The food is good, tasty, authentic, but extremely expensive. It shouldn't cost 20 dollars for 1 soup. I understand paying for convenience but 20 dollars is outrageous. Most of the food is extremely expensive 😞

I order pupusas, sopes, enchiladas, gorditas and birria tacos. Every single dish was delicious and authentic. The sauces and tortillas are all homemade. Highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was friendly and they seem to be a popular spot in the community. Loved this food! Thanks for a great dinner.
