Their rice pupusas are great. Service was better this visit. Our last visit we waited about 15-20 minutes for them to close us out but this time it was faster.

Food was so bland, my husband ordered chile verde and even in the picture it showed chunks of meat. Chile verde is pork simmered in a green sauce, he got carne asada and it did not taste good. Beans were bland rice did not look or taste like a Mexican rice. I had huevos rancheros with chorizo I took one bite it was not tasty it came with potatoes which were bland. Horrible meal. We ordered a side cheese pappusa it was tasty. Service was nice. I'm never going back to this restaurant.

Ordered the menudo, and it had a good clean flavor, but to spice things up, I added my own habanero. Bones had a good amount of tendon, which contains collagen. Have a bowl and watch the wrinkles on face disappear. Cheers!

Tried calling more than 4 times to place a simple order, wouldnt take the call. I heard the phone being picked up once and immediately hung up. Their schedule on google also says they open at 9, but doordash says they open at 10. which is it? is the place serious?

Good food . Different style of pancakes which is very yummy . Breakfast items are good and filling and good price . They have menu items of American , Italian, Salvadorian and Mexican and combinations . Its tucked away in a corner and hope more people come here to enjoy a different style and combinations of food . They also serve breakfast all day . The atmosphere is a very neighborly atmosphere. We had breakfast and also took some lunch and soup to go . Will visit again .

Authentic Salvadorian food.I love fried plantains also the chicken tamales were so good. They have an airy enclosed porch with cool lighting. I bet for a party it would be a great spot. Great Latin music playing . Very nice staff took good care of us at lunch!

Small restaurant serving Mexican food and more. I went for brunch and had pancakes, my friend had some Mexican eggs. We both enjoyed it. The staff was great. Don't go there if you want pretty as it's a low key place, but it was clean. Overall a good no thrill place, I'll definitely go back

Excellent food. We come here often and the food never disappoints! Service is amazing. Very friendly and awesome customer service! Also while you are here give Johnny Empanada a try. His Empanadas are amazing. Huevos Rancheos is amazing. We grabbed and order of empanadas to go for later. You will not be disappointed!

Worse experience ever. I ordered two pupusas with beans cheese and loroco. They finally come out after waiting for 20 minutes. I had a nice cold draft Heineken while I was waiting so I wasn’t trippin. My pupusas finally arrive and after eating half of the first one I notice there are no beans. So then I open up the second one and notice there isn’t any in there either. We call over the owner and he takes the plate, returns less than a minute later and tells me that there is beans inside ? I look and I see a small amount of beans in it. Like the size of a quarter . It took me a while to wonder how he found those beans. He obviously dug into it and found it then brings the plate back to me and shows me . I left the plate alone and didn’t touch it. How is he going to give me a plate that has food that he rigged into?
