Customer Reviews
This restaurant serves truly authentic Salvadorian food (I know because I went with a real Central American!). From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping outside of North America… soft Latin music playing, football on the TVs, and beautiful live plants throughout the space. I ordered the tilapia frita, and it was very filling: a large, well-cooked fish with generous sides of rice and salad. The portions were big, and the bill came to about $20 per person, which is great value for the quality and amount of food. The service was friendly, respectful, and fast. Definitely worth a visit.
Great place, large menu and plenty of seating options. Only had 2 pupusa (chicken and pork each with cheese) but they were delicious. Lots of other food dessert and drink options.
I stumbled upon this place when I was driving around looking for a bite to eat with the family. I've had Salvadoran food before, but ask my mom what she thought about a good place to have Salvadoran food. She said she knew about this one restaurant, so we checked it out and I thought I would give it a try. I swung by, and they were empty (too late for lunch and a tad early for dinner). I walked right up to the counter and got seated right away. I got three pupusas, and they were ready in ten minutes. The pork & cheese one was fantastic and super gooey. The pork one was by far my favorite with a nice mix of meat and cheese. The bean one was my least favorite as it was a tad dry. The pupusas themselves were fresh, hand-made, and were bigger than I expected. I kind of just wish I had gotten
We are from New York they give us very late the food and they don’t give too much chicken, and the tortillas are not made in the comal they look like like from other day
Staff provided excellent service. Our waitress was very attentive and our order was placed correctly. The pupusas were delicious and reasonably priced. The beverages (Horchata & Tamarindo) were also good. My husband and I ordered a variety of pupusas from the menu and we were not dissapointed. There were a lot of good pupusa options to choose from and they were all tasty. The only reason they don't get a 5 star review from us is because the place was a bit chilly inside (we went in January) and it felt like the heater was not on at a proper temperature.Also, be aware if you order the “tamal de elote” that comes with crema (the crema is an extra $2 up charge and the menu doesn’t tell you that anywhere). Usually in other places, the tamal de elote comes with crema on the side for the same pr
