This is a great authentic Salvadorian / Mexican cuisine experience. It is like into a little vacation for the senses. Love the food and atmosphere and the owner is great. Portions are generous and prices reasonable.

Great caldo de carne. I got several pieces of beef ribs. Soup has tender yuca, carrots, cabbage, plantain. Or comes with two tortillas.

The food wasn't what I expected at all. I ordered street tacos, and they were ok. They should also make it clear on their website that fajitas are sold after a certain time on weekends. We were told they weren't sold until after 3pm

We had a pleasant dinner last night (Friday). Fajita salad was good, my husband's chicken burrito was a bit dry. Service was good; the owner came over and greeted us since we were new customers. That was nice. I like the atmosphere. The entire clientele except us was Hispanic, so it feels authentic. Its been
here 20 years. A mariachi band arrived as we were leaving.
We ate early and it was quiet, I don't know how lively it gets later.

Very bad service with the food and the waitresses asked for chicken soup and a piece of leg was left, they gave me when before they gave more and the service is not good, they are only interested in charging tip, tip

Terrible service

First time here came for some tacos and they were pretty good. Just wish they didn’t forget the hot sauce :( but I’m not sure if I had to request it. I Will be going back for a second try. You have the option to choose from handmade tortillas or street style tortillas. Comes with 2 sides so that’s a plus.

Food was pretty good. Average taste to be honest. Service sucked. The rude facial expressions from the server was not called for. I’ve never felt like a burden. Especially on a slow night. Their goal is Jack up the bill as much as possible and charge you for every little thing. I’ve never been charged for hot sauce until I came here. Wouldn’t return.
