“ Try this restaurant for first time and it’s was so delicious I will be back ”
“ Food is delicious! This was my first time trying Salvadoran food. The fried yucca were my favorite. The pork was so easy to pull apart. Also ordered 2 x carne asada tacos and 2 x pupusas! ”
“ I've been to this restaurant twice before. I'm Nicaraguan so this cuisine is very similar to that of my native country. I ordered the shrimp entree with ranchero sauce, a side order of fried plantains, and a side order of fried yucca with slaw. My friend ordered the carne asada. Just be sure you have plenty of time because it takes a while for freshly prepared food. ”

“ Great authentic Salvadoran food. All of the employees were kind. We ordered the wet burrito, mojarra Friday, combo plate, fried plantains and the bean papusas de queso. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and the portions were very generous. If you want authentic then this is the place for you. The corn tortillas were so moist and fluffy. We will absolutely be back! ”
