Delicious food. The pupusa had a very good texture and flavor. I also really enjoyed my chicken tacos and the salsa that came with it. My husband got the Bistec plate which we both really liked.

The food here was really good. We ordered 2 kids meals (chicken and French fries), a beef soup and 4 pupusas. The soup was very hearty and perfect for a rainy day. The pupusas were cheesey and my kids loved their chicken and French fries. Definitely a quick spot to go to.

I had fried plantains & beans. Absolutely delicious! Huge portions-- I had leftovers to take home. Service was good. My server didn't speak or understand English, but we communicated just fine. My meal plus a canned coke was only $5 before tip.

Best El Salvadorian restaurant in the area. The pupusas are really good. Love the nuegados and empanadas de plátano.

My favorite spot to eat at. I order the pupusas here because they make it the right way! The horchata is so good and i will always drive 40 min to eat here. Worth it everytime. The staff is kind, great customer service

OMG!! I tried the pupusa con queso and it was absolutely delicious..crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, and full of authentic Salvadoran flavor. You can really taste the love and tradition in every bite. Friendly family vibes, great hospitality, and a menu in both English and Spanish make it easy to order. Definitely coming back for more pupusas! Love the vibe reminds me of Los Angeles, California

My papusas were made order and very fresh. The place is authentic and interesting.

Karina Restaurants serves the best Pupusas you can have in the Marietta area. Truly Delicious. Must try the cheese and Chicharón Pupusas. Their breakfast is wonderful.
