Delicious Pupusas, but Mind the Sun!
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, centered around the delicious food and super nice staff. The portions were generous, and ordering was a breeze. While the pupusas were a bit pricey, the amount of ingredients stuffed inside made them worth it. They also provided a HUGE red sauce and curtido, which was a welcome change from the usual small portions. The only drawback was the intense direct sunlight during sunset, making the restaurant very warm. I'd recommend visiting midday or after sunset for a more comfortable dine-in experience. Welcome to the sunset!

Best Pupusa Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely incredible, especially when it came to the pupusas. I can honestly say I had the best pupusa of my life outside of one spot in El Salvador. They were perfection! The dough was plush, and the bean and cheese filling was generous. The cheese had a delicate tang that perfectly cut through the beans. The curtido was also my favorite I've ever had; I imagine they make it in-house. I was mind-blown by the beautiful pickled purple cabbage. I highly recommend getting the pupusa plate with black beans and Spanish rice. I loved the habanero hot sauce for my rice and beans and adored the chipotle on my pupusa. It was unreal, and I need to come back ASAP.

Juicy Pastor & Rich Quesabirria
My experience at the restaurant was centered around their pastor tacos and quesabirria. The pastor meat was noted as being nice and juicy. For the quesabirria, the cheese was great and the accompanying soup was very rich. Overall, it was a solid experience, rated an 8!

Disappointing Mexican Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the food. The fries were frozen, and the asada was made with ground beef. Given these issues, I believe you can find a better Mexican restaurant elsewhere.

Solid El Salvadorian Spot with Great Yucca Fries
This is a really solid local spot specializing in El Salvadorian food and tacos. The atmosphere is very casual and a good choice for any time of the day. You order at the counter and they will serve you if you choose to eat there. We were really impressed with the yucca fries. They were very delicious and satiated our yuca frita craving from when we went to Costa Rica recently. I had the al pastor and fish tacos, which I thought were okay. I enjoyed the fish taco the most. I must try the pupusas next time; I bet they are fire.

Great Food and Service in the Neighborhood
I'm so glad this restaurant opened in our neighborhood! The food was good, and the service was great. I thoroughly enjoyed my huge vegetarian burrito, which came with delicious pickled vegetables. My kiddo loved the chicken tacos. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet and easy to talk in.

Delicious Tacos, Friendly Staff!
I live around the corner and have been here for super tacos two days in a row, and they were absolutely delicious. The pork was especially a knockout. The food was fresh and immaculately clean, and the staff were happy and friendly. We are so lucky to have this restaurant here in the inner Sunset close to UCSF.
