" This was my first time at America's House, and I really wanted to love it. The food was good, especially the flavors in the pupusas, but the service was noticeably slow. I waited so long for my order that some of it arrived cold. The dining area had a cozy feel, but the organization seemed off. I think they need more staff during busy hours. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing praise for America's House, I finally visited with family. The food was delicious, especially the pupusas; they were packed with flavor. However, it was quite busy and our orders took too long to arrive. The atmosphere felt homey, which I liked. I’m excited to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" America's House is a hidden treasure. I was drawn in by the smell of fresh cooking. The pupusas were fantastic!

Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good Salvadorian meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The pupusas are beyond compare – simply scrumptious. The only downside is that the restaurant can get noisy when it's busy. A tip for newcomers: order ahead during lunch hours to avoid the rush. The staff is friendly and remembers your favorite dishes. I’m a regular now and I love the friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here after hearing about the amazing pupusas. They did not disappoint! The flavors were fresh, and you could taste the authenticity in each bite.

" America's House is a delightful blend of flavors and cultures. I stumbled upon this place and was captivated by the pupusas. They tasted freshly made! The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with Latin music that complements the dining experience. I was pleased with the service, though I recommend they could do with an extra pair of hands during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" America's House offers a mix of cuisines, but their Salvadorian dishes are the main highlight. The dining experience is casual, and I appreciated the opportunity to enjoy authentic flavors in my meal. Service can improve, especially during rush hours, but the friendliness of the staff makes up for it. I definitely recommend trying the pupusas! " (*Curated Review*)
