Reviews
First time trying Salvadoran food and I was surprised by how different the flavors were. The rice and beans were great and different than what I was used to at a Mexican restaurant (from my experience don't knock me) the chicken flautas were delicious and cooked perfectly. They had few waitresses and a lot of patrons that was the only thing but can't blame em for being good!
We go to this place atleast once a week. We call in for pick up since we usually call in at 6:15 (they close at 7). Are pupusas are always delicious we have never had an issue the cashiers are always nice. I recommend the spicy salsa
The pupusas I would say are okay for a quick bite to eat. The service is also okay sometimes the wait is just long it does tend to get a little busy during lunch time so I would preorder.
Great service as usual and the food is fantastic! Love going there for the Caldo de Gallina as it tastes very good and how it comes like back in my hometown. Lastly the waitress are very helpful and friendly.
I came here at a recommendation. It was between breakfast and lunch time and only 2 tables had customers but as I finished up, 3 more tables were occupied. The place is simply decorated and clean. The staff seems to be all young women in uniforms, all very nice. I had the huevos con chorizo, which is eggs with Salvadorean sausage, with rice and beans. I also had to try a Pupusa so I got a mixta. Everything was really tasty and flavorful and I came out stuffed. If I was in the area I would go back and try something else. Oh music was playing a bit loud but not loud enough that you couldn't have a conversation.
