I love their food! I first came in 2022 when I was in DC for a work conference. I was back in DC in 2026 and searched around so I could find this little place again. Highlight of my trip!

This is my favorite restaurant in DC!!! The servers are always super friendly and nice, and the food is delicious. I always get the chicken tacos, and the shredded chicken is so moist and delicious every time. My girlfriend swears by their horchata, and we’ve tried their Jamaica as well, which is very good. The Chicken Crema dish is one of our favorites, but this week we got the chicken fajitas and they were so flavorful. The best part of every meal though is their liquado beans!!! They’re so salty and creamy, and the yellow rice is so buttery and rich. If you get tacos or pupusas, get the platter option, because it comes with rice and beans.

Polite and friendly staff, delicious food in generous portions, low prices, extensive menu. Makes me wish I lived closer, I'd go often! All six of us got different items and they were all amazing. Lots of gluten free options, almost everything! We got two appetizers and two desserts and six entrees , and two soft drinks for only$180!

One of my favorite places in DC!!! The pupusas are amazing. They’re perfectly soft and they have a delicious mango salsa on the side. I also want to apologize—my father was pretty rude when we came here. He started banging on the door and yelling because he was impatient. The staff handled this with lots of grace. Thanks for the amazing pupusas, and thanks for the wonderful customer service in the face of rudeness.
This is a very small restaurant so if you have a large party (6+) be mindful it could be a tight fit. If you see a tablet, it's not for you to order, it's for them. I thought it was self service at first but that's not the case.
I recommend grabbing something from the El Salvadorian specific menu.
The food was good and presented in a good manner. Just look at my picture.
Be prepared for a world of flavor. Highly recommend before a capital one event - saves you Soo much!

Nice low-key spot with just a few tables. Friendly service. Best chimichanga I've had in a while. My partner, who is vegetarian, had a couple of the pupusas and said they were great.
