Great place to your Salvadoran meals. Did a take out order and they forgot an item and they called me before I could get out of the parking lot. Really appreciate there desire to get it right no matter what it took. Every one was excited about what they ordered.

Great Mexican/Salvadorian food!!
Excellent portions, good value, quality ingredients. We love coming here for the fajitas mixtas which has chicken, beef and shrimp plus onions and bell peppers.
Their beans are delish, and the Salvadorian tortillas, which are handmade and thicker than your usual ones is always soft and comforting.
The place is certainly not fancy, but the food is always on point, with a friendly service. A hidden gem for good eats!
