Customer Reviews
Food was great! The gentleman who served me was literally the nicest person ive ever met. My wife, whos salvadorean, says the cheese they use is authentic. They have two types of salsa de tomate and the curtido has the right amount of ferment not too much but not just raw cabbage. They additionally have great cheesecake. I didnt try the horchata but i will next time. The map of el salvador on the wall is so cute.
We loved the food. The service good. Very friendly. Checked on us a lot before we got food. Not as much after. But they have a bell to ring if you need them. The food was so fresh and good. We got a large platter that served 2 or more. We had never been before and wanted to sample everything. This was a great value. My wife and I will get 5 meals out of it. Loved everything. Sauces were great. Papusas very tasty. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. We will go back and bring our kids.
Outstanding place for lunch. Pollo and camarones was delicious and a huge portion. Enough shrimp for a meal on its own. Pollo chipotle was also very good.
We went there when we were participating in the harry potter murder mystery. It was one of the businesses participating. They were very welcoming and helpful on deciding on what to order. We ended up splitting the pork pupusas and carnita tacos. Best pupusas I have tried. Tacos were in what tasted were homemade tortillas piled high with meat. The cabbage salad was not my favorite though. Would recommend this place to others.
Wow! This place is seriously amazing. From the salsa, which was some of the freshest and tastiest I have ever had, to the chiliquilas. Absolutely delicious. Generous portions, food came out fast but not too fast. You can tell everything is made fresh to orders with incredibly fresh ingredients. The sign above the kitchen reads “seasoned with love” and I believe it. You can’t go wrong and I’m so glad to have another great restaurant in our little town.
