“ Tasty El Salvador cuisine. Restaurant is small, but it feels authentic and at home. Food is equally authentic and very good quality while not being expensive. Give this one a try when you’re in the area. ”
“ First time trying this place out and it was pleasant. Service No one greets you when you enter and you seat yourself, which kind of typical for small Salvadorean restaurants. Place is clean and has high chairs and booster seats for kids. The ladies were a bit serious and the kind that leave you be once food is at the table. You have to get their attention if you need something. Food The food in general is very tasty and reasonably priced for the portions. We ordered corn tamales and asked if they could be fried which they were able to do for us! Sooo good! They didn't come out oily either which was great. We ordered empanadas and they were good as well. The filling in them is different everywhere you go but it was enjoyable. We also ordered bean and cheese pupusas for my kids and they ate it up. They were good in flavor, on the bigger size, not greasy, not stingy on filling, and pretty balanced - as in not more cheese than beans or vice versa. My husband got combo number two and he liked it very much. It was surprisingly a very generous portion and was not able to finish it all. I ordered the chicken soup and a agua fresca. I loved the agua fresca! It was marañon flavor, which is the fruit that cashews grow on. I was disappointed on the soup though. It was very salty and the chicken typically is grilled and not fried. Had I paid attention that it was fried chicken I wouldn't have ordered it and opted for the beef soup. Overall, I would definitely come back again and try out other food items. Their breakfast items are the classic Salvy meals and I would love to come enjoy it one day. ”
“ First time coming here I really enjoyed it! Will be my new favorite Salvadorian food! Customer service was great always very attentive if we needed anything refills etc. portions were also very good. Food was very flavorful. They accommodate to your likes for example I did not want any plantains and they switched it to what I wanted instead. Will be returning soon! ”
