Authentic and delicious Salvadorean and Mexican food. I often go for their pupusas, best in town in my opinion. Good customer service. Very clean inside and a cozy atmosphere. Small parking place in the back. Definitely recommend stopping by to try out their extensive menu.

It's like eating at a family party/reunion because the food is fresh made with all the home style trimmings and a large helping of casual conversation from the staff. They treat everyone like a regular customer/friends. Location isn't the best, particularly because of the shotty parking area out back. Narrow and difficult to get in and out of when its peak hours; not very well kept either. The inside if the restaurant is kept clean, but it doesn't make up for the fact that the set up and atmosphere feels dated and in need of a renovation. If you just want good home style food without the hassle, I would recommend you give them a shot. If you're looking for a more modern/contemporary atmosphere/vibe this isn't the place for you.

Taste isn't right, 2.35 per pupusa it's almost ok, sodas and agua fresca are very expensive, also if u pay with card they charge you an extra dollar... it's that legal??

I saw a rat run across the kitchen floor when i was ordering. When i said something they acted like they couldnt speak english. My friend still got his food and was sick for a week after eating here. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!

This place is awesome. I wish i knew salvadorian language. Never had food from this country. So decided to give them a try. I asked for their recommendation because i had no knowledge what to order. They suggested ordering papusa. Told them go ahead with whatever stuffing they liked. I was irdering like 6 of them. The beautiful older lady (i think she's the owner) start to smile and very politely told me. Lets start with 2 first. That way if you like it. We can make more for you and help u to save money as well. She told me they make it fresh when they get the order. In my mind, FRESH is like a past life. Majority of the restuarant use frozen food. They even said, if i wanted to watch them make my papusas. Just stand by the counter. Man the lady looked like she was having a great time making papusas. I thought, may be this cooking reminds her of her home. Anyways, i tasted papusas they were not even ok. But they were great/awesome so fresh and great flavoring tasty just teasing me under my nose. I ended up eating 4 papusas. They definately won my business. Now i stop there more often and try their other dishes. Everything they make is fresh and taste so good, i wish i could make it at home. NAY..i got them to make it for me. Great customer service. I noticed many people stopping by to pick up their take out for the whole family. I highly recommend this place to visit. Food is not spicey but just perfect spieced to ur taste. Too many good dishes to mention that i have tasted there. I can go on n on. Its a great family restuarant with personalized service with smile. God bless them for opening a great eatery in this town.
