The Pupusas here are soooo THICK & full of cheese, beans or chicharrón. Delicious! Service was a little slow but after receiving my order I could tell they take pride in their food. They had a DJ playing getting ready for the night club I think it turns into.

Placed an order on a Friday night so I knew to expect a long wait. I placed a phone order (they had live music so it was very hard to hear on both sides of phone). Ordered pupusas revueltas, queso con loroco, and calabaza con queso. I also ordered yucca. The pupusas were $3 each and they were able to accommodate my request of jalapeño. The pupusas are great, the service was great, and the prices were very reasonable in relation to portion size. The salsa was lacking something, maybe it was late and last of batch? Unsure but I will definitely come back and try everything again.

Have been to this place plenty of times, the food is delicious and the service was great I went in on a not so busy day if I recall a Thursday. I would give it a 4 stars only because they always mess up my order, other than that place is good!

I heard their dance parties are awesome but I have only had their food. Everything was delicious and service was great. Will return when back in the area.

First of all, I am super happy that I gave this place a chance through Grub-hub! I usually Order Pupusas pick up at Carrusel Bakery and Let me tell you That that recently they have not been on Point ! It is too hot to cook, so I decided to try this awesome place! Their Pupusas are easily, the best that I have tried in the valley ! they arrived hot fresh with an amazing cheese pull !!! I had to call the restaurant because the option for jalapeño and cheese was not available on Grubhub. I spoke with Rosy , she was super nice and accommodating , she told me just choose queso and Loroco pupusas and Ill know you want Jalapeño and Cheese I I will literally be ordering more stuff from this place. Great quality excellent price great customer service 10 stars for this amazing restaurant. I hope to eat at their place soon and try their fried calamari that looks delicious. I called them to let them know how amazing my experience was. I have yet to try my corn Tamal that I ordered. I'm sure it'll be delicious. Gracias a el Personal de Fonda Don Cuper un Establecimiento 5 estrellas , Calidad de comida muy amables ! Se los agradezco Mucho ! Chefs Kiss

This place has changed names a couple of times. It is now a salvadorian restaurant, I hope this one lasts because I really like their food, this is my go to place for chicken soup, the service is always attentive and the owners are friendly and welcoming. We've come here a few times and we always leave satisfied, their pupusas and breakfasts are really good too. The inside is not luxurious but is well kept and clean. The parking is very limited so if you find parking on the street, go for it.

First off WOW !! I've been going to so many places looking for some REALLY good popusas . And this place BLEW me away!!! The minute I was served. The popusas were not oily and greasy at all! They looked perfect !!! But the minute I took a bite wow there's no words to explain how absolutely delicious these popusas were ! The first bite took me back to when my best friends mom would make them and it felt like home. It felt like the moment when the Anton Ego from ratatouille took the first bite of the ratatouille and it took him back as a kid . This this was it for me . I will never go to another location looking for popusas!

Love the new location. It's spacious and you are still getting good customer service. The pupusas are not greasy and the food entrees that we tried were spot on tasty. We had aside from the pupusas, the pollo asado and family sampler. And the drinks are legit- the perfect amount of sweetness.
