If you're craving authentic Salvadoran cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic meal. The pupusas are the star of the show—crispy on the outside, stuffed with delicious fillings like cheese, beans, and pork, and served with tangy curtido and salsa. The sopa de res (beef soup) is hearty and comforting, with tender meat and rich flavors that make you feel right at home. Every dish is...

"This steak... it was... magnificent. Truly a cut above the rest. Tender, juicy, bursting with flavor. The tostones, crispy and perfectly seasoned, were the ideal accompaniment. This Salvadoran restaurant... it has a certain... je ne sais quoi. The atmosphere was lively, the service impeccable. A dining experience worthy of a Saiyan Prince.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must indulge in a celebratory protein shake. This meal has certainly fueled my inner warrior."

First time in the area and I stopped to eat at this place and I tell you that it is super delicious... The menu does not have prices since you need to see what QR code to see the prices... But the place is delicious... and the very helpful people.. highly recommended
