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.
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.
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.
