  I love the pupusas here, they always come out hot and fresh! For $2 or less, you can't beat the options as a snack or meal.
  
  When I'm in the mood for puposas, this is my go-to spot.

  So I've been in Bentonville for a couple of months, living out of a hotel (i.e., eating out all the time), and I will hands down say this one of my top three restaurants in town. It's not fancy by any stretch, and yes - service can be very slow (not sure what that's all about...), but the food is outstanding, and there many excellent options to choose from.
  
  My favorite item is the shrimp pupusa - a couple of these would make a filling meal for $4 (!), with plenty of shrimp. It's incredibly savory, and unlike the other pupuserias around town, the one served here isn't greasy at all.
  
  Other great items are the shrimp a la diabla, chicken ranchera, carne de rez, and all of the fried snapper plates. Thick, Salvadorean-style handmade tortillas come with most meals, and it's hard not to leave here stuffed.
  
  Reading the other reviews, it's apparent this would have a 5* overall rating if they could sort out their service issues (for what it's worth, I've , at least found them to be quite friendly), so here's hoping they're able to do that...

  The only reason I gave this restaurant one star is because you have to give them at least one star to post something. Place was completely empty except for three tables with children yelling and running and screaming and no adult supervision. Everybody had their cell phones out to include the staff playing different music at 120 decibels over the house music. I ordered something very simple three pupusas rice and beans 35 minutes later my drink is empty no food and the girl came by and asked is my food coming and her response was would you like to wait for your food or do you want to leave now?

  Horrible wait time even when ordering through the phone. This happens every since time. They told me my order would be done by 7:30 and I've been here waiting for so long. At the time of this review it's 8:05 and no one has told me about my order and I'm sure I'm going to wait longer. The food is fine but the wait is terrible. If you're in a rush please don't bother wasting your precious time here.
