Really great service and food too.
Strange way to get there and the diner decor is not Salvadorian. But why spend money to change that when the food and service are why we are there?

We ate there for breakfast on a Saturday and the food was incredible! Great service as well. I will definitely be back to try their lunch items. Didn’t get any photos because I was too excited to eat. 😂

Beat pupusas in Town with reasonable prices and good service. A family-owned business!

Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian pupusas (beans, loroco, cheese, spinach). If you get the fried yuca be aware you'll need to ask them to leave the fish off (it comes with a garnish of fried fish).

Parking: You have to walk up the hill from the parking lot, but usually during the week, it's easy to find a spot closer to the building.

Kid-friendliness:...
