This place checks all the boxes for an authentic, family run, home-cooked experience. The menu is a mishmash of printed page and handwriting, the staff and clientele are nearly all Spanish speaking, it is spotless for dirt and there is Mexican football on the telly. The food is good. It's not fancy, and that should keep the snobs away, but it has the essential combination of scent, visuals, taste and the inner warmth a cook who loves a dish can make. You can do the El Typico half chicken, tacos which my sons say are rocking, steak platters in all their various combinations, and these wee Jammie cake style pupusa things. A novelty for me, very popular in Latin America apparently, they are enclosed buckwheat pancakes with a choice of fillings. Some of which you've never heard of, so try them. This is grass roots cooking, and I am a fan. In a low sodium World, the tropical propensity for salt is punkette, the spice combinations are unfamiliar but pleasing. Part of the meal I ate was a little dry, but that's what the excellent salsa is for, and everyone at the table is coming back. There is no booze, which is a good thing in working mens establishments playing football, and the while the drinks selection is authentic it is limited. Expect to pay fifteen bucks a head per adult, leaving plenty of opportunity for a jumbo tip. Don't go if you are stuck up.

I did not eat any of the food here. I just wanted to share what the ambiance was like. Walked In with my family for dinner. The lights were off there are only 2-3 tables at the side and the place smelled musty. Just saw some people drinking by the bar. Did not seem like a place for a family dinner. ?

Great staff, Great food and great prices! DEF rec to Fam and Friends!
So so disappointed. A friend told me the pupusa were AMAZING here. They were okay. Nothing special. BUT the steak. Wow. I read the reviews when I was pulling up the menu and saw a photo of the steak. It looks delicious in the picture. So I ordered it to go. I get home and open the food. I have a dry & unseasoned steak. This meat was cooked for a dog to enjoy. I have never seen a place like this serve unseasoned meat. I am so disappointed I wasted my time and money here. I'll stick to la cascada in Nanuet Refer to the images below. You can tell which is which
