The food was great, service a bit slow but It looked like there was only 2 people working. I felt bad for them when one person wasn't happy with their food. I'll still be back.
Best pupusas in town! Green salsa was amazing! Good customer service! Tried mostly all except the vegetarian ones.
Friend recommended Monse's! It was a snow day so glad they were open. Only one other table seated when we got there. Reggaton music playing and vibrant painted walls. Ordered the two pupusa plate. And strawberry agua Fresca. The portion is huge! Drink was tasty but little too sweet for me. Everything was delicious. Took awhile to get our order but granted it's all fresh. Highly recommended
Great tasting food for a dedicated gluten free place! Definitely coming back here. Got the avalanche pupusas and it was smothered in queso which made it extra delicious. The plantains were perfectly cooked and also something to definitely get if you like plantains.
This place does it right, their pupusas are made to order every single time and they are very large. I'm 6'1" and 250 pounds, I thought that I HAD to have two pupusas to get full but one with sides was more than enough and I too the second one home. Pro Tip: If you're a sauce person (like I am), go ahead and ask for extra sauce ahead of time when you order bc you'll end up using the little bit they give you pretty quickly. Cons: The service can get slow, especially when things start to get busy. If you are trying to stop by here for a quick bite or on time constraints, then this may not be the right fit for those situations.
Came to this place in a pinch. Wasn't expecting much. First off, this place had a cool late-night vibe. There was live music and everyone was having a good time. I loved that! I will say, the line kinda did take a while but it wasn't that big of a deal. The girl who took our order was nice and helped us navigate the menu. We tried one of their pupusas and I wish I could remember which one we got because it was to DIE FOR!! This place has some amazing food and if you like pupusas, you should come check this place out! You won't regret it!
On my list while exploring old Colorado Springs. I'm glad we went! The food was amazing! And they do offer vegan options so that's even better. I had a one pupusa (soyrizo and vegan cheese) plate with Yucca fries. Husband got the two pupusa plate with grilled jalapeño peppers. He got the ground beef and cheese plus revueltas (pork) and cheese. I was very curious to try some of the order vegan options so they kindly have me a sample of their vegan birria. It was very good. When the plates came we were shocked on how huge the pupusas are. We eat them quite often in a small Salvadoran place in our area but they are much smaller. I was glad I ordered only one as I wouldn't be able to eat two. My husband barely ate his. The entire food was delicious and fresh. The owner was very friendly, he came to chat with us for a while. I'll definetly visit them again while in the area.
Absolute gem of a find. Phenomenal service - the owner explained the menu to us, how to order, and reserved us a table. He was so kind and helpful! The wait for the food wasn't long at all - and it was all AMAZING. The yucca fries were phenomenal, the chicken and cheese was excellent, and the plantains were top notch. The atmosphere is beautiful, with a nice outdoor patio. Definitely get the strawberry horchata and check this place out!
