★★★★☆ 4.0 SERGIO MEDINA · Feb 2026

Great food. A real nice and cozy place. Not a big restaurant it's a small place with limited seating. The food is Mexican and Salvadorian. When you walk in you sit yourself waitress will bring you a menu. The food is great and well seasoned. I had the onion steak with red beans and Spanish rice. Can not complain. Home made tortillas come with your order. Also had a bananas shake. Very tasty. The prices are between $10-20. Highly recommend for any in the mood for spanish food. I give it 8.5 / 10.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very calm. I ordered 2 pupusas, one loroco and one chicharrón, I also ordered an horchata to drink and for dessert empanadas, that had custard filling. It was cold outside so it wasn’t full.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ciara · Jul 2022

Friendly staff, quick service, and really good lunch. The papusas (not pictured) were definitely a favorite. The chicken and cheese just melted in your mouth. Meats were tender and juicy. The music was upbeat and lively. Definitely deserves the five stars for good food and good customer service.

★★★★☆ 4.0 E. Pat · Nov 2023

This restaurant is a Mexican and Salvadorian blend. The food: I had the shrimp, chicken, and steak plate with side a salad, rice, and bean. The rice was filling. It was fluffy, thick, and flavorful. The beans were whipped and slightly spicy. I also ordered the pork chops smoothed in onions tomatoes and peppers. It was on the Salvadorian side of the menu. The handmade tortilla was delicious. Chips, salsa, cheese dip. Name a better trio.!!! The service: Pick a seat, and the server will come to you. She was bilingual, pleasant, and super helpful with a menu. The orders were correct, hot, and timely. The atmosphere: booths and tables are available. It was a small, downhome feel. Thr arr work related mexican and Salvadorian pieces.
