Delicious, cheap, and friendly! Kind of a hole in the wall but by far the best hole the wall you'll ever find.

Have been here already 8 or 9 times. Food is authentic and so great for the value. It is real home cooked food at the price of fast food. My go to is always cheese and beans papusas.

This little restaurant has delicious Salvadorian food. They prepare a wide variety of pupusas. Their menu is provided in Spanish and English. The staff are welcoming and so kind and patient if you use your phone translator. Their breakfast is the best price around. The food is fast, fresh, and hot. It's a wonderful gem in the Vinton area.

Best pupusas I have had in Omaha. The staff is very friendly. I believe they are cash only. They also have 1 pork and cheese pupusas and 1 bean and cheese pupusas on Tuesdays and Thursday. Call ahead if you plan to carry out, as they get busy on those days.

Authentic, the papusas were SO good!!! Great price. Highly recommend. Also if you don't know any Spanish, you may want to get Google translate ready on your phone.

Delicious papusas, but also great everything else! Very reasonably priced - family of 3 ate in 30 and had leftovers.
