Customer Reviews

"The name of this place quite literally translates to "the corner." Which is where they are hidden but definitely a place to try if you're in the area. The dining area is a little smaller but the dishes/drinks are full of flavor. The service is great as well. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I tried the sopes combo with your choice of meat, served on a fluffy and crunchy piece of fried dough, beans, lettuce, tomato, Salvadoran sour cream, queso fresco w/salsa (Fair warning the salsa is super spicy) and rice & beans on the side. I also had a Fresco de Tamarindo and it was freshly made just like all of their drinks. Glad I gave this place a try and can't wait to try their Salvadoran tamales on a weekend!"

"It's a STAPLE of the Sparks NV local cuisine. Those who havent had their pupusas aren't experiencing all that the city has to offer. Also very spacious seating which is unheard of for that area's non-chain eats! Ample parking too and honestly great service to everyone. :) been going for years and don't ever plan to stop!"

"I will always come for their pupusas, the revuelta is my favorite. Usually get takeout from here but the food never disappoints "

"Maybe biased since I went here since I was a child, but wow. Just wow. Employees are consistent and really nice, good paintings and decorations, flawless other than a bit of vandalism in the restroom--but it isn't that big of an issue. The food is perhaps the best ever. The pupusas is a top 3 dish of all time. GO THERE if you are nearby!!! Trust me!"
