“I called in for papusas and got a variety to try! I loved every single one but can highly recommend the papusas with pork and beans; it is definitely my new favorite dish. The wait was about 15 minutes after I called to place my order, which was not bad at all. The owner was very kind and gave us a slice of pizza to try for free, which was good as well. Overall, great experience, and I will be coming back soon!“
“Great little nock in the heart of Englewood, NJ for the best Salvadorian home cooking in the area. Always get personalized service at this place. You want it, just ask. Ms. Yolanda and Jorge always go above and beyond to make you culinary experience memorable. Recommend, give it a shot you will not be disappointed!“
“We stumbled upon this restaurant, driven by my husband's Honduran roots, and it exceeded our expectations. The waiter's exceptional politeness and impeccable tableside manners left a lasting impression, reminiscent of my father's high standards for service.The food was a true delight. My husband relished an order of baleadas, featuring homemade, thick, and soft flour tortillas that were simply perfect. We loved them so much that we took two extra tortillas back to our hotel. My choice of pupusas—queso, chicharron, and revuelta—was nothing short of amazing. Generously filled and substantial, they were a flavorful experience. Adding to the feast, the maduros appetizer with cream was a highlight, and I could easily devour a whole plate.In conclusion, this restaurant is a gem for those reconnecting with their roots or daring to explore something new. We're eager to return and savor the delightful flavors once more.“
“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 ordered a delicious beef soup and that soup was spectacular. They say they always keep fresh soup because some other places they have to unfreeze the soup and vegetables are not good that way. I highly recommend this place. Excellent food and very friendly stuff!“
