We always order Balaida from this place, and they are the best in this location. They do have a variety of food options to choose from. It is a casual place so people can go and dine in as well. I definitely recommend trying balaida from this place.

We brought in a class of Spanish students and they helped us order in Spanish. The server was prompt and highly efficient and effective. There was a lot of beef in the entrees and appetizers; we each got something different all our choices were delicious. And the luncheon menu was a lot less expensive for the dishes we chose

Authentic Central American Cuisine. Dine in, Carry Out or order for delivery. Their staff is friendly and their orders are promptly prepared. Their dishes are very tasty! Give this place a try. They also have a bar which is open till late night which I try to avoid because I no longer belong to that scene. But everything else in this restaurant is great! Give their food a try if you like latino dishes that are cooked homestyle.
