First, this place is the best place to get authentic food. It’s hands-down the best taco plate you can get. The Birria tacos are the best. Anyway, today I went for a the pork bowl with home made guacamole and their secret cilantro sauce on the side. It was perfectly cooked. Try this place. It’s family run and very authentic. It’s hands-down the best tacos, bowls and empenanadas for 30 miles round. They have table service, you order, pay and sit down. Very simple. Place is very clean. I’ll be back and I’m grateful they will as well.

I like this Taste of Latin America. I wanted something different and this taco was slow cooked shredded beef that you can dip in there sauces and you can pick spicy .I think I have a spicy Jalapeño sauce here there's also shrimp and chicken fried plantains .There's even a array of different kinds of things snacks ,cake ,noodles you can try .my daughter even bought some jello shots non alcoholic. Plain different service was great .I gave it a 10 loved it i will come back again. Real food and 😋delicious.

A perfect meal! I'm in town for a wedding and have never been here before today. The gentleman at the counter (the owner, I believe) was kind, patient, and informative as I asked questions about the menu. I ordered 3 pork (chicharrón) tacos, 1 pork and cheese pupusa, and 1 beef empanada. They were all delicious, as were all the sauces and the curtido (cabbage relish) that accompanied them. Everything tastes like it's made with love and pride. Muchas gracias for an excellent meal!

I didn’t know this place was in town until today- I looked it up and read the reviews, and immediately knew I had to try it. I got the pork birras and plantains. Oh. My. God. It was better that I imagined, and I’ve been wanting to try pork birras since I saw a video about them months ago. This place is a gem hole in the wall, and if you haven’t tried it, you really should!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10

This. Place. Is. Magic. I love food that is made to order. I am Salvadoran, and let me tell you I ordered these pupusas that have mixed filling in them. As I was waited for my order, I could hear the preparation ( the masa being shaped into the circular goodness) I could have sworn my ancestors were beside the kitchen staff. My order came and loved every bite of it! I'm bringing my mother here next time, that's how serious this is!
