We've planned out the slightly gluttonous itinerary, so all you have to do is put on a pair of eating pants - trust us, you'll need 'em! We have so many awesome restaurants to check out, that we had to split them into multiple months.

Are you ready to make your mouth happy with some delicious treats? For just $25 you’ll enjoy a special dish at all four (4) of our monthly highlighted restaurants, food trucks or bakeries. Once a ticket is purchased, you will be emailed four (4) separate tickets - each with the restaurant name attached - which you can print or display from your phone at the time of entry. Only ONE per person, per month- there is a space in the checkout for friends & families names and emails to make bulk purchasing easier!

We are a married couple who started cooking tamales and pupusas at home since 2009, focusing mainly on the flavors that characterizes us and our passion for great food. Over time our business grew and in 2020, we were blessed in finding our own place here in the heart of downtown Danbury.

Since then, we have shared our love for Salvadoran and Guatemalan cuisine with all who visit. The specialty of the house of course are delicious PUPUSAS! Everything that we create is made from scratch as if you were coming right into our home. So, when you order pupusas please note there is a wait of about 10-15 minutes. The good news is they are worth the wait! We are delighted in having you be our guest!
