THIS PLACE !!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for great food, this is definitely the place for you! My parents brought us here for the first time couple of weeks ago and it was amazing !!! My boyfriend and I tried it again today for breakfast and again phenomenal! We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. The wonderful employees took our order right away, and the food was out very quickly. We came here because we were craving the original salvi breakfast. And I am telling you, it did not disappoint! Next time we will take pictures ! The food, the service, the atmosphere.. I can't boast enough. We were so genuinely impressed with this place. Every employee is nice and so kind . This is definitely our go to spot!

The food was great and service was friendly. The restaurant is located inside a supermarket so seating is limited.

Me and my family are regulars here ever since I was a child! The guy who seems to be the manager or owner is super nice and welcoming! The menu is versatile, with Salvadorian food to also some classic american breakfast. We love coming here, and please try the Salvadorian horchata! Service is incredible, portion sizes are super generous! Couldn't recommend it more.

This place is now known as El Jireh Pupuseria. The staff is very friendly and always welcoming and eager to serve. They are located inside a mini market (shared space) Honestly, I've been here several times over the years..the Pupusas have changed..not as good as they used to be.. For me personally- they are much larger than what in my opinion Pupusas should be..(I love a good Pupusa) I feel there's a lot of maza left over, and the filling can't be appreciated.. sometimes there's a lot of cheese in it..they also mix beans with the Chicharrón..we've asked for Chicharrón only, but get the mixed filling. Another downside for me is the side of salsa and curtido.. you're not gonna get a small bowl of either salsa or curtido to help yourself as you want to eat together with your Pupusas .. they give you small portions in mini to go ketchup or salsa condiment containers. They charge extra if you want more than the 1 or 2 small ones they bring to the table. I can't tell you that they are delicious since I can't really taste the filling too much but they are satisfying. Due to their very friendly customer service this is a tough review for me.

Cute hole in the wall. Location is adjacent to a liquor store. Customer service is great. Everyone there is super sweet and check on you constantly to make sure everything is enjoyable. The horchata is delicious The pupusas are great. They're not greasy and have enough fillings. The platanos Fritos con frijoles and creama are delicious I would recommend and most definitely come back

I wanted to try a new pupusas restaurant and came up on this local place not too far from my place. I was a lil but surprised since the restaurant shares the building with a liquor store, but we went to place our order. The gentlemen told us we could sit if we were dining in and he'd bring the menu to us. His service was on point This is the service that I really appreciate and makes me enjoy my food even more. They food was amazing, pupusas were perfect size too...not to small and not too big where you'll get full on one. I absolutely love fried plantain...Always has been my favorite and we're perfectly made. The appetizer platter had a lil bit of Salvadoran specialty, gives you a sample of what they serve. And...There's parking inside

This place has awesome revueltas. I got pork revueltas and a bean and cheese pupusa and once I started eating, I couldn't stop. I was also shocked that they had GUANÁBANA agua fresca! I am so glad this place is down the street from me. Thank you guys for having wonderful food!
