Ordered revueltas, queso y loroco and hongos con queso pupusas for pickup. Delicious freshly made pupusas with crispy cheese oozing out. Goes very well with pickled cabbage, salsa and tomato soup.

This is my second time here and both times it has been perfectβ¦. Love coming for brunch! This time, we ordered the desayuno ranchero with carne asada pupusa, Salvadoran Horchata, and two revuelta pupusas. We always sit on the patio and itβs fun to people watch and listen to the music. The service is excellent! The first time we came here we got a $10 off coupon for a minimum of $30 spent, and we used it this time! Canβt wait to come back!

Bad behavior delaying and rejecting
It's a full service restaurant with a large and diverse menu of appetizers, soups, salads, pupusas, and entrees includings pastas. The menu is obviously focused on Central America style food, but I was lured in after learning that among their Italian items is a meatball sandwich than includes a side of fries. The sandwich was good with four medium-sized meatballs, tangy rather plain tomato sauce, and melted cheese on a soft roll. Not as good as the gold standard meatballs, sauce, and bread at Mona Lisa in Little Italy, but passable.
The fries were hot and crisp, which is a rarity these days having been served so many that were mushy, limp, and barely warm. In addition to ketchup, there is a tasty side of ranch. They serve beer, wine, and mixed drinks made with wine.
The ambiance is very comfortable with authentic Central American decor. The service fast, friendly, and efficient. Their consistently excellent health inspection reports are a big plus. I'll be back to try their Salvadoran specialities.

My wife is from Metapan, El Salvador, so I am usually hesitant bringing her to a place that claims to be authentic Salvadorean. But she loved this place, the food, and the service. Which says alot seeing that she had 15+ years in the restaurant business. She said this place reminded her of home. So we strongly recommend this place.

We were walking by looking for a place that served breakfast all day. We had never had El Salvadoran food before but gave it a shot. It ended up being delicious, will definitely be back
