Pupusas are really tasty. Workers are really nice, and just a solid Salvadoran restaurant in this part of the city.

The food is great, the service is fast, prices are reasonable, and the portions are big. The ladies that work there are very friendly and prompt. I will definitely be back soon.

Salpicón is a well-known dish with many Latin American origins like Spanish language itself spoken with their own distinctive accents as well as vocabularies by Mexicans, Columbians, Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Hondurans and even Brazilians (você fala brasileiro o portugues 😊)
Salvadoreño Salpicón is a dish served cold, with finely chopped beef seasoned with pepper and salt, warm rice, frijoles, salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and carrot (or rábano) with handmade tortillas de maíz gruesas y a mano (my favorite 😊).
After comparing several locations in the City including popular Balompié Café I am strongly recommending Reina's Restaurant located in Croker Amazon neighborhood (on Mission across street from McDonald's) that was actually referred by an acquaintance who is native of El Salvador in his 70s (“El Carlito Guapo”) whom I met at the famous Stones YMCA. Enjoy it!
PS I was there for lunch again last Sunday afternoon the place which is rather small was packed with guests. Having waited more than one hour and a half my food finally came very last after even people who came in after I placed my order not sure because I’m not a regular or look Asian. More importantly, the familiar chopping sounds resembling Chinese cooking method faded out after a few rounds. Nowadays everything seems to be “un tiro al aire”…Try to avoid weekends.

Delicious and stuffed pupusas in an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. It has a nice hole-in-the-wall vibe which sometimes is really what you need. I would go to this place a lot when I was a kid so for me it’s a little bit nostalgic. I never got my water topped off or anything but the staff was all friendly. Sort of a no bs, tasty local affordable restaurant. You will leave filled up!

I ordered a steak and they gave me steak with rice and salad. I won't buy there again. I don't recommend it. The food is tasteless.
Don't order takeout, the person who takes the order never puts it in the system, this is the fourth time they came to pick up the order and they don't have it, they just say they don't have the order, and that I have to wait 30,,40 minutes,,🤬🤬🤬

I would say it is the best Salvadoran food restaurant I have ever been to, the food takes a while to come out but it is worth the wait

The worst thing is, the employees are not friendly, they are terrible, as if you were going to ask for a gift and for too long the place was alone when I arrived and even so, the girl who was there at that moment took a while to attend to me because she was talking to another girl or not. attention gave me terrible service the truth is I would not go to that place again
