A few days ago I went to eat at this restaurant and I found it totally unpleasant. The food was super expensive, the meat and the preparation were of very low quality and the worst thing was that the service from the cashiers was very unpleasant and arrogant.

I think that the owner of this place should invest in hiring staff that is not so unpleasant because as they charge a lot of money and serve little food, they should provide good service.

The food is good, but the service is terrible, they should improve it ☺️. It's as if you were asking them for a favor and in reality you are paying, not asking for free 😄 (they take a while to serve the food!!.

This review is based on the purchase of 2 cheese pupusas and a chan.
It was lunch rush and they have a buffet so service was rushed, which is fine.
The pupusas were raw. The dough was not fully cooked through and very salty.
The Chan was overly sweet. Chan is supposed to be refreshing and good for you. This.was not the case.
There are no menus. Just one at the register that you can barely see if you're blind like me. It is very dark.
I'm sure they have their strong points but cheese pupusas and Chan are not one of them.

The food is not hot or fresh, and extremely overpriced. More food for spanish speaking customers, it seems. Cant get over the price, plus the additional credit card upcharge. Its not the worst food .. its totally fine its just overpriced for medium okay food sitting out in trays behind dingy glass.

This place is pretty good fellow foodies. It’s fairly price as well; not too pricey!!
•Nothing is really over 20 except the full Red snapper dinner @25.

•Normally I’d start the paragraph with the “bad” then go to the good!!,
But can’t really because of one time they rushed cooked it on the whole fish dinner and it wasn’t as seasoned and tasty as the other two(2) times!!

•It is home cooked meal style and not fast food profile!~~in terms of style and taste!
You will not be disappointed.
I saw a previous commenter above that said small portions were their curse;
Didn’t think so!!
I mean we could always sue more of a good thing right?

Vegetarian options: Didn’t make a list. I eat meat.

Parking: You’ll always find a space

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance from street! Totally great

We stopped by to eat there because it was convenient. And it was terrible, messy, you don't know where to order, the tables were dirty, it took them long enough to bring the food or rather my husband went to ask if the food was ready? The food was very ugly and on top of that they charged us .50 cents for a takeout container. Actually everything is terrible. We ate out of necessity. And I couldn't even finish.

In this place you realize what color the chicken was and what they serve you because it comes with feathers and is certainly expensive.

The food is good. But the service is terrible. The ladies who serve are in a bad mood and in a bad mood. I don't think I will return to this place.

I could not believe how expensive this place has gotten. The portions are smaller and much more expensive. I’m a business owner so I get it. But what I charge for today was ridiculous. I got rice a side of beans which wasn’t even a half a cup and some cerdo for $18. Rice is super inexpensive and so are beans to be charging people that much is crazy. I’ve been coming here for 10 years and unfortunately, I am not doing it any longer. I know places in town that you get the same exact thing for $6.50.
