  Excellent, fresh food and a bargain price!. I noticed the restaurant in late 2013/early 2014 while visiting another restaurant in the same shopping center. Arriving for a late lunch (2p), the dining room was still reasonably busy. After we were seated, we reviewed the menu and decided on 2 pupusas each and chicharones. I ordered (2) Revueltas (pork, beans and cheese) and a side of chicharones while my co-worker ordered (1) pupusa with pork and beans, (1) pupusa with pork and cheese and the entree of chicharones. The food took approximately 10 minutes to arrive which was to be expected since pupusas are best when served fresh from the grill. Accompanying the pupusas were a large bowl of cole slaw and salsa. The pupusas were piping hot and fresh – very flavorful and filling!! The chicharone side-order had a similar number of pork pieces to the entree but without a mound of coleslaw and yucca. The chicharones were fried a bit too hard for my tastes and they were best eaten by hand since the plastic utensils were no match for the hard-fried crust. The entire meal which was more than adequate for lunch was $20 including tip!! Next time we visit, we’ll order FEWER items so we aren’t stuffed when we leave.On a side note – The majority of the patrons other than myself and my co-worker appeared to be Hispanic – always a good sign when visiting an ethnic restaurant since it’s likely that if the food is authentic (and good), that it will have a following of customers from that ethnicity. This certainly proved to be the case with this restaurant – we’ll be back!!
