There are only a few places to sit. The food was very good! I was on a tight schedule, and they were very accommodating.

I found this cosy fusion salvadorean/ mexican restaurant on San Pablo avenue, they went the extra mile for a small mistake such as the wrong meat in the super burrito that my wife ordered, very tasty but the way, they gave the right order to go to my wife, this action see it on hotel or fancy restaurants, I tell you that They just impressed us, definitely we decided to go back to try out other items from the manu that already coughed our interests before they enhanced our experience.

This little whole in the wall eatery is a great spot to fill up El Salvadorian cuisine. It is popular for its papusas as many people order them. I don't eat them, but I love their tamales as they are wrapped in banana leaves which makes them softer and more flavorful than tamales wrapped in corn husk. My go to meal is the grilled shrimp plate with refried beans, rice, salad and tortillas. The tortillas are thicker than the ones you get at Mexican restaurants and very filling. The shrimp is grilled to perfection. However, it could use a little more seasoning. The rice is rice, nothing special, but I love the refried beans. The star of it all is the hot sauce. It is hot and flavorful and complements the food well. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food. It is a solid place to go to have a full belly.

Delicious papusas, maduros, and frijoles. A staple for family takeout now, even if it’s a long drive, it’s worth it!! Eat their food now!!

The best freshest pupusas of all kinds. Amazing tamarind shrimp tacos. Caldo de camarones with coconut milk is just amazing!! My fav Salvadorian food in the bay!Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie pupusas especially if you eat cheese. They even have a fresa (strawberry) and cheese pupusa!Dietary restrictions: Pupusas and tacos and their home made tortillas are GF so are the soups and tamales and platanos and beans etc

Puusas are good and fresh made to order, it just took whaaaaay to long to get our food. The place didn't seem that busy and it took more than an hour to get 2 pupusas. Literally was 11:00 am when we got there, not even lunch time, my coworker was right they have good food but they take way too much time to serve.Parking: Small parking lot, kind of difficult to find a spot if it's lunch time.

Not returning. Poorly written description of food in menu. Overpriced flavorless cold food. Super shirmp burrito was cold as soon as it was brought out to the table. Plate with two tacos was supposed to be "crispy" as in hard shell or some type of crunch, it was just a burned tortilla with very little meat for $4 something. The other plate contains one taco with cold tortillas topped with a sprinkle of chicken with no flavor, that was $3 something. Plus 2 drinks for $40. Not worth it. 2 hours later we are drinking ginger ale.

This is a place our family went to when we lived in the Bay Area. The food is great. You have to order tamales if you want them, they sell out so quick.
