"The first time we tried this place we got obsessed and came back the next day for more. We got take out both times. They are so quick to make the food and the quality is off the charts! The chorizo mini burrios and chorizo tacos are so, so good. I also highly reccomend the spinach and cheese pupusas! This has become our new favorite restaurant in Tacoma."

"Ever eat something and find yourself having an argument with yourself? Mine sounded like this, "Oh this tastes so Devine! Slow down and savor it! No mouth, I said slow down! See what you did? It's all gone now!" I ordered the Putaco with Carnitas. I had to ask what it was. It's a Pupusa they split to create two tacos, which are then filled with meat (pork/carnitas in this case). Trust me, try this. Melted cheese, meat, savory, and comes with a type of slaw on the side. Total strangers walked in and I couldn't resist: I told them they had to order it. We will see shortly if they chose wisely. However, this is my 2nd time here, and I enjoyed their pupusas last time, so I don't think you can go wrong here."

"It’s my first time in Tacoma, Wa but I can’t believe how stingy the portions are. The tortas and tacos are honestly filled with one scoop of meat. The popusas were the better of the other items but seriously, $3 per taco and it barely had any chorizo. I’ve been eating tacos for over 30 years and I wouldn’t serve that little filling to anyone. The salsas are good and the customer service is great! Just wished the tacos were more filling"

"Yummy El Salvadoran food! Quick service - I ordered to go and it was ready within 15 minutes. The steak burrito was well seasoned, I personally could've done with more veggies in there but that probably my Americana take on a burrito. The pork pupusa had a good cheese pull, delicious filling and hot. None of the salsas were spicy enough for me though. Great little spot - I'll definitely return!"
