Super generous portions for a decent price. I'm a fan of the pupusas and the tamales, though the empanada (which was a plantain stuffed with custard?) was very sweet and a bit too decadent for me. I really liked the huge portion of pickled vegetables as a side dish too! The lady at the register was also very welcoming and helpful.

My first experience eating food from El Salvador was excellent. I ordered Sopa de Gallina India, pupusas (spinach and mushrooms), and plantanos fritos, and everything was delicious. Will definitely return. I can't add photos because everything was eaten.

I've only had their pupusas, which are amazing. Packed full of flavor, impecapable timing on the grill, generous portion of curtido. No frills, just this amazing food.

The place is clean, people are friendly, and there's always a table or two dining there at any given time, which goes to show their popularity. Pricing is good for this quality.

Overall I do recommend this place. Nothing fancy but still a nice small treat.
