★★★★★ 5.0 Vannessa Negron · May 2025

So hubby and I are always looking for small, quaint, reasonably priced restaurants to venture out too on our weekly excursions. Unfortunately, I haven’t had anything to really write about up until yesterday. This little mom and Pop joint is the bomb at first when you walk in it’s small yet clean has some unique decor and I was confused as to whether it was Salvadoran or Guatemalan. In any event as soon as we walked in, we were serviced right away. The menus were simple, but had quite a bit of intriguing dishes to choose from. I ordered a dish containing skirt steak, beef rib, pork and shrimp. It was out of this world. The portions were hearty and the meal itself was on point. Don’t even get me started on the Pupusas 🫓 HOLY SMOKES, they were amazing! I’m a Pupusa connoisseur, so they had to

This place is wonderful. You get a lot of food! The decor is beautiful too, with decorative table cloths, bamboo, and incredible paintings on the wall. Andrea was our server and she was very nice. It’s an instant favorite! The only reason for 4 stars is they had some pretty disturbing movie on the tv screen. It was gory and terrifying. If you don’t want to see the tv, sit near the back! We’ll do that next time.

The food is incredible! And the atmosphere is great! Plus, the prices are reasonable. I'll definitely be back.

The pupusas were made to order and the curtido was fresh and delicious. I went back 2 days later for the same plate.

The “Specialty of the house” was amazing and so was the horchata. Beautiful decoration. Bathroom had no paper towels nor hand drier… music was loud.
