Salvadoran & Mexican · International Avenue

Pupusas made by hand, ¡bravo!

Fresh, hand-made Salvadoran pupusas with curtido and homemade salsa, tacos, smothered burritos, plátanos and tres leches. A family restaurant on 17 Avenue SE that grew from a mother’s dream.

The star of the show

What’s a pupusa?

El Salvador’s national dish: a thick, hand-patted corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, beans, pork or vegetables and cooked on a hot griddle until golden. Ours come three to an order with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and homemade salsa, and every one is gluten-free.
