The plate to start was prepared like it was being submitted into a tasting contest. Very presentable. And the food was amazing had a plato tipico and pupusas both were really delicious. I came across this place on Google maps and liked the reviews figured I'd give them a try and they did not disappoint HIGHLY SUGGEST THEM (picture I had already taken a bite and realized I wanted to take a picture and show my family) service was also amazing by the cook and other guy came and checked to see how everything was and I was able to tell the cook how good and presentable the dish was

We were looking for an authentic Salvadorian breakfast and found exactly that. The restaurant is located inside a liquor store, but we were greeted as soon as we walked in. Friendly staff. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and perfect for indoor dining. We ordered the desayuno típico, and the food was delicious, and the service even better. We'll definitely be back to try the pupusas!

Delicious food, good-sized portions, and lovely people! Despite it being located inside of a liquor store, this unassuming place is a hidden gem. I highly recommend the revuelta and the calabasita with beans (all come with cheese). The prices are great and we have decided that this is our new, favorite pupuseria in the area.

I had a hankering for pupusas the other day and found El Jireh on Yelp so I came to check them out. And, they are inside a store so it felt like my kinda place to eat. Obviously, I ordered the asada and carnitas pupusas and I also wanted to try other El Salvadorian food as I really only knew pupusas. Well, I learned on my visit that El Salvador does tamales too and it's pretty different that the Mexican tamales that I was used to eating. Dare I say that Salvadorian tamales are better??? I think so as they are wrapped in plantain leaf instead of corn husk and the masa is way more moist. Pulse you can eat them with the pickled cabbage and sauces that you get with the pupusas so ME GUSTA! We also got the carne asada plate which was okay. They had some uncooked pieces of beans in it which I hope is not a regular occurrence. It also comes with freshly made tortillas (which is made with the pupusas dough) but I learned that they like tortillas a bit thicker whereas I'd prefer them a bit thinner. Parking lots isn't big and they have many booths for dine in. Service was good as they kept checking in on us to see if we liked the food. Will be back for pupusas and tamales for sure. Check out my pics.

I have to agree with the majority of people that this place really is a hidden gem. They operate inside of a liquor store so at first glance from the outside it is not too noticeable or significant but once you sit down and actually give this place a try, you realize how fantastic it is. The customer service and food is outstanding! You are immediately greeted by a tall friendly man who always has a smile on his face and is ready to assist you. I've only tried the pupusas but they also have a variety of other menu options and I have to say the pupusas alone are really delicious. The pupusas are made fresh as you order so you will always be getting a fresh and hot dish. This place is either dine in or to go but I always choose to dine in. I feel very welcomed and relaxed dining in and it doesn't feel rushed or chaotic like other restaurants who try to get you in and out as fast as possible. They have a really relaxing vibe here. Aquí se come agusto! I will definitely be returning back.

We were confused looking for Georges Cafe instead we found this Pupuseria and we were pleasantly surprised how great the quality was in this unassuming culinary destination. While the space is shared by a liquor store it doesnt impede service. People who run this place are super friendly and explained the menu items when asked. I think more people need find this little Salvadorian gem.

Great service, very welcoming and although it's a market there is plenty of seating. Pupusa we're fresh, generous, and delicious. Curtido was just ok .. could have used a little more flavor.. missing some of that zing .. a little bland .. had to add a lot of hot sauce. steak with onions was generous and very flavorful. the casamiento (salvadoran rice and beans) was just mash ... not fluffy and light. Very dissatisfied... nothing like home .... Will return for pupusas ... maybe ... cuz the curtido is what makes it ... and curtido is lacking. Would like to try the plantains and beans ,. Definitely come check it out ... lots of options ... i only tried a few.
