Came here with my family on my first night in Salem and we were warmly welcomed by Alex, who was very kind and attentive with us!

The food here is amazing, everything tasted really good! Great option for vegetarians like me and also for people who eat meat as well (especially if you’re brazillian, the food here is very similar to the ones we have back home!)

Amazing way to start our first trip to Salem!
Definitely recommend and...

Holy smokes the ground beef burrito was delicious... Perfectly seasoned rice, fresh pico and savory beef. Highly recommend trying this if you're in the area. The chips and queso are a must!

Service was a bit spotty, but understandable for it being Halloween night. Food was delicious and the wolf's blood infusion drink was really sweet and tasty, that it didn't feel like it was even alcohol.
