I was staying at Banner University (right down the street) and had someone bring me some sopa de res from this place. IT TASTED LIKE HOME 😭. It had yuca, calabasin, chayote, carrot, and two big pieces of bone with beef on them. The beef was so flavorful and tender. But the broth! For me, soup is all about the bone broth when you’re sick. It was delicious and I could see the little droplets of collagen on the top… I’m in love. It hasn’t been easy for me to find a nutrient filled real bone broth soup in Phoenix. Often it’s like chicken stock with bouillon. Or some gross chicken noodle soup thickened by guar gum or xanthan gum (hello Panera and CFA). Or at a Mexican restaurant, the caldo is red which usually indicates chili powder of some sort was added which you don’t want if your gut is inflamed, although normally I love that. If your loved one is staying at Banner H hospital, stop in and check this place out for something simple and humble that tastes like good home cooking. You get really two bowls of soup out of the order and it comes with homemade tortillas. Can’t wait to go eat here soon, their fried plantain looks perfect.

I’ve been here several times and the quality of the food has significantly decreased. I was there today to pick up my large phone order of pupusas (cheese,bean, loroco) for a birthday party. It was so disappointing and embarrassing with my guests to have served such a distasteful meal. The pupusas were dry, and basically tasted like eating tortillas and beans. When I called the restaurant owner her response was that she had not received any other complaints and simply denied that her cooks would skimp out on the cheese and loroco. I even sent the attached photos to the owner as proof of what I was served. I do not recommend this place.
