“ Unexpected find!!! Great food. Highly recommend going with the Salvadoran breakfast. I went without meat and regretted it after tasting the steak. Rancheros style with over easy eggs was delicious. Lots of options, but the corn tortilla was homemade and fresh - it’s a crime to do anything else. It was so good. It’s small inside with very limited seating but they’re fast and tables become available quickly. Parking is in front and seemed to have plenty of spots for all the businesses in the strip. Highest recommendation! ”
“ This is probably my 3rd review in my life. It was my first time here and I had the appetizer platter, me and my best friend LOVED it. I’ve had quite a few and this is one is def my favorite. Super fresh, the yuca wasn’t hard like some that I’ve tried, everything was just delicious! Our waitress was warm and super attentive. Def coming back!! ”
“ We had early dinner.... i was very hungry, so i ordered seafood soup (medium), 2 pupusas, one tamal, and horchata. I barely are half of it because it was very abundant. So I would recommend ordering less if than you would... the service was extremely pleasant and professional, yet friendly. The place is simple and neat, rich in detail, and the food is delicious! This place is a gem! -------*-**-*-*-*-*-------- I only ordered pupusas and horchata to go to share with some friends. All my friends were amazed at how good everything was.. I wish they had more vegan/vegetarian options and understanding. I asked to please separate vegetarian and meet pupusas. Instead, they were all mixed up, and the juices traveled from non veg. pupusas to the once vegetarian ones, so vegetarians had to choose to either not eat or eat meat juices.... ”
“ Amazing food, everything was good. I ordered an empanada and baleada. Staff was very kind and polite. I do recommend. ”
“ Clean,fast, and the good was really good. Stephanie was outstanding with the service and took extra steps to help us enjoy our time. The spot is great, and I can't wait to try other stuff. ”
“ This was our first experience with Salvadoran cuisine, and it was a very interesting! We ordered Pupusas (both beef and cheese and mixed), Tamales, Bistec Salvadoreno, and Beef Soup. Everything was delicious—none of the dishes were oily, all very high-quality with homemade flavors. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent! We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend trying this place if you’re looking to experience Salvadoran food! ”
“ Great food. Superior Micheladas. Friendly waitstaff. Decor could use more ethnic warmth and less a/c during winter! ”
“ It was our first time trying a Salvadoran restaurant, and we liked it. The place is small, well-decorate, - but not fancy - and clean. The plates and dishes are large and reasonably priced. We had beef soup and Pupusa, some bread with fillings, similar to an empanada. The parking is free and only has indoor seating. The waitress helped us to choose our dishes. ”
