with mango juice or horchata and you have a meal and for a price that beats anything of this quality in town.

This is the best meal I’ve had out in a long time! I was craving a burrito but this came up on my search and thought I’d try Honduran. I’ve never had it before. What an amazing meal! I had the chicken pupusas and a beef enchilada with a fresh juice. The flavors were amazing. I love the hot sauce selection as well. Everything was fresh, the service was warm, the place is clean and bright. Level up your burrito craving and check this place out. So, so, so good.

I am glad I decided to stumble upon this place during Lancaster City Restaurant week! I saw they had a 15 deal on pupusa revuelta and fresh mango juice. Family owned and the atmosphere felt like home. Staff were easy to talk to and accomodating. They were very encouraging and allowed me to practice my broken spanish with them! The pupusas revueltas, and fresh mango juice were satisfying and refreshing. The orange sauce that was paired with the pupusas enhanced the flavoring and gave a kick of spice to it! The pickled cabbage and pickles reminded me of the pickled red onions Dominicans use for their signature, "tres golpes" breakfast! I wanted to try empanadas as well and got them with beef. They surely did not disappoint and will probably be my empanada place for now! The horchata juice, which is water soaked in white rice and cinnamon sticks, was a tasty sweet, but not too sweet drink that was equally refreshing and no dairy added! I highly recommend for the authentic South American cuisine and culture!! I'm definitely going to be a regular.

I stopped by for lunch today and had a great experience. The staff and our server were incredibly friendly. Our server was especially kind, she took the time to explain different dishes, shared her personal recommendations, and even helped us with the Spanish pronunciation of menu items! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious.
