This was my first time at this great little restaurant, but it won’t be my last. I started with a Dos XX and was pleasantly surprised when it was accompanied by an ice cold mug. The steak and shrimp fajitas came out sizzling mixed with onions and peppers. The homemade corn tortillas were delicious also. The bonus of it all was the great service!

On the recommendation of a friend I decided to go for lunch. It’s a nice and clean small restaurant with great prices. We tried several lunch specials and appreciate that they were made for us. The chicken quesadilla came with beef instead – I enjoyed it anyway. The guacamole looked so good I tore into it before I could get my picture! The rice and beans were fairly ordinary, but the main courses were great…

Nachos were perfect, almost a meal by themselves. I was sharing a large nacho order.The dessert flan was smooth and heavenly. Pupusas were great! Sopes were well made and generous toppings. No complaints at all. Waiter and waitress were both very helpful, answered any questions and very attentive. Have gone twice, will return soon.

Seating was definitely fast, then came the drinks, and the food. Waiting for the food, was probably less than 20 minutes, and that was for a table of 5. Waitress definitely checked on us a few times.

No complaints on the food except for the fact they only brought me 2 steak tacos when I also ordered 2 beef tacos service was horrible and that’s the reason for 2 stars never followed up on food brought food to us 3 separate times only 2 person table. After we finished our food we waited over 25 min. For the waitress to even come to the table to give us the check only 4 other tables were seated with the biggest being a 5 top. After taking my credit card it took her 12 min. To bring it back to me when it had already been swiped and sitting on counter.
