I think we caught them on an off day. While the place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly, I just didn’t meet expectations. We went for bottomless Sunday brunch during what was supposed to be a special “Dia de Los Muertos festivities” week. They did have a beautiful ofrenda at the entrance. Other than that, all we got was a 50 min wait for food to come out. Some small plates we ordered never came, others were missing ingredients/toppings, one we started eating, no one checked if we needed more drinks. Now they did ask about and accommodate a gluten allergy. I greatly appreciate that. Would have been even better if it was marked on the menu. All in all, the people were nice and the food was very good, but on this day, when it wasn’t packed, we waited a long time for nothing all that special.

This place has been saving me from hunger since its food truck days. I’m gluten free so I make sure to mention it - and sometimes they will ask unprompted if I have a food allergy. My favorite item to get is the nachos without jalapeño peppers. It’s still got a nice spice to it and it is filling. They’ve also recently started offering a chocolate horchata and buzzy (aka with coffee) horchata drink that just hits the spot on a hot day. The atmosphere is chill, lots of cool stuff on the walls and always great music playing. Bathrooms available as well.

Love this restaurant for our family dinners! My kids are huge fans of their Quesadillas; it's become a regular favorite in our household. Our daughter's best friend has a gluten allergy, and whenever they have a playdate, I can count on this restaurant to provide delicious gluten-free Burritos for them. It's a great option over pizza and feels like a healthier choice for the kids. Highly recommend this spot for both taste and consideration for dietary needs!

First time trying this! They have gluten-free options for the most part (pupusas and tacos). I ordered the 3 pupusas dish, 1 bean and chesse (plain, nothing special), 1 Birria and chesse (better in tacos I guess. Not that good) and 1 revueltas (OK flavor) It was very mediocre, nothing special honestly. You can go to east Boston for better pupusas or cristians in Somerville. 15 dollars isn't worth it. I'm sorry. Maybe come get the pupusas here for convenience of location. I wouldn't recommend. My husband order the chicken and fries. He said the fries had a nice crispy crunch but the portion was small over all rating is 4/10. The chicken wings a 1/10, no flavor and tasted freezer burned. Anywho! I like writing honest reviews to save people money and time. They may have other items that are better. We did take-out, the guy at the counter was super helpful and nice. 3 stars for the customer service!

This is one of my favorites in the area. The best on the menu is the shredded beef and the gluten free tamales!!
