This place has changed its name to El Cafetalito. I asked if it has changed owners and they said yes, it is under new ownership. Service is the same and I ordered what I usually used to get, chile relleno. Most of it taste the same but I noticed the Chile didn't seem to be cooked as well. I may have to try the enchilada plate next time just to see if it's worth it to keep dining at this place.
The food was excellent and great prices! The pupusas are so delicious and the chile relleno was one of the best I have had. I had my go to place but this is now my new favorite hole in the wall for Mexican food. Delicious hole in the wall place. We just happened to stop by and it is absolutely delicious, especially the taquitos. The environment feels very home grown and authentic mom and pop restaurant. Little to no crowds and small seating areas. Great food and local family feel.
Friendly staff. Pupusas are not greasy like some other places. Curtido is yummy and the tomato sauce is the best I've ever had. This is my first time having them and this is gonna be my new pupusa spot.
