★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shanese Rogers · Oct 2025

My friend and I spent $155 at the restaurant. I was highly disappointed as I asked for tacos and I’m allergic to cilantro. I asked for the toppings and I was informed there was only cheese, pico de gallo, and cilantro. I wasn’t even offered avocado as my friend got on her dish. A good recommendation would be lettuce, cheese, diced tomato, and sour cream. I also recommend they invest in black beans as everyone doesn’t want red and refried beans. Customer service is good but I would also recommend asking customers if they would like their drink opened before assuming. The space is quaint and it was full so we had to wait a bit before being seated which is good for the business and I understood that part. The food was good but can be modernized.

May I say they have the best pupusas in the whole state. Their horchata also is 10/10. Every time I’ve had the food here its been phenomenal.

I like this place the most out of the Salvadoran places on Broadway. I personally think their best deal is the montecristo plate (~$16). I was absolutely shocked when I first got it. Came with rice, beans, fresh tortillas, salad, queso fresco, a GIANT piece of steak, yuca frita, and a whole strip or Chicharron and a sweet plantain. Try the Chicharron and plantain mixed together--the sweetness really balances out the natural saltiness of the pork and it's so good!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Schuyler Bailar · May 2024

Delicious, homey, well-priced, no frills Salvadoran food! We enjoyed everything we ordered with gusto. Our favorite main was the Gordita (chicken) sandwich and our favorite bite was the nuegados - chewy and fluffy and cheesy yuca bites, perfect savory or sweet - dipped in the syrup that accompanies them, or topped with curtido. The pupusas were tasty as well. We could tell everything was freshly made - from the horchata to the pupusas and fried plantains. We got 5 dishes and three drinks and the bill totaled $50 which we thought was quite a good deal - especially because we had probably enough food for another meal to take home. Our server was also very kind and patient, taking the time to explain each dish carefully when we didn't know what it was. Our only note is that the food took abou
