I was there for pickup it was relatively quick. The food was fresh I think it is the Salvadoran home for authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The music and the TV's all tuned to Salvadoran favorites. Soccer matches and Univision on the TV screens make for an enjoyable place and comida with something for everyone. Kevin

First time there. The area looks a little sketch at night since it’s next door to a night club on the eastside and parking lot was full. But I didn’t have an issue and I went alone. The food, DELICIOUS!
I’ll definitely go back. Probably in the day time but well worth the sketchiness.
