This is my favorite local salvadorian food place, I definitely recommend. Customer service is great and the food is delicious. I believe any restaurant that has both of these qualities is a great restaurant.

Food is good but cumstomer service is poor when you call and order. Doesnt make sense for them to tell me it will be ready in 20 and when i get there she tells me just a few more minutes. Turns out she was barely getting the cook to make them. Ended up waiting another 25 minutes.
