“ My dad and I have been coming here for years, since I was a little girl. These are the best pupusas in Tampa, we drive 30 minutes just to eat here. My favorite is the Queso con loroco and the Horchata is amazing! This place is also a store, they have so many good foods in stock that you won't find at a normal latin market. This is a family business and you feel it when you walk in, they welcome you with open arms and talk to you like you are part of their family. This is such an amazing place and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to taste the best pupusas. ”

“ Love coming here, everyone is always friendly, food is awesome, my spot to re-up whenever I'm in Tampa ”
“ Best pupusas I've had in a long time. You can tell that these are hand made and it's a real pupusa. It is NOT two tortillas with queso in the middle and you get an oversized pupusa with too much tortilla. It is THE perfect amount of tortilla with the queso to the point that is spills out and creates this crunchy cooked cheese on the edges. The curtido that it's served with is just as good, a little spicy. The hot sauce is good, spicy but not too spicy. One order of the queso pupusa gets you 4 queso pupusas, a side of cortido and hot sauce for 10. Order extras to go, they reheat perfect in an air fryer! Besides the food it is also a small market for mainly imported Salvadorian food. Staff was friendly and polite. 5 stars all the way, can't wait to go back. Photo of my visit last week is uploaded. ”
