“ This restaurant was recommended by a local, and will not disappoint. The food was made fresh to order, was authentic, and some of the best pupusas we ever had. Our favorite were the ones with cheese and spinach inside. If you ever come to Bakersfield, make sure to put this on your restaurant list to check out! ”
“ The place is very small. The food was really good a little greasy ”
“ This place is slept on, all the food I've had here has been delicious. I love the plaintains and the black beans especially. Servers are very accommodating and speak both English and Spanish. The horchata mexicana is great. I usually get the huevos con vegetales y ejotes (eggs with vegetables and green beans) and it is always amazing. I have enjoyed the pupusas and fajitas as well. The only issue is that recently there has been a bit of a sewage smell when we have walked in. I believe that the issue is due to old pipes because the bathrooms work fine. On our first few visits, this wasn't a problem so it seems to be a recent issue. You get used to the smell. ”
“ Restaurant looked less than half full & they still took about 23 minutes the 3 of us our food. Pupusas I ordered tasted great but won't dare go on a busy time. ”
“ My wife and I had our first visit here. The service was a great, and the food was amazing. I believe our waitress was Marisol, she did a fantastic job. We will be returning here for the good food. Muchas gracias. ”
