I always drive by this place and notice it because of the bright yellow building, and I finally got the chance to eat here for a friend’s birthday party. They set up in the outdoor area, which was perfect for a small event. The staff even made special menus for the party, which I thought was a really nice touch. I got to try the queso fundido with chorizo, chicken empanada, pupusa revuelta, and the ceviche tostada plate. The queso fundido was cheesy and rich, and the salty chorizo paired perfectly with the chips. The chicken empanada was crispy on the outside with a moist and flavorful filling. The handmade pupusa was one of my favorites — soft, cheesy, and packed with flavor. You could really taste that it was freshly made. The ceviche tostada plate was super fresh and refreshing, a grea
Been here twice now. This place is really clean, cute and comfy. Their menu has some very interesting things that I've never seen before and so far what I've tried to tastes good! They have several pupusas with different fillings. We tried pork, cheese and beans, and also the mushroom and cheese one. The staff is super nice and friendly too!
We decided to go here the other day because it seemed like a nice place for comfort food on a cold rainy day and we were CORRECT! We ordered the beef and cheese pupusas and they were amazing. I got the abuelita hot chocolate which was delicious and the waitress even topped off my glass because she had made a little extra. Very kind staff and very good food! Can’t wait to come back!
The service was great no complaints about the kind server. The food tho... awful. I ordered chilaquiles. Which I understand this is a Salvadoran restaurant. But I thought they should be good. I was wrong. It was like if the cook just took a bottle of salt and poured it on top. The salsa was salty, the meat was salty and they added hard cheese which was even more salty. Then I ordered a corn tamale. It was bad. It was a sticky texture and was too sweet. They added too much sugar to the masa of the corn tamale. It sucks cuz I chose to try this place out instead of a big name chain restaurant but I regret it. Even the coffee was bad. I love coffee. I couldn't finish the coffee even. The owner was there, so was the cook, and asked me about my food. Cuz she saw i didnt finish my food. So i wa
Currently typing this review while in a food coma from eating here! This restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious, the staff is outstanding, and the presentation is great. Also, the place is very clean. Make sure you order a papusa with your meal because it was the best I’ve had. Same with their Salvadoran Horchata. I definitely plan on coming back to this place…very soon.
