I love this restaurant very authentic Mexican and El Salvadoran food. The food is delicious, the prices are great and the service is excellent. The picture is the Papusas plate, which are homemade stuffed corn tortillas, stuffed with pork. Please don’t confuse these with regular corn tortillas they are completely different and amazing. I highly recommended this restaurant.

Ate here with my sisters and cousins, and it was very nice. The chairs and tables were super cool, as were all the decorations. The service was super great, especially because we’re a bunch of teenagers. The wait wasn’t too long, and it came with chips, beans, and salsa. They were very tasty, and had to be refilled because, once again, we’re teenagers who are very hungry. The pupusas we ordered were delicious and very filling. Great place, I’m very glad we went. However, they did had three flowers hanging on the wall that were unevenly spaced. This caused discomfort in one of our group members. When asked how it made her feel, she answered, “Disappointed… but also intrigued.” It was unnerving to see that sight, but we overlooked it as the food was so good.

I stopped by to try this place on a lunch break. It took awhile to be seated and awhile for my order to be taken. In fact the waiter never came by to take my order, I had to flag the hostess down and ask if I could please place my order. She said he would be out soon. Upon waiting more she came back and said she would take the order for me so I could get back from my lunch on time. The hostess was amazing and was going above and beyond her job duties. There was only one waiter working and he didn’t even check on me until the hostess had brought me my check. All in all I waited at least 5 minutes in the doorway waiting to be acknowledged, 15-20 min to place my order (which again no one ever came to do it I had to flag someone down). Once order was in I didn’t have to wait long for it to be cooked and delivered and it was indeed very good. That with the service from the hostess was why this was not a lower rating. Bottom line: if you are looking for prompt service I would avoid here but if you have a ton of time stop by, the food is good.

The food was amazing! We’ve never tried Salvadorian food, but fell in love with it right away. The pupusas and the fried yucca were both so good. We got some other stuff that all was extremely tasty as well. The guacamole was the creamiest I’ve ever had and it elevated it so perfectly. They were busy, so service was a tad slow, but our waiter was still a pleasure! Don’t question it – just go!!!

Came in to get change for a ten and they were helpful. I ended up missing my bus so I had time to buy a burrito. It was fantastic

The Salvadoran food here is phenomenal and authentic, so stick to that side of the menu. We had a few of the Mexican items, and they weren’t made with the same soul. Blended margaritas are delicious but a little light on tequila. The pupusas are all insanely delicious

Excellent El Salvador Food! I wish I had remembered to take photos of our 3 dinner plates. (We wanted to try more but can only eat so much. LOL) I came in with my son and we were seated right away. Lots of tables and very roomy. My son and I were both surprised because from outside it looked so small. Very clean restaurant and friendly customer service. Everyone had Smiles even though they were near closing our waitress was very patient while we ask questions about items on the menu. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back! 🙂
