    This is a new restaurant in Pearland. My family and I are big fans of pupusas. This place makes them well. They have the coleslaw, salsa and plenty of cheese. The flavors are amazing. We want to try them all! The staff is friendly and smiling. The service was slow on this visit for us. We arrived to a decently populated dining room, but everyone was already eating. We ordered and during our wait two other families arrived; 10-15 after we ordered. Both tables got plates before we did. All told it took around 40min for our food. We ordered 5 pupusa, 1 taco and a cheeseburger. I'm not mad just curious as to what took so long. Ok, enough of that. I'm a big eater so I was still a little hungry after 2 pupusas(now I know not a biggie), but the prices were awesome! No really a family of 4 with a good tip $40. I definitely recommend giving them a try before they get recognized and are too busy to get into.

    The plátanos fritos with black beans and sour cream were amazing. The Pupusas Revueltas (pork and cheese) were so delicious. The Mariscada (seafood soup) was also delicious. This place makes the food fresh so expect a bit of a wait... It is definitely worth it. A+++

    I first noticed this restaurant when it was at another location, and always wondered what "pupusas" were. Let me tell you something, RUN! don't walk to this place! Papusas are a magical combination of puffy tortilla, meat, and cheese (and possibly other things) that are served with a cabbage type coleslaw and a tangy hot sauce that pair perfectly together. They are a fully authentic Salvadorian restaurant. They are now thankfully at a bigger - and nicer - location, which is conveniently near the intersection of 35 and 518 across from Texas First Bank. They are all kind, and they can COOK! I absolutely fell in love with this place, and their prices are incredible to boot.
