Great food, and attentive service, in a humble - yet very clean - hole in the wall. You can tell they take pride in the food and drink they serve. We ordered too much, yet ate it all, because everything was so good. The next time I make the trip from Phoenix, I'll be sure to come back here for lunch or dinner.

The worst restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life they refused to serve me because I am an African-American and I was with a Caucasian male they inferred that I was already drunk the moment I walked into the restaurant and that they cannot serve me alcohol I hadn't drinking anything all day I was almost questioning whether I should call the police and have them come out here and breathalyze me to prove a point. Im tired of the racism and hatred that the hispanic and american elite vomtinue feeding into and provoking. People or business that operate to those standards dont need to be allowed to continue to operate and that goes for every race creed color or ethnic background if your not going to benefit the country as a whole then you dont need to be here period. Worst customer service worst waitresses hostesses bartenders every employee in that establishment

Well well. Came in based on being next to the Hollywood hotel. I ordered two beef and two chicken and a couple pupusas. Chips salsa and guacamole. Take out. These two guys walk in and jam out for a bit. Very relaxing environment inside.

Food was excellent. Flavor town was back.
Well played.

And the burritos were huge. Nice to have that on the am.

The food is good, but I ordered a shrimp soup with fish through Uber Eat, but they didn't remove the scales well from the fish, so I couldn't eat it, and now every time I want to order through Uber Eat, they cancel my order. Like they don't like that I complained to Uber Eat about the fish full of scales that I couldn't even eat, I would have gone and thrown them there.😡

A Pata soup, with its vegetables, and everything complete and a fresh Tamarindo water, everything is delicious.

My Salvadorian girlfriend craves this food and really likes this restaurant.
I on the other hand strongly disagree with her estimate.
It is embarrassing for a restaurant to surve such a bland and tasteless food with no flavor, no taste - nothing.
I don't really have experience with that cuisine, but it really reminds me of Russian or even Finish food. Food with no taste whatever. One would think the cook is a gym bro that does chicken in the oven with nothing on it - it was that awfully bland.
How is it possible to cook so bad? One has to try very hard to be that inept...
I am no cock, but I can assure I can cook 10 better than this sorry place.
Service was dismissive and pretentious like they are doing me some kind of favor taking my money and giving me nothing in return.
Atmosphere was depressing and I do think the place needs a bit of a cleaning... hygiene is lacking...
Don't waste your time or money here.
