Great customer service and yummy pupusas. I highly recommend the fajita and cheese pupusas and also the mixtas. I order ahead instead of dining in since it takes a while to get the food due to it being a popular restaurant.

I stop by here anytime I am in the mood for Salvadoran food. The food is always great and the service is always friendly. It is a mixture of a bakery and a restaurant so at times it can feel a little crowded but the food is worth it.

This place is good, nice, and they have variety. I didn't give them 4 star's because I have had better pupusas but these pass. They're breakfast are my favorite but the portions are less than other places. But their prices are reasonable.

Was waiting for Mom at an appointment and needed something close. This pequeno restaurante is located on Jones, between 1960 west and Fallbrook. The inside was clean, with brightly colored interior and traditional music playing. I was seated and taken well care of by Mary. Started with an Horchata, my childhood favorite and it was delish! Asked Mary what she liked as it all looked good on the menu. When she suggested the pupusa I was thrilled. She brought the crispy bread sticks with butter and a side of pickled slaw while I waited. When the fajita pupusa came out I could see it was going to be amazing, thin Maiz full of queso and fajita meat. Grilled perfectly so the cheese that melted out was seared just right. I added a side of refried black beans and rice. Layering everything with the pickled slaw was heaven in every bite. Truly a Salvadoran treat! Speaking of treats, there was a case all along the right wall full of fresh pastries. Had to get the Boy a sprinkled short bread cookie while I was there. My meal was simple but have no fear.... I'll be back to try their other dishes!

I'm not Latin you go without reading my review of Cafe Latino. There's a lot of great places for Pupusas and Salvadoran food around Houston, but these are some of the absolute best pupusas that we've had. We've become somewhat regulars here because we do love pupusas. Amazing taste, greasy, perfect. Will be back here again on a regular basis because of how good and cheap these delicious fried Salvadorian Delights are. Make sure you slather them in sauce because they're even better that way, and most of all make sure you eat them fresh and hot because that's how it's supposed to be.
